All are decent. Over the years in the trades and being a builder, I own Makita. I wouldn’t buy freaky. Just and opinion from all I’ve seen over the years. I wish makita had a grease gun like Milwaukee. But that’s about it. Milwaukee is promo heavy. That said makita stuff isn’t crazy priced. I’ve...

There must be moisture entering your brick somehow? The exterior panel I would assume is just a meter socket. It should feed an interior panel. Then from there to your house. Is that correct? Sorry you are right. I misunderstood it. It’s every opener has to have its own plug. From the way I...

The outlets are inside the house? Think you need to find out why moisture is getting inside first of all. A dedicated circuit for the opener is code.

Ordered the cr10v2 from creakily website. Didn’t necessarily need the size but with direct drive and glass bed and being $60 more than the 5pro. I figured it’s a wash. Plus I couldn’t find an available 5pro in Canada.

Ya I knew. I just thought it weird that they mentioned it. It only listed pla and abs. And I’ll most likely wanna use pla and petg. I haven’t done enough reading yet to see if a different driver is needed. Or why it said that.

So the cr10v2 looks to have some nice features. But one page mentioned it cannot print with 2 filaments? Why would this be? So the ender 5 pro would require a a glass bed where as the cr10v2 has? Correct? What would must have upgrades to an ender 5 be that would bring the cost closer to that...

Ya I understand they are hard to compare. Maybe the mk3 and ender5 a little closer to size. So can you fill me in on what a corexy machine is? I know the cr10 is a bit more money but also a larger ability for print size. I’m just a hobby guy that’s what’s to make parts for myself. I didn’t...

So I’m looking at 3D printers and would like a little help/advice. Toss up between ender 5pro, prusa mk3 , cr10s, and artillery x1. If you guys don’t mind giving your opinions on them, I’d appreciate it.

Yes but keep in mind how load calcs are figured. Although 100 amp draw for a 1000 sq ft shop seems like a lot. My 1800 sq for house with full basement 10’ walls and 9’ main floor has 18kw furnace. Which only requires 75 amps.

If he heats his shop he will most likely be getting close to 200 amp service cap on paper. Depending on heater size.

I think you answered your own question. Installing solar and a generator would be the reason I would go with the 400 amp service. Have it set up so you can disconnect the main service from house and shop but still be able to back feed from either. That way if shop don’t use all power solar...

1x4” on 32” Centers nailed to your studs horizontally. Then screw the metal to that. That’s the proper way. Also Preston your sheets so your screw lines are nice and straight.

I’ve never bent hinges. You can do wonders with shimming. I’ve hung hundreds of thousands of doors lol I’ve bent metal doors with a 2x4 to twist then to fit the opening because sometimes it’s what you have to do when you pin a frame down perfect and the brick layer somehow bends or twists your...

Everything here is a deivorced setup. Sometimes older houses that had jet pumps had the at the well. But any submersible I’ve seen has everything in the house. And a bulldog or snappie or whatever you wanna call it about 6-8’ down to stop from freezing and that’s where the water line connects to...

I read this and then said that’s bs. Lol I’m not an electrician but wired my house. By the time I got to the bottom..... it clicked. I installed a 3 way at the top and bottom of my stairs because stair lighting is code. But my stairs are sufficiently lit so the switches do nothing lol well they...

Ya if you get yourself some pl400 adhesive from Home Depot or the like and put a bit on then throw some screws from underneath. Done deal. Strong and don’t see any fasteners.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

You can change and save money on many parts of a build..... a roof is not one. The look and quality of snap lok or standing seam is the reason I wouldn’t waiver on it. No one out here has done it on any residential. I’m so glad I did. Just make sure you use the proper flashing as some metal...

You did the edges too?

Yes I also use kilz oil base primer. It’s needed imo.
