This was part of their Black Friday offering, sold out online already but I'm sure can still be found in many stores. Killer deal if you like their drawer layout. I'm still deciding my next iteration of tool organization, so I've held off but this deal has been taunting me.

Hadn't seen that white one before - I dig that!

As of 9:15 this morning you could order the BF deals on HD.com for in-store pickup. I grabbed everything I needed, a couple were getting low in stock (the $69 ryobi batteries specifically) but there was plenty of most other things like the gorilla platform. I grabbed on of the Werner platforms...

Same thing happening to me at Home Depot. I've got a bunch of BF items in my cart for local pickup but the site is showing every store in a 100 miles with limited quantity and won't let me put the order through. I'm hoping they release the hold at midnight. I can get it shipped, but I'd rather...

This Black Friday ad deal is up now online and in-store. Picked up up for myself on my way home from work. Good deal if you're looking for a new kit, this matches the lowest price it's been and includes the newer generation tools (the drill and impact driver at least, haven't confirmed the...

While not fully signed and delivered yet, conservation commission has signed off on my general plans for the garage - for my property that's a big win. Still have to wait for the final hearing and sign off, but all signs point to the positive. Still looking for builder recommendations, so...

A52 - Good point with the second story - I'm not married to the gambrel roof, I'm just trying to get as much usable space out of the "attic" as I can. I suppose a flatter pitched roof would do the same. I think I talked to Ken 2 years ago - he was really responsive and easy to deal with. It's...

After a 2 year ordeal getting my house built it looks like I might finally have the opportunity to build a detached garage. I had originally hoped to do both at the same time, but it wasn’t in the cards. Unfortunately in that time, the builder I was originally going to go with has decided to no...

For my fellow New Englanders who might be curious... wife wanted to hit up Brimfield Flea in search of furniture, so we made the trek out. I've had some random luck with good tool deals in the past, most of the time in the form of "take the box and everything in it for $25". No such luck this...

BlueBomber - the obligatory YOU ****! but even more so because we're in the same state. Great score

I'll reiterate what everyone else said - if you don't have one, get one. At $20 it's a great deal. I bought one at regular price when they came into the store and have been very pleased with it.

Jakemac - thanks for the tip! I was going to hit this up tomorrow but doesn't sound like it's worth the time. The pics on CL looked promising, but you never know what's in the boxes. Here's my find from last week: Price: Free. Got lucky with a quick reply on the CL free section. The tool...

I've had many conversations with Cheryl through the home building process. Since we shelved the garage early on, it's been a while since I discussed the garage with her. I did mention the pole barn to her a long time ago and she didn't say anything against it. That could be because I wasn't...

I never did, got derailed by timing, conservation commission and cash flow. I hope to make another run at it late next year but we'll see. I was leaning towards a company called Tam Lapp. They were easy to deal with on the phone and their quote was very reasonable.

Monday morning update: Spent the morning calling up geotech engineers. As many have suggested, they are all familiar with similar situations. They all mentioned helical piles. A geotech engineer is going to run me around $3500 to have them come out and do borings and a report. I had one helpful...

Another question as I wrap my head around the process of using piers or piles - how is the slab installed? What I mean is - prior to this new adventure, with the pole barn I was going to use the poles would go in the ground, the building would go up and then the concrete floor would be poured on...

JC - thanks for the link, that was informative, sounds like a possibility - but as you said, until I speak with an engineer, everything is speculation KBS - house is not built yet, but the plot is sloped and the location of the house is on the high part where the soil is fine. since some...

Hey John Thanks for that additional info - really helpful. Since you're local, in the biz and have dealt with this before - if you have any recommendations for geo engineers I'd love to hear about them. I'm literally picking people off of google to call. The property is located in Stoneham by...

Hey All I just want to say thanks for all the insight and advice - it gives me both hope and trepidation, but I'm not giving up yet. I've got the numbers of a couple local geo / soil engineers - that is obviously going to be a must and the first step to really figure out what I'm dealing with...

My contractor and excavator were out at my property testing the soil for my proposed 30' x 40' pole barn - their findings were not so great. They dug an 8ft hole and I'm told it was peat the whole way - they're not even sure how deep it goes since the machine they brought only went to an 8ft...
