used: masking tape and the 150 tooth blade + the flip over recommendations, worked very well. Backsplashes are tricky, but I had plenty of extra to practice with. I didn't see the tip on placing the 2x4s under it to hold the fall off, ended up taking a tiny chip off when the first piece...

150 tooth blade: check masking tape: check razor knife: check Gonna flip her over tonight or tomorrow night and cut. I've got room to work with, so I'll probably make a test cut or two to get it down. Thanks guys!

I need to cut a bit off the end of the countertop. All I have to work with is a circular saw. Should I score the laminate with a razor knife first to avoid chipping? Would a fine tooth circular saw blade help?

I really like the ideas of the inside motion light and the door bar, thanks guys.

Hammer, the brackets that I saw at Lowes I think are the same ones that ooman described, 20" side, fairly thick with a cross brace, 1-1/8" wide back, looks nice and sturdy. edit: I think it was this one or similar: 20" x 13" x 1-1/8" supports 1,000 lbs. per pair Accommodates a shelf depth of...

awesome. what size lag bolts did you use?

was thinking about making a desk/worktop out of a section or two of countertop.... the catch being that it is bracketed to finished wall studs instead of built on a base. Nothing heavy going on it, maybe a computer monitor, some DIY books, car manuals, etc. anyone else do this? How did it work out?

screen got pried within 24-36hrs of me taking the pic that morning, but that snow had just fallen overnight, unfortunately, my tracks were the only ones in it :(:mad:

thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming. This suddenly became a "to do" of mine recently when I found this on the house garage: So one of the things that I am wanting to do is cover the windows on the garage and the shed. Something secure that allows light, but isn't an eyesore...

(for those who do), What are you guys using to cover your windows in your garages to keep the local riffraff from making a shopping list? curtains? blinds? reflective film?

We got the floor poured Saturday, it was in the 70s last weekend during the day, lows in the mid 50s Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Now, being typical Missouri weather, it monsooned 3" of rain last night, and we are expecting a high today of only 55, and lows tonight just below freezing. Temps...

dammit steve and ratrocket, where were you guys at friday when I finished this up? :lol_hitti fittings ended being as pictured, didn't think to do sch80 or brass elbow. Being that I would have to cut through a concrete floor to replace it, I hope that the galv elbow holds forever... Hydrant...

another question: would it be better if I use dope and tape on the metal to metal connections, and just tape on the pvc to metal threads? I ask because I have a slight worry that the dope will lube the plastic "too much" and I'd possibly overtighten the plastic fitting. Is that easy to do or...

thanks franz, pipe dope added to tomorrow's list :thumbup: :beer:

any tips or suggestions? "beer tap" hydrant came in today, so line into shed gets finished tomorrow, just in time for Saturday's concrete. 3/4" pvc water line connecting to base of hydrant, local supplier recommended the below fittings. Any special tips or tricks other than the normal...

I should have started this topic a few weeks back :lol_hitti Mine is getting poured this weekend, and I'm still undecided. I'd like to have a drain in the middle of the work area for washing cars, etc., but at the same time, I don't want to have problems if I'm jacking cars up or any issues if...

saw this on craigslist, don't know if anyone in E. Missouri/W. Illinois is looking for one or if it is even a good price or not, just passing it on... http://stlouis.craigslist.org/mat/516780618.html 25 X 30 US Steel building for sale. Never been erected. Stamped and approved by the state of...

update, yes, things have been moving slow lately. Research paper, finals, graduation, no free time :bounce: I finally have the tee in place, valve to shut off the new garage water line is in place, and the line running into the garage is in place and capped awaiting the hydrant so I can...

twas one of my two main concerns. I guess the deal is not going to happen now though, apparently somebody "offered her more money" than the .10/ea she had listed :tard: :spit: I never knew the baby food jar market was so cutthroat :willy_nil :lol_hitti
