    Western KY home build detached 26x28 garage

    I hope we don't have another repeat of the December storms. I'm near Lexington, and hopefully it'll not be bad for any of us.

    What to do while walls are still open?

    I did this, along with cellphone video when we remodeled our house. We put an addition on and gutted most of the first floor, so it was the perfect opportunity to take pictures and videos.

    Teeing into 3/4 copper water service line

    I ran water to my detached shop by teeing into the 3/4" PEX inside our basement. I drilled through the concrete wall with a Bosch Bulldog drill and concrete bits. Ran PVC grey conduit from inside the house, all the way to the shop 200' away and then ran the PEX inside the conduit. I have a...

    How many wires can be can be wire nutted in a single gang light switch box ?

    We had a 1/2 bath and laundry room added to our home a couple years ago with a major remodel. I did all the wiring and put receptacles in each rooms closet for things like Roomba's and cordless hand vacs. We've loved having that, along with actual lights in the closets.

    Shop Stereo Options; Lets Discuss

    JBL makes some pretty decent speakers of various size that are battery powered and portable. I have one of their smaller models and it's pretty good for what it is. They make some much larger (boom box size) that are still portable and would sound pretty good for what they are.

    80/20 and other brands of aluminum extrusions, nylon connectors, etc.

    This is key. Once you start with a brand, you'll be locked in.

    Do I need compressed air throughout my shop?

    Also, how big is your shop? I have a 32' x 64' and a portable Husky 30 gallon upright with a 50' hose. That gives me pretty good coverage in most of the shop and if I need it towards the back, I just roll the compressor back to the area. I may look at some air lines around the shop in the...

    Best Mini split

    We retrofitted 2 Daikins in 2 upstairs bedrooms during a major home remodel as one HP served the basement, 1st, and 2nd floors. The Daikins are going on 2 years old and overall they've been just fine. We notice more odors upstairs, and I think it's because they don't have an actual carbon...

    How to bring dumptruck load of dirt to backyard?

    I've moved/spread large tandem loads of top soil using my Kubota B3200 tractor and 60" wide bucket. If you have access to something like this, it would be easier on the driveway and yard, but would take a lot longer in transport time (how far from the road to the final location) and how big of...

    Small vacuum for cars

    Unfortunately, it looks like that Ridgid model is not currently available. My wife was asking for a battery powered shop vac for Christmas for her car and was hoping to buy this model after watching the PF video.

    How could folding utility knives be improved?

    I'd like to see Spyderco or Benchmade make a competitor to my Leatherman Skeletool. It's a great all in one tool, but the blade material is so so and needs a replaceable cutter on the pliers/wire strippers. I lost my Benchmade mini-grip a couple years ago and was absolutely sick over it. I...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Jawn's 30x40 Morton in the 'burbs.

    I'd install the meter on the side if it's not as noticeable. To me, it's not going to look as nice on the front of the shop.

    Stihl chainsaw bar question

    Yep, my Stihl Farmboss looks like that. If the sprocket spins freely and the track is free of burrs, I'd continue to run it.
