You have a great friend and respect his wish to reward you. That’s ok to do on your part. A lot of friends would have just written it off like you owned it to them. I had a similar incident last summer where I re sided a friends park model trailer. Now I did give his a very modest quote up...

My only treatment for my drive and walks.....sand and could use cat litter for a backup.

I believe what you’re looking for is a three position switch. Google that and I’m sure you’ll come up with something that works

The 2 big box stores will give you free machine rental with the purchase of so many bundles of insulation. At least the last time I checked they did.

I guess I’m too late here as far as walls but for half that amount you could have used 7/16 osb. I installed that, smooth side out, primed twice and painted light creme white and it looks smooth as all get out. Been up 26 years and no regrets.

Are you or have you finished the walls as in sheeting with osb, plywood, or drywall. Just remember that if you attach the stringers to your wall, there is no sliding your wall material back between you stairs and studded wall at a later point. So if you do attach, do so with screws so they can...

If you want simple casters you can do this to keep your cabinets in place. Cut a 4"x4” piece of 3/4” material. With a forstner bit drill a 2” diameter hole 1/2” through the piece, centered. Make several of these. When your workbench is in place, place one of these under each front caster...

This is exactly as I did. One area behind the wife’s car had a area that water could run back towards the wall. Cement cut the floor, cemented in trench drain, drilled holes in the bottom of the drain for drainage and all is well.

Make use of every sq inch. Put 2x4 pieces at different heights between your wall studs if you’re leaving them exposed. I’ve jazzed mine up a bit by building a lite cupola and put veneer stone halfway up on the front. And you mentioned....power. A def must. Good luck in your build.

Why don’t you staple down what you are now.

No sweat on the glass doors. The glass might be help in w quarter round and would make it easy to remove and replace with wood. Maybe paint these panels with that caulk board paint to make notes on. If the glass was installed as the door was glued up, just break out the glass and use a...

London bridges falling down, falling down. What a mess. Sure hope the insurance company that insures this contractor adjusts his premiums accordingly. Glad you’re being made whole and that all goes well on your rebuild. Cool and lucky you had that video.

Question to help us here. Are the metal posts already set or are going to have to put them in??

I’ve been a longtime subscriber of Wood magazine. Great rag. Just letting know in the issue I just got today has a pretty decent write up on dust control systems. Might give you some good tips as you plan yours. It’s the March edition.

I too have limited use with pex and I’m not one to change up quickly. Guess I’m old school and vote for copper as long as you can sweat well. It’s not as fast but your labor is free and not a huge job.

as said above, a pan and a place for it to drain. then a add on to your water shut off. One that shuts off via electric control or I have a spring loaded one that must be push activated each time the washer is used and shuts off water supply like after an hour or so. Might be called Time Out...

I did exactly what you are speaking of when I built my shop. To the point where I actually made cardboard cut outs with the length and depth of my delta Unisaw to properly place where I wanted my PVC four-inch to come up through the floor. Doing this I also brought up a 110/220 Line beside the...

You are correct that the facia board should be primed and painted before they drip edge is put on. Any good primer, paint or even the paint with primer included can be used. As far as your ridge vent, you can get the type that you nail shingles over for a lot of people use the metal ridge vent...
