Why is this? something to do with galv flaking or?

Somehow it didnt occur to me that Galv could be bought in 20' sticks as well. Doesn't make sense seeing as the cuts would be bare steel, defeating the purpose of galv. Btw I have a threader. It doesnt **** to own :)

Im liking the idea of copper. Getting a leakproof system seems guaranteed with a sweated joint. Next system i put together i think i may try it.

Re: How many feel your in a league of your own in your hood? Man, i had this EXACT conversation the other day lamenting how hard it is to find good help. Its the way it is out here too. Out of 20 calls, im lucky to get one guy to show up. Nevermind work quality.

Going galv seems like a real pain. Your stuck with precut lengths. And pretty big cost. Seems to me it really doesnt matter how rusty my pipe is so long as i have a good filter. Going galv wont negate the need for a filter so how does the end result change? I am intrigued by the copper run...

Might wanna knock it down with a belt sander for a few minutes :)

Speaking for myself, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near a patio table sealed with diesel and motor oil. Probably works great for a trailer deck. Lots of food grade sealer options out there. if food grade is desirable, check out sealers for butcherblock.

Re: How many feel your in a league of your own in your hood? ^^Your comment brings to mind 'Maslows hierarchy of Needs'. Generally speaking, my gripe (and I believe what the OP meant) isnt that people are choosing not to do these tasks, but that our culture has shifted to a place where Most...

Just a thought, Are your motor/rail assembly installed exactly perpendicular to the door? Is the spring tensioned correctly? how does the door feel when you raise it manually? easy, or is there binding? I have to add. When we rebuilt our garage, we replaced the chain drive openers with worm...

There is a premixed water based tile adhesive available at the box stores that is flexible enough to perform in an RV. As Mark said, Tile and stone is used in many High end RVs. The coaches are designed pretty uniquely however. sitting on air suspension, the body is on an engineered mount...

Flat roofs only leak if they are installed incorrectly. Period. Add 1/4" of fall, and run sleepers for the decking. Do not nail anything thru the membrane.

This is incredible. i admire your drive and vision!

Looks like its been awhile since I updated this thread. A lot has changed! I have used the building for 3 years now. In that time, Ive probably re arranged it a dozen times, trying out bench configurations, pallet racking, tools. I am now in the middle of yet another restructuring! Pics to...

Re: How many feel your in a league of your own in your hood? Thats the one! Such a powerful statement. One that I agree with completely.

Re: How many feel your in a league of your own in your hood? I forget the book, but there was a passage that went something like " a human being should be able to build a house, close a business deal, deliver a baby, commandeer a vessel, grow his own food, fight in war, and ceo a company" Not...

What about just framing the mirror? straighten out the ply and give it some class all at once. ETA, sorry didnt see the application. what about doubling it up so the two warps oppose each other?

Finally built a wood storage rack for my garage. Should have done this years ago!

not only do i still have my jack, I just purchased a new 20 ton so I could lift my bigger toys!

my comment was more toward the guys who have one tool they use from time to time. You make a living out of selling bearings, not quite the same.
