I hear ya !;-) And just like Red Green, I can never find the tool I'm looking for. :~\ "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." ;) “Remember, I'm pullin' for ya. We're all in this together.” ;)

Then it sounds like you just need to decide what you want and count your quantities. Btw, typ 1 washer & 1 nut per j-bolt unless you want 2 ;)

If you don't have a drawing, you can still quickly create your own list in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet; then you'll have a place to input and keep track of things &c. Some of those 'free' DIY estimating software's can send quantities, i.e.- are seamlessly compatible with Excel. I have several...

Professionally, we used const estimating software everyday w/GTCO Digitizers that, by the late 90's, also had 'On-Screen' versions as well. But as I recall, or at least the last time I noticed them, there were lots of 'free' const estimating softwares for DIY'ers; e.g. — . . (kinda reminds me...

If your RO is 16'-6" 'between the faces of the stem walls', then your framing (inside to inside, or btwn, your double or triple trimmers supporting your gar dr header) should be the same, typically (or at least that's how we used to always frame garages). Then, (if it was a raised stemwall at...

Garage OHD's should always set on the slope, imo. There's nothing unusual about the 2.5" of concrete stemwall protruding inside from the 5.5" ext wall, which is typical, as well as flushing your (typ clear vertical grain [cvg] Western Red Cedar - in the pac nw), 'garage wrap' (typ 2x8 gar dr...

That ^ and totally agree with all similar replies; completely depends on location. When I was a Project Manager building 30 to 50 homes concurrently, often in 3 or 4 separate plats, I'd regularly get 20~30 building permits dropped on my desk at the same time - often for the same plat. The...

Thanks to you all for all your replies and info & sound advice. ;-) dcg9381 — well, from what I've read and understand so far, the "5-Star Warranty" when installed by a "5-Star Certified" CertainTeed installer, does include a "25-year workmanship warranty" in addition to a 50-year shingle...

Thanks for sharing your pic, @ScaldedDog. You're right, that's a nice looking roof and great looking garage & driveway add-on & house ! :cool:

Thanks very much, @Jeff C, @lawfarm, @dfiler2, @geneg, @dcg9381 and @Crabman! All your info is greatly appreciated and helpful. I should've mentioned we're in west Michigan, NW of Grand Rapids, where the worst winds are the occasional 'straight-line winds' coming off Lake Michigan, happening...

Has anyone roofed w/CertainTeed Landmark Pro asphalt shingles? Are Landmark Pro's worth the extra $$$ ? Both the standard Landmark & Landmark Pro have the same CertainTeed 'Lifetime Limited Warranty' for: "individual property owners on premises used as their residence; the warranty period for...

A few S-K wrenches for only .50¢ & $1.00 on CL; probably being sold by an old farmer, approx 12 miles west of Grand Rapids, MI Too vintage for me. Though perhaps he has more? https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/tls/d/lamont-assorted-hand-tools/7361389572.html

Looks like it'd be very interesting to browse through. Wish I lived close enough. When not an auction, do those estate-sale co's typically dicker and accept offers, or do you typ need to pay whatever the asking price is?

Looks like a complete scam —as there's no 'reviews' and/or 'questions & answers' &c— where they take your money; never ship the item; never refund. Or could it be a side-hustle by either the owner —or relation or friend of the owner— of a company in China that makes the Husky toolbox chests...

Hi, yeah !;-) Had and raised and breed and trained and field trialed and upland gunned over Llewellin-types nearly my whole life. I noticed your avatar pic too, and was gonna pm you as well, re it. ;-) See pm.

Actually, the MS270 doesn't feel anymore like a toy... then my Stihl 026 Pro felt like a toy, which was a very popular lightweight pro saw. Even though the MS270 was rated as a 'Farm & Ranch Saw' when it was available, it's actually fairly heavy duty, 'cept for being a bit under-powered on the...

Thanks very very much you guys! Really appreciate your input & info! I do have some of the **-*** series of combo wrenches (of which sparked my curiosity as to when/where they were made), but don't really have any other Danaher wrenches or products, that I know of, to compare them with. However...

Thanks Blake! ;) I'll try and remember that if I ever need to replace any, as I've heard trying the same at the Sears tool dept's (if you still have one anywhere nearby) is hit & miss.

I thought the MS 261 was supposed to be a fairly nice saw; 3.06cc - 4.0 bhp - only 10.8 lbs :unsure:
