    Brick Driveway.

    Very cool Petejoe. Thanks for posting and the additional information. The install itself I see within my skill set and equipment reach. Choosing the brick or paver however... mind blown. Too many options and I'm drinking from a firehose at the moment. But this has been inspirational, and will...

    Brick Driveway.

    This thread and the pictures are inspiring. I have wanted a paver driveway in the last two homes we owned, and this thread and your materials pricing really opens my thought process to ripping out my aged and failing 31 year old asphalt driveway and replacing with brick in the spring of 2020 or...

    Gaps under insulation an issue?

    I don’t know the answer, but your site work almost looks too nice to cover in concrete.

    Installing your own ac system

    TT: That wife of yours does good work. Looks like she did more and worked harder in the height of summer than some laborers I've hired over the years in Phoenix. Seeing your Mega reminds me of my old 2006 MegaPig with a trussed front axle, 6" Carli with long travel Deavers and King 3" shocks...

    House air conditioning question (adjusting fan speeds)

    I'm not familiar with your specific machine and its form of speed adjustment. All I've seen to change the speed is jumpers on the control board or landing the fan wiring on different terminals. As for desired fan speed, a higher cfm per ton will run less as you noticed, but it will have less...

    I had never heard of such a thing until this thread. Very cool! While it was a mostly frustrating experience, I'm glad you shared it. I learned something new today and am completing reasons for needing one.

    You have ACWholesalers(?) right in Phoenix on the south side of I-10 around Central or the I-17 spur for purchasing the units themselves. https://www.acwholesalers.com/ For sheet metal and other HVAC things in Phoenix, I've used this company before on Washington Street http://www.csamco.com/...

    Shut down if condenser fan or evap fan inop

    As said above, some programmable CT’s or CT’s that close a set of contacts within your necessary amp range would be very easy to install, and likely more reliable than airflow switches outdoors.

    Let's set some trusses... No, not happening..

    The tow bill is cheaper than the repair bill that action could have created.

    Cutting frost wall to install man-door?

    I've been thinking about doing this exact same thing in my garage but there's a part of the install that I don't understand. Do you set the prehung exterior man door directly on the cutout front wall which is cut even with the garage slab, or does something get placeed underneath the threshold...

    Hard Hats/Cranium PPE- What's everyone wearing?

    The huge General Contractor companies are moving to ******** helmets. Clark or SKANSKA led the charge in the industry. For some reason, I just can't remember the brands at the moment but I'm a fan and intend to pick one up eventually. I currently wear a tan full brim electrical Class G hard hat...

    Drilling through tool steel?

    So Rick while on this topic, how well does your machine work (prior to failure) for limbs? I'm interested in buying a small wood chipper, but the Chinese equipment on the market has made it difficult to view any online review as an honest one. First hand accounts are rare. It seems you like...

    I like 1/4” drive 91844 SK sets so much, I bought another [emoji12]

    I have that equivalent set from SnapOn. I was very proud to have finally bought it twelve or so years ago, and for some reason am still proud to have it. Most of my other tools, even tools costing thousands are just tools to me. But for some reason I have put that little SnapOn quarter inch...
