    Source for odd size steel tube

    I need two- 2 foot pieces (18" would work too) of rectangle steel tubing that are 1 3/4" x 2 3/4" to fit inside some 2x3 rectangle tube. Striking out online! It can be 1/8 wall, 3/16, or 1/4 not critical at all. Is this even a thing, or will I need to cut and weld some tubing down?

    Look for a "first" miter saw recommendation

    I ended up with the HF Hercules saw the other day. Inside track dropped it to $319. Hopefully the last saw I ever buy. I upgraded from an OLD craftsman 10" non slider with a taped up power cord and the motor so weak it bogs down in a 2x4 with a brand new blade. (diablo)

    Help me build a barndo!!!

    My reply was to what seems like a blanket statement that barn houses will all be a financially losing proposition. The only issue is most banks will not do a traditional fixed mortgage. I know our buyers got an ARM with a bunch of cash down to the bank.
