    Festool Dust Extractor

    I will add that when sanding all day I much prefer this unit to the porter cable we have. I can hook up the porter cable to this vac with some tape and other junk but it still produces dust. My nose sure does not enjoy all that dust by the end of the day.

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Doing things our way. 50x100 house/shop

    Tip: Instead of card board which tends to curl and get kinda nasty looking. Get a sheet of cement board. It soaks up the drippings and doesn't seem to leak through. Plus it looks just like the floor so its not as noticeable. Can be used outside on driveways too.

    Re-Painted My Garage But I Think I Messed Up Need Help (Sheen)

    Think of painting like mowing with that kind of sheen. When you mow back and forth you can see it in the grass. Same with painting. You need to backroll all your wall while still a bit wet in the same direction. Either all up or all down. That should help you out some.
