    Help with engineering

    So you are asking an engineer to take on the liability of a building that he didn't design and may/may not have been built to "Code" (however much code is worth). Thats probably one reason you are having trouble finding one. That building collapses in an earthquake or some other event, Myabe...

    Tool chest drawers soft close

    I hate those "soft close" style drawers anywhere. Kitchen or workshop. The kind that, when you go to open it, it tugs back and fights you for the first inch or 2. Its just an annoyance I dont want to deal with. So I was looking at some Husky toolchests at HD, They all seem to be infected with...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    This can be a problem with the M12 system. The battery managment electronics are on the tool (and the charger) , Not on the pack itself. The tool has no way to know the capacity of the battery attached, And regulate accordingly.

    Garbage disposal

    You allowed to put new ones in down there ? They are banned here and since technically a plumbing permit is required to refit one, They will not issue for a "garburator"

    twin Scissor lift and narrow frame rails

    Anyone used one of these types of scissor lift on a C10 truck ? They say in instructions that minimum inside distance between the platforms is 40". Problem is on a C10 the frame rails are about 34" OD. How did you make it work ?

    DIY Slab concrete

    Forms in place. 2x6 3 sides and 2x8 on near end. 10mm rebar around perimeter with mesh spanning the rest. I estimate 100 cuft of concrete needed. There was only one concrete co that was willing to deliver this and they have only one day when they can do it - On a 60% chance of rain day. Myself...

    DIY Slab concrete

    This will be a slab for a future shed. At this point its 18'x11' and will eventually be larger with more sections added. I am breaking it into smaller pieces to manage it and also minimize the impact in case something goes really bad. Going to do as much of the slab as I can on my own; Very...

    Given my recent experience Id be worried about whether that mesh is laid flat at bottom or actually suspended in the slab where it can do any good
