    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    No, just an order number and explicitly calling out that I'd recieve a tracking number when the order shipped. This is my second or third time with similar proof - no issues.

    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    I recently received a rebate from a walmart online purchase as well. I simply printed (to PDF) the online order summary page ("Thank you for your order #***") that is available immediately after checkout showing order number, my name, address, itemized purchases and cost.

    What tape to use on XPS foam board? (basement walls)

    Likely too late, but in the hopes it might help others... look into shiplap foam board which makes taping (while still needed) a much less critical part of the assembly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best way to cut foil-backed Expanded polystyrene?

    +1 for the long snap off blades. I used with 2" Thermax (heavy foil faced) to good effect - simply hold a straight edge in place and run the blade from end to end of the sheet. Definitely worth a couple extra dollars for a quality metal handle for the blades vs. the cheap plastic. I can't...

    Building Walls in Unfinished Basement

    It is worth a good look at the Building Science Corporation (BSC) guidance on basement insulation: https://buildingscience.com/documents/information-sheets/basement-insulation Bottom line is that foam board is much preferred over fiberglass for basement applications. Insulation both keeps...

    Big tool purchase. Need suggestions!

    Can you elaborate on why you need tools and what the financial return of having those tools will be? What I think I understand is the following: 1) You support your Grandmother's land providing $X of value per year requiring $Y investment in tools (or $Z in annual debt payment for tools) 2)...

    Basement gym.. how many recessed lights?

    Care to elaborate or share a reference to the right way? I'm obviously not an expert, but every reference I've seen defines footcandle as lumen per square foot. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-candle "one foot-candle is equal to one lumen per square foot"

    Basement gym.. how many recessed lights?

    I too have a similar space and height on one side of my basement. I installed 12 6" cans (~625 lumens each, 90 CRI) in two parallel rows; cans within a row were approx. 3' apart, and the two rows are spaced approx. 5' apart. I'm very happy with the amount of light provided, and if needed...

    3M 7500 Respirator

    Just bought and started using a 3M 6800 full facemask for home use (overhead sanding, spray foam etc.). Not qualified to compare vs. alternative brands, but it is sure an improvement over trying to juggle respirator and eye protection, and increases the effective filtering by a good amount...

    Edsal 72"H x 72"W x 24"D Steel Welded Storage Rack $99

    Thanks for the heads-up; note that reviews flag that horizontal pieces are 72 inches, and uprights add another 2.5 inches per side for a 77inch total width. Also note many reviewers complained about poor packing and damaged shelves when delivered. Additional shelves appear to be "erx7224"...
