That thought struck me as funny. This thread is 10 years old and about sheetrock. LOL!

A few months ago I was out in the garage and couldn't find any on Amazon. The local Napa store was the only place that had any. Normal pricing also.

Nice job. The chair looks great.

No rats in sight! You've got to wonder what they are eating to have so many in the same place. The local food source must be ample.

Well said. I have 1 friend who swears by his and has used it with good results. Everyone else got frustrated & stressed out trying to get a repair made. Waste of money for most.

Run some Cat 5/6, coax to either an attic / outside antenna or to the street connection, and HDMI if you want it while the walls are open. You can always use a wireless method, and it is easy, but, you may find that you prefer the better connection that you get with the hard wired connection...

Mush, I recently put down drainage gravel (sharp rock 3/4"-1 1/2"), then flex base (larger gravel mixed with asphalt & dirt), and then decomposed granite on top. All packed in layers by a plate compactor prior to adding sand and laying pavers. Total thickness was 24"-28" to build up my backyard...

Take your favorite picture or custom art to any local print shop that can print on large format vinyl with the measurements for the space that you would like it to fit. There is a huge variety of material choices that will adhere to walls / doors / machinery. Many print facilities print custom...

Welcome to Texas,....almost! You didn't state what part of Texas you will be moving to but you may need some heat, although it won't be needed often. A/C should be considered a necessity. Go overboard on the insulation and you will be more comfortable. Your building plan seems to be not well...

When I did this project a few years ago I caulked every joint from the inside and filled the walls with rockwool insulation. It made a huge difference in sound transmission and temperature control for that end of the house, especially the ceiling which is the floor of the bedroom above. Rockwool...

20 year resident of Plano and never any rust issues in the garage. My garage is well insulated and a fan runs anytime I am out there. I did notice this spring that a vintage drill press in my storage unit has more surface rust than when I put it there last summer. It was a humid, wet spring...

Several years ago my next door neighbor decided to let a homeless handyman that he had working on some home improvements stay in his driveway. This man lived in a van with a dog and talked to the dog, watched TV/radio, had lights on late into the night at a time of year when we sleep with the...

It seems like this is a long-term house for you and and that you are set well enough to not need a mortgage, and your income is holding steady. You're going to be be fine moving forward when you are able to get permits. It might be easier to get the subs depending upon if the new construction...

My Dremel flex shaft is very light duty. It's been used a few times and did the job but not easily. The Foredom that I acquired last year is a pleasure to use and has always easily taken care of any job that I tried to use it on. It is many years old but works as well as a new one.

It does look real nice as it is. Just have to figure out if it grows on you or frustrates you. If you don't think it will grow on you then get it repainted now.

LOL! That will end up in a recycling center sooner than later and someone will have beer money for a night in many areas.

In the DFW area Roxul is readily available for 2x6 walls on 16" centers, not at every home center but most. One of the Lowe's stores is the main stocking center for this area and always has plenty, most of the other stores have limited supply but can get it if asked for. I'm also in the mineral...

This is the best way to check your torque wrench calibration. I picked up one just like that last year off clist. Works like a champ.

I've adjusted my own doors over the years quite a few times, with the door down every time. Perhaps I've been doing it wrong? At least with these particular doors there is no way to access the spring winding holes with the door in the up position. Has to be tensioned with the door down. Just be...

Check the tiny wires from the sensors where they go into the opener. Likely one is pulling out and has a loose connection.
