Have they been able to create anything that is flatter yet?

Holds up better than epoxy. I believe it’s a tile sourced in USA. Porcelain and epoxy about same cost and in 10 years the porcelain will look the same and the epoxy will look like it needs a redo.

When I had my floor placed it was 95 degrees , full sun, by 10 am and finishing continued to 2pm. This was 3600 square feet and flat and perfect. That being said, if I was left with this mess I would ask contractor to grind it flattish and have him pay this guy...

It’s kind of fun watching you guys argue about stuff I have no clue about. I want to clarify something though. I did no specific test to measure how fast my routers/cables etc were. My test was one of those internet “Speedtest” to check my upload/download speeds. Spectrum sells me a 100mbs...

WD, On the second go around, I took exceptional care to make sure the wires were even before I inserted them into the connector. I again checked before crimping. It’s all working great in the shop now either direct wired or wirelessLy.

Follow up to my follow up: so I carefully examined both ends of the cable with my magnifying glasses on. They both appeared to be wired as T568B standard. As the outdoors Cat6 cable is so stiff and hard to work with, I elected to cut both ends off and redo them. Triple checked my work and now I...

Some follow up: I hardwired into my network in the house and shop. Turned off the wireless. House 110 mbs download Shop is still 30 mbs download. Is it possible that I have a miss wire on one end of my Cat6 cable or one wire not making a connection or would that situation result in the cable...

Follow up question: In the house I am getting 110 mbs download and 11 mbs upload. In the shop I am getting 30 mbs download and 10 mbs upload. Is this because of signal degradation through 170’ of Cat6? Router not up to snuff? Wrong settings in shop router? I’m doing test on both house and shop...

Wyliesdiesels, So this morning, instead of drinking coffee, I did a hard reset of the R7000, Reread then followed your instructions, hooked the R7000 as LAN to LAN and what do you know? It works! Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for the response. So I tried this ^ a few (at least a dozen) times and the router just seemed to become inoperative. Tried to use the setup menu to set it up as a WAP and it would also lockup. Installed all the latest firmware upgrades and still no love. Finally plugged the R7000’s...

So I have an in-the-house router, Netgear Nighthawk R9000. It works fine. I have just run outdoor Cat6 in 2” underground conduit a distance of 160’. I have plugged my Cat6 cable into my house R9000 router and then into a laptop in the shop. I have verified I have internet in the shop. Happy...

Thanks for the follow up. Standup thing to do. Wish more would let us know what the final outcome was so we can file it into our collective brain and the world can come here searching for the answer.

I’ve used hole saws to do this but like you’re experienced, things get tore up. Drill bits in the center of the arbor will typically snap and I replace them with a grade 5 or better bolt shaft that extends all the way through both walls of the pipe in a pre-drilled hole. Also don’t use just...

Cut the tree off at about 10 feet tall. Wrap a chain at the top and hook that to your draft horse. Sometimes soak the roots with water to soften up the soil (trees blow over in rainstorms). Then just pull them over then out. Leverage is a great thing.

Do it without a hole saw:

The polishing pads work well. Just go coarse to smooth with water flushing out grit. Can use a HF polisher. I edge joined some 2” granite for a tub surround and it was impossible to do it without a slight lip. 1/2 hour with the polisher and you can’t see or feel a lip. Also made a top with...

Your roof will so much better with plywood or osb under the metal. You’ll be able to walk on it, you can put tarpaper between the metal and the plywood. Your building will be much stiffer and have less air infiltration through all those seams in the metal. If you step in the wrong place when...

Wish I had ran some pvc electrical conduit down, under the slab, and then up into the other walls. This would have saved me a ton of drilling through studs to get to those far walls.

In Oregon I have used Custom-Bilt metals for my hidden fastener roofs(snap-loc).They have been very good bending up specific flashing designs I’ve come up with. One flashing they made as a special for me was flashing to wrap the entire fasciae with metal with an included drip edge to make my...
