I’d go XR just for the brushless. I got the XR DCK684D2 kit and have zero complaints. I already had 2 5ah batteries on hand so the lack of good batteries wasn’t an issues. The 7 1/4 saw is awesome and has tons of power. My dad used my kit once and liked it so much he upgraded all his tools...

Drums will carry much further than any air compressor. I visited a studio once that built walls and filled them with sand... the loose sand absorbs the low end frequencies.. the room still required additional acoustic treatments for higher frequencies... I talked to one of the guys who...

I bought the 4 gallon 5hp Rigid portable shop vac to use in tight crawl spaces, its the best shop vac I've ever owned.. Still my go to after 5 years Rigid WET/DRY 4gallon 5HP

I did 2 layers of 3/4” ply on top of 4” of XPS foam and I personally wouldn’t use anything thinner, I feel a comfortable spring in my step but firm enough that the avg person would never notice. I also had to place some small underlayment foam between the XPS because it was sqeaking a bit...

Change out your boxes and use these instead. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CARLON-1-Gang-Blue-Plastic-Interior-New-Work-Standard-Adjustable-Wall-Electrical-Box/3497486 These things are well worth the cost, it's all I use now and every outlet comes out perfect.

Gotcha, yeah if you're just planning to re-use the existing foam than just get the proper glue to put it back, and clean both sides up so it adheres nicely... Rigid foam is $32 per 2" 4x8 sheet here, so it isn't that cheap either...

Depends on what you mean by white styrofoam... Whiteish/yellow poly-iso holds a slightly better R value than the purple rigid XPS foam, but if you’re comparing the cheaper white styrofoam that’s commonly used in shipping and packing then no, the purple XPS is much better. Before you waste a...

I’d go with something from ubiquiti... I know you said you’re not an IT guy, but if you can configure a wireless router you could set this up. Nothing is wireless, and you would want a POE switch to power the cameras, but these are quality cameras and an easily upgradeable platform...

Depending on your local codes you can add 1” or polyiso inside over the cavity insulation then Sheetrock it to meet code.. GAF has installation instructions for doing it this way... It gives you the thermal break, only downside is that it’s a PItA when hanging stuff on the walls after the...

My lift stops around 11’, and the higher ones are pretty expensive... I made this to extend my lift to 13’.. square tube and some 3/4” bolts and bushings welded together... probably wouldn’t use it on 10’ and larger 5/8” sheets though Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Looks great, nice work.. The video is great, probably just tunnel vision from editing. I like that your scenes walk people through the process of building and that you mostly narrate it in post. I find most DIY videos are done without ADR and without a script and I lose interest in less than...

I have the ultra max cordless that uses the dewalt 20v dewalt batteries and I love it... wish they sold a base model without batteries, as I already had enough.. but whatever, now I have more than enough Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

If your joists aren’t perfectly straight; using rigid foam is going to be a PITA....... I’d spray foam if you can afford it, I did a 22’x14’ ceiling joists using 4” of rigid foam and it took forever Sent from my iPad using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’ve used the loc-tite 8x on stair treads, the bullnose on the top stair, tile, etc... works very well. It adheres to non porous surfaces very well also. Just make sure you wear gloves, that stuff messes your skin up if you touch it... kind of like getting spray foam insulation on your hands...

Yes, get shielded... here’s a decent price on shielded cat 6a direct burial cable.. you’ll need the proper shielded RJ connectors to terminate it with. https://www.showmecables.com/85-665-636-bk?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpp6ewtLB5QIViZWzCh3ZDgddEAQYASABEgKXqvD_BwE Sent from my iPad using The...

Yup, I use 6 tons on everything now... bought them once to R&R a transmission, now it’s my go to.. found it helped to use 2 jacks at a time, front/back... otherwise you’re bringing one jack to all 4 corners 8 times incrementally if you’re getting it up in the air at all... 2 post lift is...

Here’s mine, 13” sound bend.. mid 70’s, ways are in great shape. I Bought a lot of machinery from a government auction.. sold one lathe, sold a bandsaw, Gave my dad the powermatic 1150 because I already own one.. basically got it for for the price of gas back and forth... can’t wait to tear...
