    What’s everyone wearing for winter boots?

    Kahtoola Microspikes are great but only for a narrow set of conditions, at least for me. I wish there was something in between them and Yaktraxxs, which I have broken within a mile of winter hiking. Maybe I'll look into grinding them down.

    Makita Addiction Thread

    Thanks, I'm not getting the battery. Probably an inventory issue with my local store. Local being two hours away so I want to make sure i have everything straight before I order.

    Makita Addiction Thread

    I'm having trouble with the link but when I added to starter kit to my cart, the extra battery did not come up as one of the options. Let me know if you're seeing something different.

    Makita Addiction Thread

    Thank you for posting this. In case anyone else is looking, do note that the bare tool options in the picture on the ad do not exactly match the options when you go to your cart. Most notable differences are that the jig saw option is not brushless and there is a router option. The link is...

    Finishing a 2x4 ceiling using Foam Board

    Quick search suggests that stucco over Rockwool Comfort Board is possible. But there is also another mineral wool board product with various veneers, including stucco, I think. Link didn't copy. Look up Sto Therm CI.

    Finishing a 2x4 ceiling using Foam Board

    I've never seen it much less worked with it, but Rockwool makes a mineral wool insulation board that has a high fire rating. No idea on what it weighs. My main concern with it would be sealing it with something to encapsulate the fibers so they do not become airborne. Not sure if it could be...

    Which Sander w/ shop vac attachment

    That's it. I have three slabs to sand this winter. No opinion yet. Also no opinion on the subject of this thread. I have a Bosch RO & DeWalt extractor which I run through Dust Deputy. I'd like better DC so hopefully the mesh pads will help. I do have the backing pad as well.

    Which Sander w/ shop vac attachment

    Mirka makes a mesh sanding pad. I do not recall the product name off hand. Have some samples in the shop I can check later.

    Wood shop size?

    I didn't realize USO was carrying the UJK product line. I'm probably going to buy the Parf.

    Wood shop size?

    You can run fairly long lumber through a jointer, planer & table saw in that length. But having all three setup across the 11' width & leaving room for both the "to be done" & "done" piles will be tough. It sounds like you don't have all those tools, however. Are you planning to mill your own...

    Ladder levelers.

    Sorry for the late reply. Let me know if you need any further pictures. Greatest height is about 16' from the lowest point of the stairs.

    Ladder levelers.

    I'll get some pictures up this weekend. Exhausted right now after drywall work. Stairway doesn't currently have a handrail & won't for the painting phase but will when hanging pictures.

    Ladder levelers.

    This will see outdoor use as well. I believe our ceiling is 14' above the lower landing of the stairwell.

    Ladder levelers.

    Yes, for indoors. Carpeted stairway. I'll be painting & hanging pictures both parallel & perpendicular to the steps.

    Ladder levelers.

    I have a bunch of painting & picture hanging to do in our stairway alcove. Have never used a ladder leveling system. Prefer to buy once, cry once. Also need a new extension ladder to go with it. Appreciate any advice.

    How is using closed cel foam board not a vapor barrier?

    More foam means shifting that dew point so it doesn't condense on the rigid foam & freeze in the cold. There used to be a good free article online called something like ratio of foam to fluffy insulation. If I remember I'll try to find a link for it later.

    How is using closed cel foam board not a vapor barrier?

    The only thing I can think of in OP's example is that the dew point lands somewhere in the fiberglass layer instead of the rigid foam layer. The interior vapor barrier would then be to limit vapor from condensing in the fiberglass later. Personally I would pay for more foam before building such...

    PVC Trim & Glue

    I've used the same. I do recommend it over plumbing stuff, especially if you want to glue cut edge to cut edge. It worked better with the foamed interior of PVC trim. The thinner pipe solvents can cause the cellular interior to collapse slightly.

    Murphy bed Project

    Create-A-Bed hardware for this vertical queen at our lake place. I do not recall why I chose it over Rockler. Lightest bed-in-a-box mattress I could find at the time was from Bear. We sleep there about 100 nights per year & like it. I did upgrade the actuators to make it easier to lift. As I...
