    Need help with our new pantry

    oddly enough, it looks like it should have fit. Probably with persuasion from a sledge, and damage to sheetrock, not removal of entire sheet. From hitting similar snags before, I have a few suggetions. 1. Did you lift the box over base molding, before pushing this in the hole? 2. It also...

    Makita vs Milwaukee

    Even my free gift cheapie cordless skill saw by makita is great. I always have it in my truck. The cuts that thing does, for a cheap unit, is amazing. As long as you have a full charge, you can rip a few 4x8 sheets with it on one charge. Has never given me one issue. 6' drop, phhht. I was...

    Makita vs Milwaukee

    I've tried them all. I did the milwakee, the hilti, makita. I keep coming back to Makita, and so it seems with the crew. I still have 2 makita japan made impact drivers, purchased 2007. Those guys have put in millions of screws. Dripped from ridiculous heights. Still works like new. Still...

    Opinions on foundation work

    Dayamn. That is pretty bad. I usually don't reply to structural effups like this, but this time I had to. There is no way this guy is making foundation for million dollar homes and getting away with this. Get a real mason to see that right away. You are getting shafted, paying top dollar for...

    Carpenters - Wood Truss with Arch

    Just do it along these lines. Lots of clamping force for glue-up, let it set up, will be really strong. http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/step/0,,20364821,00.html This is one of those things I use my Kreg pocket screws to join the butts. Put these on the inside before gluing up the...

    Really easy to do out of straight pieces. and yes, you would glue screw straight sections in a general rough sections of the arch. Then cut out the final arch. The first one is always a *****.

    Need help finding assortment of Flex Head E-Torx smallest out there

    Yea scary to try. The way I hear it, is if I strip that head, I will not only have to move the diff a little, but actually go through the pain of completelly removing it to extract said broken bolt. The beta tools look good, the vim ones look better priced though. Hope they don't fail on me due...

    Need help finding assortment of Flex Head E-Torx smallest out there

    I don't think these are E-torx, are you saying I can use these sizes interchangeably? Thank you very much. That sunex set looks good. Ordered it. That forcetools is so nice. The price is a bit much to swallow, but if it works, it maybe worth it. I also ordered this guy...

    Need help finding assortment of Flex Head E-Torx smallest out there

    Hi All. Just as the title states. I need help finding some E-torx sockets. I have the pain in the *** Alternator Bracket leak on a BMW x5. I talked to one mechanic, and he said he was able to get in there with a flex head socket, not E-torx, because he didn't have one, and got the job done...

    Need help with our new pantry

    If it is real wood, I would wood primer it before painting. You really want to close the pores up. If it is veneer, it depends. Oil based paint will be faster and easier, but I know that isn't an option that much these day. Remove crown by cutting caulk bead that is against the sheetrock, if...

    Sump Basin Expansion

    I have two investment properties that have this same issue. Very annoying. What was the cost, and do they have some sort of controller that alternates which pump turns on when?
