    Flexco Rubber Tile Flooring

    No, the Flexco tiles he's looking at are only about 1/8" thick, square- edge, and need to be glued down with an appropriate adhesive. ETA - adhesives - Johnsonite 965, Taylor Pinnacle (2091), Excelsior AW-510, DriTac MegaBond, etc. They can be slippery when wet. Not sure how they'd hold up to...

    "P-U! Why does it smell like puke in here?"

    I have a yellow- handle Proto 8" chromed alignment bar with white pitting and the puke smell, and have seen old Proto handles turn completely white and disintegrate in chunks... maybe yours are newer and have a different plastic formulation?

    "Allied" taiwanese tools are not the same as "Mac-Allied (matco)"..... Correct??

    Re: "Allied" taiwanese tools are not the same as "Mac-Allied (matco)"..... Correct?? I swear I just saw a thread describing Mac Allied, Wright Allied, and Thorsen Allied tools... I'm a little fuzzy on all this, but I think Mac Allied became Matco a while back. I don't see why that guy is...

    VCT tile now done. Looks great!

    I haven't seen this guy's particular product in person, but I feel confident that it's not the same material as VCT- it's a thin printed visual on a flexible vinyl core, similar construction to any other glue- down LVT or LVP. The website says it's 1.2mm thick, which is about 3/64". Basic VCT...

    Buried Axe Blade

    Yes you will, cripes, don't heat hardened steel if you don't have to. You can knock that out with an old bolt and a concrete floor, don't burn it out.

    Old Barn Demo Costs

    The lab report has a brief description of the material tested. I can only imagine the shitstorm you'd be in if you got caught misrepresenting asbestos test results...

    Old Barn Demo Costs

    There are at least a couple places that do asbestos testing around here, and the more expensive option is around $40 with a 24-hour turnaround. We drop off the samples (flooring and adhesive in our case). JR

    Proto wrench skips?!?

    :lol_hitti It's pretty funny the guy managed to do that on his own, usually SBD doesn't need help putting together sets with weird skips...

    Metric tools only?

    Yes! The gist IIRC is that with base 12 you have more whole- number divisors - 2, 3, 4, and 6. In metric, you've got 2 and 5. So your earthy ancient English carpenters using inches an eon ago could easily figure out eye- pleasing/ not- screwed- up design... which they did. That said, I can't...
