    OSB Wall/Ceiling Queations

    If framing/trusses are just a little off/not 90deg/plumb etc I would make effort that the ends land between studs and use a scrap piece as backing as long as the osb is not structural. That way you also only see factory edges in the field. Not that I have ever done that with osb but doing that...

    Zip Sheathing Do I need barrier inside

    This is what I did in my first major remodel in 2015 in climate zone 7 with green zip panels. During another more recent remodel I removed some of it and I did not find any issues with it. One new part was done with rockwool which was not faced so fingers crossed.🤪

    Tools from the old world

    Makes sense with the Stihl. That ***** with the Löwe’s but I hope they just ended up in an unfamiliar place and you find them when you are not looking. Das Haus verliert nichts.🤞🏻

    That ***** and I almost got a heart attack seeing for how much the Löwe pruners go. No wonder Gardena does not cut it for you.😛

    Is any of this bracing for assembly and could be removed for more space?

    Why do snap on and Icon wire strippers got opposite strip/crimp spots from residential electrical tools?

    Looking at the first pic this one caught my eye since it reminded me that I have one somewhere. Never used it much and I am not even sure where it is but before I start digging. How do you like it and what do you use it the most?

    DIY Job for subpanel?

    Not sure where the OP lives just that in my neck of the woods electrical work needs a permit but a home owner can pull their own permits. Used to that you have to pass a test to do so but the people kept complaining that it was too difficult so they ditched the test.

    Tools from the old world

    Interesting that my family etc and I had such a different experience with Gardena. Maybe because we lived in the colder north? Do you know how the geka metal couplings compare to the Gardena metal ones? I am normally not really a fan of companies that have no good customer service but their...

    Fantech SHR as an air scrubber?

    No fresh air just air scrubbing for some woodworking in a double garage 22’x22’. Sounds much more involved if it would even work. I also just remembered that I have an old furnace fan somewhere so I think I will keep it simple and do what PourUB suggested. Thank you.

    Yes, I lived a long time in Germany where Gardena is a household name and my family and me used them with no problems. They make all sorts of garden related products and I just got my girlfriend Gardena shears and they look good too.
