Did you ever get a resolution?

Well, at least you can use an electric one. I hate those bans and glad they haven't happened here (yet). If I ever hit the lottery I'm going to buy the M18 backpack blower with four 12Ah batteries. :LOL: Keep that weird white stuff up there.

I have the edger attachment. It works very well. Better, actually, than the one I had attached to my Poulan Pro 22cc powerhead. I also have the brush cutter, articulating hedge trimmer, and pole saw attachments along with an extension pole. They work ridiculously well. I could make short...

That's the route I'd go. I have their 44" box and am about to cut down an old Wood Weld top for it. Wood Weld makes wood tops for Lista workbenches, if you're not familiar. Question...how deep is the Husky? Two of them might be nearly as long, combined, as the 54, but you might lose volume...

Yes. Quentin Tarantino taught the danger of snorting Heroin and the magic of mayo on french fries. I'm pretty sure my dad taught me that trick. But the other day I was assembling a new brush-cutter attachment for my Milwaukee power head. I couldn't get the shaft nut tightened to save my...

Drywall mud would definitely be cheaper, but it'd be a lot more work, especially with me, since I can paint well but my mudding skills are sorely lacking. I'd worry that the drywall mud would crack or come loose, since OSB is liable to expand and contract more than drywall with temp and...

I wonder if block filler would work? It has a high solids content and can be applied in thicker layers with a 3/4" nap roller. I would think that a couple of coats of block filler with a coat of interior paint would work pretty well.

I think that stuff's been available at least since the late 80's when I was a teenager. I've never tried anything else, because it works so well.

Fortunately, a Lowes one town over carries Doug Fir 4x4's. I'd go that route if possible, since PT 4x4's are usually cut from the left-over log after plywood veneers are cut, causing them to warp like the devil. I've probably bought 20 Doug Fir 4x4's in the past couple of years, and not one...

Agreed. Use the best high-gloss water-based paint that you can find. It'll work just fine for your needs. I'd be worried about an epoxy- or oil-based finish not allowing the wall to breathe, especially if you ever intend to cool the garage. Any water vapor buildup in the walls wouldn't be...

Cut it straight out from the corner with a very narrow kerf saw (think: Japanese saw). Drill holes in the ends of the pieces where they were cut so that you can insert a dowel to help hold the pieces together once they're glued around the post. Predrill ONE hole in each "half" for attaching...

Chamfered? Chamfered Concrete Form

I haven't read him in a while. I forgot how funny he was. :ROFLMAO:

This. Any reason why you want all the paint off first?

I love watching Joe's talks. I seem to remember his saying something about not installing a vapor barrier unless you live close to the Arctic Circle or essentially never see Summer. And bring back tar paper. :)

Another vote for Zinsser's Bulls Eye 1-2-3. Clean the shutters well with a plastic scrub brush and give them a light sanding, especially if the exposed plastic has begun to chalk. Usually a stiff, plastic-bristled scrub brush with water is enough. Prime and lightly sand, then put two coats of...

I've used Sherwin Williams, Lowe's house brands, Ace's house brands, Glidden, Behr...the list goes on. As said earlier, prep is key, and don't buy the cheap stuff. I normally use Glidden's high-end stuff, but that's only because my cousin is in sales with them and I get his discount...

Amen. Good paint ain't cheap. Cheap paint ain't good.

They're genuine Milwaukee. I just bought one of their weedeaters from HD. It came with an 8.0, and the two I ordered are identical to it. I avoid off-brand like the plague.

Amazon has M18 batteries on sale. I picked up two 8.0's last week for $112 each. HD's regular price is $199. 12.0's are $190 each. All the other sizes are on sale as well. M18 8.0 M18 12.0
