Stihl straight shaft, bike handle, full shoulder harness(not just one strap), with an autofeed head. You will wish you upgraded to the harness/bike handle combo years ago.

Not to get too off topic, but the American Express Hilton is the best card I have ever had. I got the Aspire, so it has a high annual fee, but all the benefits far outweigh the fee. I think our sign up bonus a few years ago was 250k points (about $1,250 worth, depending on point value), we get...

Who knows what the algorithm is on this one... I am a Prime member, not a current card holder, with excellent credit and my offer is only $50.

I run Ubiquiti, but that is mainly just because I already had their full Unifi setup running 3 buildings on the property. The advice to go POE 4k if you can is solid. Whatever you choose though, make sure to dive into the camera and nvr settings. Storage is cheap, so always choose the...

It is a normal thing in around here, especially if dirt is being moved (which is most builds...). A geotechnical engineering company is probably who you are looking for. That is who does it around here. Sometimes it is the actual engineer who will come out, larger companies will send a...

The granite guys who did our 10'x52" one piece island with a 15" overhang used aluminum honeycomb panels for the overhang (solid backing). We have no other support for the overhang. They said it spreads the support out more than steel brackets and is more rigid than 3/4 plywood. It seemed...

Does BallistiX require a certain amount of relative humidity to cure properly like some other coatings?

That looks great! I sure wish the quantities worked out for me to take advantage of that deal, but they didn't quite have enough for me.

Add me to the list of votes for separate fans. A ceiling mounted whole house fan for the living space will cool the house and the attic, and a gable or roof fan in the garage blowing out with proper wall vents down low to allow air to come in. We have a fan mounted on the underside of the roof...

Replied to you privately, neighbor. (y)

This is tough, because that price sounds insane to most of the country, but in Southern California we pay more for everything. It might be a little high, but I don't think it is insanely high. We did the build into the hill thing as well like we already discussed. While it was a full house...

We faced a similar decision building our guest house/5 car garage combo into a hill (just a bit north of you in Ventura County). After lengthy discussions with our contractor, structural engineer, and architect all together in a room, we decided to go with option #1 for a couple reasons. -We...

I put one of these in the bathroom of our new house, as we couldn't pass final inspection without it. The stupid thing has the fan on CONSTANTLY before we have even moved in. I've played with the adjustments to set it at the least sensitive and lowest run time, and it is still kicking on all...

I used a 4" precast presloped drain from Standartpark. It was not cheap by any means, but it felt like the right way to do it and was cheaper and nicer than what any local supplier wanted to sell me. My concrete guy was really impressed with it as well. I did the install of the drain and he...

We used these in white and tamper resistant, very happy with them. The back wiring(NOT BACK STABBING) to the screw terminals made the finish wiring a breeze. I found a seller on Ebay selling the white TR by the case for a good price. Normal...

We bought a Super Hawg for our project, it may have been a little overkill but it has been great. It is heavy, but that weight comes in handy drilling down through triple top plates and beams. Just let the weight of the drill push the spade bit through... Punching through studs is easy work...

"This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and today...."

Depending on your ceiling space you could make a light rail/pantograph system for a work light. These are usually used in studio photography, but the basic system consists of two fixed parallel rails on the ceiling, and a sliding rail attached to them perpendicular. A light hangs from a...
