What does the main duct feed? More than one opening? Bill S.

Teaching new bodyshop owners the same technique always brought strange looks when I took a paper towel to cover my hand, then turned my back to the car and ran my hand across the side of it, stopping to use a wax pencil to circle all imperfections I felt. Bill S.

Stopped at the house early this AM as the sun was up, just to take a walk around to see what has been going on. Trim guys are about 80% done inside, drywall guys are 50% done with prepaint work. Only surprises this morning were the two hawks, one in the front yard, one in the backyard as I...

If shopping by price, stick with a Devilbiss, not a Startline, but a DEV-704532 DV1S Next up with be the Iwata 4755 W400 My personal guns were Sata, "satajet" 5000 digital RP's, one for Base, one for Clear, with a bunch of Devilbiss for primer and single stage paints. Pricey, you bet, but well...

I would cut between the studs, then hand split afterwards with a sharp knife for the repair. Bill S.

I have a set that are easily 25 years old, if not older, well worth the money. Bill S.

Be very careful, as those cheaper units can easily damage the paint. Such things kept my spot work appointments booked weeks out at a time. Just saying Bill S.

Are you planning on half round molding to finish off around the edges of the floor? If so, snap a straight line as a guide as close to the wall you -plan to start with, then start laying you flooring like normal, the molding will take in to account the out of square walls. Hardest -part, if you...

Stopped in at sundown to check out the progress, surprised to see lots of trucks and folks in and around the house working via a string of LED work-lights....Trim guy working diligently on baseboard and a window or two still left, drywall guys doing some additional cleanup and hole filling in...

Kitchen backsplash done today, maybe grout tomorrow. Still working on the "reasonable solution" for the rear gutters. Should hear from the builder and their contractor tomorrow. Bill S.

Figure $7.00-$10.00 a linear foot installed for a 5"-6" seamless gutter with downspouts. Bill S.

We had looked at other properties (4 others in the same number of years) to potentially move and add additional garage space. When it finally came to the house we purchased (see link in sig for the build), we thought about a detached garage, but liked the idea of figuring out how to attach it...

The gutter guards are made by Raptor https://www.raptorgutterguard.com/ They are a stainless steel, micro mesh. As with any other gutter cover, the installation can be a bit tricky, ends can be sharp, I highly recommend leather work gloves, and a new, quality set of tin snips, you may need to...

Stainless steel, micro-mesh rain gutter caps (better than that Leafguard stuff they hawk on TV) installed on everything but what was installed in the last few days. Once we come to terms with the builder on Monday, the additional 197 feet of new gutter caps ($125 for 48 feet) will be ordered...

As promised above, a few more steps towards completion yesterday: One set of pocket doors partially installed, did not want to pull them out further as the upper stops and lower guides are not yet installed, but it gives you an idea of the look we are going for on both sides of the dining room...

SWMBO and I were at the house this AM reviewing the additional work done yesterday (pics will be in another post in this thread shortly) after discussion with a few out of state friends in the construction business, using US industry standards, with a local 100 year maximum rainfall per hour...

Maybe I jinxed myself with my earlier response, as today was the good, bad, and ugly: The good, hall bathroom (guest) now has the tile installed in the shower floor area, sorry about picture orientation: Of course the cap for the step over is not in yet. Partial good is for the backsplash...

Not really, the counters are done by a 3rd party off site, I'm not really surprised as there is a roughly 30% chance of items like this occurring, per a friend who is a builder in NJ. The trim guy (one person) has been custom making trim around the house, his attention to detail, and his joinery...

Lots of small details happening at MrBill's place. French doors are in, and we realize there are always one or two inquisitive people in our group of friends, these will allow us to block off the bedroom access while having gatherings at our house. Ordered with frosted glass, delivered without...

Post a picture so we can see what you are working with. Bill S.
