    Current stick build price per SF

    Those that are currently building or have built within the last year or so, what kind of $/SF are you seeing? I'm in middle TN, after calling at least a dozen contractors I only have one that actually came out and gave me an estimate. 30'x36', 12' walls. 4" 3000psi fiber slab with 20"x12"...

    Chimney cap

    When I bought my house the home inspector flagged the chimney that it needed a cap. I'm not too familiar with what I have here. There are drain holes in the vent that direct water out to the roof. This is for a gas insert fireplace. Is this vent not correct? I don't see any mount locations...

    KR1000 top box, do you prefer the 1100 or 1200?

    I've been wanting a deeper top drawer. Since we can't get the KR1050 drawer conversion kit, I was planning to buy a second KR1000 to take drawers from and swap into mine, but realized the closest deep drawer height is around 1/2" taller than the top two shallow drawers... no good. So now I'm...

    Prime old drywall, tape and mud later?

    My garage was built 28 years ago, drywall was hung but never finished or painted. The walls are a nice shade of yellow. Can I prime the drywall and finish the joints at a later date when time allows? I know this is backwards, but I'm short on time and won't be able to get the walls finished...

    Multitool 2x36 issue

    I've had the Multitool 2x36 attachment on my grinder for 1.5-2 years. It's always worked great until recently. The belt does not want to track straight, I have to move the adjustment lever as I turn the grinder on/off because the belt will move side to side when starting/stopping. Thoughts on...

    I found the thread for the popular Home Depot fan, but it has a down rod. Any recommendations for a fan with 8ft ceilings in the garage? No light, just fan. Thanks

    Milwaukee pole saw problem

    I have a Milwaukee quik-lok pole saw, works great minus the always leaking bar oil. However, when I add the extension is when there's an issue. It locks in correctly, but it acts as if a clutch is slipping or something. It spun the chain once but "slipped?" both before and after. I've taken...

    Garage roof/framing sag

    Hey guys, need some help here. I have a 28x32 garage. The roof framing consists of 2x8 rafters, ridge and ceiling joists. Running down the center are 2x4 horizontally with intermittent 2x4 verticals. The previous owner stored a 20yard dumpster worth of stuff up there... small engines, auto...

    Welding table/ workbench build

    Yep, another welding table thread. Thought I would share what I've been working on. I previously had a chassis table that has been getting in the way for a while now, so I decided to replace it with a smaller, mobile welding table that would double as a workbench. It'll be 4'x6', 40" high...

    Black & Decker No. 587 6" bench grinder

    Has anyone put a multitool MT362 (2x36) belt sander on one of these grinders? Did it have enough grunt? The grinder has been great, but I would like to convert it to a belt sander on one side and keep the wire wheel on the other. Looks like it has the 4 bolt pattern for the guard. Specs are...
