    M18 screw gun with Simpson decking screws?

    Hey GJ, just got a new tool for the fence I'm hoping to begin on in a week. Decided I would use screws to put the pickets on, and ordered an M18 Screw Gun and a collated attachment for it. Then I ordered 1 5/8" Simpson deck screws, DSVT158S. I can't seem to get them to work nor how they're...

    New Fence Project

    Hey guys. About 2 weeks away from starting a new fence project, thought I'd rack your brains for a minute.

    Garage Heating via Contractor: Good pricing? Alternatively, difficult work? Looking to put a heater in my garage, and the contractor I'm going through seems to be a bit high in pricing. Looking for whether this is high, if myself and my coworkers are just cheap, and what the difficulty if I...

    New guy in Michigan

    Hey there! Just wanted to get a post up introducing myself. I'm currently in the Ann Arbor, MI region (Go Blue!) and have used this site a few times in the past to figure things out, get an idea how to do something, and of course drool over your garages. I've got a typical suburban home, with...
