    1990's Delta power tools paint color?

    Does anyone know the color of 90's Delta power tools like this radial arm saw or the best way to match it? I suppose I could take something like the blade cover to a paint store and have them match? Cheers Dukester

    Repairing rotten T-111 siding

    I have a shed that sits on a concrete slab. There was some miscommunication between the contractor and I when the grading was done and foundation and slab was poured and so the bottom of the siding (T-111 plywood) sits too close to the ground. Rains splash the bottom and over the years the...
