This is mostly regarding the roof, but figured id included the whole room for clarification. I am rebuilding our enclosed porch into a unconditioned 4 season(hopefully) room. The roof and walls will be new, but am keeping the existing roof. Im trying to insulate it as much as i can(within...

I figure some guys here probably have experience with this.. We live on an acreage, and recently our current leach field failed. Ive had 3 different installers come out, And recieved three different opinions. I'm now more confused than before. To preface, our county does not require soil...

I've been tentatively looking for a used 8" jointer for the last year or two to pop up. There's been a few DJ-20's that were in the $800-$1500 range. Whatever jointer I end up with will be getting a helical cutter head. I've also seen some Grizzlies pop up that already have the cutterhead in the...

To avoid rambling, I will get straight to the point. I had always planned to put up a 36'x40' shop when we moved onto our acreage. I wasn't going to waste time and money building something twice, or skimping out on something and regretting it down the road. It was going to have in floor heat...

I am chasing my tail here. I have a rigid 6" jointer I'm trying to tune. Right now I believe it is putting a slight twist into the boards, so they rock corner to corner.

A couple years ago I bought a cheaper Primeweld 3 in 1 machine. I've used it as a tig welder the last couple years and it's worked flawlessly. When I received it I verified the plasma torch worked but that's about it. I now need to use said plasma cutter and can't seem to get it to work. It has...

I recently picked up an older import saw based off of a 14" delta. It was converted for metal at some point with several pulleys to slow it down. I put new bands on the wheels, a new tension/tracking adjustment, new guides, and a new high quality blade. The issue I am running into is the blade...

Generally I haven't really been looking at them, but one that is new in the crate has popped up on an auction has got me thinking about it. We're on an acreage and currenty have one small garden shed, but nothing else. I'm very eager to get a shop built so I have somewhere enclosed to work on...
