It hasn’t really been brought up but the Milwaukee Packout stuff is decent - but slots under the Snap-On etc crowd a bit. I have the 1/4-3/8” ratchet set with SAE/Metric & stubby/long in one case (clear lid) and the wrenches in another. The wrenches had space to throw some drivers in it, and...

Captain14, I just pulled this out for the year. A little late. Two mows on it now. I was late pulling the batteries in last year and they went through a few frosts. The lawn took about 54% each mow - but it's the first few mows and I had to go slow in a few places due to wetness and...

Your porch looks very - very familiar. We had similar problems (see signature "the porch"). You can get a lot of opinions - but only you know what you need.

Of course - I found out a planer is my new best friend. Woodworking has always been difficult for me. Things are unpredictable - a jointer and planer bring things back in line.

Are you willing to share a link to the brackets you used? Did you like them?

I can't seem to find all the photos, but I guess it's time for a yearly update. I got the sashes stripped and glazed this spring: I took the original exterior window casing and stripped it as well: Additional de-nailing occurred - the wood was quite brittle and some cracked or split - but I...

You seem to have a fair amount of tree coverage - how much are you able to harvest from that setup? Asking for a guy with a shed and too many trees.

Did you notice any changes to operation with the update? Mulch kit does not like mowing below 3” and claims clogged more often if you drop below that.

That sounds like a terrible Ace experience. I ordered mine at the counter in about 3 minutes, confirmed they would deliver it for free, and they refused to deliver until it had a full charge (so 4 hours after they called they dropped it off). We have a very large Ace that does a ton of business...

Post a link when you do. I'm interested to read about it.

I have considered it. I have not tried it. Low on my priority list.

I've been using the Handozer behind mine with no issues for dressing the driveway. Power is certainly not an issue. With Ego the stock tires spin on wet grass. I suspect the batteries weigh less than an ICE motor. I aired down some which helps, but not enough for me to consider plowing with it...

Sorry to delay a response to you. I take a couple weeks off and things go crazy. This is exactly what I did. Our ace has a very large OPE and sells more ICE OPE than your average ACE. I asked how many sold and how many serviced. They had 6 sold - 0 serviced and one bad battery (determined...

I always like that San Diego has it all in one place and includes 4x rafters on their table. As stated above: 8’ rafter span = 2x4 - but the wood is cheap. Easy to bump up to 2x6. https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/pds/docs/pds415.pdf

Just here to say that I spent a ton of time in that area, and you're on the right side of town. My wife and I would hike Maiden's Cliff just down the road as it was a lot less popular than the other trails, yet maintained an exceptional view. Very nice spot.

When I looked at doing a 30x40x10 to replace mine I was quoted $40k-60k (Morton on the high end). This was pre-Covid. I haven't had any re-quotes. Like you - I gave each builder the criteria (size, roof pitch, no electric, 4" slap, 2 overhead doors, one man door). This was purely to benchmark...

I like it too. I wasn’t sold at first and the clearance isn’t ideal due to all the rolling, but it’s performed flawlessly so I do like that. I added a bit of gravel today to beautify and help manage the water that flows off the roof. No weed barrier, there is a fair amount of gravel under...

After *checks watch* 2 years, I finally got around to adding the wire mesh to the rear of the shed in prep for a new ramp: As done on the front of the shed, I buried several inches to prevent the squirrels from getting to comfy. It won't stop a ground hog or anything but it prevents easy...

Watch those brackets - they're "rated" for something ridiculous like 600 lbs - but actual situation is around 100 for that bracket length. The braces start bending at that point as they are just sheet steel trimmed to length. I suspect they just scaled up their smallest designed bracket and...

September 22, 2023 I started rabbeting out some of the wood for the trim, but one required more depth than my saw can do, so I made a two part cut to make the required clearance: September 23, 2023 Interior side all trimmed up: Exterior door, all trimmed up, it's my favorite: September...
