I looked into this years ago myself. It can be done but it’s not cheap. First you want to make sure that the substructure is solid meaning that you don’t have huge spans where there’s just naturally a bounce anyways in it. Then you can use 3/4 ply exterior rated and you need to wrap it up with the Schluter remembering taping it all around the…[Read more]

New neighbors next door just went and abated the stucco ceilings in their living roor/dining room and two bedrooms in the circa 1970 before moving in. Cost over $15,000. Never knew that asbestos was used in stucco til now.

I have an old linoleum tile floor in a bathroom I plan to reno. Sent away a sample a few weeks ago and still waiting for…[Read more]

Not signaling yourself Jim, this goes out to all, but that comment stings me a bit.

It would really be an even better thread if folks actually posted pics of what they are doing or they’ve done! I’ve seen squat lately and that has been for months now frankly.

I know I took those few…[Read more]

Last Sunday was what was foreseably the last day of above freezing non snow days. I debated working on doing the shed roof, but instead it was obvious I should dedicate that sunny warmish day to snuffing the shed build and organize putting things away for the winter.

They definitely look like great items to have for extra help.

They are. They really are if you work solo a lot like I do. I have extension stems for them and a handful of wide…[Read more]

I just don’t find this exceptional in any manner other than he has an OK methodology to line up his drawer faces and he squares for its structure.

Sorry, I did this kind of thing better as an attendant semi-novice woodworker decades ago and better as well.

Damn that seems pompous on my part. But it’s really…[Read more]

Thanks for the tours of both the old shop and the new locale. 👍

Looking forward to more.☺

Not there yet, athough today I got the rafters installed on the longer high roof and also finished doing the temp scaffolding so I can clad the yard side of the shed at soke point once I have the roof on which is the primary focus. I can work on side work, but once real…[Read more]

A day late, but Happy Thanksgiving to all south of the border. Hope you all played it safe! Hope by this time next year things are back to normal for us all.

Those Tsask support rods look to pretty handy to have. That is great they saved you bunch of unnecessary work.

I’ve had them for close to 20 years now. Indispensible for certain…[Read more]

I took it down late this afternoon after finishing that side it was on, and now I’m erecting nearly the same set up on the other long side. Realized the time spent to do that will speed things up on that side overall anyways.

The photo they take is for the most part quite meaningless imo.

It can serve an issue such as @sprokitz just experienced with getting a bunch of planks versus a much huger Bosch Axial saw box.

But the delivery guy can easily just grab the package himself after taking the photo as has happened, and the photo itself is no guarantee of delivery in…[Read more]

Hey, what about posting ‘false BF/CM deals’?

Deals that are spot-lighted as BF/CM deals but are just everyday deals. Those types of ‘deals’ that are ‘horse pe-tew-ies’ in my mind and are misleading potentially to others, especially the hundreds/thousands I see as an admin that lurk this forum every day.

Just feel that in this more than the…[Read more]

Now that thisis brought up again…you know what…I never did get that access email to get into mine from weeks ago I was told I was supposed to get.

I really don’t get too concerned about this. As long as when I call them they have all my stuff on file on their end, which it seemed to me they did.

But it’s not a real good thing that is going…[Read more]

More progress on Shed Build II.

Had to devise some temp scaffolding to put in place the wall sheating on the areas that have the slant walls on the fence side that faces the greenbelt behind me. There was no other realistic way to do this.

Worked solo all day as my helper buddy is unavailable til next week. Today, he would have been standing…[Read more]
