I had thought I had properly figured out the window configuration for the upper area of my shed build I am building, but I discovered a critical error just before I was about to start cutting pieces.

Had I went ahead I would have had unremovable sill plate pieces that hold up the rafter beams showing thru the windows for 3 inches. May have been…[Read more]

Aside from a bunch of errands today, I started to work on figuring out how I’m gonna design and build the front facade upper part of my shed build.

Kinda threw my arms up in the air at one point and decided to clear my head by changing out the blade on my 20in Bul;et Tools Eazy Shear cutter that I use to not only cut JH fiber cement siding, but…[Read more]

I wonder if anyplace still sells those old concrete sinks for those who want to keep some kind of heritage look to their house.

How old do you…[Read more]

Did some more of what should be the last bits of shed sheathing. Also installed the sheathing for the underside of the porch overhang area.

Started tonite to figure out and try some mock-ups for the custom acrylic windows I’ve gotta build for the area that is just under the higher roof. It’s gonna be tight there with only 21 inches of face to…[Read more]

I did organize that shed for future work today.

Did more roofing work today on my shed build. Cut out the sheathing for the Cobra roof membrane venting that I really like to use. Always disliked the look of traditional roof vents, which really stick out on such small structures. I used it on my first shed, and it works like a charm and keepd a nice clean look.

The majority of all that upper top roof stuff is done now. The next top side phase is figuring out the three elongated custom windows I want to build and install just below the overhang of the upper roof and lower…[Read more]

In really crappy weather of heat and humidity, I did carry on with more final roofing work on my Shed Build II. Nasty detailed and difficult elements. Made a host of errors or encountered unnanticipated crap that really taxed my nerves today.

Tomorrow looks crummy for finishing it with rain coming by noon or so and not being an early riser,…[Read more]

It’s an L-Boxx3. A blank box to do what what you want to hold tools or whatnot.

What’s the issue?

Provantage only covers 18-12 Volted tools. Everything else is reg Bosch warranty.

Again, what’s the issue here?

Share that recipe. I tire of the traditional stuffed ones my wife makes.

Myself. I just want the red pepper ones.

Is that from your garden?

Bosch just simply sucks with what they do in NA.

Sad really!

They are so ahead of most of their competitors on the real world stage with innovation in technology. Most people don’t realize how huge and innovative in so many other realms that Bosch is. Unlike most ‘tool’ companies, they’ve got their noses in so many other…[Read more]
