I am spending the day in the office trying to catch up with everything. I have tapers going on a basement we are finishing and rockers going in a house. Plumbers are wrapping up a couple things in both. Next week we need to start another basement.

Today I need to get some pricing and ordering done so I have material to finish the basement and house.

I’m currently looking for one to run Chief Architect on and I’m getting sticker shock every time.

I just got a trial copy of Chief Architect sent to me for talking to them at IBS. I have not installed it yet. Let me know what you think of it. I need to upgrade my drawi…[Read more]

I may switch over to 1/4″ plugs when I use up the Tapcon’s I have in stock, I think cleanup and everything would be less that way. The Simpson’s and GRK would seem to be overkill. I have not bought any of the GRK but we have removed them on a couple jobs. They seem to hold well. Once in a while we run i…

Spent most of the day meeting subs and customers. I got a good sized basement remodel sold and looked at 2 more projects to bid.

One would make the Farmers Insurance commercials as an oddity. A Friend has a cabin near here and this time of year they check on it every couple weeks but do not use it. Last time they were there, the neighbors dog…[Read more]

I have always been impressed with the GearWrench stuff, It has served me well. The Irwin stuff is also pretty good. The Tekton seems to be the discount brand at one of our local stores. The two GearWrench sets shown seem to be different sizes, so whichever one fits the bill I guess.

As long as there are no hills and he has no brakes, what’s the problem?

AYE!

And no low overhead door to get out of the building, low wires or bridges. I have seen plenty of bridge hits locally with campers, U-Hals and even the Frito Lay driver got one last y…[Read more]

Installed an auto lift at a school today. It went pretty well, now that we have done one, the next would be even easier.

The deal is getting it level side to side so that the sides (arms) go up and down together. You can put the word out that you now install lifts. Could be a nice addition to your…

Nice box set. Congrats.

I have seen the Blaze digital measures. A salesman we work with has one. It is nice to capture a picture of your measurement and you nan also see the dot in the photo of what you are measuring. They look like a great upgrade to the older models like I have. I may need…[Read more]

I saw this on Facebook. There are times when I can see this being a good idea. I hate tailgaters, unless they are in the parking lot of a ball stadium

I would agree that with an orbital reciprocal saw, that if you have the blade in backwards it would seem that the extra push to cut material would be on the outstroke instead of on the instroke and not give the advantages of the orbital action.

It would be…[Read more]

The oscillation is rotational a couple of degrees each way. It is not in and our or right to left.
