Kurt replied to the topic Interesting things we see, Vol 3 in the forum Talk Around the Job Site 20 hours, 3 minutes ago
I love seeing them making barrels, I think it would be an interesting craft. I took one apart the other night to make a couple crafts for a silent auction. even though it was old, you could still smell the wine in it. The interior had a great purple color from the wine that will give things an interesting look. There is a lot of work that goes…[Read more]

Stan, that would be interesting to see, you can just email them to me if you want, I think the software I use is a Chief Architect product from 1995 or so, I know they will be at the International Builders Show, in Vegas , in January that I will be at , so I will ask them about their more scaled down software. I once bought their full version…[Read more]

Kurt replied to the topic TESLA Cyber Truck Launch in the forum Talk Around the Job Site 4 days ago
While I do not have any experience with Electric vehicles, I experience a few days below zero F, like we just had, and it makes me wonder how the cold weather will affect battery life.
We all know what it does to our cordless tools, will it do the same for the batteries in the cars or trucks.
Also, the only way I see to heat the vehicle is with…[Read more]

We do not build anything on a slab without a course of block on top of the slab to give a separation from the wood framing to grade. Having a course of 8″ block allows for a good 7″ of separation and helps greatly.
It pretty much eliminates the jamb rot we are seeing in the photo’s and gives a much more rot resistant structure.

I can understand going that route. My issue is that my freehand drawing capabilities are, shall we say, challenged?

Dose this mean I will need adapters for my older Fein’s when I end up having to buy the newer blades?
I have a bunch of older ones that I got cheap that we are working through.

Bosch used to have an adapter that was about the size and thickness of a quarter that you used to fit different blades. I have a couple laying around still. I will try to find one and get a photo.

While the OP is a little short of details and a photo would help, here is my take on this. Unfortunately I do have to make a few educated guesses.
the garage is a freestanding structure that is build on a foundation consisting of a thickened slab and not a stem wall with frost footings. The reason that the slab cracked is that some frost got…[Read more]

Starting a tub replacement today. We are replacing it with a shower for an older couple. Removing the old steel tub and the plaster walls to get it out. Plumber will be in tomorrow to rework the drain and install a new faucet and set the base and walls.

My Bosch 18V OMT died the other day, while working out of town, and I needed one to finish what we were working on. The local store had the Dewalt corded model and a Dreml corded model. I picked up the Dewalt for a little more that the Dreml. It seems like a pretty good tool from what we used it.
It is always a pain when a tool dies when you…[Read more]

Sounds like a good move Chad. Congratulations of finding something that you are excited about. How far is Pittsburg from where you live in Ohio?

We have installed several of the Navien units and they are a good unit. If the wait for the hot water is an issue they do have a unit with a small buffer tank and a recirculation pump to keep hot water in the lines and get hot water to the point of discharge faster. You will wan to insulate you hot water lines in a system such as this.

fixing a window well and getting ready for our first Snowmageddon of this winter. We already had plenty last spring and they are saying we are in the middle of the heaviest band. I really hope it shifts and gives us a little reprieve, I am really not ready for this crap yet this year.
