I always wash them down with a TSP solution, patch any imperfections I want to fix, sand and spot clean patches, then paint.

Well happy to report that their customer service was great. Called them right up, they took my info and today i just got three new gaskets in the mail. Unfortunately it did not fix the leaking lid. Im going to look at it more tomorrow and if i have to order a new one.

FYI, if the lid gasket fails, Fastcap will send you a new one free of charge!

I was scrolling down getting ready to post a response saying that my gasket just failed when i saw this. Did you just email them and they sent you a new one? really appreciate the h…[Read more]

If you don’t have a grinder you could try a cold chisel. Or just smash the hell out of the whole thing until it breaks, you know if you’re not worried about destroying the concrete.

I will say for the veto they are built like tanks really well made, probably why they are so heavy. i have the open top LC size and have probably had it for 8 years or so and shows almost no wear. I do like them and will eventually buy a Closed top XL to store my tools and the load the open top to carry into the job.

I would extend the ice & water about 10″ up the wall (above the concrete), and extend the galvanized flashing 6″ up the wall.

Definitely the way to go

I have used my skill saw with a diablo ferrous metal blade with good results. Never on 30 doors though

I just recently finish a porch ceiling with T&G cedar. I used a good construction adhesive and stainless 15ga nails into the tongue worked great. As others said you have to be real careful with where you place the nails.

I use the Bostich 15Ga for larger trims and most recently on a porch roof with tongue and groove cedar. The larger nails hold better and got them in stainless.

The drywall gun has been great so far run time is great, @overanalyze mostly spraying BM super hide. Got the larger sprayer for the hose length it supports and it can support a .025 tip for heavier paints. We are painting a warehouse right now so moving the sprayer every 50 feet would be a huge pain.

Does it need to be open underneath or can you form it with block back fill and pour?

I have different favorites for different tools. Like the reliability of easting hammers, channel lock wrenches, klien electric tools. Its hard to stick with one brand when every company specializes in one thing and then changes the design to make them cheaper to produce.

Man that looks great inside. I see and excuse for a bigger truck.

I keep my snug enough that I CAN NOT pull it out of position if I try. I do understand it can be too tight. If your brother doesnt mind you can relieve the tension by loosening the nut/spreaders located directly under the top bar that the…

I have had great luck with the bostich air nailer. But for that little amount of flooring i would rent for a day. Unless you plan on doing more in the future.
