Not happening by me. I don’t participate very much any longer, so I don’t really even know whom the big sheep holders might be.

Well, in truth, a lot of this needed to be said. It’s all been brought up before, but unfortunately, nothing changes.

I have to agree with that statement and some of the others. It’s too bad, this could have been the best construction site on the web.

Lucky for you to have a understanding wife. My ex would have demanded that it be finished yesterday.

As far as I know, 2:12 is the absolute minimum slope for asphalt shingles and that may require a membrane of some sort underneath. I also doubt that all manufacturer’s will warranty slopes that low.

I also have that variable angle 12V driver that Bosch makes. I’m not sure if it’s on the list or not, but it is great to have.

Nice Peter. I really like those small 12V drills and impacts from Bosch. I almost never use my 18V tools any longer.

Congrats Charlie, yes that is a different then all my L racks.

I did reply directly to the email I was sent, but I never heard anything back, nor did I get a notice that it wasn’t delivered.

No, I’ve never been a mod and I was never asked. They probably knew that the shit would hit the fan, if I was a mod.

Being a Mod was my first thought, but I’m not. I visited the moderator panel, the bottom link, and it looked real, but fairly confusing.

Going back to loading vehicles. When I was in high school, I worked in a lumber yard. People came in all the time and loaded their roofs with material. It was our job to help them out and give them twine to tie it down. Twine must have been pretty good in those days, because I never heard of a problem.

If your just ripping lumber and don’t need truly finish cuts, fewer teeth on a table saw blade is actually preferred to a 80 tooth blade.

That’s great Greg, one of the top rewards.

I know the writer, he used to be the editor of Professional Deck Builder. In the old days, he would have sent it to me to review. Darn.

I still think that Bosch was too late to the party for this to be a true success story.

Just reading this Ron, sorry about your mishap and hope for the best that everything else turns out in your favor.

The ambulance cost doesn’t shock me one bit. Outrageous, yes. Wait until you get the emergency room bill. God forbid anyone here requires to be airlifted by helicopter.

Kevin, you don’t use a track saw to break down your plywood sheets?

It’s about time you get that CNC machine. It’s by far my favorite tool of all time. It doesn’t replace a lot of tools, but you can count on one hand how many times I’ve used my bandsaw in the last 3 years, on one hand.

I’m staying on the fence. I can’t justify the cost, though I really like the possibilities. I have a ton of clamps already and anymore will just limit the use of those. For 1/2 the price, I would probably jump for them.
