Sounds like your set on saws in that model for sometime to come . How much was if you don’t mind saying . Where they on sale at Home Depot .

I have had plenty of Tapcon head corrosion. That enamel coating could wear if you use an impact driver to really…

Here’s some pictures of recent door jobs we have done for clients .

You did the siding after?

Only on the one door that was a job from bad water damage caused by bad deck flashing . I like to remove the siding around the opening when it need to be bigger then just cut the siding first helps with the finishing easier .

If you can add some detailed pictures we can help you on this issue .

Thanks guys for the info . The big worry around here is the nitrate levels . I will let you guys know when I finally get it installed and if I have any problems with the system .

I’m terrible at keeping up with maintenance on equipment . We really should keep up on it since it makes us a living .
