You need gutters.

That’s not going to happen. They just fill up with needles from the trees and things grow in them. Although there is a small section I may do. Besides, I’m not going to be the guy going up that high to clean them.

I also flipped the blades on the planer today while I was cleaning the sho…

Each sill has a kerf in the underside so water running down the side of it will fall off before it creeps under the sill to the wall.

When I hear/read those 2 words one next to each other – “good and subjective”- I cover my wallet pocket and walk way. Something it is very fishy.

You’re doomed.
Traffic will be so bad in your neck of the woods that you’d wish you had a job that required home working.

JimDaddyO wrote:I would have used the house as the reference face and to heck with plumb

That’s what I do with most of the windows.
Taller ones, crank operated are more difficult to adjust so they have to be plumb or vey close to plumb. 3/4″ would be a big difference.
Can’t tell you what to do. For 1 window, maybe. But 13 ?!?! That’s a lot of work.

Very cool trick.
Can’t use it because I have no dead battery but it’s good to remember it.

I think a Fein OMT was close to $500 back then.
Lots of money.

I have a bunch of them in my shop. Different shapes and brands.
I made the mistake to look for a price and now I can’t stop the hiccups and stutterings.
Definitely not for me those eagle thingies.

Maybe he got drunk from that wine 😀 You wouldn’t know.
Drunkenness last a lot longer than getting high out of weed.

Matters nothing to me if it’s “legal” or not.

I don’t like what it has done, and is currently doing, to my community.

Unfortunately, we’ve traded the timber industry for the cannabis industry.

I see alcohol worse than weed.

Why unfortunately?
