Using the Bosch 18v cordless caulking gun on this project in Stouffville, Ontario. Love this gun, It lays a really nice bead. Hopefully the IG video I attach works here as this is an example of the bead the gun lays before tooling.

Especially with the snowblower. Snowblowers in one application don’t work well in others typically.We have contemplated that a yard tractor may be what we need. Large lawn, more snow, etc.
I think a trailer that sheet goods would fit in, so at least 4 x 8.
Saw on your Youtube that nice new Ford Truck to tow it with!

Moving into a much bigger place this month and decided to store my tool storage at the shop as well. It was a rough ride accepting my loss of my loved one the past 2 years but I’m ready to move forward and am very positive. Having the tools out of my living space will be a huge mental bonus.
