My cousin is looking to add insulation to his house in Los Angeles. Anyone want to recommend themselves or another contractor? I'm not sure what is needed, but I'm steering him towards getting a...

SE Cupp is definitely easy on the eyes. I mute the TV when she talks...wouldn't want to ruin the illusion.

I'm not sure how she meshes her love of the wild Alaskan nature and her desire to drill in ANWR. Also, for someone who campaigned partially on the "Alaskan way of life", I was dumbfounded when her...

I don't think SIS had a non insulation component. Reflective backing goes to the inside.

Post 7 has a similar style with a 1/4" work top.

Myself? ...

I know the problem has been solved, but I like this idea. A little more work, but makes the drywall easier to hang.

C_Kott,
What length strap did you go with?

Resurrected while looking for alternatives to the Timbertech "guaranteed to cause problems" system.

Check with your bank. I have a Bank of America account and they offer good deals on Payroll. I don't remember pricing off the top of my head, but it is less than $30 per month total (up to a...

Jesse did a review of this gun for JLC or Tools of the Trade. He liked it a lot. What sold me (on eventually buying it) was that it didn't need to recharge between shots. Also, it looks much less...

What's wrong with 7 feet?

The step down seems to be the only option that would be close to cost effective.

Otherwise, I'd say you can have the sunroom people bump up their starting point, but...

No first hand knowledge, but I seem to recall a similar wrap being used a lot in Canada. Can you avoid having the post in the ground? Maybe use a precast pier to set the post on or, if you want to...

That is an inverted header. Additional bonus is that you don't need to build temporary support walls. Install the beam then remove the wall below.

Throw the driver away and that's still a good price for the headphones.

Full size P-C or palm router? Regular base and plunge base? Can you take a picture of that? I was contemplating making a box for P-C stuff, but if it fits in the Husky I won't need to.

Good advice Park. I will now only take advice from those of you that are currently on a mountain in Colorado.

The JLC test was designed to match conditions (material and pressure applied). Your real life situation may differ based on what you cut. Also, I'm gonna bend that Lenox blade (or any blade) well...

Those boxes are the best. I have one with my Makita drills in the bottom and bits up top. the other is the short box with assortment of screws. I don't lose bits anymore. I've been using Costco...

I've used Gorilla Glue with success. The 4X expansion might be a pain to deal with, though.

Get two of the Duluth lifters and attach them to a 1x4 so that one foot can work both of them.

That's the answer I was looking for. I was thinking something about equalized pressure, but didn't account for the fact that the top foot of soil would expand upwards and thus not apply any pressure...

This is something that popped into my mind. NOT something I am going to try. That being said, I propose the following:
