Post: RE: Naniwa Chocera Pro Stones

Post: RE: Under deck waterproofing options

What did you do to attach the Phillips bit and the bit holder? They don't look welded. Tyler

Just another idea, in case you're interested... I've always loved perfect handle screwdrivers, but the one thing I wish was different is that they'd come in other drivers besides flathead. So a few...

There's a lot of variables that goes into someone like this. I know enough to be dangerous, but there are certainly others that know more. No, grit levels aren't standardized across manufacturers, ...

Framing lumber drives me nuts. I actually take my moisture meter to the big box store when buying it and have found that moisture content can vary from 8% to 30%, even on the "kiln dried" stuff. It ca...

I have a few three phase machines that run on VFDs. One of the VFDs died a few years ago around the time of a storm, so I'm 90% sure it was due to lightning. I now disconnect the VFDs when I'm not usi...

I agree with the 10'+ ceilings, lots of outlets (120V and 240V, depending on what you have/use), and lots of lighting. For lighting, I'm fine with lots of LEDs, and would have some security concerns w...
