This past week I finished up the Systainer storage project, albeit I'm going to call it "phase one" as I plan on a couple more cabinets on top of those between the door and the flattening table when...
Permits and zoning are two separate things. While a residential accessory building under 200 sq ft might not require a permit, it will still be subject to zoning setbacks in most jurisdictions unless...
As long as the oil based product(s) are cured, abrade and then use a quality primer followed by a durable paint, such as Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel or the BM equivalent.
There is often dispensation for garages relative to side-setbacks compared to residential accessory buildings and other structures and that likely stems from the very real fact that driveways,...
"Rainbow" poplar is just regular yellow/Tulip poplar that is stained from minerals in the soil it was growing in. There is no way to fully assure you can retain the full effect over time, especially...
If only...but that's not really something possible. ;) Not only is it not a function of a planning commission, that particular "sport" is subcontracted out to Waste Management. :D
Three years this past Tuesday was our "house-a-versary". I got "drafted" for the commission by a neighbor who is an elected council member a year ago. In January, I got stuck with "the job"....
Michael identifies one of the most accurate small table saws going at present from Festool. I does have limited rip capacity so combining with a track saw and parallel guides for wide rips is...
That's a beautiful and functional piece!
That's the style I have...the previous owners of our previous property were school teachers and left one in the building that became my shop. It now lives here in the new shop. It's a Boston brand.
...
Actually, at our old property, we had two units; one for the "original" portion of the house (kitchen, powder room and original master bath) and one for the large addition. (new master suite, new...
This is good advice and consistent with my own experience. I made it a point to get to know the local code officer and his second in command right from the first project here after we moved in. That...
Building codes and zoning requirements are ALL local. Your local zoning officer should be able to answer the question, even if office staff cannot. If you go to your jurisdiction's website, you...
"Report button" is the little triangle at the bottom of every post on the left side...
BTW, I dealt with the "Link spammer" in question.
I know I mentioned this in the past, but the tent thing happened because when we moved here, I initially put all the lumber in a storage unit since there was no space for it with the temporary...
To be clear, Jason said it was an absolutely excellent tool but he just doesn't use it enough to justify keeping it in his shop and taking up the cabinet space. But yea, the woodpecker table (which...
If it's not dried, stack and sticker where there is good prevailing air movement with just a cover on top so that precipitation doesn't stand on top of the wood. If it's try, you can store in a more...
"Technically" the faced fiberglass needs to be covered due to fire risk, so I'm glad you intend to do that with the 'rock or T&G. You might consider using Rockwool instead of the fiberglas because it...
No question it was the right choice for you...I hope I didn't sound like I was suggesting otherwise, because I wasn't!
If you're using straight sided tabs, try tapered tabs...smoother operation...
The Festool system (or the Mirka system, for that matter) are designed to work together pretty tightly and yes, they do perform surprisingly well. For Festool, since that's what I know and use, that...
That movement is from the inertia of the gantry and spindle head's mass moving and then stopping. That's where the heavier welded machines come into play since their rapids are a lot mo' rapid than...
The bottom line that I see is that using the appropriate heavy steel post brackets on either poured piers or a stem wall eliminates the largest threat to a post frame building and that's wood in the...
Yes, their spiral offerings are nice and they are great to do business with, too. Since they also do quick connect, you can still use that in conjunction with the spiral for terminations and other...
You should spend some time watching RR Buildings on the 'Tube. Those brackets are not "sheet metal"...they are heavy, welded steel and designed for the specific load and column size you will be using...
While Michael clarified what his process was, there's no issue with doing two coats of Rubio Monocoat, even though the word "Monocoat" indicates it's not necessary. Many folks do two to get a...
