Road trip. Let's go.

I know you didn't tile it but the tile job is great. I can definitely appreciate the work behind the tiles too.

I agree this is interesting...

The Kobalt Boxes are nice. I have a stack of black ones in my garage... covered in saw dust right now...

Welcome to the club DeWalt brother.

I have had friends and family ask me to re-inspect their homes and I rip the "inspectors" report apart. They wish they would have paid me to do it instead because I spend 3-4 hours checking out the home and the hired $300 dollar inspection was about an hour. I sometimes dabble with the idea of becoming a home inspector just to save people from headaches down the road but in the same breath it can crush their dreams and i don't want to be that guy either.

I really like to use of space in this box.

Yup, drop in fiberglass would be the first route I would look into. Also I think the maintenance in years to come would be easier.

Keep up the good work!

I didn't even know I snapped this pic. I keep milwaukee tools in this one. It's not a tough box but I keep some of my electrical stuff in the this Fatmax tote.

They hold the show every three years because it is ridiculously large. Turns out I didn't have as many pictures in my phone from the show as I thought but I did get this one at least.

Thanks DR and Matt, Over the years I found that lighting is more than just for task. It can set the mood for the whole room and with open concept basements you can use the lighting to define the space. Here are some bar pictures but don't get overly excited (DJ). It is more of a Kitchenette. It is only missing a range and an oven. Here the Bar is ready for flooring. I added some underlayment to raise the finished floor height so the transition from the carpeted section to the bar floor is smooth. The flooring is an Allure click lock product. Super easy to install. I ran the water supply under the toe kicks of the base cabinets and tied the waste into one of the main stacks. I used a threaded male adapter and coupled the run so it can be removed to meet code. Cabinets going in... I practically had to rebuild the corner cabinet in order to meet plumbing code access for the plumbing stack cleanout. This is my favorite part. The booze shelves. I built this out of standard wine cabinets and upper cabinets. I needed the the larger upper cabinet to hide some HVAC. I wrapped these pieces in crown. Then I created a back-lit booze wall. I made this out of poplar and plexiglass. I used my orbital sander (Dewalt) to sand the backside of the plexi to get a frosted look. I added some cleats to the cabinet and then I made a small face frame for the plexi glass. The framed plexi sits between the cleats and the shelves. The whole thing comes apart quite easily. Behind the plexi I installed some LED light strips that can be turned on an off with a remote. I tried to capture a couple colors for you guys. Big ass TV and done.

I used a couple of Diablo blades when installing an invisible dog fence. Maually trenched the yard... hit a root... Diablo blade paired nicely with my Dewalt 18V recip saw and ate the root for breakfast. Jam the wire in the trench.

Those are sharp and look like they have a lot of power.

That is a good idea.

I was an on call firefighter/emt for five years. At 5'-7" and 150lbs I was voluntold for a lot of confined spaces, sewers, attics and things of that nature. I had to pull out a lot of... things... my size or larger that stunk and we're slippery and gross. It was a rough five years but I am a better man for it.

Well it happened... The Fuel Effect caught hold of me... I am the proud new owner of an M12 Fuel impact driver. I used this little fella to drive a couple of lags for TV wall mount and I can't get over the torque. I also got a free 3/8" ratchet in the deal. I have not used this one yet, but when the weather breaks I see it's future under my truck fixing the 4x4 transfer case. So the tally for cordless tools (ballpark because I know I am forgetting a some) Dewalt: 12 Milwaukee: 14 (if you count a heated jacket and heated hoodie)

Lazy Bones?... Roseville?

Here is the bath room from just about day one to almost day done. The basement was already plumbed for a full bath but any layout that we could come up with, with the existing stub-outs made for an awkward layout. The toilet would have been in the middle of the room so I moved it. Kerdi shower under slate tile. Slate tile is a b!tch to work with. Not one piece was the same size. Every tile needed to be cut (my Dewalt tile saw eased the pain of this task). Shower floor Ditra Floor Vanity Back-lit crown witch I have since change over to LEDS.

He'll get good use out of at least one tool now.

I thought they looked familiar.

Thanks guys! Harold - I used a combination of 3" remodel lights and 6" cans. There are over 90 lights in this basement. The finished space is approximately 1700 square feet.

Jennie Garth turns my wrench.

You're right. I don't rely on the handles to hold the weight (fully extended). I grab them in such a way that the handle does not fully open. I open the handle just enough to get my fingers around them and lift the case with the handles closed. If you can imagine what I'm trying to say

Sick Dude... I love it.
