Good choice with the Sony and getting 4k. I believe the picture is a world of a difference. Unfortunately we are limited to what we can view in 4k as of right now though.
Also, im surprised by all the Samsung hate. I just got myself a 55'' led 4k and its picture is amazing after being calibrated. And you are able to turn off the "soap opera effect" in the more advanced settings.

Really cool!! My neighbor does a lot of wood working like this out of his garage, I really need to accept his offer and learn some.
-
Yeah I'd stay away from any aftermarket battery for the sake of my tools. Id rather just spend the extra and be safe.

Holy cow, this has to be in a state that doesnt require an annual inspection. If it was, that mechanic doesnt deserve his job. Thats incredible.

Just picked up a new toy to add to the stable. Just couldn't pass it up. 97 Cobra vert, 90,000 miles and in excellent shape. Bone stock besides a drop in k&n filter and exhaust (high flow cats, x pipe and flowmasters) Sounds BEAST!! Nothing in my opinion beats the sound of these 4 valve mod motors. Cant wait to start making it "mine". First step is lowering it, looks like a 4x4 on the stock suspension. Even the wife approved at first sight!

Just made my decision easy. Told the wifey thats what I want for Christmas. Done and done!!

Ive been saving for a fuel m18 sawzall for some time now and just came across a deal on a brushed one.
My local HD has an m18 sawzall with 4.0 battery and hard case on clearance for $189. Worth the savings or should I stick fuel? It would only be used for personal projects and stuff, not making a living with it.

Jasonc is absolutely right. I love my little 17ft checkmate with its merc 6cyl outboard. Itll go 60mph on gps and only costs about $60 to fill with premium and itll last a whole day hot rodding around the river. Its those big boy inboard v8/s that kill ya. Outboards the way to go, low maintenance and lower fuel costs. Just one of those things you have to take care of from day one or else your looking into expensive problems down the road.
*sorry for the double post*

What's your .02 on the werner 3 section extension ladders?? A buddy and myself are looking to go halves on a 24 ft ladder to be able to clean out the gutters when need be. When we came across this 3 piece design. Itd be wayy easier to store and transport but our concerns are in its design strength and durability. Anyone have experience with one of these?
Also, would a 24 foot be enough to get us up on the roof if need be?? We both have your typical 2 story colonial style houses.

2006 Ford F150 Harley Davidson 4x4. I absolutely love this truck and probably wont look into anything else until this thing decides to quit on me.

I absolutely Love my Weber Smokey Mountain, and would recommend it to anyone.

checked it and you are correct. Tearing it down this week to straighten it out.
Any suggestions on the router bit I originally asked about??

not a bad deal, but I wish they had a deal going on a kit. Costco had a deal on the fuel sawzall kit with 2 batteries a case and a charger for 299. I should have jumped on that but I took too long to think about it and it was sold out by the time I went back.

I'm not looking at the drywall, I held a sheet of paper as a straight edge and lined up the edge with either end of the 2x, and I see half of the 2x at center exposed below my edge. I'm pretty certain you're roughly an inch low on center. Since I also see same deflection using the same method across your ceiling line, but not the lower cut portion of your wall, something is definitely going on there. Unless you're using a camera with 1/4 of a fish eye lense.
Ill have to double check it then, it was taken with an iphone so idk if thatd have anything to do with it.
-
as I look at this my first question is that a load bearing wall. Do your ceiling joist run from front to back or side to side. what everybody is good. It would have a much cleaner look and also you could put a bar top in with some stools it would give you some more room in the kitchen.
the joists run front to back, so it isnt a load bearing wall. This wall is a very common thing done to the houses in my development. I thought of doing some sort of wine cooler and small cabinets with a matching coutertop with bar stools under. Its just too much $$ to put out that I wont see when I sell. Thats what sucks about townhomes, you could dump 100k into it, its still worth about the same as your neighbor

Very cool. My neighbor is HUGE into turning wood. He has like 3 lathes in his garage and makes some really cool stuff, mostly bowls. He offered to teach me a little, I need to take advantage of that.
-
how would I go about bringing out the smaller bulk head to match the larger one?? That's all duct work behind both so is there framing around them?? Im not sure how to even go about doing that.
-
Want to leave the half wall up because we have the little breakfast table that goes up against it. It would look awkward to have the table and no wall. As for the bulk head, it holds the duct work. Bringing out the smaller one to match the other one sounds like a good idea Ill have to talk it over with the wife. This was really supposed to be a quick little project lol. I can always just finish up what I have already and decide from there what way to go with it.
-
I wanted to keep the cap across the bulkhead to plate and trim like the rest of the house is done but decided against the idea mid way. There was a doorway there originally and I replaced what was there, just ran it over the additional 6ish feet.
The middle of the 2x3 looks lower because of the cuts in the drywall, its an illusion in the picture.
-
So I decided to start the half wall project between the kitchen and dining room. So far so good. I didn't go as far as tearing it down and rebuilding like I probably should have so it does have a little bit of play but nothing bad. About as good as its going to get for 2x3 studs (don't ask). I figured the project cost me almost nothing so If it doesn't work out, ill just tear it down and do it over again. Just have the chair rail molding, some drywall work and finishing touches to do. Right now I'm stuck on the top of the wall. I have a 1x6 piece of pine I'm using to cap the wall. I cant decide what shape I should router the edges besides just rounding them over. Maybe a double quarter round?? Any suggestions on a cool shape??

With my experience with them, its really a hit or miss when it comes to their power tools.
Need a little help with my oscillating tool
