In regards to the above pictures I also noticed that the clear flat piece of plastic that's rectangle with a hole in it broke where can I get a new one

Here is a picture of my Milwaukee jigsaw it is one of the tools that was sitting on the other side of my garage when I was just hanging drywall...
Should I pull apart any other tools that are this dirty inside and properly clean them out or just blowout with air or use the shop vac?

Since the job is being done by myself i'm even having issues with a 90 minute since it's like 100 here if I notice a issue area, I got to tape and get down and fix by the time I do that it's starting to dry again! I'm thinking of finishing the rest the premix
What one should I go with? I already have a bunch of the all-purpose green at home but what about this +3 stuff?

I know this sounds crazy/bad but it's taken me at least 10 hrs + so far of international calls, tons of research, pulling apart my saw & matching to line items on CAD diagrams that were not in English, etc. I am currently about 95%+ positive I have all the parts needed, down to extra screws in case the thread pattern is different than ours in the US (which sounds crazy but there's a very very good chance that even the screws and the thread patterns will be different from other countries to our US saws, so I think I have worked that all out as well) as well as the conversion to US pattern threads as backups!
That was the whole point behind this project though... to put a quality tutorial together. That had side-by-side drawling's, specs, measurements, videos, etc. So others could do it & ultimately we could have a solid section on the site w/ sticky threads (broken down by the full conversion of each tool as I do them). This would make possible bulk ordering for Everyone on the site ...or an individual who just wants to do it on their own. The few guys I'm working w/ overseas like the idea of me having a correct list of all the parts needed so a PO can be submitted easy.
The whole reason it's taking so much time & is important is b/c i'm getting all the correct compatible parts so there's zero modification to any metal or plastic on the tool (important b/c none of this will void any warranties, it'll all be bolt on). Also there's a lot of little things you don't think about like the thread patterns, spacers, extra parts for the dust port, adapter so it fits US hose sizes, anglers, etc. remember the shipping from overseas so for five missed parts adds up to hundred some shipping and still might not be correct. Plus international calling is tricky due to the time differences and the cost. The other thing is that I found a few guys who are really helping me out with this over there and taking photos and scans from some of their books & measuring sizes of parts.
I was even thinking of having these parts shipped inside one of the Milwaukee black Dino cases

That's rough news Olletsocmit, best wishes and regards to you and your family. How much are the parts?
Thanks a lot man really means a lot very seldom now a day do people take the time to care about others. Things are going great and amazing for years and then all of a sudden one day boom there not. but I'm trying to stay positive because again things will get good!
I received two quotes one was for $53 and the other was $68 -
Update -- Due to a lot of financial Issues for my family right now and in the near future, I will not be able to afford completing this project for a long time. I will be selling a few of my tools to try and pay for the parts. I was thinking that if people were willing to donate $1 to get the to total needed, I could get the parts and do the review, after that I could do a give-away for the parts to a confirmed member. also the $ could be donated to the website for webhosting or to the winners choosing to a charity.
Of course, this would all be verified and checked out first by the site admins before anything was done. just a thought if I am not able to make enough $ after selling the tools.

Also with bucket muds if you do end up using it, it's a classic mistake even professionals make, but you have to add water and mix with a drill. Don't apply directly out of the bucket or you're going to fight it.
Wow very interesting that something I didn't know. I think a lot of people don't know that! -

I just picked up a bag of 90 minute it's way too hot for the 45 minute hopefully this will help me
-
So all the pictures I see on the Internet, lines are perfectly taped & mudded. I guess I'm not that good I think I'm going to switch to 90 min hahahha. don't like rushing... These pics are about 10 minutes after I laid it. It's starting to dry

This is my current saw... I have the following blades: Milwaukee stock blade, 24 tooth Diablo Blade, & 40 tooth Dewalt blade.

Thought I'd start a circular saw blade thread since we all use them everyday.
What kind of blades do you use?

It's usually at this point in a first-time project I would be sweating the details, so in case you're like me olletsocmit, just wanted to let you know you're doing great, progress is looking awesome. Small mistakes sometimes feel like big ones, but they aren't. You're learning, and next time around will be go even smoother. Looking forward to more pics!
Thanks for the thought and support@Bremon
Yea ur right. I am sure I am definitely worrying about small things that don't matter, but not having much work to compare it to is that reason I think... I will post some more pics tonight. I'm ready to tape now. I cut little "V's" in my butt joints. I have Mesh and paper tape...I know mesh will be faster for me and will eliminate the first layer of joint compound. Am I really going to notice a difference between mesh and paper??

It looks like I'll be buying a bunch of Milwaukee bits again this is like the six one that did this....

Supplies for ongoing garage project: Contractor pack of molding for around garage windows & doors, bunch of tubes of caulk & liquid nails, coated mixer for mixing joint compound, Dewalt 6 1/2" 40 tooth blade (I love the Diablo blades, but thought I would try this one) -- I got the Dewalt blade for $10 (half price) so I figured why not...

Some Home Depot's are cool with the Harbor Freight coupons most are not though.
The one I go to daily takes then 75% of the time but the other 2 refuse. They are cracking down on any coupon recently thou. Even lowe's ones -
Thanks man! Have the K3 and got a deal on this so thought it would be better -
Those tools look clean! I'm not too worried about them, I clean them up here and there, I've popped some open before to clean junk out of the housing that I've noticed building up in there.
Haha yea that's a pic before I started drywall. I'll just hit them w/ a leaf blower or shop vac hahah -
Sorry for no updates recently... I have been super busy and have not ordered the parts yet due to wanting to make 110% sure I make sure I have a list of all the correct parts. I would hate to miss a plug or screws and have to ship them across country again.
Took these a few days ago...

I got my M18 Milwaukee Fuel drill & impact driver about 8 months ago or so. I used to baby the hell out of them, keep clean, be careful, etc... I have been noticing recently that's no longer the case haha. Are u guys still careful with them?
I have been doing drywall in my garage the last 2 weeks or so and realized my tools have never been so dirty! haha. Tons of dust. Bad to keep them out when doing this? Worries about all the dust?
-
Pull the recep back out and mud in around the box if you don't think it's going to be stable enough, are you using easysand?
I was planning to use 45 min joint compound for the majority
And then I have a few of these 1 gallons down my basement + a bunch of paper and mesh tape.
-
This guy is literally just hitting the drywall. Will break if I tighten it. Should I put some small pcs if wood in the gaps then mud over, something else. Want them to be sturdy

In regards to the above post I think I'm just going to use The green ones I have at home since I don't have money for a 5 gallon regardless right now..
I posted this on another thread but thought I'd share here since it's related to the drywall... here's a picture of my Milwaukee jigsaw that was one of many tools sitting on the other side of the garage while I've been hanging drywall. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the fins inside this thing are covered in white dust!
Should I pull apart any other tools that are this dirty inside and properly clean them out or just blowout with air or use the shop vac to clean? -- also a sidenote the little rectangular clear piece of plastic with a circle for the blade broke off the bottom in this last picture. I used it to kind of guide me for my lines where can I get another?

I am less worried about the brushless tools but this jigsaw is not brushless or does it really not matter...
