There's a few approaches for my project that will certainly work without cross grain issues, but it got me wondering just how far can one push the problem without failure. Just how thick can plywood...

Is there anyway to glue 1" thick boards cross grained to make 3" thick 3 ply plywood? Maybe even thicker plies? I know wood moves! And I know this violates that rule big time, but so does thin...

If you dance in a dragon's jaws, sometimes you get burned.

Kind of an old thread to be resurrecting, ya think?

Wow. Really? They may not be very neighborly, but they haven't been doing anything purposefully as you state you have. Be careful. You could be one of those we hear about on the news. Throwing...

I would be surprised if Tommy & crew aren't booked until the end of time with projects. They probably need a few months away from the show to manage them.

If you had a big remodel planned in the...

I moved to Bozeman from Great Falls to go to college. Lived there for a decade and finally moved to sunny CA for work.

My brothers still live there and I visit every year. I do miss it, though...

One of the reasons that laptop prices have dropped so much is due to the increase in volume. More and more people are buying laptops instead of desktops.

Fortunately here in CA solar systems do not have to be installed by licensed electricians. The building codes are quite particular on how they're installed and connected but don't require an...

Most building code departments have rules that are similar if not the same as what Alan posted. I'm surprised your code doesn't specify how much of the ventilation opening is in the upper area of...

This'll help even less - About 8 years ago we decided to install solar panels. The state had a good rebate program that (along with a fed tax deal) cut the cost in half.

So for the cost of a...

Check with your local building department. A single 4" vent is almost certainly not to code. The builder should come out and fix it if it isn't.

Everything I've read about concerns with roofing and radiant barriers was with asphalt shingles. If the tiles are actual tile (not a composite) they wouldn't be affected by a few more degrees they...

Good post and advice by John.

Another thing you should consider - Ductwork in attics can cost a lot in lost energy. Leaky ductwork can be a major portion of your energy costs so you should also...

My understanding is there is no real "surface". It starts as gas and just becomes denser and denser the further down you go.

I don't think Bank of America has a clue. We used to use them for our checking. Since we both work we have to make our deposits in the autoteller. With both of us receiving weekly paychecks,...

While doing some research I came across the following page:

I think I'm going to do a couple areas in wood and...

Wow, thanks guys. Some pretty good advice.

I'll check with the manufacturer for their thoughts. I'll also check into the HF nailer. I expect to have a very sore back and knees for a couple...

I'm planning on laying the floors in our living room/dining/kitchen area as part of a remodel. Never one to do just the normal, I'm thinking of laying the field diagonally with a border.

The...

In an upcoming kitchen remodel I planned on making everything. Alas I tend to take a while with my projects (many concurrent projects). The wife put her foot down so I had to look at my options. ...

Virtually any tank stand should use plywood for the back and sides at the very least. Think about it. That tank will weigh more than a typical car and just about that of a full size truck. Would...

Sounds like poor lubrication could be a cause for infrequent double fires.

Isn't that a myth? ;)

I wouldn't be surprised. If you were buying half dozen table saws for a high school what would you buy? Imagine trying to explain to a parent who's son just lost a few fingers that you saved $X...
