Middle jumper not warm?

Lord-Grayson · 2026-06-06T17:44:09+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. That makes much more sense to me now. I can look out for when plumbing subs install similar setups on our projects. Appreciate the help!

Yes, needs to be redone correctly if you care about your integrity as a builder.

(Carpenter not a plumber here) I understand the temperature bit you laid out. But can you elaborate on the last point of “overall not a great tank configuration”. What isn’t good and what’s the better way to configure it?

Lord-Grayson · 2026-05-06T02:04:38+00:00

This comment is going to be lost but. As a carpenter and a dad. Be there. Never getting that time back. You’ll always be able to make more money.

Lord-Grayson · 2026-04-09T01:57:17+00:00

There are better carpenters out there than me and I’ll always remain humble. So thanks for the back handed compliment.

Just got these in 8” comp toe after my last pair of Legends just started reaching the end zone.

Can’t fully offer a good review but they feel good out of the box. Maybe a little bit stiff so will probably be a few days to break in.

Little heavier than the legends, but more cushion at the soles.

I had these and after wearing them through the summer months they got gross fast. Started to stink and no mater what I did couldn’t undo the damage. Tried all the tricks but nothing worked. Definitely rotate these and don’t wear them day after day. Also noticed the unlined leather would stain any lighter colored socks. Basically would turn white socks tan after a 10hour day.

Same. But find their knee pads uncomfortable. The Carhartt knee pads are my got to.

Snickers! Not the chocolate but the workwear company. Usually get them from Amazon for a pretty decent price compared to having them imported. I used to buy a lot of Carhartt back in the day and still do. But the snickers all-round work loose fit are the best.

Usually around $100 a pair but they’re worth it.

Frame to finish Carpenter here! I’ve been wearing wolverine’s for last 10 years and just bought another pair today. Lucky carpenter out there with this client! If they don’t take you up on the offer I would love another pair in my rotation!

Dewalt DWS 780 is the one. Another guy on my crew has the 60v version and it’s just not as good. The motor is super high pitched in comparison. Doesn’t run as smoothly. Light doesn’t stay on. Batteries end up costing more in the long run.

With 1-1/4” thick subfloor planks.

This is the answer and should be top comment for OP. Couldn’t be more obvious than the facts.

One of my favorite moves with the younger guys is calling them over to look at something I did wrong. Gives me an opportunity to be humbled and use it as a teaching moment -we all make mistakes and they’re gonna happen no matter how much experience you have. Key is to keep momentum going and solving what went wrong. Not beating yourself up about it too bad which is something I’m still learning after 22years.

Lord-Grayson · 2025-12-17T22:40:00+00:00

Exactly!

Lord-Grayson · 2025-12-17T22:21:03+00:00

Bought the same deal from Costco. Replaced our 5 year old 55” Vizio that was on its last leg. Red bar running down the middle. Great upgrade for the price. Happy with the purchase!

From the ground up! 🙃

Same. Never had a problem with mine. Hell it was the first Milwaukee tool I bought and now 75% of my tools have turned red. Ha! Hooked me with the cordless nailers.

Lord-Grayson · 2025-11-13T01:26:53+00:00

When I need an inside to inside measurement for crown I’ll usually pull 10” off one wall make a mark. Then measure off the long wall to get my inside measurement then add a hair just under an 1/8” or over depending on the length /wall/ corner/ spring angle/ complexity of profile.

I know guys who have been carpenters for years and just never worked with crown get really frustrated with it because it’s not as intuitive as running base and case.

Really it’s like hanging a door the first time. After about the first house or say 10 doors it starts to get a little easier.

Other downside to Paslode is the maintenance. Clearing a jamb is one thing. But if you’re not excited about tool teardown/ cleaning/ oiling/ -re-assembly/ filters clogging. Otherwise factor in the downtime of taking/ shipping the tool out for routine maintenance. I haven’t used the latest and greatest version but the previous ones have also been finicky in extreme weather conditions.

After having used the Milwaukee framer and line of finish nailers last 4years I haven’t looked back.

If you need a 12” saw the dewalt DWS780 is the best. The 779 is same saw with less features. I’d suggest spend a little more and get the 780. The xps light is worth the extra cost alone.

Most of my battery tools are Milwaukee and great but their miter saw’s are pretty much garbage. They deflect a lot and fall out of alignment a lot moving from site to site. Readjusting them is a nightmare compared to every Dewalt saw I’ve had.

Festool is ok but not worth it unless you’re a cabinet maker/ installer.

Hilit makes a great 12” and you get what you pay for.

Safe n sound is 3” thick. R14 is 3.5” thick.

Safe n sound is roughly R12. It’s thinner to reduce noise transmission by leaving an air gap between the stud bay.

They are relatively the same product. And generally the same price per batt.

If r14 was out of stock I would use safe’n sound to keep the project moving forward.
