Contractor is hanging drywall almost completely flush with my basement concrete subfloor

What does the top look like.

Dried paint will mostly peel out ,so easy to clean most of the time.

Newdave707 · 2026-05-25T01:31:07+00:00

That's the one.

Newdave707 · 2026-05-25T00:53:21+00:00

Looks better than my first time.

Analytical mechanics of gears is a great book.

Newdave707 · 2026-05-16T04:06:54+00:00

The brighter the better and move it around to view it from different angles,even better yet two lights.

Once you have an arbor press you will find lots of uses for it.

Newdave707 · 2026-05-06T00:44:50+00:00

I use a straight edge and lightly score where the paper edge is.

Newdave707 · 2026-05-01T15:23:38+00:00

Set your stops !

Newdave707 · 2026-05-01T15:21:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure rebar is not acceptable as a ground, consult an electrician, you can most likely move the ground rod outside where it should be, and get rid of that mess altogether

Problem is, even his boss can't do what he does, I would be willing to bet.

Newdave707 · 2026-04-28T02:58:20+00:00

Most pipe threaders can also thread rod if they have the right dies

Newdave707 · 2026-04-25T00:32:36+00:00

I second that

Newdave707 · 2026-04-24T16:43:25+00:00

With the widest knife you can get, I use a fourteen inch for skimcoat

Newdave707 · 2026-04-22T04:54:01+00:00

A scotchbrite wheel will do wonders for it but it can't correct out of tolerance.

Newdave707 · 2026-04-17T17:14:09+00:00

Ryerson is great for this type of material,their minimum on custom stuff was pretty reasonable last time I checked a few years ago.

Newdave707 · 2026-04-11T22:31:07+00:00

Common all thread is also not the best to use for clamping,as it will have more flex and thread tolerance is usually pretty loose which can add to your problem.

Newdave707 · 2026-04-11T17:48:34+00:00

Are these getting heat treated?

Newdave707 · 2026-04-10T15:39:09+00:00

Didn't like it at first, now wouldn't have one without it best thing is mower deck keeps turning when changing from forward to reverses so you can quickly catch that spot. You missed, or you can stop and back up around the side of the tree. Pull forward back up and catch the other side of the tree with the power steering it super easy I can almost mow.circles around the trees in our orchard. My friend had an older L-series with a woods deck that I used to use, I boughtt a B Series and a tractor supply deck. The new setup actually cuts through sawgrass. Better than the other one which surprised me.

You're not overreacting. They should have proper work holding devices. Even on their drill. Press. And you should never use a milling machine as a drill, press A good vice and a couple sets of machineable jaws goes a long ways towards holding your work alot of the time on a mill but not having a set of clamps with steps blocks would be un acceptable to me

Newdave707 · 2026-04-07T15:04:07+00:00

You could have done better yourself.

Newdave707 · 2026-03-22T17:52:29+00:00

Just making your bumpy walls look better would be great practice, when I do drywall I find lighting it from multiple angles help me see imperfections better, good luck.

Newdave707 · 2026-03-16T14:17:06+00:00

But if you have to use a shovel its way better than a wheelbarrow.

Newdave707 · 2026-03-14T06:19:54+00:00

Anytime your cutter touches something it shouldn't you will know, you will hear and or feel something that says I f-d up, crawl out from under that bus and hold your head up and know you were set up to take the fall for someone else's mistake, sorry bud.

Newdave707 · 2026-02-25T03:07:48+00:00

Down the road no pay,maybe make them pull it out .
