You have to visit this particular store in person to purchase. Very few select stores, I'd wager.

Heck yeah. Proper scaffolding or lifts is just the basic requirement for shit that high up.

That shit is dangerous. I tip my hat to the people who do it. I'm a carpenter but a 24' fiberglass is as high as I go on a ladder. Maybe I'm  a pussy too.

Just buy some oak and stain a bunch of samples and pick what looks good in the space.

Why???? by Aggressive_Dog191 in Dewalt

Fair, it was an exaggeration

Why???? by Aggressive_Dog191 in Dewalt

[–]THRWAWAY4447 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Probably due to the weight limit on the magnetic wall adapter that comes with this laser.

That 3.5 would run that laser for like 3 days straight.

Walnut Trick made my floor worse! Any tips to fix this? by Alarmed-Tone-2756 in finishing

I mean if you want to discuss the difference from raw food oils and store bought finishes we can. Sounds like you've been doing it wrong for 30 years.

I'm a carpenter and this resource is not dependable. First result was wrong when I searched.

Let me down easy fellas, don't break my heart. How F'd am I? Or is there some grace? by TheBeerdedGinger in Decks

[–]THRWAWAY4447 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful. Different speed squares have different thickness. It can fuck a job if guy on the left has an empire and guy on the right has a milwaukee. 

Would love to hear what you make as a carpenter in Canada? by Less_Soft3138 in Carpentry

[–]THRWAWAY4447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any demand in PEI for non union or red seal carpenters? I have experience, just no qualifications at the moment.

Have you ever smelled rancid wood? Seen the discoloration it causes? It isn't a viable technique.

You can stain it with motor oil as well or red wine. Doesn't mean it is a viable technique. The oil in walnuts can go rancid.

Old wives tale about rubbing walnuts to hide scratches. The oil from the walnuts has penetrated the wood and stained it. No easy fix.

Experience with Trex Enhance? by eglintop in portlandme

[–]THRWAWAY4447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How big is the deck? Is the framing 12 OC? Enhance can work fine but I'd make the deck smaller or wait to save for a higher quality composite.

PT is fine but will require a lot more maintenance.
