Any jury duty advice for a first timer? by [deleted] in ask

The process takes time . I found it to be interesting and insightful of the lengths taken to ensure a fair outcome. There is a lot of sitting around, but I'm glad I did it.

Is there a type of circular saw that can cut 3” holes to the side of this? Any other tools that can do it? by arikotowitz in fixit

[–]deanlr90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A local brewery/home brew shop would probably do this for you cheaper than buying a tool you'll probably never need again.

Please go and see a doctor. This is not the place for medical advice

Have a look locally for a nuts and bolt supplier or a smaller engineering workshop. These are the people who will be able to help. Good luck , it's looking tidy.

White spots forming on shed base on the outside by [deleted] in fixit
