So how does this make things impenetrable when you need a deck screw or nail to hold the decking down?
@TheEclecticHandyman
@TheEclecticHandyman День назад
@@drewbarton1100 Yes while true the screw/nail fastener will go through the tape it will surround it and still create a decent seal. The main pain points typically are the gaps between boards that heavily get worn from moisture and the elements, and with the tape the water doesn't sit on top and decay the board 🛠️

I have used miter saws for 20 years and have owned several and different brands ...my wife bought me this same saw for xmas and I just unboxed and used it yesterday August 16th 2024...I think it was a good saw but I have 2 gripes ...1st I do not like the shield guard being black..I like to see where my cut line and my blade is at all times...so I found myself awkwardly using my trigger hand thumb to lift the guard which is sketchy as hell and outright dangerous....2nd I didn't realize that the left fence was movable and already locked into place so when I went to do my 45 degree bevel I chopped right through it and thankfully it was aluminum and didn't send shards of steel blade or fence into my face or body...other than that it's a nice saw

Thanks for the video. Was real helpful. We got 2 different fans off Amazon that matched ours perfect. A little different setup with our fan housing and rubber boot/sleeve. It was a sliver of rubber for like sound deadening. Our's was a toploader. Took about 2 hours. We cleaned EVERYTHING while we were at it and back-and-forth tool fetching. I had to use a little plastic pry bar to help get that back section over the coils loose. It was pretty gummie. We were real careful not to bump anything back there too. Appreciate your help. I would not even know where to start without watching your video. :)

I just went ahead I got a little file and as soon as the Thin part started whitening on the file and touching the hole I just turned it a little to widen the hole so the line could fit. I can get a drill bit and make it a little wider but I wouldn't count on all the scrap plastic falling inside so definitely something around that why that could fit inside the hole and stretch the hole out just a little and it takes literally about a second to 2 seconds

You are correct, however as the door panels move in relationship to the shaft it's still a friction point that needs lubricated.

The 18-gallon Project Source totes you mention will not fit side by side on these shelves. They must have changed the dimensions of the totes because they're too tall and wide. They're 15.4 inches tall and there's only 14.5 inches between shelves. They're 16.9 inches wide, so two side-by-side are 33.8 inches, and you said there's only 33 inches across for totes.

So I just measured the bins I have and they are 14" tall, and 16" wide. The shelves are 14.5" tall and 33" wide, so 2 of these fit in snugly. I just checked my receipt and my 18 gallon totes were Item #831516 and listed as, "This item is no longer sold on Lowes.com." Hopefully you can find something similar that fits. 🛠️

@TheEclecticHandyman
@TheEclecticHandyman 26 дней назад
@@dodgers9302 The reason I didn't use a spacer is because this is pressure treated lumber that's still wet, and as it dries it will shrink up to 1/2" give or take. Wet boards should be laid up against each other and as they dry, the gap occurs naturally. If you're using kiln dried wood, then you'd want to use spacers. Thanks for watching! 🛠️
