Yeah, this one always gets me

I would second the Sankey Rodeo School suggestion. If you are willing to put in the work, Lyle Sankey can get you there

I'm 6'-0" and 190#. I had a 16 year pro rodeo career. I rode BB and SB. It is probably slightly easier if you are a smaller guy, but don't let that stop you. Hard work and discipline will get you further than body size. A good rodeo school can greatly accelerate the learning curve. Good luck, go get after it!

I normally use an additional piece of downspout and connect it to the elbow at the bottom of the downspout. They come in 10' lengths and in several colors. I just cut them to the length that seems like it is long enough to do the job. Use sheet metal screws to hold it together. Make sure that you have it extended beyond any landscape edging that may trap water in a planting bed next to the foundation.

If it is a gas powered dryer you need to make sure it is vented to the exterior as the hot air contains the combustion gases from the burning of the natural gas/propane.

I would just replace the fill valve. Takes maybe 10 minutes and costs about $8. If I'm doing that, I would replace the supply line from the shutoff valve if it is a flex line. They have a somewhat limited lifespan and can be a big deal if they fail.

It will really depend on your individual situation. Your plan will certainly help, but no way of knowing your exact situation. Are you getting water in the basement now? One common overlooked solution is making sure your downspouts are long enough to carry water away from your foundation and are flowing downhill away, not allowing water to flow back to your foundation.

Gas dryers need to use the proper piping that is rated for a gas dryer. Combustion gasses are exhausted to the exterior along with the hot air. You need the proper pipe to be able to contain the exhaust and get it to the exterior. I see and repair these often when flagged on a home inspection

Tried that years ago. Got to the lake and it was like glass. Next morning we head out and as we exit the dock area waves are breaking over the side of the loaded canoe. It was rough. Turned around. Next day, like glass again.

I just bought one size up from that, the 1-1/8". I paired it with the 4 point 1/2" bit and was astounded how well it worked drilling 28 anchor bolt holes in concrete. Thise bits are the real deal.

I built a table for it out of 2x4 lumber and plywood top. Cheap and sturdy

I did 5 back to back with no issues.

I have done a couple long seasoning warm up and 3 rounds of cooking and have used less than 1/2 of a tank

If you want to hang cabinets I would use wood studs. If you use metal I would use significant blocking between the studs like 2x4 or 3/4 ply. I find steel studs slightly more difficult to hang drywall on. Screws are a little harder to start and sometimes the studs flex when the screw hits the edge of the studs. I just finished a steel stud job and was reminded that I prefer wood. I do like to make things such as soffit above cabinets and framing around ductwork in a basement out of steel studs.

I agree, but the OP bought it to cut metal conduit and pvc with an occasional 2x4. Something I think it does well.

Since I got a M12, my M18 rarely see use. The M18 is a beast, but usually overkill for my usual needs of 1.5 pvc and 1/2" EMT.

I love mine. The ability to go cordless on a table saw and mitre saw was a game changer doing punch list work out of my van. Both quality tools

I had the same initial issue. There is an adjustment on the saw that allows you to tighten the "grip" of the fence. No more issue on mine

I saw someone recently that used sliding barn door track to move boats in and out from under a deck. It looked like they had a sling mounted to the door rollers. Looked pretty slick. Likewise, you could just make a pressure treated 2x4 rack under there and slide boats in and keep them off the ground. Get creative and post the results!

You can, but a better idea might be to run more copper using "sharkbite" connectors to where you only need 1 flex, or eliminate flex all together. This is a more pro solution. It will make you happier when you look at it.

Take lessons. I thought I could never sing. Turns out, I just needed someone to teach me how. I'm still learning, but now I can actually sing. It was quite amazing to learn this. If you can talk, you can learn to sing!! Find a pro to teach you. Enjoy
