  • Fast setting concrete after a couple inches of drainage rock gravel
  • First three panels done!

Fence Posts - What are your thoughts on using gravel, concrete, dirt or some combo to put in fence posts?

We've just finished installing our first three panels of our first phase of our fence project. We decided to put a couple inches of gravel in followed by fast setting concrete with our PT ...»
posts. I'm curious to know what others' thoughts are on which to use - gravel, concrete, dirt or some combo? Also, we tried renting an auger but it was a big fail - manual digging was easier - this happening to anyone else?

    the bottom of the post should set on either the ground or gravel, not encased in concrete. ...»
    When you cement the post, leave the bottom open so the post (and surrounding area) will drain. If you use pressure treated lumber, it will not rot for at least 25 years or until it dries out. We put up fences 20 years ago and they are still standing strong.

Painting: OK you guys must be sick of me by now. I'm headed to Florida in February...YEAH. My bestie bought a house in Tampa

It has a concrete covered front patio. We want to repaint it. This is a project I've never done. I'm researching it now but thought I'd throw it out to you guys! Thanks a million

    The only problem we have with painted concrete is that it is really slippery when it rains!

  • That drill/driver isn't big enough, I need more power! I don't think so Tim! These compact drill/drivers pack more of a punch than you might think.  Check out what this real user thought: http://bit.ly/wZF0LT 4
  • Everyone dreams of owning a giant cabinet saw, but not everyone has the room or the budget (or loves their fingers too much). Check out what this user thought about something a little more accommodating: http://bit.ly/ArMdNV 12
  • Running out of room in your shop?  This miter saw takes the space of a compound miter saw, yet still gets the cutting capacity of a sliding rail miter saw.  Check out what this contractor thought: http://bit.ly/wz8Wdh 6
  • Tackling any projects with multiple materials?  A twin blade circular saw is a great solution allowing you to cut without switching blades. Watch it in use: http://bit.ly/yOvtYw 1
  • Laser levels are handy tools that offer faster, more accurate solutions for a variety of tasks.  Green lasers offer a 400% brighter line for interior work. For more info check out: http://bit.ly/zp8ezo 1

  • Well house masquerading as an out-house.
  • Pressure treated 2x12's.
  • Blue print.

These chairs are so comfortable that we fight over them around the campfire.

(I need to make more but who has time??) They are weather resistant, portable, stack-able, comfortable, & cheap!

Matt and Kelly's deck

I started some work on a new deck project last week, This was the view today...My Office this week...The old deck is painted pine and this side is about 40 feet long and 8 feet wide. ...»
Here I have demoed about half and set about 1/3 of the new redwood. It is set over steel "C" beams which are set on "I" beams this is a fully cantilevered deck. The home owner are also going to have a retaining wall built as the soil below this has been waning away.

.

I'll get all of the deck set then start on the railings.

Gardening: I have 2 gardenia bushes by my front walk and they are getting so tall - too tall.

When is the best time of year to prune them?
