    I have the 55 and the 75 currently, because they are a bit if a pain to transport. I saw the 16 footer going for 400$ on Craigslist and I wish I had bought it and cut it into more lengths I wanted. But if your breaking down sheets in normal manors those are good lenghts. I like the 75 a bit more for crosscutting ply them the 55 as I can get a wider angle range out of it.

    I bought a set for a Halloween costume years ago, I've used them more times for cleaning windows than celing work.

    Get a pair, build a set of tall horses, and and riser for your miter saw. Crown install made easy.
    Well, easier on my body than up and down ladders all day.

    Got the toilet back in, attached and touched up moldings, and created this mirror frame to update the look of the big ass mirror on the cheap. Took it down and it's now sprayed the same satin black as the vanity and will go back up today probably.

    @916carl - The toilet leaked when it was reinstalled, but not because of the wax ring! The tank was a little loose from the base, and I guess sitting in my hot garage during the Phoenix summer the gasket may have dried out a little bit also. Had to reposition the toilet 3 or 4 times to get a good seal on the tank, so that extra $6 on the fancy wax ring was worth every penny!

    So today , after a meeting on site with my roofer we decided to add crickets behind each skylight




    We finished the top layer of peel and stick




    And the glaziers came and installed the 13' lift and slide door so now we can do the siding on that end of the house

    Ok I have a question. I have purchased a house built in 91.. some updates etc.. there is a light switch by mantle that does nothing, what could it be? Both inspectors said possible fireplace etc but not sure no exposed wiring in fireplace I can see. It does have gas logs and is custom home. Any ideas??? How can I trace wiring etc?

    I think it's probably a non functioning blower. If I can get someone to change it to control logs that would be perfect. I'm in south so didn't realize vents in firebox lower were for this.

    Good call on those crickets.

    Seems like this was all rock and mud not too long ago.

    Half the decision was made by our inability to get a continuous 13' back pan bent up locally , everybody's breaks around here seem to top out at 10' , but this will also be better for needles and debris
