Re: Framing Tips - How to Straighten a Wall

Very informative...Thanks J

Re: Hidden rain gutters and down spouts

Well done. Very novel idea that is also functional and pleasing to look at.

Re: UPDATE: Winners Chosen in our 'Toward a Zero Energy Home' Book Givaway

Something that pays for itself is a welcome addition to my library.

Re: Zero-Energy Homes Start With Air-sealing, Insulation, and Weatherproofing

I am finally on board for "green energy" after listening to the pros and cons arguments for years. Having the project pay you instead of the other way around is certainly the way to go. The novel idea is way beyond what I could have hoped for. Sign me up.

Re: Tablesaw Safety, Liability, and Common Sense on the Jobsite

It is said "you can't fix stupid" and I think it is true. However in this case, the jury that awarded the individual any settlement falls into that same category. I empathize with Mr. Carlos Osorio going through his pain and suffering but he gave up any right to sue as far as I am concerned when he removed the safety guards before beginning his work. Even if it had been removed by another, he should have insisted that it be reinstalled for his own safety. My prayers go out to Mr Osorio that he is ok today. Perhaps it was a tough way to learn that safety equipment is in place for a reason.
