Re: Reinflate Tubeless Tires on the Job Site

a strong bungee cord works too.

Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

I've used at 20oz curved claw Estwing for the past 10 years with good results. It's a good all-around hammer that I can use for both framing and finish work. The titanium sounds terrific, but I think I'd have to take out special insurance on it if it ever needed replacing. I'd feel a lot more comfortable, though not happy, about replacing a $35 hammer vs. $200. I hope I win one since there's not much chance I'd be able to afford one. Good luck to all.

Re: floating countertop

Or even some chrome drain pipes would be nicer than the plastic.

Re: There's a Better Way: Large Drywall Patch

Sorry, but I'm kind of on the same page as MFournier. Maybe not to the extreme of using a hammer and nail to drive my point home, but I would like something a bit more advanced as well. BTW, did you notice how far from the joint the screws were driven into the drywall? They won't be covered with tape. Not a big deal, I guess.

Re: How to Install Blocking to Anchor Cabinets Solidly

I can kind of agree with the moisture barrier issue, but it doesn't look like there was any insulation in the wall to begin with in this case. I fasten cabinets to the studs, but I'm interested in the French cleat idea, esp. on a standard cabinet. How do you all who use it make it work on a cabinet that has 1/4" or so between the back panel and the rear of the cabinet?
