    SufficientSelf Software Upgrade - Potential Downtime

    Hey All! It's time for us to finally upgrade our forum software to the newest version. The new version comes with some new features, better performance, more security, etc! We're hoping downtime will be VERY limited... hopefully not more than an hour or two. That said, it's hard to know...

    Remembering Sumi

    4/21/2020, A VERY sad update: We're very sorry to say that our beautiful friend and amazing soul Sumi passed away 3 pm Irish time. It was peaceful and pain free. As some of you may know, our beloved moderator Sumi went missing a few weeks ago. About a dozen of us were frantically working to...

    Any Experience: Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Re-Piped?

    Well, the $5,500 guy lowered his bid because: 1) We live on a private unpaved road, so his costs to repair the road went down 2) He was between projects and if I could get him in next week he'd do it for cheaper. Due to this, he offered to do it for $4,500. My brother had a good point that...

    Any Experience: Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Re-Piped?

    The lowest bid I've received is $5,500. The most recent company did a camera / video of the line and said it actually doesn't look terrible except for the root entry at various points in the terracotta line. I'm very tempted to just pay to have the line rooted / snaked each year (regardless of...

    Any Experience: Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Re-Piped?

    Good points. I'm going to get a few different bids. Hopefully I can find something a little less expensive than $8,600!!

    Any Experience: Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Re-Piped?

    Ugh, I got lazy and paid the price (which was $70) :( I kept putting off doing more treatments. I kept thinking "oh, I'll do it when the roots are growing during the Spring" or "I'll do it after the roots have grown"... etc. So, the roots grew and the line backed up yesterday. I had to call out...

    New Table Saw - Built A Crosscut Sled

    It's AMAZING how much easier it is to use this than the little "Table Saw Miter Gauge" that came with my saw. I can get much better precision and have much greater control. It also feels SO much safer than the flimsy miter gauge. Now... I'm wondering if I should just sell my miter saw? :D

    New Table Saw - Built A Crosscut Sled

    I even did a test of using it for making "dado" cuts and this monstrosity was the result:

    Built my own crosscut sled for my table saw

    A few months ago I sold my dad's huge metal Delta table saw for $500, then went to Home Depot and got a tiny portable table saw for $200 (with rack and wheels)! I've been looking at a bunch of fun projects and one that caught my eye was a "crosscut sled". I didn't really want to build a big...
