If anyone here wants to use Behr paint at Home Depot PM me. I have an account there which gets 20% off all behr products. It works at any location in the US but it could be verified at customer service before the paint is mixed. I am in no way endorsing them but use them and Lowes and Sherwin Williams. I have accounts at the other places as well but that discount is too hard to convey. The discount is immediate at the register with ProX rewards. You just enter my phone number. I get nothing for this discount. It is all to the purchaser. If this post violates any rules i apologize and i will delete it.
Another pointJared, you seem to know quite a bit about buildin'You should post over in the construction area Let me see, I may be going somewhere with this...Brain (old as it is) is startin' to do some conjurin'You could be a oracle of sorts. People could seek advice, after paying the proper homage, of course, then the oracle could speak, and the matter could be settled.Could call it:J SpeakesorJ's Advice placeorThe J listorBuilder J and the do-right corneror J the answer manorSomething like thatYou could tell numbskulls (DON comes to mind...as well as me) how to do things properlyAs this idea starts to focus I see a new moderator being born. But this one did not ask for the job. You see around here, anytime someone has an idea about a new discussion area (Just ask Tex-red-neck) he/she gets appointed a moderator...Just sayin' that this is new ground for me...someone who didn't suggest an idea gettin' corralled and all that...
823058 is the Lowes item number to a product similar to the moist stop i use. I got mine at McCoys but can not find it on their site. I would have to actually feel the Lowes product to see how similar it is but it will work for the framing under the windows to flash the sill before windows go in and hardi goes on. It will also work on hardi joints. I have seen everything used from tar paper to synthetic roof felt on to and including metal tin or aluminum flashing. I just like the black roll flashing. I do not use house wrap as a flashing. You could also use many of the sticky window tapes also but they get expensive and are overkill. I have never used or seen anyone use the sheers. I saw those and thought they were for the metal roof. If you like them let me know and i will give them a shot. I just use a diablo hardi saw blade. I try to never have a cut joint showing. I can get them perfectly square but if you look at the factory joint it has a very slight bevel. I hide all cuts under trim. On the nails yes you can nail every 16” or 32” revealed. Or any pattern you want. The hardi holds tight under all the trim and with proper nails hidden under the lap. But, i always reveal nail my joints and any irregularity that needs a nail to suck the siding down. Too many nails showing looks bad. It will sort of dimple the piece and will have a nail to caulk. The goal is a perfectly flat wall without any waves. I also use interior/exterior liquid nails. It holds tight to hardi and i use it on trim pieces that i would shatter with more than one nail. If it oozes out spread the ooze and paint it or caulk over it and paint. If you use a saw keep the guard blown off with air. The dust clogs its function and before you know it it no longer covers the blade and the saw takes off when you set it down. The saw is fast and allows me to cut a six piece stack at a time. It is however very dusty so wind to my back and cut. No wind and i am working on another area of the house as the dust is overwhelming at times.

Or over on the diesel forums watching the fighting and shaking my head. Just got done reading two other build threads here that were very interesting. This site has tons of good information and a great group of men.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

It will get a green paint job and I may camo the far side with some brown in addition to the greenQuote from: wyorunner on December 04, 2017, 04:32:00 PMHow much did it run ya tex? That size out here is 4K ish delivered 60 miles.I bought the CWOinstead of the WWT (cargo worthy, instead of just a wind and water tight) the CWO is more but its usually in better shape cosmetically and structurally. Delivered 140 miles from the Port of Houston was just under $4k. Bought it from a broker online, called Western Container Sales. Pretty smooth process.
Eat raw garlic if you can stomach it. Seems to have always killed any bug I might catch, as I never stay sick long. Equal parts ACV, lemon juice and raw honey with some hot water, helps heal a sore throats and fight the cold. Eucalyptus oil on the bridge your nose will help clear it....if you have any. Obviously keep it out of your eyes, the fumes are bad enough. But it helps tremendously!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
