I like the look of the shear attachment, how well did it work?

Question: Seems light to me, can you pound on the handle end to use like a chisel? Strong enough? Remember who it is you're talking with...Carrep...
who really knows, Shawn. I have 2 girls, 12 and 14. I may never see retirement. My hope is 10-12 years, but retirement for me would just mean doing something different. Small business or something until they kick dirt on me. I can't stand not to be doing something.
Dave, I think framers and mechanics have similar brains. :embarrassedSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
That is what spelling phonetically will get you. Fonetikaly? If you still do not get it read it out loud to your wife. Thats what i did lol.
OK guys, serious moment, you knuckleheads... (I'm starting to sound like Don.....:-0 )So I successfully negotiated my being robbed by a pool contractor....which means that I will also be pouring a slab for an outdoor kitchen..(gotta up my game to keep up with Nate)Its going to be 14x24 with a roof structure over it. I'd like to use the same wax treated 4x6 posts to match the porch on the main house and the castia. My concern is how to attach the posts to the slab so that the roof is stable. I'm convinced that surface mounting the posts will lead to a rickety structure. there will be 6 posts. While I could use 45 degree braces on each side of each post at the top it would clash as none of the other structures have that on the posts.Is there a way to attach posts to concrete in a more solid fashion?Or should I sink the posts in the ground prior to the pour?The structure will be typical shed type roof with hardie soffit, metal roof, etc, so there will be some mass to it.Looking for some advice and experience. ........Where's Jared?
My experience with pole building types in northern WI. Sink them about 4 ft in the ground. Back fill with dirt only. The 4 ft level here is an approximate. That is about how deep the frost goes in most places.
