How do I drill a 2⅛ inch door knob hole over an existing 1½ inch hole? You can make yourself a similar jig with your new hole saw, some scrap wood and a couple of clamps... |

What are the most important things to check/do after buying a home? If your main water shutoff is below grade or otherwise awkward to reach you can get a tool that will let you operate the valve from a distance. |

Does this 2x4 support my gable ridge? I am accepting this answer because it matches my final conclusion: After studying all of the other roof structure and the wall underneath I concluded that it was meant to be temporary, the wall underneath is not designed to carry the load (so beefing up this post goes beyond one post: compression of the wall plate had opened up a large crack in the drywall that existed since we moved in) and finally after removing it determined that the ridge did not move using a story pole I cut before removing the post. |

Would running a band saw or cnc machine in my basement be safe? You can make a very effective air filtration system with a 20x20" box fan with a couple layers of 20x20 furnace filters bungeed to the back. With that setup running I can do lots of MDF cutting (with DC on the table saw) with no dust buildup in the air. Without that fan every surface in the garage is coated with MDF dust. |

Does this 2x4 support my gable ridge? "at hip or valley timber" -- in the first picture the gable end goes to the left. The valley rafter is prominent on the left side and the other is hidden by the post. The tall red board is the ridge of the gable. In the reverse picture the valley rafter has the vertical pencil line. It is partially covered by a jack rafter that goes to the main roof. |
