Basement Floor Framing
We're planning to convert our poured concrete basement to living space. There is some moisture, though never to the level of having standing water. We'd like to turn the space into finished living space (eventually, walls are a seperate topic) I've finished a couple basements in the past with...- arcwick08

Termites?
We're looking at a house here in WNC and found a small termite shoot in one area of the basement ceiling, against the outer foundation wall during the inspection. No other signs that we could see.

Jet and Powermatic 10-15% off
For anybody unaware, Woodcraft is running 10% of all Powermatic and 15% off all Jet this weekend. I'm going to pull the trigger on a Jet 16-42 lathe! woohoo!

Dirty power, VFDs
I don't know about the rest of NC, but Western (Asheville area) seems to have some seriously dirty power. I've spoken to a couple local electricians who've described it as such. In personal experience, I've been through two midi-lathe VFD units as the result of whatever hokey power is pumped...- arcwick08
