    Hidden screw systems for decks and wet PT lumber

    Every time I tried to dry PT wood it twist/warps like crazy. Never tried the KDAT stuff and did not even know about it till someone here in the past brought it up. Is the PT stuff at Lowes/HD just that bad or is it just hard to control the drying with the chemicals and wetness level they have?

    Hidden screw systems for decks and wet PT lumber

    Have you checked to see if there are yards near you that sell dried PT wood? I know HD/Lowes sells it wet but there are others that stock the dry stuff. Not sure of the cost differance.

    Need good source for Cell Phone Batteries.

    Either get a OEM one from a cell phone store or just buy the cheapest from eBay. Even the "name" brand ones at eBay and amazon, as you found out, are usually fake/junk.

    shop insulation

    You can use the baffles all the way up. Just start them at the top so if any leaks happen the water drains down and not into the insulation. After that then install the insulation as normal. I did this at my BiLs house. We also put some aluminum foil on first then the baffle but not sure how...

    Shaper vs Router Table

    For me a shaper offers more options, larger table, and usually the cutters can be sharpened. I have a 3hp Grizzly but no router table. I do have the bit so I can run router bits in it. I also have 3 routers for hand work. Biggest reason I got my shaper was a good router table was going to...
