I use a 3/4 inch and it definitely improves the overall look and adds strength to the screws

You heard the man. He couldn’t sleep.

Opinions are like what? Some people just like to argue and create drama. A 1” blade is sufficient for filling gaps. Like I said there is no reason to hurry. I’ve watched “pros” tape right over the gaps with banjo’s and not fill anything. Faster is never better maybe more profitable. Thanks for sharing. 😂

Lol, I measured my small blade. It's actually 1.5" lol next 3" for tape then 6" for butts and edges second pass on tape finish with 1'

Not sure which you're talking about. Vertical or horizontal. Either way they are in spec.

Ya what ever. This house was built in 1914

The top local contractor remodeled this house. Glossen Construction. They have local boys working for them. They are just thieves.

Thanks

Thank you, I will

Thanks

Unfortunately stucco waterproofs nothing. The foundation is 113 yrs old poured by farmers. It's crumbling. The new footer will add strength and support. Also I can tie the house down with L bolts and angle iron. It's just sitting on the old footers with nothing holding it down. The wood will be coated and sealed then covered with stucco. Also the dirt level will remain below the wood. Somewhere in history the backfill was placed a foot above the sill plate. This was all a surprise. If I could afford to I would tear this house down and build a new one. Maybe I should start a go fund me. Lol

@@Homesteadvideochannel-sl2vm You're correct that stucco doesn't water proof anything. Maybe consider ordering some z flashing to size and just stucco the front of the new rim.

COrrect the predator will not run any of my 110v welders

Thanks

sorry about the delay here is the one I use. amzn.to/4bcaFzE

right, I need to come up with some camera or phone mounts so I can make some more in depth videos. Im a newbee with very little video experience. Ill learn as I go. :)

I can lift it onto my trailer. It was 202lbs shipping weight. UNboxed Im guessing 190lbs give or take. Its a great little welder for the price.

It's very decent for the price.

Thanks!

yes Gasoline is more HP output for sure. I like to run proane or alcohol for a few reasons. Havent tried wood gas yet. In the future. Running propane set at 60 amps I can run 3/32 7018 real nice. Low duty cycle. Not a bad machine for $500. Im testing it some more tomorrow. Se what the generator puts out.

Thank you! I did download the manual. It welds and puts out sufficient power for sure. The only issue is loud as heck. I'm going to upgrade the muffler. Although I've never used a real quiet portable. Long leads are a good idea. 🌄👁️🙏

Thanks. Ill be heading back to the homestead when this tralier is mostly done. That is where the real fun is. Everything except expanded metal for the deck. Ill shop around for some salvage. Im afraid the cough will be around for the remainder. I have COPD mostly because I commuted on a bicycle along busy roads for 20 years, and never wore a respirator performing such tasks as welding grinding etc when I was a young working man. Big mistake. My best advice to a crafstman. Wear a respirator. My cough is chronic bronchitis. How ever my lungs have improved in the last nine years. I was also a smoker a few times in my life totaling 25 years. Honestly Im grateful every morning when I wake up.

I can Identify. I know I learn and I improvise. Thanks for the comment!

The homestead is in Weston Colorado in the hills surrounded by the spanish peaks and sangre de cristos. It is about 8640 in elevation.

You got that right. I did break a few with my 4lb fittin hammer. lol Although it was a great deal and a fun project.

My channel here is all new to me. Took me a while but figured out how to edit the description. I was a little excited about the welder. Got the whole rig for $600 I was thinking that's a good deal.

Thanks I don't know how yet
