tangy yet delightful posted:Debated between posting ITT and the fix it fast thread, how fast is fast you know? If there's no drip edge on that fascia (I see it on the barge rafter), add some so the water off the roof definitely makes it into the gutter and not onto the fascia. My fascia board was a 1x4 and I replaced it with KDAT. Not cheap, but its super nice being able to get it painted all 6 sides on the ground and just have to do some touch up off a ladder. With normal treated stuff you would need to wait a few weeks before painting. Definitely the first step is take the gutters off and do some further investigating/exploratory surgery though.

Stainless steel fasteners are better since the entire nail is corrosion resistant whereas galvanized just has a corrosion resistant coating , they just don’t make stainless gun nails … thats all. If you want you can use galvanized, any exterior finish nail of appropriate length will work

I'd replace the fascia board. If any of the rafter ends are weak, sister blocks into them, and run at least 3" SS screws dipped in Liquid Nails to fasten the new fascia board. Screwing into end grain is not ideal, but short of strapping or flanging at each apex (not a realistic solution) your best bet is to be sure it never gets wet. When I built my garage I used 3/4" plywood for fascia, and wrapped it in aluminum. I also boxed it in with a soffit, which doesn't appear to be ideal in your case.

1. Remove gutter and fascia 2. Inspect the situation, possibly rafters aren't bad per Kaiser, I think at least I'll need a new fascia board for the one that's cupped (this run is long enough there's probably 4 or more fascia boards up there). 3. Buy wood and fasteners. Oh and some gutter hangers. 3a. Look into KDAT availability and pricing. 3b. Oh also buy some exterior paint. 3c. Do I need stainless steel screws mr. painterofcrap? Currently I have Saber Drive 3" Deck Screws with XL1500 COATING, is an exterior rated coated screw fine or do I need to seek out stainless only? 3d. Did you just splooge out some liquidnails from a caulking tube and then dip away? 4. From my framing book this appears to be exposed eaves construction so yeah boxing it with a soffit setup would be both work plus maybe visually look weird??? 5. Scab, sister, wood things. Paint the PT wood after it's dry if I didn't get KDAT stuff. 6. Put the gutter back up before the rainy season, see if it needs some flashing (I guess if the shingles don't overhang enough into the gutter).

In the process of starting to finish refinishing my kitchen cabinet doors I hung pegboard in my workshop. I've had it laying around for over a year. I had to rearrange the workshop to vacuum it in prep for finishing the doors, so I pulled the pegboard out from behind the shelves. Once I did that I either had to install it or put it back. I painted it white, screwed some standoffs to the wall, and made my wife help me put it up. Victory! Of a sort. I'll probably start finishing the doors by thursday.

Maybe I just have lovely peg holders but they don’t really hold up much of anything .. so I put sheeting over it and screwed wire scraps to the plywood and fashioned hooks out of them. Works really well for me as they hold a surprising amount of weight and it’s infinitely customizable. Fashioning the hooks and getting everything sorted is surprisingly relaxing, too  Still a work in progress but finally I’m getting my tools in one easily accessible place and my workbench surfaces cleared

Most pegboard at big box stores is very thin. The proper stuff is online only. You want at least a full 1/4 inch thickness.

You can make the poo poo stuff work by putting plywood behind it with a poo poo-ton of stand offs. I mean at that point you might as well just order the real thing, but it's a reasonable fix if you're just talking a few square feet for an odd corner and you've got the crap sitting around to do it.

We make pretty decent use of the pegboard I put up in the basement, but there's always a 50/50 shot the hanger falls down when you take something off of it. Some things are worse than others, but it is enough of an annoyance to make something like what UKJeff or the Finnish priest guy has posted in the past look like a worthwhile project.

I’ve seen aluminum pegboard type stuff where each slot is rated to 75lbs or something but it’s not cheap .. honestly, the pegboard isn’t really inexpensive either. Unlike the plywood + wire which literally makes use of scrap material This has worked so well for me that even if I had the money I’m not sure I’d upgrade. Maybe if I had a professional shop where appearance mattered but for keeping my home tools off the workbench and organized, i cant ask For more, really.

I’ve only had issues with single hole hooks and for those I put the little strap over them that takes up 3 holes, then there’s no issues. Highly recommend getting wine drunk during a holiday and organizing it all while trying to avoid family.

It’s meant to be customizable, big difference. The idea is that you can set it up exactly like how you need it, not that you are rearranging your garage mis en place every month.

This is true, the screwdriver sixpack and the hammer hooks have never been an issue, it's always the little singles. Cyrano4747 posted:It’s meant to be customizable, big difference. Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's rational, and am planning to secure at least the individual hooks now after discussing it. Everything has been in the same spot for years (except when the hook falls on the floor) and it would be  to replace one of the boards if it was epoxied and we did want to rearrange, but a small voice in the back of my head that I need to practice ignoring immediately pipes up with, "but that would be permanent!"

Or just cut the hook off and abandon it, unless it blocks your use of a hole you need.

I have a, uh, let's say an "aversion" to permanence. My father in law helped me put of pegboard on a wall in my garage a few months ago, so I've got a 20 foot x 4 foot expanse of pegboard. We threw a bunch of stuff there initially just to get it up there, but I find myself moving stuff around some as I get a better sense for how I actually use the space (which is also always up in the air, because all my work surfaces are wheeled carts that move around). So I appreciate the lack of permanence. Maybe after like a year I might decide I'm happy with things where they are. But really those clips are just perfect for actually securing things. My Menards pegboard kits don't come with them, but the ones from Home Depot do, so you just have to be mindful where you're buying. Speaking of permanence, because of my ADHD I can easily forget what tool goes where, especially if I've pulled a few down or if it's been a while since I've taken it down. So I would like to eventually mark what tools go where so I don't forget. But that's permanent! So instead I'll agonize over some sturdy but removable marking system and then never do anything with it.

It would be much better to buy a 3d printer, figure out how to make it work and print them yourself. Just so you know exactly where they came from and can customize them as necessary. At least to go along with this theme. (I'm very guilty of this, just not in regards to pegboard)

I might have to knock some sanding dust off of a wrench if I reach for it on the board, but at least I have some loving idea where the thing is. edit: like, pliers next to random nails next to mystery meat pocket knives and random blobs of steel wool and probably a screwdriver or five. Just a disorganized mess of whatever I needed to get off my bench and swept into whatever random drawer was nearest.

Can someone talk to me about my dampers? I have three in the basement: 1 next to the basement furnace, and 2 more next to the basement staircase. I am trying to figure out what damper controls what floor and I'm very confused. I closed them one at a time and have only been able to figure out minimal information: - The 1st damper (closest to the staircase) seems to only control some side vents in the house, particularly the side vent on the bottom of the first floor hallway/staircase. - The 2nd damper (next to the 1st) seems to control nothing! - The 3rd damper (next to the furnace) seems to control only the vents in the second floor bedrooms. Is this possible? I thought that it was typically one damper for all vents on a floor when there's multiple dampers. The other thing is that the dampers are able to be turned 180 degrees, not the 90 degrees that I see in all videos and online instructions. It seems like both vertical positions are the closed positions and the horizontal position is open, as expected. Basically, it's pretty cool on the first floor, kind of warm on the second, and too warm on the third. I'm trying to cut off cooling on the first and shove it all into the second and third floors.
