Small Projects, Big Impact
Believe it or not, sometimes it's the smaller projects that make the biggest difference! Take, for instance, the time we replaced a carport post. Though seemingly straightforward, this project required an ensemble of tools, from bottle jacks to oscillating saws, skill saws, hammer drills, and more. With our trailer almost empty and the tools surrounding the post, it was a sight to behold. It's not always about the size of the project, but the dedication and expertise brought to it!
Securing a Post to Concrete?
Here’s a quick guide:
- Drill a hole in your post using a wood bit.
- Locate your concrete hole through the post's hole and drill.
- Clean out the hole to ensure the epoxy sticks.
- Fill the hole with anchoring epoxy using a caulking gun.
- Insert your ready rod, wait for it to set, and then attach your washers and nuts.
- Voila! You've just secured a post like a pro.
