Hi Guys,

Happy Memorial Day weekend. We hope you spend some time remembering the heroes that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom and wonderful Country. We are truly blessed to live in a free and open Country that allows all of us to chase our dreams.

Memorial Day weekend is also a time to get a few projects done around the house while enjoying friends and family. This week we're sharing some products and projects that might be on our honey do list.

In the coming weeks we'll also be publishing the results from our latest head to head tool test. Last weekend we got the TBB crew together and tested 10 full size impact drivers. We tested them using 3" deck screws, 3/8" lag bolts, 5" TimberLok's and some static torque tests. We think these tests and the results will surely help you make a great choice when buying your next impact driver.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend. In just a couple weeks we'll be traveling out to Milwaukee to visit our friends at Milwaukee Tool for their 2017 Media Event. Those of you that love tools want to stay tuned as we'll have live updates from the event on Wed June 7th.

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Installing a Cupola

Here in New England cupolas have a long history of use on older homes. In recent years we've been installing more of them on new homes to add just a taste of the past and some added aesthetic appeal.

The great thing is installing a cupola isn't that difficult even for an existing home. The biggest challenge is safe access to the roof area. In most cases, cupolas can be purchased pre-assembled in a wide range of styles and sizes. For added style, a weather vane or spire can be added like the one shown above.

If you're looking for a great way to added some architectural flair to your home then read on to learn more about cupolas.

DAP DynaGrip Adhesive

Adhesives, glues, staples and screws… we hate to admit it, but we need them. Gone are the days of banging a few nails into something and calling it a day. The use of adhesives on job sites is becoming more popular in job site best practices and even code required in some circumstances like anchoring systems.

Adhesives offers many advantages over binding techniques including the ability to bind different materials together. Adhesives also distribute stress more efficiently across a joint, they’re cost effective and easily applied. Check out this new produce from DAP!

Installing A Pet Door

In a perfect world my two Labrador pups would let themselves in and out of the house as needed – and make their own dinner!
