Hey Guys,
Promoting the trades is something near and dear to us. We love teaching younger generations how rewarding a career in the trades can be. This week we're heading to the EMNARI Youth Remodeling Career Day. Roughly 500 students from local vocational trade programs will be there and we'll be showing them what's new
in tools. A bit thank you goes out to Dewalt and Milwaukee for donating the tools pictured above. After the event we donate the tools to a local trade school.
Snow and the temperature has been falling so I've had winter on the brain this week. That's what drove this week's selection of articles. The first two are about getting your house ready for winter and lowering your heating and cooling costs. Then we have a great article that breaks down the differences between
three tab and architectural shingles. Then at the end we have a couple Dewalt tool articles and some YouTube videos.
We had our first measurable snowfall of the season this week in MN. It wasn't much, just a few inches up in the northern part of the state. It was enough though to remind me to start going through the checklist to make sure the house is ready to go when winter does finally arrive.
Air leak sealing and insulating the “envelope” of your home is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort. You can save up to 10-20% of your heating and cooling costs. Attic insulation and air leaks are usually the biggest offender for heat loss in a home. Fall is the perfect time to get up there to tackle this job because the temps in
the attic can be very mild. Click the link below to learn how else to lower your heating and cooling costs.
Three Tab VS Architectural Shingles - What's The Difference?
Just looking at the image above, anyone can see the difference in appearance between the two but what about performance? In this article we'll explain the rest of the differences between the two so that you can decide which is better for your situation.
DEWALT's brand new 41-inch steel tool mobile workbench is made in the USA and is made to stand up to every day tough use. Designed as a heavy-duty workstation, this rolling chest is similar to what most folks call a “mechanics tool chest,” and will no doubt help you keep your workshop or garage space clutter free. We break it down for you in our full review linked below.
Job site lighting has exploded in the last five years. Everything is going LED and cordless. Dewalt's newest offering checks both those boxes. With an impressive 3000 lumen output, the Dewalt cordless tripod light is sure to impress. It's also able to get 11 hrs of runtime out of its included 6 ah battery on the lowest setting of 1000 lumens. Click
the link below to see how this tool can help light up your job site.
