Ordered a DeWalt belt clip that will supposedly fit my 18v XRP Impact driver.

It’s fucking inconvenient being on a ladder and not having a place to put your drill.

Have you tried your gigantic asshole?

It’s just not convenient to take power tools in and out of my butthole.

I need help.

You available?

My 6' ladder has a hole in the top for that very thing. It also has holes for screwdrivers.

I don't come with a belt clip.

Has anyone purchased a shed kit from Home Depot/Lowe's? I'm looking for something for my motorcycle. I've been looking at this 10x12 shed. Not sure if I should go for the 10x16 one instead.. Those things look massive though.

My 6' step does.

My 21' bendy multi ladder thing doesn't.

That explains a lot.

ahh.. then I suggest the butthole option. Dewalt makes a cordless grease gun for lubrication on the go.

I bought the EXTRA LARGE butthole gun.

I've been in them on site before, they seem fine, except the floor. The kit always has them on un-treated timber skids directly on the ground.

I'd pour a concrete pad 11 times out of 10 for putting a shed up.

Check your local planning authority for sheds that big. At least here, anything > 100sf requires a permit.

That one says it comes with a "complete floor system".

I thought about the concrete pad. It's not something I want to do because if I want to move or remove it, then the demo of the concrete would be insane. I was thinking of using concrete deck blocks with pressure treated wood.

@Ex' ange you have an Amish shed shops near you? Those are supposedly better and cheaper, and they do the work for you.

Cool. Then the only change I'd do is making sure the floor is 16" OC joists rather than the 24" that's the default with those kits.

yeah, that "complete floor system" is always skids for sitting on dirt.

Nah. I live in Atlanta.

Would painting the floor be a bad idea for moisture?

 

[Jehannum]

woo, payin' a dude to clean my windows today.

IDK, I live in New Mexico, so I'm not used to being moist.

I'd probably put some epoxy down on the inside if you're keeping a motorbike in there.
