    Nah. It’d be along the wall and through the floor into the basement. A claw foot tub used to live in the space and any redo would already have to account for that. The plumbing already lives directly below where I’m putting the washer. All straight shots.

    I guess rationalization me is thinking putting it in the wall is a larger pain in the ass for no obvious benefit since nobody will ever see it. But fucking escutcheons, man….
    focus.

    It looks cool but it doesnt look sealed, are you going to seal it ?

    we don't have pennys up here they just round up or down to a nickel, so I still had a yogurt container full of pennys which I gave to a hippy friend, after flattening them with a freight train she makes earings

    Not my project and I wondered the same myself - how will it be sealed.

    If you follow the two links at the top of my post (1. FB page, 2. Website) you can find that particular project. I did not read it (yet). Just saw it in my FB feed.

    I did peek at FB page and there are many many really cool projects.

    They typically pour an epoxy over. I have friend who did one like it. She said she would never do again. Cool concept I have no patience for.

    And then when that epoxy yellows and gets all scratched up, you have an ugly mess.

Additional and primary rationale (rationalization) is that it’s an outside wall and I’ve had bad experiences with frozen supply lines to washers in this area.

    But the derision higher up in this thread about fucking escutcheons under the sink has me second guessing that.

    Thoughts?
    Just do it. Fuck the haters.

    But those escutcheons really tie the room together.

    A section of gutter pulled away from the house. It was attached on the inside through a spacer using 1 1/2" screws that pulled out from the house. Never had a problem before and it's not clogged and no trees above- wood feels solid to me but is probably 100 years old. There was some rain while I was away but nothing huge and older sections with nails are fine- this section was installed new a couple years ago. Easiest solution seems to be getting bigger screws and try to reattach- but I don't want to repeat a mistake I already paid for if there's a better way.

    anyone experienced with fast wall concentrate? It is made by El Rey. A stucco product that you can skip the scratch coat. I have a small job under 200sqft figured good place to learn.

    For occasional weekender type demo work, 2 by's with nails etc. are the 1 handed recip saws better all around tools? In as much they can do everything a 2 hander can do, just not as fast?

    IMO a traditional sawzall type recip saw is the first one to own. The one-hander is in the "nice to have" category. Plus, they haven't seemed to agree on the shape of the smaller saws, so some of them are pretty awkward.

    Agreed. The medium sized cordless ones do a good job. Blades are key. Sawzall is usually a tool of last resort. Even for demo, it feels hack. Personally, I like to cut the studs in the middle with a skilly them just pull the two halfs off the plate.

    Hmmm. That's what I'm familiar with as I used to borrow my neighbor's corded one, but he's moved. So now I'm looking to buy.

    I totally get the the butcher aspect of it but I've got about 6' of rotten rim joist I have to replace and it's a tight fit. It appears to be a doubled up 2x10 under an exterior door in a 1930's era house. My circular can't get under there or make the vertical cut.

    I like the Dewalt Flexvolt but only because that is what I'm committed to. I'm guessing they are all good enough.

    Yeah, I'm sorta sucked in to the whole Dewalt battery ecosystem as well. I fondled the Dewalt 1 handed and it seems pretty balanced with ok ergos. Oh decisions. Thanks for the input gents.

    Pawns shops are full of perfectly good sawzalls. Remember - listed price divided by half.

    I might have a dewalt sawzall style with no battery (and I don't remember the voltage) that's been sitting unused for about a decade. If I can find it, it's yours for the shipping cost.

    if you dont mind a cord check the lowes and home depot rental depts. They often sell off those type tools cheap. I have a rigid I got for like $30 been using it for a long time....

    We took a non weight bearing wall out at our old house. I pulled the trim off and all the electrical out and cut the seams in the drywall, with plans to finish demo after work the next day. My (now ex) wife took the initiative to finish it off her own self with the sawzall while I was at work. Cut the wall in half, similar idea to what you describe, but drywall still attached, and proceeded to pull the bottom two-thirds off first, narrowly escaping injury or worse when the top half fell down immediately afterwards.
    focus.

    My trusty old blue Ryobi Sawzall does all I've ever needed it to do. Fresh blades are key, and cheap enough..

    I am already committed to their batteries, so there's that.

    2 handed all the way.

    For dedicated demo I run Milwaukee super sawzall(corded). Otherwise I'm also team yellow and about to grab a new 60volt one as my smaller 20v snapped like a #instavanlifer.

    Also only run diablo blades on most things.
