If they're going to be 'really high up', no one will notice the fasteners if you color match them. I would get some Spax #10 x 3" screws for 'multi-material' from Home Depot, paint the heads to match something near the four corners of the boards, and install with one screw per corner. Bring a...

I use this little booger. Works really well on concrete.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Many corded and gas tools are going to soon be a thing of the past. Many cordless tools are on par with or outperforming their corded counterparts. Battery technology has grown in leaps and bounds. I can drill over one hundred 1/4" x 1½" holes on a...

Definitely a great tool. If I were him, and this wasn't the kind of work he has to do often, I would say get the Ryobi 18v SDS rotary hammer. It would give him the freedom of cordless and he could have the tool and battery for under $200. No extension cords or generators to mess with.

lol, thanks and sorry GAC05 Here's a quick video of the DeWalt in action. Top layer had leaves and stuff but the ground was actually pretty hard. This is holding the tool with one hand and just supporting it - no pressure applied:

Rebar was in the subject as soon as he mentioned 'concrete wall' - it's nothing I introduced. I posted my toys because visual800 posted what he has and he clearly has purchased some of the best concrete tools there are...figured he'd appreciate the post. Maybe I should have tagged him on it. I...

Well, I think I have a pretty good idea, because he said he's drilling into a concrete wall, in which case he's not going to hurt anything putting in Tapcons for an ACM panel. Pretty sure his little 5/32" bit isn't going to structurally compromise anything. You said: "If you drill into the...

He's not going to compromise the structural integrity of the concrete lol. That's the whole reason there are rebar cutters and bits on the market that are designed to cut through rebar. Now if it were post-tension cable, that's an entirely different matter...

My little arsenal... Milwaukee M12 SDS Plus rotary hammer - great for smaller 'delicate' jobs (faux stone, etc.): Bosch Bulldog GBH18V-26K SDS plus rotary hammer: For the big tasks, core drilling, demo, digging, DeWalt DCH481 Flexvolt SDS Max:

Bosch Bulldog Xtreme bits are specifically meant for cutting through rebar. They're great bits and are available at Home Depot. This assumes you have an SDS rotary hammer but I'm guessing you don't, or you wouldn't be posting. Since you're just installing a 3x8 piece of ACM, you could get by...

I'm not a seasoned signage salesman. Not even close to it. At the sign company I previously worked at, I spent a few years in sign ordinance research & compilation, a few years surveying and installing, and a few years spent in estimating. About ten years total. None of those remotely...

Thanks guys. I'm definitely lacking in this area (obviously). Things that are second nature to many here are things I've never had any real need and/or time to familiarize myself with. Probably 98% of what I do is installations. The remainder is sales. Of that 2%, it's rare I need to ID a font...

Replacing the 'ERVIC' letters...maybe 'APPOINTMENT LANE' as well. Any help is appreciated.

Pricey, but an option: DeWalt Step Ladder

10-4 to all of the above. My hopes were someone had a method via software, etc. I believe Nix has a way of doing it but WHEN THE THING NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE - it doesn't make much of a difference. Anyway, thanks for the responses, colors have been picked and the job is in...

Thank you for the responses.

What JimmyG said...you should be able to screw directly into the sheathing behind the foam. In the event there's no sheathing, the toggle bolts Modern Ink mentioned would be my next choice.

I would agree - hire it out. It can easily be done with one truck.

Resurrecting this thread in hopes of getting help. I have two Sherwin Williams colors that I need PMS colors for: Neutral Ground SW7568 Black Magic SW6991 Is there a way to convert these? Nix Color Sensor maybe? Mine doesn't work so no dice on my end...

Thanks, guys. strypguy tikiboyz Customer apparently found it and is saying it's Bauhaus 93. Looks identical to Blippo from my untrained eye.
