And I also have stuff in my van that I don’t use all the time but its that one time you’re far away on job and need it Can’t wait to see the bench videos. I have paulk bench to but don’t carry it all the time it takes up to much space. I’m thinking of making something smaller more compact my van is pack to the gill as it is
Hey there Phil! Thanks for commenting! I was pretty sure I was going to appreciate the back yard shed with I ordered it with the Amish craftsman but had no idea how useful it would be for the construction overflow. While I would love to have a shop/office/warehouse for all this material, I would just end up collecting everything and likely make it counter productive. Like the finite space of the trailer, I have to make priority decisions and what to keep and what to give away or to recycle/toss. Great save with your shed and the window! It is always cool to hear a story where it worked out well for a builder! As far as a smaller Paulk bench....if you want some inspiration, check out shooshinejohnny's YT channel and video -- ruclips.net/video/gkwuCH78nJU/видео.htmlsi=6CltBZKDE8ZBXOfa In the second half of the video he showcases a really thin paulk smart bench that I am very interested in building. This one too could be modified to be even smaller to fit in a packed to the gills van I would bet!
Hey Spence! Love the video on where you store your "extras" and "overages." I have a question for you. In your work flow, have you ever switched out old recess cans for LED equivalents? What would you recommend if you have? I have several of the old Juno recessed can lights in my kitchen that I would like to switch over to LED, but I am not sure what are the best to get. I know some of them even have adjustments for the Kelvins the fixture will produce to adjust the color of the light. I will have to replace the dimmer switch to an LED compatible dimmer switch too, but do you have any recommendations? If so, where do you get them? Thanks for any advice you can provide
Hi Russ! Thanks for checking out the video. As far as cans....I remodeled a townhouse in 2019 and I retrofitted 10 or more old cans with LED recess lights that screw into the existing socket inside the can. The LEDs can with trim kits and springs to hold them in place. It was pretty easy but inhad to make sure the trim kits were large enough to cover the rough hole around the cans. Some were pretty big. I got the lights at Lowes or Home Depot off the shelf. In the LED recess lts section, there is new construction and retro fit. I used the retrofit. I have no idea of the brand inused at the time but the box store had a lot of them! I had a good time with them and the client was happy. At the time, I didn't find ones that were temp adjustable but these days that is probably standard on most of these lights. I had just purchased all at 3000k I think to standardize the color across the home. I was able to buy 6 pks or 10pks at the time too to cut down costs. Installation was as easy as screwing in a light bulb after getting the old trim kits off. Hope this helps.
