I built this workbench about two years ago. It has three sheets of 3/4 MDF on top and four full extension drawers full of this and that. The workbench probably weights close to 250 pounds. I gave up long ago trying to move it. I saw this caster set advertised in the latest Rockler circular and thought I would give it a try.

Where I do inspections, I have the great joy of going into a lot of crawl spaces. People think I’m joking when I say that I “save the best for last” but I really do like the crawls. I have only been stuck six or seven times, but I have gotten out okay.
Some of the crawls are what I call “belly-crawlers”, where you never get onto your hands and knees.

Having a new house or buying a new property that we have always wanted to is nothing less than a dream. However while the position of your residence, the neighborhood, the area of the house, the décor of the rooms is all we pay attention to most of the times, there is one very important element of our house that needs special attention: the roof.
At first the design of the roof is all we think of, but while we are cozy inside the house, it is the roof that faces all the extremities of the nature, from the harsh sun rays, the heavy snow, and the endless amount of rain water. This makes the roof go weak over time.
