I love the look of cedar shakes and shingles. Trouble is, I’ve seen too much to ever feel good about installing cedar on a roof. Durability is the reason why.

When it comes to cordless tools, battery performance is the biggest part of how well a drill, saw or impact driver works for you. Cordless power tools succeed or fail on their batteries, and that’s why I tested the loudest and most blatant cordless tool performance claim out there right now.

As we enter another heating season, I’m reminded that ultimately we’ll pay just about anything to keep warm in winter. And just because we’ve experienced a period of relatively stable energy prices, it doesn’t mean all is well. Far from it.

Flawless mitres are everything. You can get stain-grade trim and casework smooth and pretty, but if your mitres have gaps -– even little ones – everyone knows you’re a wannabe.
