    Wasn't much of an explanation. Plus you left out pocket hole screws.

      +Frank Thornal since pocket hole is kinda its own thing we covered it here: bit.ly/1R1axFj.

    Flat head/bolt. I'm so tired of stripped screws. I still have one that I just can't get out. Why can't people just learn when to stop turning.

      Looks like a suggestion for a stripped screw removal video. Like this one ua-cam.com/video/lI2hl3Zfi6Q/v-deo.html

    The rubber band did the trick. I had a stripped screw in a recessed hole for attaching a stand to my tv, and the rubber band tip worked perfectly for removing the screw!

    about to build a building (portable style in case I move) any thoughts on siding,and should I use pressure treated lumber?

    • @lowes
      @lowes  8 років тому

      Are you talking about some kind of storage shed, +Chris Burnette? You could use any kind of house siding, although you may want to consider matching it to the home it's placed near. The frame itself wouldn't necessarily need to be pressure treated, as long as it's not exposed to the elements directly. The building materials specialist at your local Lowe's would be a great resource to talk through your project with!

      @lowes  7 років тому

      Thanks for the suggestion. While we're working on it here's a step-by-step floating shelf project that will get you started: low.es/2nnYB6i. And here's a tip: be sure to get mounting hardware designed for your wall type.
