Shed roofs are easier and cheaper to build but usually fail much sooner and have more ice problems.

The most expensive rooms in the house.....kitchen and bathroom.

Re: Torque Wrenches

I have tried to find a torque wrench that would cover the range we use on our Kohlers but have not found anything as of yet.

Re: Trailers

Todd,I have a single axle 6-1/2 x 12 and it has served me well.It is constructed of angle iron and does flex some but I have had 4 Cubs on it and it hauled it just fine.My next trailer would be a 6-1/2 x 14 dual axle and would be tube or channel frame contruction.
