Unrelated to converting one into a sex chair.....

The 18v one I got in the original rechargeable bundle I picked up back in around 1998 is the oldest rechargeable tool I have and still going like a workhorse. It's the only rechargeable tool I have left from the old muted teal color before they switched to neon green.

and the edge, just says hp edge on it
98dff788234864f9d02deadcefd79fa5.png

it's made w/ the flat batteries instead of stacking multiple 18650 batteries and has longer sustain.

so far i haven't seen a good sale on edge batteries and i honestly have a wall of batteries, so i'm good for now

Yeah so my neighbor is doing this to me

I need a solid revenge plan

It's freaking PVC pipe. You don't even need special tools, just a saw and some PVC cement. Get a 90 degree elbow, and then another, and a short length of pipe the correct diameter. Turn that pipe around on your side of the fence and aim it right back in their yard. Destroying anything on your side of the fence is not legal. Though discharging water onto your property like this also isn't legal. But just reroute the water to their side of the fence. Problem solved. If they take your solution down, mix some hydraulic cement and pour it in their pipe. Be sure to do it on a day when there's no rain so it has a chance to dry.

I have a brand new 16x32 gambrel tuff shed. It has 6 bottom air vents for intake and a ridge vent. It also uses LP SilverTech Radiant Barrier on all siding and roof.

It stays pretty cool in Florida summer but I want to cool it even more.. I’m wondering if I should look into exhaust fans on front and back like AIRLIFT T16, Shutter Exhaust Ventilation Fan 16", Temperature Humidity Controller or if I should consider an overhead fan…

Obviously these are different solutions - one addresses passive airflow and the other circulates air inside.

Would a combination of both ultimately be the best solution?

other than being left hand threaded, are arbor bolts special or can i just used something like this?

Pretty sure its just standard left handed thread bolt. I would not order chinesium pot metal for something spinning a 10" death blade though. If it were me I'd get usa made from McMaster Carr.

Any local hardware store should have them. ACE is a maybe but there is one here Turner Hardware · 11730 Hempstead Rd, Houston, TX 77092, United States
it is unfinished concrete floors, narrow tall as fuck aisles and far larger on the inside than it looks. Swear angels sing when you walk in. Find yourself a turners hardware and go there often.

Just get a mini split and be done with it.

You turning it into an Airbnb bro?

The fans are only going to do so much. A mini split is really a great option. Single condenser unit, 2 heads inside, cool when you need it, how when you need it. They are pricy, but totally worth it. You'll possibly need to run new cable out there to get the volts needed, but then you can put in a panel and it will all be awesome.

I told them to run a big enough cable to run a welder. So I think it should be good.

However the shed isn’t insulated and I wasn’t planning on it.. I went with Tuff Shed’s LP radiant barrier siding Stay Cool with Radiant Barrier Siding for Tuff Sheds

lurkingdirk lurkingdirk wouldn’t I need to insulate and drywall if I decided to do a mini split or would a mini split with no insulation be sufficient for just cooling the shed when I’m inside but not full time?

Also there’s no soffit vents on this thing. I have floor 6x 16”x8” floor vents which should be adequate for ridge vent and square footage but wondering if adding soffit vents would help?

I was doing research on adding an exhaust fan but apparently it’s best to not mix gable exhaust fans and ridge vents because it could end up sucking air through ridge vents and causing moisture retention issues.

Here’s a pic from one of the lofts.

Mini split would keep up with that space just fine even without insulation. Look on Amazon, you can get everything you need for well under $1,000. Then you can either rent the charging tools or pay someone to come out and charge the system for you. Wouldn't be expensive. With the way you have it set up without insulation you're not going to make it as cold as a meat locker, but it would 100% keep up with the humidity and keep the temperature comfortable. Same in the winter - I know you don't have terribly cold winters, but this would nicely take the edge off. Even better, if you decide to work out there, you can connect your system to wifi and turn it on a half hour before you go out.

Final point - mini splits are very efficient. Get a few fans or run the split. It won't be a lot of difference on the monthly cost.

Thanks! Will investigate it. Any recs on brands?
