Bifolds are great but expensive.
I have clients freaking on the lack of a descent screen option on those due to the fact that were in San Diego (mosquito born disease).
Sliders are good.

Painted? Why not melamine and thermofoil? (15 minute job on the Busellato) ;-)

The black knife is bog oak and the stained one is a piece of maple salvaged from a wooden crutch handle I used 25 years ago after breaking my femur. I am thinking of trying to incorporate a magnet into the sheath for the black one. knife blanks from Finland, handle work by me.

After a lifetime of accumulating tools, and a house w/no basement, this 8x12 shed was a help but not the answer.
Torn down, new floor, and reframed.
Garage for resale appeal. Workshop for me.
With limited floor space stand alone machines were out of the question. Space efficiency and if possible redundancy were the bywords in planning. Bench top tools seemed the only possibility. Present in this photo though difficult to see each is mounted on a case containing full extension 100lb drawer slides w/locking pins and connected to a "central vac system.".
None of this anywhere near in the company of many of the posters to this thread but perhaps of some use to anyone thinking of a homeowner shop.

Sean's wife and friend were trying to build some shelves for a greenhouse. She didn't know to use a push stick. Pushing hard on edge, hand overcame friction.... Saw stop did its job. First cartridge thats popped in the life of the tool. Sean got it after he lost a thumb tip years ago.
We got back from skiing and she said, "I think I broke your tables saw...." It took a few minutes to get the full story out of her. I think there was some embarrassment. But it's better to have your fingers than to save face I guess.

Wow! The real deal. So glad for her. I'm a stickler for table saw etiquette. No joke. Glad it came out alright!!!

Need to re-roof the hacienda.
What brand do the learned builders here prefer?
High winds and some snow.
Location: Tehachapi, SoCal.
Many Thanks, Mark

Elk Prestique and Owens Corning Asphalt are both fine products with equivalent warranty options for dimensional or architectual shingles. I would check a color board for both products because their colors are slightly different. One level up are the presidential lifetime shingles. They are great looking and super durable with a lifetime warranty but are 20% to 30% more I believe.
My concern would be venting in a fire area.

F, glad the saw stop worked for your friend. I always keep 2 different push sticks on my table saw top. And I insist that anyone who wants to use my table saw use them or get out of the way! The worst offender is often the contractor himself.....so I banned him from using it.cheers
Not the one above by the way... Contractor that is . Nice looking house Contractor by the way.

Yeah, I wouldn't let anybody touch my table saw, either.
