Q: How long does it take to cut up a hot tub?

• <div><p>Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut plexiglass by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.). </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a welder and a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>Welding is the process of using extreme heat&mdash;and, sometimes, pressure&mdash;to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to cut plexiglass?

• <div><p>This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you&rsquo;re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. </p><p>The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. </p></div>

Q: Can you cut a shipping container apart?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around &frac34; inch thick, so it&rsquo;s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.</p></div>

"Creig was extremely professional and responsive. He got everything done on the list (which grew by a couple of items during his first visit to the home to provide an estimate). Due to the urgency of getting the home ready for professional photos and listed for sale, Creig agreed to perform the work on a Saturday, even though he already had one job scheduled that day. He stayed until 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, in order to get the work done. I will definitely call him again for any home repairs!
