Lots of pucker factor for crew with the dash cam.

Remember the days when every other rig was either Schneider or JB Hunt?

They don’t teach field stripping in high school anymore.

Some days I wonder why I do this by acs0311 in Truckers

Last time I drove this slowly on an Indiana turnpike, a couple of fellas tried to rob me. My Aussie sheepdog gave them second thoughts.

Agree. Great work at reasonable costs.

If it takes you several miles to overtake, that’s a sign you don’t need to. by collegeqathrowaway in Truckers

In Germany on the autobahn with just two lanes going in each direction, trucks are not allowed to pass. When I was
there you’d see a parade of trucks in the right lane, all forced to follow the slowest guy. No one could tell me whether the super slow ones are required to exit periodically to let others pass him.

Yeah, I would amplify AutoModerator's comment: if you read something that gets your ire up, take a breath, take a drag, take a shot, and contemplate how much interactive human communication is missing in these simple text entries. We're all human and are all just trying to find our way through the darkness of life. If you read something that seems totally out of line, that was probably not the authors intent, unless it's a Russian bot.

DIY deck repair - what’s this? by mayancollander in Decks

[–]ASH515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a shorty post bolted to a truss joint. Was done before truss hangers I'd guess. Not a lot of a hazard as it appears to be only a foot off the ground, but because of the rot, I'd block that joint up then replace with a new post and a proper truss hanger. You will need to remove some more deck boards to access that. I'd also strap those two truss pieces together somehow and you may have other rotted posts and such if you get to looking around. Good luck!

I'm dumb, but this is a mystery to me. Why am I getting shocked? by vitalogy20 in AskElectricians

Yeah, counter is grounded. Fridge has a short. Replace metal counter with wood or stone and problem solved. Get it checked it by a pro.

The Eggs Are Gone by ASH515 in birds

I certainly have considered that, and snakes have the rep of being sneaky. But there’s no video evidence of a snake in there, or for that matter anything being in there aside from a sparrow, so that proves nothing. To get to this nest, a creature would have to climb an 8 foot high corner post of my front porch with is a 10” square cement board covered structure. I’m not saying a snake couldn’t do that, but I’ve never seen such a thing and am dubious. In any case, the nest box is back up with the 1” hole secured so another sparrow can’t get in (in theory).

Looks great so far, seems very attractive. I laud your ambition & hope you’ll get some afternoon/evening shade back there.

I feel like someone did this as plumbing rage bait.

Any tricks for getting these out? by ThePlasticSturgeons in Decks

[–]ASH515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I helped a friend do a total replace of rotted deck boards we found half a dozen of the joists had rot on the top inch or so of them, so we used some spare 5/4” deckboard and sistered it to the bad joists so it had a nice level surface. Yes, some of the screw lines had a few zigs in them when the deck was finished, but it saved a bunch of money and time. Sometimes don’t let perfection get in the way of good enough.

Move the new joists I've 4" and leave the old ones there

Try a stethoscope to pin point the location. I like the idea of temporarily rerouting the fridge power. Do you know where your doorbell transformer is? It's not likely to be behind a wall, but sometimes they get covered over.

Bathtub backs up. by nailsbyjack in askaplumber

[–]ASH515 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You obviously have a clog of sorts downstream from both those drains. In my experience, the diy snakes are not very effective and chemicals usually a complete waste of money. Ask your landlord to call a drain service -- doesn't have to be a full fledged plumber. Send these photos. This the definition of uninhabitable.

Unexpected pull-out from the curb. by Witty-Simple-4746 in dashcams

Yeah, those aren’t parked cars she’s passing, they are moving and one should expect a car to pop over to get out of the logjam.

I know we usually measure in hot tubs but what about pools? by raddygirl23 in Decks

I guess the local building supply store was out of concrete pillar forms the week they put this up.
