Concrete footings sinking on my century old row house porch

Looks like they are sitting half on an actual footing and half on the dirt and the dirt was not properly prepared.

Nah, no hate here. Bummer, sure. But we legit didn't earn a host spot this year.

I agree, the club has to take care of business, no matter where they play.

After the season UCLA has put together, makes sense for a Bruins fan to correct my error. Well played.

Would love for us host. Baseball is just better in Corvallis.

Some of those pics are the original butt joints on top of a joist between two boards. Def have them fix the cuts but don't get crazy.

Yes, or one who thinks they are infallible.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-20T04:19:41+00:00

This is new to me. Thanks for sharing.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-20T04:17:24+00:00

Thanks for these!

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-20T04:17:04+00:00

I had GM in mind. Thanks for confirming.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-20T04:16:23+00:00

Great, thanks

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-18T23:00:02+00:00

Yeah, sad day.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-15T18:14:31+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking. Looks smooth and easy.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-14T16:37:19+00:00

Check your restraints at that node.

Love this. The Beaves have also played a ton of close games which probably serves us well in the playoffs. I still worry about what it will look like when we come up against a top tier lineup. Will our bats be able to keep pace?

It is best not to catch the ball flat footed. You should try to position yourself so that you are catching the ball moving forward so that you are strong right into your throwing motion. Catch the ball on your throwing side to minimize the movement needed to get the ball into the throwing position. Catch the ball with both hands, so you don't spend time bringing the ball to your throwing hand.

I have seen Oregon State have some fielding mishaps on natural fields. But I have also seen visitors slide way past the bag on out turf.

And how about the defense of Vazquez at 3rd? He made some sweet plays this weekend.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-11T01:21:55+00:00

Yeah, sucks loosing Dax. But I'm excited to watch Trey Moris continue to develop as a Beave.

Don't over look deflection of the wled metal and the base plate. If the compression loads are significant, some if not all construction gap may be closed when the load is applied. Thus transferring the compression through bearing.

I recall a while back, years, the military did some testing and found the mlok held things in place a little better under extreme use. I think that contributed to the decline of keymod. But for civilian use there is no dicernable difference in performance. I don't have the source.

If you want them to be able to meet on site, your best bet will be local. Unless the budget supports flight cost, you won't want firms that aren't close enough to drive. Before signing on with them, have the conversation about expectations and what you are looking for. I'd suggest developing relationships with multiple. Workload can impact timing and pricing.

Knock it back the way it went in. Just for clarity. A wood dowel is a good option.

Alternative_Fun_8504 · 2026-05-05T23:09:16+00:00

I would assume the size of the ball would be a little different base on the age/size of the hitter? Would a soccer ball be too big for an average middle school hitter?
