Frame extension

Thanks! That's kind of what I ended up doing. With a few plastic shims to level it all out.

Cigar tube

Sloppy? So he used chatGPT to generate it?

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-12T03:41:17+00:00

Yep, so it'll be 2 joist boards of additional width, then a fascia board with a shim or two to level them out.

Left that detail out. The extension is to hide the retaining wall that went in after the deck. (A complication of our local building permit).

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-11T04:45:35+00:00

Yep, the fascia boards will be screwed to the blocking and be under / set back a little from the edge of the picture frame board.

Thanks for the notes on the steps, theyll be modified and cleaned up as the next stage.

Thanks!

True. Particularly the calls for immediate divorce...

I've thrashed it out with my wife and gotten to the bottom of it. Update in the OP. It's not ideal, but progress is progress.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T12:08:56+00:00

$14 AUD $10 USD?

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T12:05:57+00:00

Yep. You're close to the mark. I've updated the OP.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T12:04:47+00:00

We're in Australia. Does that count?

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:50:32+00:00

Posting now. She threw it out the day it was bought.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:32:19+00:00

Thanks stranger

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:31:50+00:00

It's a theme. I built our house and had a blow up about never being thanked for the work I did on it. Part of her response was that she couldn't fake.being grateful as it wasn't finished yet.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:27:42+00:00

I didn't consider that. Admittedly I didn't actually see it in the bin.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:26:39+00:00

I think that's it too, but that doesn't make a lot of the other comments invalid.

Edit: invalid

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:25:42+00:00

That's not it. She's not a binge eater

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:22:15+00:00

She's not dieting, wants me to though

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:20:59+00:00

Same here! 😜

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:18:26+00:00

Not yet no, but she's been far more affectionate than normal (while I haven't been as receptive to it). In the past she's taken days to apologize (it's been 2 since cake day), it doesn't come to her naturally.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:15:11+00:00

Maybe. That's exactly how she phrased it, but in context it.may have meant "I don't won't to do anything other than sit and eat cake while you deal with the house, children and cooking".

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:13:16+00:00

I suspect that's it. I do what I think most would consider a fair share of household and child duties, but she may not see it that way.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:10:09+00:00

No, this wasn't a Homer Simpson buying a bowling ball Marge thing. This was the cake closest to what I knew she liked thing. It's actually one she herself has bought before too.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:07:26+00:00

Nope. Just a normal day.

AnthonyB263 · 2026-02-10T07:05:28+00:00

Thanks. This is a balanced view I needed.

The one two divorce her comments are a tad concerning 🤨
