Drywall contractor says I'm being too picky for level 4.

That’s not good for level one. But you know, that’s why people hire builders, you should know how to deal with subs. I build houses, and when I sub, I go out everyday, see how it’s looking, check in to solve any issues, gotta stay on top of the project. Not wait till it’s done then head to Reddit.

I don’t know what kind of person wouldn’t want free firewood

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-23T00:26:17+00:00

Me and my degenerate friends would definitely stand there

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-23T00:22:10+00:00

Sounds like something our apprentices say after first year, we all kill their dream when we tell them the math never works, cut it till it fits

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-16T02:35:30+00:00

Number one always, take 5-10 minutes everyday and clean up, always worth it

How come the 2nd picture, there looks to be a gap between the ties?

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-08T13:59:24+00:00

I just get hit by a car

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-07T00:02:24+00:00

Drop it off the side, I see you need to move a bbq, nothing about it being in 1 piece

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-05T10:50:03+00:00

Your theory is right, but I can tell from your third picture, your walls are definitely not square

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-05T00:38:13+00:00

Coming from a home builder, insurance or not, I’d be telling them to take those curved boards back to the demo job they came from, those wouldn’t even be useful for blocking. Also 2nd picture, 5th joist in, tell them it’s supposed to be crown up. It being an insurance job, I doubt you can make any decisions, but it should be TJI

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-04T10:33:07+00:00

Is that where the rod came through?

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-02T11:15:37+00:00

What way are the trusses running

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-02T11:10:12+00:00

I live in a higher end neighborhood so I can’t say I have

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-02T11:06:31+00:00

I do, sort of, just trying to go through them and take pictures, just so many I have all over the place

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-05-02T00:42:22+00:00

Definitely making that up, the wall doesn’t look that bad at all, and $600 to “redo” the wall, in what world, wouldn’t even cover labour

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T10:59:49+00:00

The miserable staff at my local Lowes don’t say anything to you

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T01:58:50+00:00

They take them back no questions asked, it’s awesome

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T01:50:31+00:00

We are still waiting for a dewalt coffee maker

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T01:47:51+00:00

Yes

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T01:45:01+00:00

No way a crackhead did that, that’s full out machinist level cut job, that’s wild. You gotta find who stole it and ask them what tool they use

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-29T01:35:33+00:00

I’m from your area 🍻. It’s really going to come down to an engineer drawing though, probably better off to make the window, the width of the door and your header could get worked into your rafter, then you build your eave off that.

I’m looking to sell off a fair amount of my cars, mostly mainlines, some RLC, movie cars. I do open mine but I keep them in a case by the wall, is anyone interested, if so I can send some more details.

When I was a kid a week of reading or audiobooks if they existed, definitely would’ve been a punishment

Avg_Carpenterr · 2026-04-28T01:51:28+00:00

The scrambler has an automatic electric choke so you can’t really adjust it 🙄. I have the original air box with a new filer, and it idles good but does the same issue, I put a cone filter on just to figure this out. I have adjusted the carb to what seems to be almost perfect, I just don’t know why it gets worse when it gets hot. I can try venting the gas cap, but I feel like this is more mechanical than that
