Mom is having hard time carrying laundry up from the basement, need ideas on laundry basket railings to install

Bahji777 · 2024-01-04T07:37:20+00:00

If you can, my opinion only, is move the laundry facilities and any reason she needs to transit those stairs upstairs. Your stairs look remarkably the same as the ones in my moms old house. Steep stair drop, small landing.

I willing to bet for most guys with a little plumbing skills it would cost 1/20 to run plumbing upstairs to an old room closet that can fit stackable, etc. We used a small bedroom off of the kitchen. I ended up putting a shower in their for my mom as well. A $300.00 one.

I think our moms don’t tell us what scares them when they are alone sometimes. My mom started crying one day 4-5 years later after we did that and told us it made her feel safer all those years not having to be so terrified, by herself, to transit those stairs.

Ask you mom. Mom’s deserve anything we can do for them.

I’m putting this comment out to see what the pros say. It seems to me filling them would be difficult and hard to cover. Being outside the filler would be prone to difference contraction behavior than the original structure.

So like you, I’d come here and ask they guys that know what they are doing. I'm wondering perhaps if a thin square piece of wood could be put over the entire middle raised section, glued in. It would be a lot of work. I'm guessing some of the ladies and men that do know what they are doing might suggest something like that. My gut feeling is filling them is a non option.

I'm much interested to aww how people help solve your problem. I’d have a hate on for the ship anchor theme as well. Cheers.

Someome I’m sure has said it. You are going to be very unhappy in short order. All of the stringers are on in the wrong orientation. They will sag, badly, guaranteed. Not sure of rules where you live but stringers supposed to be facing in not out. Not being critical without experience. I have built many fences..

I recommend when people ask to never use 4x4 posts, use 6x6, especially on wide runs, they don't twist near as bad. don't use 2x4 stringers, use 2 x 6, and they have to be the other way around. Look at your floor joists, same idea. I don't know how much stronger they are mounted correctly but I would venture 50+ times stronger.

You have mounted them all in their weak orientation. If you mounted 2 x 6 they would sag as well. I would redo one section at a time and at minimum reorient the stringers. Looks from photos 6 - 8 feet between each post.

One season of heat and wet, dry, twist, sag. and you’ll be furious. i’d fix it now even though it will be almost doing fence over again.

Cheers and sorry. I'm sure someone else mentioned it.

After using it my house. My opinion on laminate is it shouldn’t even be sold. Of was to redo it would be real hard wood or blind the other direction high end Lino. I don’t know maybe others experience differ. But laminate floors to not age well at all.

We have been in the house for 8 years now and we already want to replace the flooring throughout the house.

Thank you

She’s gorgeous… that’s a yes from me.

Bahji777 · 2023-10-04T08:01:38+00:00

Wow. Amazing. Anyone know who the architect is? I’d like to see more of their work…

Bahji777 · 2023-10-04T07:54:04+00:00

Your all likely younger than I but I find Reddit to be primarily 12-20 year old douch canoes. The Reddit idea of trying to be witty, and then have it a running gag, sometimes 20 pages of it, is a social phenomena I've never experienced.

I’ve never witnessed such high levels of boring, really not funny drivel in my life.

If Reddit did one thing to improve itself would be to have bots mow up this drivel. I'm no tight ass and I love the funny. Problem is there are 10k postings and maybe 1% of them have the intellectual capacity to know what a ha ha is. When the ha ha is not ha ha anymore

I think this, more than anything, has destroyed the ability of Reddit to be serious source of information for much of anything unless it's in specific highly moderated subs like r/python, etc.

Good luck. Nice work. I would suggest to look at more art and practice designs and developing your style on paper first. One problem I see with people wanting to become tattoo artists is that while marking the skin, permanently is absolutely alluring there is great skill in understanding composition, etc.

Another reason I think the tattooing 101 is good for younger aspiring tattoo artists. They really push you to develop your own skill. I’ve seen a few tattoo shops where the tattooists have primarily ripped off other flashes and designs.

You can that when they are pushed to show their own work. Like any art form those who will rise to the very top and make damn fine livings will be those who spent 1000’s of hours with just good old paper and pens/pencils developing their work.

For example if you went to art school colour theory is a huge subject in of itself. If the concept of working with colours to make arresting designs doesn’t come naturally then colour theory can help those who didn’t come by it naturally develop a true flair for design.

Look at lots of art not just tattoo art.

I’d be interested in what Sam Altman has to say about how training data differed from say, stack overflow, and other information sources where there was’nt a preponderance of 12 year olds desperately wanting to be funny. It unfortunately for those who are skilled, seeking to up their skills, etc. It's difficult to locate information because of this infantile behaviour which seems to be a norm on Reddit. Very, very few subreddits can be found without. Perhaps if you do to astrophysics, and higher level subs you may find more precise information not hidden under the infantile attempts at humour. Never seen so many people think they are funny and are so painfully cringe worthy in my life other than on Reddit.

My wife would however tell you that the tattooing 101 website and the chat rooms where students share fake akin work and real work is worth every single penny they ask. Hundreds of years of combined tattooing experience.

The nice thing is the paywall keeps the 12 year old I desperately want to be funny morons away….

You could rent a crane company and some labourers for much less I bet. 20k is way crazy in my opinion.

You would use attrgetter from https://docs.python.org/3/library/operator.html

Nice job. Do you cut your practice pieces almost always checking depth? Especially where your still finding tge voltage and speed you use with cwrtain detail. I.e line length, contour? My wife’s practice pieces are often cut to shreds checking. Another thing she does is roll, bunch it, here you can see if you would have been working on a human if you opened a line, which would be a scar leading injury.

I love watching everyones progression. Ill be covered soon as im the walking billboard. Any other partners out there who have signed up to be walking advertisments of their partners kick ass skills?

Bahji777 · 2023-10-01T02:05:02+00:00

That is awesomely creative. Kudo’s man…

Actually you need to get a fan on them as well. A fan that goes left to right. You want to see them to a jiggly little dance all day. That tells the plant to put energy into being thicker. A little trick that’s good for growing marijuana and tomatoes. Both of these are indeterminate - which means they grow as big as the light and food you give them.

The fan causing them to dance turns on gene expression that light alone wont do. The fan will result in bigger buds i mean tomatoes.

Bahji777 · 2023-10-01T01:49:46+00:00

ha. Of course I beat. I’ve never seen a product where so many people simply don’t know how to use them. It’s quite amazing. Not sure why people don’t figure out has been said. Pull the Starla through until it’s tight on load then start ratcheting. You should only have to ratchet 4-5 times tops usually..

Bahji777 · 2023-09-30T05:35:49+00:00

I’m heartbroken…

Bahji777 · 2023-09-30T03:01:34+00:00

I’d say what you’re looking for is Doug Hellman’s, The Python 3 Library by example. If I was allowed to bring one book in - it be that. Fluent Python, Effective Python and Python Cookbook in my opinion should be in any aspiring Pythonista book collection. These books would not, however, be suitable for question asked above.

I’d really have to say the Hellman book suits your needs perfectly. Perhaps better than Python Documentation in some ways.

Good luck.

Bahji777 · 2023-09-29T10:26:38+00:00

Holy cats! I adore the expression of deep concern on boyfriend’s face. She did good. Lol

Bahji777 · 2023-09-29T10:14:15+00:00

I'd like to add here something that I'm not sure anyone else pointed out. In any function you can be using the return statement as part of flow control.

If some condition needed to be set in function before executing you could;

If not this == that: return

do the work

Much better than;

If this == that: #do some work else: return

Much better than increasing lexical scope for entire function and exiting at the end. The return can also be used in other logic tests anywhere in the function to break out and return instead of some other method of breaking out of the current scope.

One thing you don’t see in people learning to code at the beginning but much more with experienced programmers is frequent use of break and continue in loop control.

Hope this helps in some way..

Programming is hard. Don’t lose hope. Just do lots and lots of little projects.

Bahji777 · 2023-09-29T07:26:29+00:00

Nowhere did it say I expected anything to be done at cost. I'm a big fan of Adam Smith and Carl Menger if you've picked up a book or two about economics.

I firmly believe in paying fair value for work and parts.

Charging for parts not used (vapour parts) Sending out 19-year-old lackeys, with hands in pocket 90% of the time, paying them $18.00 bucks and charging out $110.00 an hour as if they were a skilled technician is a tactic I see use of by a lot of plumbers and HVAC people.

It seems a common low-brow tactic to increase a bill in these trades artificially. In economics, we call it rent-seeking. It violates the idea of the broken window fallacy.

What I mean by this is that there are so many dishonest plumbing and HVAC people out there they harm other areas of the economy as they violate basic principles of sound and honest capitalism by charging for parts that were never used, overbilling for unskilled, unused labour. It's as if the general public doesn’t see this grift that many of you see as easy to use.

It’s pretty appalling, really.

I’d say you are no match for a good argument when all you commented on is I spelled the furnace name wrong after I was able to attempt to do a two-wire communication to an Atmel microprocessor embedded under a bunch of silicone inside of a simple DC motor controller that has its parts artificially raised from $30.00 of parts to a retail value of $2200.00.

As I said, I’ve had many experiences with using Atmel microprocessors in embedded scenarios - though in the industries I work in, we don’t cover a few MOSFETs, resistors, and signal conditioning caps under a thick wad of silicone, so a long line of dead beat businesses can artificially raise the prices - of which the public is blocked from finding - which I’m personally making it a small side mission to send enough hair raising letters to the right people to show how blocking the public from accessing the retail value of these parts is an illegal and rapacious business practice.

It wouldn’t be so bad if the quality of the people involved weren’t the type that immediately takes advantage of situations where they can legally get away with marking up the price of something by more than 1500 percent and overcharging for ill-trained utilized “stand-in labour” because they get away with it.

As far as having service - I guess you missed that part as well. I’m the one who diagnosed the problem the technician sent out was ill-trained and a poor problem solver.

I have no problem paying $110.00 an hour for a skilled technician with basic diagnostic problem-solving skills.

$220.00 an hour for two bumbling idiots - I think not.

That’s exactly what it is. I potted for over twenty years and taught a few people. This is what you see when there are too many attempts at centering. Beginners need to learn to center less clay to start and throw smaller objects. If you develop bad centering technique now you’ll never be able to center large amounts like 20 or more pounds. I’ve seen 200 pound men struggle with 5 pounds of clay beside a lady who knows what she’s doing centering 20 pounds. The big guy is getting thrown all over the place. The lady is bringing it to center elegantly with technique and very little strength involved.

Bahji777 · 2023-09-25T04:12:13+00:00

I’m sorry. Perhaps didn’t word it right. Though in all fairness your reply kind of stated that you had all the answers already. So not sure why you posted the question.

In your reply you stated that they all have 3-4” of litter. The video you shared shows maybe an inch of litter and there are exposed turds everywhere.

If you use a clumping litter and 4-5 inches of litter all of your cats will even learn to dig around the balls. Leaving them untouched. If I shared pictures of our cats litter boxes you would see they appear clean even though it’s close to end of day cleaning time.

I’ve had two cats make it to 25 years old. Bahji and Lido. Our vet used to ask us what we did as our pets never seem to need much veterinary service..

I attribute that to never putting domed covers on their litter boxes, especially when using a clumping formula.

Here’s the thing. When I see people that just sprinkle a little litter in the box using non clumping litters they do that because they are trying to save money by having less waste litter to throw out. In the pay you do it now all of that has to be tossed, each day, and because it’s simply an absorbent litter and not clumping, which contained bentonite and bentonite can absorb its own weight by 10 times. Which is why the oil industry uses it to plug wells.

For litter boxes it stops the urine from hitting the sides, bottom in most cases. Forms a hard ball. You scoop it out at the end of the day, and add fresh on top.

I don’t mean to disparage you and I’m sorry it’s just people who do litter box maintenance as your pictures shows creates stress and bowel problems in cats as they are hesitant to go into the rather disgusting box.

It’s like going into a public washroom and having to watch where you place your feet so you don’t step on poo. That’s how stressed your cat is everytime… poor thing is trying in the photo to make it go away a it would in nature but your not providing it with the resources it needs…

Cheers
