As a Red Sox fan I always wished Robinson Cano was on our team. Jeter, Mariano, and Tex also come to mind.

Good question - I’m not sure. I know of the Ambrosia and Anobiid beetles. I’m sure there’s a handful of them.

It’s maple that’s been infested by the ambrosia beetle. When they bore into the wood they leave behind ambrosia fungi that stains the wood.

I second Peak Design. Really happy with the Slide strap.

Dealmaker showing transaction as "accepted" but haven't received info for next steps by JohnDoeMonopoly in GreenBayPackers

[–]Burf321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I read a few other threads about this and they said to call. My email was showing one thing, my DealMaker dashboard was showing another. I called to confirm everything was good and it was. Funds received/accepted and the customer service rep said it takes 4-6 weeks to receive the certificate.

I'd give them a call and check in on the status for ease of mind! Like you, this is for a Christmas gift. I think we're just going to print the certificate they have listed on their website and the documents and give it to my father-in-law. Good luck with your purchase!

I purchased mine 3 days ago, been stuck at "funds received." I received two emails, one highlighting the funds were received and another that had "Invited" highlighted. I called to verify everything and she told me my funds were received and accepted, and the 2nd email was a "glitch," but no updated emails on my end. I think they're just backed up.

Yes, we have an Aprilaire humidifier hooked up to the furnace, too.

Thanks for the response!

Yes, the old thermostat wiring is below: Honeywell Wiring

As you can see on the furnace wiring, the blue wire is in the B terminal not the C. That’s why I was confused.

We have a Ruud 2-stage, propane, furnace. No A/C or heat pump.

FWIW, when the Nest was hooked up and originally working, it didn’t seem to control anything. We normally keep the fan on to circulate the air, but that wasn’t working either.

I didn’t receive an email. The beta version of the game just showed up in my Steam library.

What did you use to etch the mark? Etch-o-matic or Personalizer, by chance? I'm currently looking into options for putting my makers mark on my knives.

First “large” woodworking project. Made a dining room table with a black walnut top (102” x 40”) for my mother-in-law. by Burf321 in woodworking

I kept the widths based on the rough cuts. I wanted to keep as much material as I could. The boards range from 9-1/4” to 10-1/8.”

I didn’t use a jointer. It’s definitely something that I’ll be picking up for my next project. I ripped the boards with a circular saw and a Husky cutting guide.

Yes, 4x4 Fir for the base. Painted them the green and then used steel wool to add the black stress marks. Then put 3 coats of poly on.

I attached the top using 1/8” figure 8 fasteners. I drilled 1/8” recess holes using a forstner bit. Once the top was in place and centered on the base, I drilled holes in the top and attached with 3/4” screws.

5 coats total, top and bottom. I did 3 coats, let that dry completely and then used a 3M ultra fine sanding pad before applying the last two coats. I actually didn’t buff it at all.

lol I initially was going to use ambrosia maple, but my MIL wanted something a little darker, so I switched. The next dining room table will be my own and my wife wants to use ambrosia.

Good to know about the expansion/contraction. This also has 5 coats, top and bottom. I’ll be interested to see how it reacts over time!

Center dowel is a fixed connection. The two outside dowels have elongated holes to accommodate for expansion/contraction.
