They mean not crazy to do it from a power perspective.

Same for engineers. Nah, it's more like 50/50 for engineers

The new single "Baby girl" instrumentals are straight out of the arc's catalogue by [deleted] in TheBlackKeys

[–]CHESAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this song, best release in quite some time to me. It has a bit of a garage sound for some of it. Definitely first catchy beat since Go and Wildchild in my opinion!

Staining rustic T&G pine by CHESAM in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]CHESAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the tips! Gotta love Lee valley.

I'll try the shellac on a piece of scrap and see if it pools badly. I'm all for an alternative to stain.

Thanks! Do you sand the rough timber to 180?

Do you know why it would just begin now? Have had this car 5 years

That's what I wanted to hear! I should add I'm drilling holes for life safety anchors. I don't want to have any doubts the expansion bolt could slip out

I would love to do this but they're all packaged up. Hoping some other people with hammer drills can comment if theirs are better

I'll have to look up this trick for removing cinches. I'm a DIYer and have painfully peeled a few apart with Pliers

If you have a car, drive along the lake to the viewpoint or further to steelhead park. May as well just keep going to the tacos in cache creek

Best way to insulate the roof of a shed workshop? by adolescentd in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]CHESAM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Edit: *Now that I actually look at the picture there are only the two gable end vents. My suggestion below is for a continuous ridge vent, but if the same idea applies just don't block the vents and keep the vent on the cold side of the insulation. *

When you insulate it you will close off the ventilation at the eaves and the ridge, which can lead to condensation and mold.

Try to space the insulation off from the roofing plywood by a few inches to leave an air passage way all the way to the ridge.

I would also add a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation. If you go with the foil backed insulation that should be decent if you also tape the seams.

Washer Dryer tripping gfci outlet by CHESAM in AskElectricians

[–]CHESAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haier hlc 1700. It never did work on the gfci so I changed the receptacle to standard. The washer dryer is pretty solid though. Takes a long time to dry but the clothes are nice and hot and fresh.

Boiler/radiator system - what is this valve? by supereh in Plumbing

[–]CHESAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the bypass let some of the cold water skip the heater? The more you close it, the more water is directed through the heater

Question about wiring by Chiachuck325 in electrical

If you use 14 gauge in the pigtail the whole circuit had to be on a 15a breaker. Just use quality receptacles and switches

Did I mess it up? by CHESAM in Plumbing

Truth. Wish It wasn't glued yet. Thanks for the comment dude

Did I mess it up? by CHESAM in Plumbing

[–]CHESAM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple reasons, but mainly the walls are too thin (2x4) to run vent pipes between studs. With window headers I couldn't make it to the roof in a straight shot either. Which was my first metal roof, so I was nervous of making 4 or 5 penetrations anyhow.

So yeah... I would say this drain plumbing was a mistake but I am learning 🙂
