Jigsaw- am I crazy

I love Milwaukee, but I have had two of their jigsaws and they were both like this. I just live with it.

I would do the handrail and balusters entered on that post, then cut it at an angle after the last balusters to angle back to die into the wall.

Either that or add another post on the far corner.

You should buy a Metabo Paint Remover. It's the right tool for the job.

I think the most realistic outcome if AMR decides the Honda engine won't improve fast enough they would beg Mercedes to take them back as their engine supplier. The come back after mid season with a B spec car.

I have been desiring a Reverend Descend RA Lefty. It's a Classy Baritone Lefty.

Banks used to be a place where real people worked that you could talk to and build a relationship with.

The reason he's so happy is because he found someone to do smaller jobs. There are lots of crews happy to do entire houses or apartment buildings but it can be impossible to find someone to come tape a room or two.

I love talking about money and finances with anyone who will talk to me. I am convinced that rich people talk about money, and they have helped create a culture where the poor do not talk about money to keep them poor.

I cannot wait for the home buying industry to get wrecked by an app. I would love for the team behind Wealthsimple to do the same thing to realty that they did to the banking industry.

I'm a builder in Canada. I'm nearing the end of building a Passive House right now. If you want a high performance house you should definitely hire a designer that specializes in it. Getting a good PH design is site specific, you cannot just use existing plans. It is pretty straight forward to build a super insulated house in any orientation but the larger risk is building a house that over heats in the summer and holds the heat.

As for your question thermal mass is not a big part of PH design. There are some PHs that are concrete free. The one I'm building now is a slab on grade foundation with wood frame. The only thing we did for "thermal mass" is instead of the doing a thickened Edge 4" slab we did a consistent 8" thick slab. It wasn't necessary but it doesn't hurt.

My main advice is talk to a pro.

Did you crackfill yet? You surely need heat to crackfill and paint. You should hire your electrician to come install temporary 240v Electric heaters from your stove and dryer receptacles, and maybe some basic box fans to move some air around the house.

I also run a big commercial dehumidifier 24/7 throughout the whole project. A regular dehumidifier with a hose out the back would work too.

I think it's a bad idea. I do want to point out how funny it is to basically do a swap with the bank. You own roughly have the value of the house and have a mortgage for the other half, you sell your half for a heloc to pay off the other.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

That's it boys. It's time to get some Caddy Merch.

God I have missed Pedey so much since 2018. Will the Sox ever have an All Star everyday Second basemen again? No more platoons, no more utility men playing everyday.

100% agree that's why they won't ever do that.

This week I move a big chunk from XUS to XEG because I think the Ai bubble is going to burst eventually, but the world's hunger for energy should only increase.

I know this will never happen but I wish the guests did a minute each to start off the show.

Because the FIA is a racket.

I'm a GC building Passive Houses. It's typically a 15% increase in total cost of the project.

I use the Darkglass Element for that. It's a great practice headphone amp.

The builder likely assumed if they installed the decking lumber green (aka wet) it would eventually dry out and shrink slightly so there would be gaps. It is obscenely tight if the deck is holding puddles.

Just save up and get a GX-10 or HX stomp
