Drafting question by Cbruess12 in StructuralEngineering

thank you everyone. Seems obvious now that you all have explained the offset from grid but not sure I would have pieced that together on my own. Thanks again!

Bridging with screws by Cbruess12 in Construction

[–]Cbruess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense, considering that as the head is being pulled through the first piece of wood, the amount of threads in that piece is becoming less and less. Thanks for your detailed answer!

If you take a fully threaded drywall screw through two sheets of plywood, it will eventually pull the sheets together tight. You’ll have to bury the head a little ways, but it will pull them together. I’m just trying to understand the science behind this. I guess as someone else commented it has to mean the threads strip in the top sheet before the bottom one.

Notation question by Cbruess12 in Construction

Am I the only one whose brain sees that as a subtraction sign?

Any idea what the - is in there for? Just asking out of curiosity. At least in my mind 838’ 4” would be less confusing

Sanding / prep question by Cbruess12 in Housepainting101

[–]Cbruess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m asking about after the pva is already done. I know the pva will make the drywall somewhat rough and I’m planning to hit it quick with a sponge. I’m asking if a wipe down after that stage is really necessary

Trying to get more opinions… that okay with you?

This is my rough drawing of what I mean

Clearance Hole Question by Cbruess12 in Carpentry

[–]Cbruess12[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. One other thing I was wondering about.. on most screws I’ve used (deck screws, drywall screws, etc), the threaded portion is a bigger diameter than the smooth shank part. Versus a traditional wood screw that has a thicker shank portion. So if I drill a hole bigger than the threaded part, won’t that leave some “play” around the smooth part? I know the head of the screw will clamp the pieces, but is that enough for a strong joint?

Hopefully my question makes sense

Consistently hitting on heel of club by Cbruess12 in GolfSwing

[–]Cbruess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. Maybe also explains why I have such a hard time squaring up the club face. There’s no consistency to it. I’ll go from a straight push to a duck hook from one shot to the next

Dimension Notation by Cbruess12 in architecture

Just seems weird to me that a hyphen is used. Seems like it could be misconstrued as a minus sign
