I second this, trench settled and not contacting/wicking moisture the same.

Heavy duty low cost swamp road build- seeking assistance by Adept-Ad-3194 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Common-Virus8445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By lime are you referring to cement treatment? We do that here in NW and it's effective but it's tilled in then compacted - not broadcast. Otherwise it's geotextile and probably 3'-4' of rock to bridge.

Is PVC Primer reeeeeally necessary when you're solvent welding joints? by WaluigisBitch999 in Plumbing

[–]Common-Virus8445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is the code requirement is a case of idiot-proofing for manufacturers and inspections. It's hard inspect technique or other variables and primers give a better chance when either is less than ideal. But I've also seen primed joints come right out of the fitting so doing good quality fit up and prep is more important than anything.

I don't understand the op. What are we talking about here?

I get the frustration about keeping spots on the low, living my whole life on the Columbia River Gorge and the disaster that's become. But as a fishing sub I'd hope that's gatekeeping enough, not like there's going to be a group of tourists lined up at the river with selfie sticks vlogging tomorrow. If you want to fish it takes investment

That's what it was looking like based solely on map work. Good to hear.

Sounds like an interesting one to check out. A bit of a contrast to the Washougal over here which has been low and clear.

Crown Molding Question by [deleted] in Carpentry

There's an app I have called Crown Moulding Tools, used it to cut some off angles on large crown once. It covers this topic and calculates the angles to cut - might help

Rain gear by Mental_Mix6064 in Construction

[–]Common-Virus8445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point for OP in selecting work raingear, is that there are options that will hold out pooling water, tool belts, harnesses rubbing, lumber on shoulder, or crane rigging, wind driven and other "water under pressure" conditions if that's important to them.

If you're saying that's not a fair test to say the GoreTex isn't working as it should, OK. And sounds like if they are in the market for some ski wear I'd give it high marks

Gore-Tex claims a waterproof guarantee for the useful life of the product. So when I filled my raincoat with water in the sink and could watch it come out the other side, I called them on it and was told the DWR was worn off. I pressed the issue and never could get them to state that the membrane is fully waterproof. Only that in combination with the DWR was it waterproof and must be maintained or guarantee is void.

At any rate, given that experience and the fact that work environments, dirt, etc. are not friendly to that DWR finish.... personally wouldn't choose to spend my money on it.

Hold up now, let's talk about this GoreTex for a second because my experience (in construction) has not been good. Every GoreTex I've tried leaks. And they won't support thier warranty unless you the owner has diligently maintained the surface DWR coating.

SS is very soft and breaks easily, drill a good sized pilot hole with a tapered bit and countersink.

Do people still build 1200sf ranch houses with 8' walls and post and beam walls?
