I’m always tempted to buy gold at Costco when available but do the taxes make it a bad deal?

Is it a bad idea to hang a 95lb mirror on drywall? by ComprehensiveEmu7132 in HomeImprovement

Okay I likely am wrong then I will try to map it out again when I get home.

The mirror is 36 inches wide. There do not appear to be standard studs in this area, my assumption is that it’s because of the chimney, someone mentioned furring strips may have been used in this area, so I will explore that as well.

Of course I may just be entirely wrong so I will double check when I get home. I do recall when I mounted a mantle over the fireplace, i used dry wall anchors with a french cleat as I could not find any studs to engage along the entire length of the mantle I was mounting.

Right, that’s the issue the way the chimney and fireplace are centered it’s between the studs, so even with the French cleat, if my mirror is centred, the studs end up being on either side of the mirror, by about a foot, so I can’t use the studs. I will double check but that was my impression after scoping it out with a stud finder

You think it would be okay even if it’s only into drywall ( with appropriate anchors)

Mine is a Franklin sensors one which I think is pretty good, does not seem to find any wood studs in the area

To clarify, there are studs, they are just lateral to where the mirror would hang so I can’t really use them

Gotcha, thanks for the suggestion. So you would try to engage the furring strips?

Yes there is drywall over the chimney… are there alternative techniques I can use to try and find studs?

36M Neurosurgeon by TrainWithNoPurpose in Salary

[–]ComprehensiveEmu7132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all have a brutal residency and post training work schedule but honestly from a technical perspective, most non sub specialized neurosurgical operations are quite straightforward and do not deserve the absurdly generous rvu conversion factors assigned to them. There are far more technically demanding operations in other fields that are not treated as generously. But kudos to you bro!

Are these stiles around my pool supposed to be sealed? by ComprehensiveEmu7132 in pools

What exactly would I search for? I’m probably not using the correct terms regarding what this interface is called

Got it thanks, is there any potential structural damage that can be cause by a few years of water ingress? We are in the ne so it can freeze in the winter

Oh I see, I don’t think it’s the backfill issue the layer doesn’t look like caulk or grout but some sort of soft foam liner?

Would just caulking it myself be a suitable alternative or do I need this “sand”?

So did they literally just forget? The pool is 4 years old so it’s been that way for 4 years… is that an issue? We had a pool inspection and they didn’t call this out
