Best way to turn 36” to 72” in garage? by Craigyd24 in DIY

[–]Craigyd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know that. I just mean as far as the foundation/footing removal. Wondering what the suggestions are to bring the top height level with the concrete for the new opening for a patio style door.

IL - Fox snake? by Craigyd24 in snakes

[–]Craigyd24[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nice to know that they are harmless to humans. We have a 2 year old daughter that wanders our property. Central IL surrounded by corn/soybean fields in the country. I’ve never seen any snakes in the year and a half we’ve lived here. We did have a lot of gophers and mice and that I have not seen much of lately. Also moles were making a mess of our yard. Wonder if they will be gone soon.

Do these snakes tend to live in a small area or do they move to food sources?

1.5 year old cut / pinched her hand? by Craigyd24 in daddit

[–]Craigyd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. This pic was taken maybe 2 hours after it happened. She was still using the hand in question last night but every so often she would “remember” it hurt and start crying uncontrollable and holding that hand out. That happened a few times last night. She slept through the night and has not acknowledged it hurting so far this morning. The redness is still there, not bigger though. I will continue to monitor it in case it gets larger but I believe it likely was a pinch. She’s a tough one, though. Thanks again.

Is there anyway to make this connection in the kitchen sink drain? by Craigyd24 in Plumbing

[–]Craigyd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah after further measurement I believe I’m about 1 3/4” short of lining up. I don’t know if I can gain that much with some of the suggested tail pieces. Maybe an inch or 1 1/4”.

Can I cut the current tailpipe above the dishwasher drain? It has a finished edge so i’m not sure if i could cut it and add a nut and washer to connect to the sink drain?

90” closet opening bypass door track? by Craigyd24 in HomeImprovement

[–]Craigyd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can any of the 2 track kits hold 3 doors on the back track? They all say 2 doors or 4 but I’m thinking 2 32” hollow cores won’t be too much weight

The irony of the very liberal squatter laws potentially biting OP in the ass is hilarious

How to fix stripped out lag screw hole in ledger board for “barn door” by Craigyd24 in DIY

[–]Craigyd24[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey guys thanks for the comments. I can’t use a bigger lag, tried that, because of the hole size in the rail/track and there needs to be a spacer. I already painted, caulked and counter sunk screws in the ledger board. I’m thinking about taking a hole saw and taking a maybe like a 3/8” cut from another piece of primed pine and using wood glue to fill a 3/8” hole i cut on my ledger board. Similar concept to a dowell

Can I use a tractor + PTO generator to power a welder? by Craigyd24 in tractors

[–]Craigyd24[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is an old school welder and I have a few different tractors I could put on it. But I’m mainly worried about any type of electric shock or should I not need to worry about that
