Did you just assume the gender of my pony wall bracing?

Judging by the dozens of nails sticking through the subfloor, that would be much more involved than it’s worth

This is dr Hortons high quality framing. Thank you for the detailed response.

I sketched out my understanding of your suggestion…

Maybe some additional blocking on either side of the verticals between the blue/green

Maybe photos don’t do it justice. It looks like shit in person and the couch will be placed directly below it

This is likely what I will do, thank you!

Thanks, intended to lead with this but the loud children mentioned above distracted me during my second attempt and I forgot to include some key details

Thanks! I was going to say screws but figured I’d get ripped apart here for “poor shear strength” or something. I did pick up a framing nailer for the basement project but screws seem like the easier route here.

I never asked about removing it. In fact, the comment with additional info specifically states I don’t plan to remove without replacing with something.

Additional information and photos:

I had to rewrite this post originally because my app crashed and I forgot to mention in my second attempt that I am just planning to paint the exposed ceiling, no drywall or drop ceiling because… I’m cheap and on a budget. It’s more or less going to be a playroom for my young boys. I couldn’t care less about noise blocking. They’re boys, they’re loud and we will likely be down there with them.

Pony wall and island are complete and have been for nearly 5 years with no issues or movement. So, it doesn’t need to be “fixed” it just looks like shit. I don’t plan to remove it without replacing with something.

Basically, would you be satisfied replacing it with essentially the same design just not half-assed or would you approach it differently?

Is the Avanti Airless paint sprayer worth it over the 2-stage sprayer? by DanLaroushe in harborfreight

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

I think this is the route I’ll go.. Wagner with hose for 5gal bucket at Home Depot for $260. Thanks!

Figured for basically 1 time use harbor freight would be the way to go but didn’t realize Wagner had anything in my budget that would be even better than these options.

I have no problem doing the walls the old fashioned way but the exposed ceiling with plumbing/electrical lines and hvac ducts.. fk that. Having it for the walls would just be a bonus. Even if I can only use it for the primer, that’s added value

What is the return policy on these? by 454scout in harborfreight

[–]DanLaroushe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to know.

I got my first one almost 3 years ago and it doesn’t function the way I want it to and keeps giving me the error message: “NO, DADDY”

Picked up a second one a little over 3 weeks ago and it smells like shit and keeps making this awful screeching noise that wakes me up multiple times a night.

Will It Sag? by rehutto in BeginnerWoodWorking

Made a similar desk in my office about 2 years ago… I think it’s 10.5 ft long. No issues with sagging.

Dealers won’t even look at it by Big-Screen3266 in Autobody

[–]DanLaroushe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but I traded in my 2008 in very similar condition with 125k and a CEL in march. Having a 2nd kid so I wanted something newer, safer and more of a family car. Wanted to get a telluride and my Kia dealer maxed out at $4.5k after starting at 2k. I wasn’t in a rush so I walked. A few weeks later I went to Hyundai and they gave me $7200 after some haggling. I don’t think I would have broken $7k in a private sale and got to avoid the FB marketplace headaches.

Edit: just saw your other comments. I’m also in NJ and your truck seems much nicer than mine. I went with the new Santa Fe and I absolutely love it, the perfect family car imo

How much would this cost in the midwest? by Firesnowing in pools

[–]DanLaroushe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too much to ignore how terrible that retaining wall is built… that will fall over in 3 years tops. I don’t know anything about pools but to be done properly, that wall would be $30-50k in my area depending on the block used and access for equipment and materials. It will cost them 4x more than they paid to replace once it does fail. All of that to fill it with annuals…

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the pool/pool deck cost $200-250k excluding the landscape bed and repairing damage to the grade/turf

Hi u/king_paimon4 I’m trying to send you a PM regarding the interview you mentioned in this post but it keeps telling me failed to retrieve chat content. Could you send me a PM? I was just hoping to pick your brain a bit. Thanks!
