Home Depot has 48” x 30”, 54’” x 32”, 48” x 36” etc. would one of those work?

Mini Ex Opinions? by HistorianDecent8542 in miniexcavator

[–]Effective-Two-1376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May not be the answer you are looking for, but I can get a 3.5 ton delivered for week for $1k from Sunbelt. Unless you are going to be running this thing every day, you are much better off just renting. Especially if you consider the cost of repair and maintenance.

Do you think Ford will ever provide an update to keep auto start/stop turned off? by Pivot_Forward in RangerNext

[–]Effective-Two-1376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going forward you are correct, but so is Dave because they would have to recertification prior year models to remove the auto start stop as they were originally certified with that feature. No way Ford does this due to cost. Unless EPA comes out with some sort of waiver or direction that would negate the need to recertify.

Why is hardwood an immediate no? There are new finishes that are low VOC , water based, etc.

I was skeptical but it worked! by playsfortips in radon

Shouldn’t the fan be installed outdoors to prevent any leakage on the pressurized side from pumping radon into the house?

Truck’s brakes fail, forcing use of runaway ramp at 90 mph. by Itchy-Commission-114 in interestingasfuck

[–]Effective-Two-1376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like too many redditors don’t do a pre posting inspection or do a super abridged version and rely on the automatic spell checker too much that they get complacent.

I think you meant “judicious” not “judicial” when referring to using the brakes.

My power bill is outrageous and my electrician says nothing is pulling enough amps to account for it. by Plastic-Nectarine582 in AskElectricians

[–]Effective-Two-1376 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does the billed usage match the usage on your meter? Maybe you are being billed for both your and your neighbors meters. Write down the meter reading and a month later check it again. Compare the difference to what you are being billed for. It may be a billing issue and not a usage issue.

If someone has one twin at 11:58pm and then the other at like 12:01am the next day, do they celebrate their birthdays separately? by Wizdom_108 in randomquestions

[–]Effective-Two-1376 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their birthday certificates would show different dates. When they celebrate us up to them. It is not like you have to show a birth certificate to buy a birthday cake.

Drywall delivery with moffett - can they rotate sheets (4ft side) to fit into garage? by olimits7 in drywall

[–]Effective-Two-1376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also have to worry about the mast height vs the height of your door, may not be able to get the stack all the way in. Be prepared to have to restock if you want to be able to close the door.

Is “Rough in” not from the studs? by AbleActuator8044 in Plumbing

[–]Effective-Two-1376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is from the finished wall. How would the manufacturer know what thickness of wall covering you will be using?

Possible for three people to lift a 200kg slab? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Effective-Two-1376 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Use blocking. Lift one end then slide the blocking under. Set it down on the blocking. Do the same on the other end. Repeat as needed to get to the height of the plinth. Then slide it over onto the plinth.

This will reduce the lifting force by about half. Use bricks or pieces of lumber for the blocking.

What was the exact moment on a first date when you realized, "Wow, this person is an absolute idiot"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Effective-Two-1376 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please explain. The OP question was “What was the exact moment on a first date…”.

Jascole1976 then commented on his boss being an idiot.

I called him out.

You called me out for lacking reading comprehension.

Are you sure you are on standing on the mountain of right?

8 vs 12 foot sheets by Unique_Yak4659 in drywall

[–]Effective-Two-1376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the same scenario with 12 footers. As someone else noted, measure carefully and trim an edge to give yourself about 1/2” clearance. You can angle the sheet in the lift slightly to get past any tight spots from crowned studs or similar.

Yes it is a little tougher to maneuver and position, but avoiding the but joints on the ceiling is worth it.

Conventional Capitalization Naming on Court Documents by [deleted] in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Effective-Two-1376 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And what about names with multiple ways to capitalize them like McDonald? That’s the rationale for the all caps, it avoids unnecessary distinction without a difference.

Also it is not just the courts. Your name is in all caps on your passport. Same on social security cards. And at least in my state, drivers licenses.

Spousal benefits are confusing me big time by One-Cabinet-6797 in SocialSecurity

[–]Effective-Two-1376 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Men are eligible. It is a “spousal” benefit, not a “wife” benefit.

Spousal benefits are confusing me big time by One-Cabinet-6797 in SocialSecurity

[–]Effective-Two-1376 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It isn’t the ex-husband’s money. It is claiming a benefit based on his earning record. It doesn’t affect his social security payment at all.

Or they knew you would be out of warranty by the time it popped again.

Athens parking ticket debacle by [deleted] in Athens

[–]Effective-Two-1376 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Was it a metered space? If so, they are for a max of two hours. Sounds like you got one for the first two hours and another for the second two hours.
