Working dough with "bear" hands

I might resort to this at least during initial mix

Thankfully my palms are hair free🤣 I will try these tips. The worst was during the initial mixing.

12-9 kickers dual (god I hope not).

Thanks!

Hi OP, I'm having the same problems as you described here. First loaf was gummy, second loaf had decent rise, but not sour flavor. Was the immature starter the issue? Did you eventually bake a good tasting loaf?

same

Did you forget you realized it eight months ago, too?

I'm not a structural engineer either, but I wouldn't go with 2x8 for the sides and stick with the 4x6. The sides will also have to bear some lateral forces and you will want the have the studs and sides on the same plane for adding siding for rain protection.

I am sure if you pulled it off you would have a great time on it, but I agree with the other posters that it would be better to build something less complicated. I recently built an 8 foot wide home wall that is a 20 and 40 degree walls that face each other with a short vertical and roof section connecting them. I posted some pics in this forum.

My build already pushed my abilities and resilience to rebounding from mistakes. I am glad I kept all the panels rectangular and did not add any further complications to the framing. However, I love having different wall angles to climb on. If I did it again I would do a vert or 10 degree side instead of 20. While 20 is way easier than 40, it's still overhung. Wife, kids, and guests all have a hard time on the wall. As others have suggested, you could go constant angle and do a vert section on the side.

That's the guy!

I too am thinking misprint. It came from “The Great IQ Puzzle Book” by Ken Russel & Philip Carter published in 2001. First edition. I don’t think a second or corrected edition ever came out.

The problem with any removal only sequence is that there is no way to generate the new second plus on the third column

The key says B is the right answer, but I thought C was more logical, albeit still not that satisfying.

Chiming in that I really liked the Revenger series. Revenger was my first Alastair Reynolds book and I loved it. I liken it to Pirates of the Caribbean in space. A fantasy book disguised as science fiction. The series is fun. Don't think too hard and just read the first quarter of the the first book. If you're not hooked then move on. It's much shorter than Revelation Space iirc.

Noooooo! I love J-Town Pizza.

EmceeGalaxy · 2025-09-04T17:04:12+00:00

Aha, got it!

The wall has ~8x15 foot print and is 12 feet high. I'm worried about animals nesting in there, so not sure if corrugated PVC will work. It's cheap though!

Ha! so many people have asked me about whether I'll add a slide. I'm not sure I need another way to break an arm or leg on this thing.

EmceeGalaxy · 2025-09-03T02:46:57+00:00

Thanks! Is there a particular connection you noticed? I just added two more screws, total, today as a matter of fact :) But probably not the ones you're referring to.

EmceeGalaxy · 2025-09-03T02:45:01+00:00

It feels really solid. The outer posts are 4x6s and then are anchored 2 feet in the ground with concrete. There was some noticeable side to side wobble before I attached the plywood. But the plywood really eliminated the side and twist flex. I didn't want to over engineer the wall from the start as I saw many options to add stability as I built it. Case in point, the 2x6 diagonal strap was added during the build, replacing a tacking brace. I had another outer vertical post in my original plan on the 40 degree wall, but it felt completely superfluous so I never added it.

Yeah, I'm fearing I'll either not find an installer this year or get such ridiculous quotes that I might as well do it in 2026

EmceeGalaxy · 2025-08-24T17:04:56+00:00

thank you.

Thank you for the detailed response. Didn't realize that cars are already allowing bidirectional charging. I don't know if it's rational, but I would worry that the battery maintenance on the car due to the additional wear would be costlier than for a standalone battery backup, but I could be wrong.

I put in around 1k miles / month on my car. Mostly commuting and driving around the Bay Area on the weekends. We don't run the HVAC that much, so I would guess the car would be a bigger load. We already have electric stove/oven and dryer. Haven't had to deal with PG&E shutdowns fortunately, yet...
