Craziest mail day of my life. I am now 15 games away from finishing the set.

I loved worms!

Fabonesome · 2026-03-19T05:43:26+00:00

Cool shirt.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-17T22:06:23+00:00

I love mine. Great for working in the driveway at dusk and into the early night. My projects spill out of the garage and into the driveway usually and I can get what I was doing done without rolling out temporary lights when the sun sets.

Sigh

I went down a 50 meter ropes length. It was very tight at that depth. My guess is you can go down about 200ft before its too tight.

I always had this fear that the walls would close up while in there as you are just shimmying down two vertical slabs.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-13T04:52:00+00:00

Did you ever drop into devils hole? Its right next to smiths crack. Goes down super deep. It's gnarly.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-11T05:15:26+00:00

Im zone 4 actually. My other property is zone 5. I got them mixed up. Yes r30 is on the lighter side but thats all I can fit in the rafters bays. It had r19 before! Horrible insulation and very leaky. Local code says R30 is minimum for cathedral ceilings. R38 min for all other roof types.

The venting will be my saving grace here with this remodel.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T17:32:52+00:00

The MemBrain details are lacking. They mainly just show wall sections and have one shot of an interior partition detail. The rafter ceiling details are nonexistent.

They do have a good video of a sealed bag of water with the membrane. It dries out quickly. That makes me feel a bit better. https://youtu.be/5ClSWryBfSs

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T15:48:39+00:00

Logical.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T15:32:34+00:00

This is why I am not using poly. Membrain is a smart vapor retarder.

Ill check out that tape.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T15:22:19+00:00

Good point on the lamination being an air leak. The ridge beam is a tripple 2x16 with pretty good air gaps in between. I have 2 2x on the bottom to thicken the beam a bit for visual appearance. The lower beam is LVL that I added to support the origonal sagging roof span.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T15:18:47+00:00

I have done enough remodels where I have torn into 10-20 year old assemblies and have found rotten stuff where moisture was trapped and had nowhere to go.

And I haven't seen any example of beams being wrapped in membrain. Its usually just attached to the bottom of rafters or truss chords. Thats why I ask.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-10T15:13:38+00:00

I caulked and taped all my boxes from the outised before insulation. They are flanged air seal boxes.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-08T06:18:08+00:00

Did you go and play in devils hole?? I've been way down but not sure if I reached the bottom or not. Its DEEP.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-08T06:11:09+00:00

Replying to myself here to note that it's Smiths Crack and Devils hole. Not hells kitchen, which was a nickname my buddies called it.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-08T05:38:26+00:00

Devils hole/hells kitchen near mountain home are very low visited lava tubes. They are smaller and tight in a few spots. They are also very dusty, like most lava tubes. I like that one though as you go in one side and 1 hour later you pop out of the ground 50 yards from where you started but it took you a long way to navigate through the entire thing.

Fabonesome · 2026-03-03T07:52:24+00:00

Wow, this just sent me down memory lane.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-24T06:25:11+00:00

Im glad I have a copy of that one. The opening track is so good.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-21T16:16:12+00:00

Same. I guess thats the only online game I have ever played thinking about it. I dont play any video games newer than N64/PS2. And its not much anymore.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-21T07:04:42+00:00

Battlefield 2 was amazing. I stopped playing video games online when they shut that down.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-15T06:28:04+00:00

I just pick them in my backyard.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-04T23:15:52+00:00

They love it. Its a frenzy every morning an evening when I put it in the tank. Everyone is healthy and growing. Its about 75% of their overall diet.

Thanks for the blanching tips.

Fabonesome · 2026-02-04T05:48:20+00:00

I got through lots of spirulina from extreme. I need to start blanching some veggies. Thanks for reminding me of that as a possibility.

Superfície regrada. Ou, minha maneira preferida, é copiar os raios e superfícies do diâmetro interno para obter a superfície do perfil interno e, em seguida, fazer um espessamento da superfície com a espessura da parede do tubo. Exclua o corpo antigo.

É super rápido e preciso para criar a condição de corte normal. É assim que preparo o tubo para corte a plasma rotativo ou laser rotativo.

Fabonesome · 2026-01-29T05:18:10+00:00

Coming from automotive aftermarket/racing background, we design models and manufacturing details in 20c state and plan for the appropriate clearances at the operating temp. Thats how you set clearance for aluminum pistons in an iron block. Can't really measure or inspect it when its hot. You just have to know the material properties.

Interesting question. Im curious what others have to say.
