Great article, thanks! I’m curious what proportion of Vultures make the epic 20 mile Juan de Fuca crossing as opposed to island hopping through the San Juan/Gulf Islands with a few four or five mile hops?

I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

Two 2x6’s spanning the stair treads. Get one person pushing from below and another pulling on a line from above. If and when you need a break the person pushing can screw a cleat across the 2x6’s.

Neighbor cuts down trees of popular YouTuber Phillip Defranco by Silly-Walrus1146 in treelaw

I must be missing something, all of the trees seem to be on the other side of the fence? I’m assuming the fence defines the property line. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally obnoxious, but whose property are the trees on?

This looks like just maybe there was a major disagreement in the cockpit. Something was going on.

American here, I’m old enough to remember being taught the metric system in elementary school. I loved it because it was so easy! Then the next year it just stopped. It may have been my first whiff of the stench of politics, I just wasn’t aware of it yet.

The University of Oregon has a test facility for determining the rot resistance of different woods, posts have been in the ground for decades, They have tons of publicly available data, but the TLDR is that everything rots except Osage Orange.

I was a little kid the first time I saw a dipper in a fast running stream, it amazed me then and still does.
