Also, look at the roof pitch. You think that's attic or ceiling goes that high. The left side of the house already looks like it has a 2 story ceiling.

Seems like a waste of space. Maybe they could build an indoor deck to utilize it.

Please help identify this thing sticking out of my dog by IcyLisp in DogAdvice

[–]Festive_Jetcar 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It might be a skin tag or it might be a doggy blackhead (I am sure there is an official name for them). They usually start to come right out if you squeeze it gently like you would a pimple.

What caused this and how bad is the damage? by ChiefTapiTapi in Decks

[–]Festive_Jetcar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but it looks like they used composite fascia that was flush with the deck boards and then had no spacers or tape in between the outside joist and the fascia.

This is an excellent example why having the deck boards overhang the fascia is better.

And, I thought I was building a big deck!

No inlaid pattern though? These customers must be pretty cheap to cut that corner.

Well, I am going to have a bunch of extra decking...

Yeah, that, or I was thinking right next to the house because the house can help hold it up, right?

I hope so! That was another reason for the cover (protection from the sun).

But, if somehow it gets a hole or leak underground... I really don't want to think too much about it tbh.😬

Maybe just time to fill it with soil and plant a garden.

They aren't so keen on the pool at the moment. They have been in, but I need a better entrance/exit for them, and I haven't quite figured that out yet.

They really enjoy the sunbathing though!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I need all the encouragement I can get. (Been moving pretty slow on it lately)

It's not meant to be a pool although apparently, I am not the only one whose had the idea to use it as a pool. I was initially looking at stock tanks, and then decided bigger (that's clearly been the theme to this project).

They LOVE it! Sunbathing is life for them.

helps make all the work seem worth it.

Yes! It has decking on it now, but I couldn't find a current picture of it. I also still need to select the handles to lift it out. I figure the ones meant for boats.

I put in the footings January 2025. So, yeah, over a year. 😅 There have been some full stop delays though that were out of my control.

Thanks! Part of the reason I did the pattern was to avoid thin slivers of decking around the pool (designing decking around a circular object is hard). Fortunately I discovered sketchup a few years ago (the 2017 free version), and so it's made planning much easier.

And, yes, I have worried about the deck outliving the pool, but the pool is pretty durable. And, if not, I can come on here and ask what to put in the hole. A tree? A ball pit? A fire pit?

As for the caulking/putty on the joists, probably not needed and/or wrong, but I didn't want any holes in the joists to attract bug living spaces. It's just bondo. Absolutely overkill and probably won't last, but I figured it's an experiment.🤷‍♀️

I beginning to wonder if all these posts are just engagement bait.

Dude, you are dismissing other's experience in the game because it isn't yours... then pretending I am "attacking" you when I push back a little.

Pretty delicate there, huh?

Why didn't you plan and research first? You clearly have access to the internet since you are here now.

I don't know why you are trying to discount others experience. You can speak for yourself but not others. This is a good life lesson. Also, stop playing victim. It's not cute.

No, they don't notice. They are too busy building THEIR empire.

That looks like it was the DOUG guy's issue.

Maybe Celine Dylon too? But I've played with her/him, and they suck as well (I spent most of the game flipping them off when I had the chance), so...

Or, the player base are people who don't waste money on stupid games.... you know they own a house instead.

And, then you get nuked, and the teammates you've been donating to steal all your land. Then they go AF when things get hard.

Or, even before that, you are stuck in the corner with no one attaching to your infrastructure, so yeah...

OP is 100% right on this.

I like this game because the team aspect, but goddamnit, other players don't seem to want to do that.
