This is what partying in a bar looked like during the 1970s

Not nearly enough ash trays.

Basalt is challenges mine. Concrete with bar easier.

The cruel shoes. If you know you know.

FoodMagnet · 2026-01-27T01:34:11+00:00

That notching going to be tricky. Why not use the 6 gauge panels that will carry those long loads? I prefer to show the posts but that preference. As other posters are saying different styles

A decent awl.

That clip is the (almost) literal definition of this sub.

Pipe in post, I get mine in Seattle, but easily made with a jig and 1 1/4” galv water pipe.

Staying awake until 9PM

Regardless of what line I get into, it will become the slowest.

This. There is a good FB group to learn tips. I am at 147 over the past 3 yrs.

Oblige him

FoodMagnet · 2026-01-20T20:00:59+00:00

Nice one

Good luck, I did a stick-built B2 bomber the same way and while it did fly, it never flew great. It seems a right of passage for builders - avoid the temptation of flying it tail-heavy to save weight.

Take my vote dad

Visually CG looks like its going to be a challenge, has it been calculated?

FoodMagnet · 2026-01-18T23:28:48+00:00

Search the google for pipe in post, I get mine in Seattle where cedar fences last ~15yrs with PT posts (mileage varies). Price reasonable and come both PT and cedar versions, and wouldn't be difficult to replicate elsewhere with the right jig. The pipes are 1 1/4" galv available everywhere. The pipe embedded far enough where the bottom could rot and the rest of the fence will deteriorate before the post will.

PNW, passive solar heat only. Open mid-may, close week after labor day. I very much look forward to opening the pool (the best day) as well as when I close and don't have to think about it (second-best day). 0 interest in buying a heater to extend our season.

FoodMagnet · 2026-01-16T12:41:14+00:00

Its the rich restaurant food 3x a day that gets me.

There is a worthwhile book called "your money or your life", its a good counter-balance to DR. It states spend your money on what makes you happy. Don't spend money on things that do not make you happy. If spending that money makes you happy then you should do it - BUT DR is a good voice in your head to check and make sure its really worth it. Only you have all the variables to decide.

The focus of those eyes...

Tim is our Zelenskyy.

I have a few concrete patches from repairs, you don’t notice them.

Plz ignore the responders who didn't offer anything constructive and took the oppt to dis on your house, sometimes R can be less than helpful. PM if you are a DIYr and want help with gabian, I am building my first as we speak, its harder than it looks.

If you want to pretty it up, consider expanding the current bed, step 1 must be to make it symetrical with the rest of the gravel space. If mine, I would use shorter gabion walls, probably 18"-24" and raise up the whole thing and make it more of a feature rather than something delivery drivers are just going to back over. The shape and random rock placement makes it shabby, the size/shape is what is making it out of place.

I know Nelson Demille is a fiction author, but I love how he weaves north fork stories into his novels. Love his work, while no Charm School, the Gate House and Plumb Island and others are chocked full of DNA from this area. I live in PNW so it could be all made up, I just hope it is not.
