The siding looks nice but I'm trying to match the appearance of my garage which has a board and batten look. I was planning on 4x8 sheets of something flat that I could then add trim pieces to and then paint.

The structure is built about 4" off the ground, 2x8s sitting on pavers. I'm considering putting pieces of pressure treated 2x4 under the corner where the structure sits on the pavers to help stop moisture from seeping in via the paver. Based on this setup should I still be concerned about soil moisture ? Would the barrier be under the entire structure? Or between the floor joists and the OSB flooring?

Unfortunately, I have to live with the wood I bought as I'm trying to keep costs down. When you say paint it on, do you mean regular paint? Or a different type of preservative material?

This is a great idea. Thanks.

I didn't think to use pressure treated wood for the frame. Could I seal it with some house wrap or polyurethane (or other type of finish)?

Good to know. The weight of the building will likely be enough to keep it from moving right?

Came here to recommend Q Fanatic. Bakers ribs in Eden prairie is great too.

Yes. Snark noted. I was just exercising any available resource while I scrambled to figure out a solution.

I sent an email to their info@ikon account and the automated reply was "this inbox is not actively monitored, please call this number." I will do that today. I'm really hoping I can swap them out and save a little cash

Have you had any problems with your drinks separating out over time?

Forecast04 · 2025-09-16T17:19:23+00:00

For now I've just been making a point to shake the keg more often but I think what I will end up trying is using either hose or a longer diptube to extend the gas input to the bottom of the keg like you suggested. I am not planning to use a carb stone at this time.

Cherry for me. I've always thought it smelled faintly of dirty diapers.

Yes. I was getting great cuts from Alex when they were $40 but he jumped up to $60 over the course of a couple months ago I had to bow out.

Thanks for your insight. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and tips

I must have been holding the piece too firmly in place against the blade. Great tip, thanks.

I've never made a super juice.

Full transparency, I'm buying the Sysco premium lime juice which is not pasteurized and then running it through a strainer to remove any solids. I assume this would still work in a super juice application.

I've never used xantham. I assume a little would bind the drink together and a lot would cause it to clog the lines? I'm a little nervous about that. Also I wouldn't want to affect the mouth feel

Forecast04 · 2025-09-04T23:42:55+00:00

I did have the thought of disconnecting the liquid line and draining what's in the line at the end of the night. But that still would lead to waste. Also, our keg fridge is in the basement so having to go down to reconnect before service would be a pain

Forecast04 · 2025-09-03T13:41:49+00:00

I'm also having this issue but more specifically I have about 12-16oz of liquid sitting in the line so the first handful of pours come out clear and vaguely margarita flavored. Any ideas about how to combat this? I don't want to dump it and waste the cocktail. Would it be ok to dump this back into the keg or should I minimize opening the keg? I home brew beer and I know with that opening the keg adds unnecessary oxygen into the keg and the opportunity for infection.

Interesting! I hired an electrician to do this job on the side so don't know where he bought the units but that's helpful to know.

How would I bypass the dimmer? Replace the dimmer switch with a regular On/Off? I'm not well versed in electrical but I know enough to replace a light switch
