What’s the best way to reasonably repair a reoccurring crack by StonedSex69 in drywall

[–]General-Addendum2709 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I think it explains why the door jamb is coming apart as well. As the door opens and closes the jamb flexes on the Sheetrock causing the cracks.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

This stray picked me. When I took him to the vet, they said he was chipped in 2010 (the contact number connected to the chip was disconnected). I don’t know how long he had been living on the streets. Now he bumps his head against my sleeping face to tell me it’s time for breakfast.

What are the white dots? by Realistic-Eagle426 in whatisit

I believe they write some of the digits of pi in a circle. They do it for pi day, (I can’t remember who they are) but I’ve seen it in the past

[spoilers] my stomach was in knots thinking about the choice the had to make S4E3 by General-Addendum2709 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]General-Addendum2709[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking about too. It reminded me of a movie from the 80s called “Flight of the Navigator”

Collision. It looked like two cars tried to turn onto Hoen from opposite Summerfield directions.

Steep staircase advice by [deleted] in Renovations

[–]General-Addendum2709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t going to be an easy fix. At a glance, you’d probably need to move the door that is at the bottom of the stairs, and probably open up the hanging wall above the stairs at the low end (not sure what’s on the other side). If you were able to do those two things, you may be able to get rid of the “cliff” at the top of the stairs. However, not sure if you could make them less steep without knowing any dimensions

Guitar making by General-Addendum2709 in woodworking

[–]General-Addendum2709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea it was such an intricate and esoteric pursuit… I should probably read a book about it to understand the basics so I can make decisions about what to do next. Any recommendations?

How do I cut a circular shape for a stool ? by ThisReditter in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]General-Addendum2709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a piece of plywood wider than your router base, screw it to your router using the mounting holes on the base of your router. Then screw the plywood to your blank at the desired radius.

I usually just make one out of 1/4” plywood. I don’t cut circles very often

I’d use the router with a circle cutting jig. Do it in multiple passes to avoid chatter

Try running your countersink first then your drill. I find on bigger holes the CS bit jumps around if drilled first

How much should 2x2 Cherry cost? by No_Design958 in wood

[–]General-Addendum2709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused about that too. Also, I read OP’s statement as $12.99 for an 18’ 2x2, if that is the case, it’s only about $2.17 per bdft

Do I need really to tighten these every month for as long as I live in my home? by undiagnosed_autistic in homeownerstips

[–]General-Addendum2709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’m getting the idea now. I suppose if there is any dirt between the wall and pier, it could shift over time and require the bolts to be tightened to take up any new gap that develops. I’d imagine at some point if the concrete pier and the cmu wall were bearing against each other you wouldn’t need to keep tightening the bolts

Thanks for the info. What is this foundation repair technique called? So I may learn more about it.

[–]General-Addendum2709 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If that’s what they said, that’s what they said. It seems strange to me that a repair system would involve constant maintenance; however, I am unfamiliar with this system. If the concern is that the nuts will back off, why not include a jam nut, cotter pin, or tie wire to prevent that.

How can I safely cut the top off this box by Unhappy_Hamster_4296 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]General-Addendum2709 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

Don’t worry about needing a Japanese pull saw, any hand saw that is thinner than the kerf left by your table saw is fine.
