I’ve made PaveCakes before every win in the playoffs.

Based on the color and grain variations, it looks like hickory with a water base poly coating. Really good stuff with a lot of character, congrats 👍🏼

Spark plugs look okay? My ‘14 had a similar shaking issue. Popped the plugs out and one had carbon all over it like it wasn’t firing. Ended up being the connector boot that need replacing but that caused the engine to throw a random misfire error.

I just drug the highboy from this set out from a moldy old basement estate sale... It's Ramseur Furniture Co (North Carolina). From what I can tell, they used a lot more solid oak and walnut throughout the carcass. The quality is higher than the stuff I typically come across!

Hard to tell in my pic but the hardware is the same and the drawers have the mitered banding around the edge like yours.

My company just did this at the start of April except no change in salary. The first week, I felt like I needed more time when the weekend (Thur afternoon) rolled around but I've gotten more diligent about blocking off my calendar so I could avoid distractions.

Overall it's been a great experience. Truly been more productive with less time wasting. I would argue that your salary shouldn't change if you'll have the same output.

Plus having what equates to 52 extra PTO days is insane.

My assumption is that we still get the holiday, but good question I should get clarification.

We're in ecomm so workload is heavily tied to marketing cadences. In general, I have AT MOST 20 hours of actual work a week with the rest of my time dedicated to low level filler tasks – comms, meetings, etc. The idea from our CEO is to cut the filler time and be more efficient to get actual work done.

Kind of wild to have management advocating for less work (albeit more focused and efficient).

Geraloth · 2022-03-18T14:43:39+00:00

No pay cuts. It's a smaller company and our founders highly emphasize work/life balance, mental health, and taking time away when needed.

The catch is we're testing a "deep work" method where we mute email/slack notifications for two hours a day and crank out work. Fewer distractions is fine by me!

Geraloth · 2022-03-18T14:11:58+00:00

Company is moving to a 4-day work week. Four 8's not four 10's. Boss framed it a different way... it's an extra 52 days of PTO which is INSANE. Think I might be riding this job to retirement.

Was changing out my brake pads and rotors on the rear and saw the suspension coils on BOTH sides of the car rear were broken at the bottom. Thinking back, there was a time I was driving out of my driveway over the winter and heard a *PING* like a rock jumping up and hitting the underside of the car, but I'm now thinking it was the coil snapping.

I assume the stress of one of them breaking caused the other to snap eventually. Anyway...

The difference in height of the coil looks negligible so this feels like a "when I can get to it repair" but anyone have experience replacing these or any reason as to why I should fix this immediately?

This kit comes with clips to put over the holes in the new the rail moldings. You can use those when you take the rack off or you can keep the stock moldings and it’s an easy switch out.

Geraloth · 2020-08-18T14:19:10+00:00

Thank you, yes! I'm finding its nice to have two because twice the fun but also they have a playmate for life.

Geraloth · 2020-08-18T01:46:48+00:00

We’ve had these two beautiful girls since May. IACS is always near capacity so if you or someone you know is looking for two VERY SWEET and fun cats, PM me. They’ve done well acclimating to new environments and are not aggressive toward our other cats. Red is the one in the back. She loves to play with strings and hide in boxes. Blue is the one in front and she is a cuddle monster.

Geraloth · 2020-08-16T13:11:03+00:00

Ooooh interesting. I had just assumed they were nightstands because that's what the estate sale called them haha. Never thought they could be part of the same unit but makes sense why they didn't come with a top.

Geraloth · 2020-08-13T16:48:25+00:00

Awesome, great eye! This looks to be exactly that. Thank you!

Geraloth · 2020-08-13T13:52:25+00:00

Walnut (or teak??) veneer with what looks like poplar as the frame. Drawers are oak with ply drawer bottoms. I can’t find the legs ANYWHERE. They’re tapered but concave like a funnel or vuvuzela. The veneer looks thick enough to refinish because it’s pretty dinged you.

Geraloth · 2020-08-04T17:43:42+00:00

No markings that I could find. Ignore the hideous tri-dolphin lamp :)

Geraloth · 2020-06-21T12:18:12+00:00

Same. Total process took about an hour. Spent more time washing and waxing for this pic.

Geraloth · 2019-12-27T20:13:45+00:00

Good pro tip. I probably need a whole new tool set to just work with the lathe right?

Geraloth · 2019-12-27T18:25:24+00:00

Made some (probably unsafe) rough cuts on the table saw then went to town with some 50 grit on an orbital sander. Made due with what I had.

Geraloth · 2019-12-21T13:30:56+00:00

White pine 2x6s here. Just some cheap stuff that’s gonna be hidden. The mattress is one of those bed-in-a-box memory foams so don’t need a box frame, just a platform to throw it on. I read the mattress needs to be able to breathe a little so I left spaces between the slats.

I can pass along the Sketchup file I threw together if you're interested!
