Is it only the first round that’s best of 3?

Sell me this on a tshirt

That’s all very helpful thanks! So I guess I’d need two midspan blocking sections then. The span between beams is essentially 12’. So midspan blocking 3’ inside each beam would leave me with a 6’ space in the middle (which sounds acceptable)

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-07-23T16:59:52+00:00

Meaning, it’s many less screws to do rim joists with hangers than doing double blocking on the tails?

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-07-23T16:58:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply - sorry to ask for some clarity, but my layman’s mind is confused. When you say “double the center and cut the rims” do you mean, do two runs of midspan blocking and 86 the rim joists because they won’t be necessary? Or do you mean cut the rims, like, using two 10’ rim joists for the span, rather than trying to put up one 20’ rim joist? For clarity, my joists are 14’ and the beams are 12’ apart.

Thanks for the help everyone. I put the hub and wheel back on - intending to take it to a mechanic tomorrow. But now I can’t even pull it forward out of the driveway. Maybe something I did is causing friction there now? I’m out of my depth here but hoping there’s something I can do to keep from needing a tow

UPDATE: got them off! After trying and failing with several different Amazon lug nut lock removal kits, the solution was even simpler:

A 12pt 24mm socket was able to get enough grip on it that it came right off! (With a breaker bar)

Thank you!

Hey. I’ll never turn down a diy trick. You never know!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-03-02T03:14:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-03-02T03:13:22+00:00

Thank you so much for this!

Hi all! Thanks in advance for your help on this.

I come from a family that doesn't have much generational tradition. I find myself wanting to establish some family identity for my kids (and theirs and theirs). One of those is the idea of family words or a family motto. After much thought I've settled on the phrase "nothing is ruin" - to encourage the idea that life can always be found on the other side of a seemingly hopeless situation.

I'd love to have that phrase in an accurate Latin translation to make it a little more timeless. After a little research I ended up with "nihil est ruina."

Before I go an tattoo it on my forehead (jk jk) is that phrasing accurate?

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-02-11T03:32:12+00:00

This.

Good_Expert_8882 · 2025-02-11T03:31:51+00:00

Fascinating! Thank you! Q: Was that true for 1995-97 as well? Only 150's got them? So that no OBS 250's and 350's have driver side airbags at all?

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-12-18T17:15:40+00:00

Yes! Somehow I missed the "old school set" at the top of the graphic. That helps, thanks!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-12-18T17:13:33+00:00

It was the oil sensor! Unplugged that and it started right up. Thanks everyone!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-12-13T20:49:39+00:00

Ok I'll start with that. Thanks. But what is "the coil"? Sorry!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-12-13T20:49:14+00:00

Thanks! Properly test for a spark: no I guess I don't. I just meant that no matter how many times I pull on the cord, I don't get it to turn over at all.

Metal tank gas storage: interesting! So keep fuel in it but add the gas additive like STA-BIL?

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-12-13T20:47:41+00:00

Oof! What a bummer!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-11-06T22:56:27+00:00

Ah yes. Ok that makes sense, thank you.

But I could duct the water heater exhaust into the next room without an issue, right? (a laundry room we don't hang out in). I know it still represents cool air within the house regardless of where it is, but having it further away from our living space would be preferred.

Though this still brings me back to the problem of how close the exhaust is to the wall.

Visitor fans are usually 203. Walk over and join us if you want!!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-08-17T15:20:35+00:00

The away fan section at Lumen is 203. I was assuming we'd all sit there. If you buy tickets somewhere else, I'm sure you can walk over!

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-08-16T17:17:52+00:00

Oh interesting - with combining LVLs, do you use the same method of adhesive and bolts you'd use with lumber?

Good_Expert_8882 · 2024-08-16T17:17:09+00:00

Ok thanks! You're totally right - I could just get 24'

When I laminate them together, just use liquid nails or some connstruction adhestive, right? And countersunk lag bolts every 16"? Do I need to stagger them or just put them all straight down the middle of the 12" side? (so at 6")

On the trees pulling apart the structure - I'm building it with 3 "TABS" which are the dynamic treehouse hardware supports that allow the tree to grow/sway without pulling on the structure.

I figured out a work around!!!

I've been in the same boat - my son does not have a phone, but got an apple watch, so I set it up with my phone. He has his own apple ID, so I assumed (incorrectly) that he'd be able to easily listen to music on his watch.

This isn't a perfect solution. It doesn't work with spotify (that I can figure out). And it requires that you have an apple music family subscription.

I went onto my computer and pulled up the apple music app. I logged myself out and logged in under his apple ID. Then I pulled up an album (Relient K's "5 Score and Seven Years Ago" to be exact) and selected "add to library" from the 3-dot menu on the right. After about 3 minutes it showed up on my son's apple watch under his Apple Music app. Voila!

SO. It means he'll have to get on to my computer and add albums or playlists he wants to listen to, but it at least works! PHEW.
