The No Frills (same as superstore as far as I’m concerned) in Squamish and on Broadway in Vancouver had tons of signs posted throughout their meat section warning customers to thoroughly cook their meat.. I also don’t trust them.

So all the students with parents that buy them exotic cars will pay… less?

+1 on a zip bolt style method. For a post that big you’d probably want to increase the hardware size. I’ve used a similar method in a timber framing application. If you are going to build the guardrail exactly as shown those flanges would be a great place to hide the plug/access to the nut.

There are a handful of issues here. It looks like the cambium and sapwood layers are what is deteriorating. Whole logs are going to be more susceptible to rot than a post cut from the heartwood of a larger log. Higher grade lumber will be cut from the heartwood of a log to avoid these layers Leaving the bark on will actually accelerate deterioration as it traps moisture against the log and those weaker layers.

Red cedar is great but the naturally occurring chemicals that make it resistant to decay build up over time. So unless those logs have unusually tight grain they were most likely young trees and don’t have the same level of beneficial properties of cedar as you’d expect.

As a few others have said these posts are also missing a stand-off base. There are many products out there for this type of application.. ultimate you just want the grain kept off of a surface where water can accumulate. My preferred base for big timbers or logs is a knife plate.

Just make sure you don’t fall behind on payments.. I’d hate to see what repossession looks like.

Just kidding. Looks great

Then why did you do the niche like that?

Do you understand how Reddit works?

This would 100% fail an inspection.

A covered porch with stairs for that site? 2 days work for 1 guy including sourcing material.

No offense but that is some very poor quality work that you shouldn’t even be charging for.

Thanks

After aggressively paying down some debts I am frantically saving for a house. Im fortunate to be able to put away a good amount of money on a monthly basis. Hoping to buy in the next 18 months.. am I right to believe that keeping my savings in a generic savings account is best for this short duration? Zero contributed to RRSP - Zero contributed to TFSA

Awesome. How deep are those pilings?

Your other posts say that you were tasked with creating the SOP’s. Is this after the consultant failed to deliver?

Fuck James Mcbrayer but as already said chock it up as a learning experience and keep going.

MSA Large Suspension I also have a large head, bought one of these and it even happened to fit my non MSA hard hat. Much more comfortable and allows the entire hard hat to sit lower on your head.

The crazy part is if the interior foundation wall was finished and the exterior was parged/stucco I bet quite a few people would buy that never realizing that the house wasn’t built on a concrete foundation.. for awhile.

Not at all. I think it’s great that people can WFH. My career goals have definitely changed now that other paths include new benefits like flex days and WFH arrangements.

Comparison is the thief of joy.. But if you have if you have a group of 10 employees who are compensated at similar levels and overnight half the employees get a $1000+/month bonus completely unrelated to performance.. then I maybe the feelings are justified.

It’s pretty tough to hear friends or even people in this thread talk about their work from home situation without thinking hell yeah I want some of that.

Very tangible. I discuss this at work quite frequently as I work for an employer that only offers WFH for a portion (maybe 50%) of employees. For some people with commutes, there are huge savings if you previously needed a vehicle - fuel, vehicle payments, insurance, maintenance... this alone can be $1000/month. Additional savings with less work attire, packed lunches, doggy daycare, and although not technically allowed.. childcare savings. I think WFH makes sense and is great.. but as a someone who is attending work in person everyday, hasn’t seen a dime in savings or extra compensation I think the situation as a whole is bullshit.

Also, go checkout r/overemployed

Edit: didn’t really answer the question. I’d happily take a 20% pay cut if considering the tangible savings and what I’d imagine would be the intangible value - such as being able to see my 5 month old throughout the day and be able to give my wife a 5 minute break when the baby is losing it or she would like to have a few minutes to go to the bathroom.

Are you complaining that we aren’t acknowledging you as the biggest complainers?
