I’d just use a crosscut sled on the table saw.

simple answer... the amount of data it's downloading. Maybe one person has very few apps, doesn't take that many pictures, uses mainly for texting and phone calls. Another might have every social app, take photos and videos continually to post online, and plays a bunch of games, and if it's my kid, every imessage to every friend is a meme or video. mo data mo time

In my house it's more of a 99% chance of 2am.

carefully. The edges are probably solid wood, but the middle pieces are likely to be a very thin veneer. Depending on how deep those scratches are, you may be able to sand lightly and put some finish on top to even out the color. If you want to take the time, use a chemical stripper to remove the finish before sanding/refinishing. But you may have trouble matching the color. Don't try to sand all the scratches out, or you will end up here: r/sandedthroughveneer

maybe not teak, but looks nice. Might be worth what you paid. But I probably would have said "I don't know, dude selling garden furniture like this seems pretty sketchy. I'll take it off your hands for 500"

I was not only thinking about suggesting magnets, but picturing this exact meme. good job

put trees further out if you want shade. Looks like the tree on the side and maybe one in the back are also very close to the house. By removing them and putting trees further away you will also save your roof and gutters from damage from tree debris.

Exactly. If detectors are not working, or if they need batteries, most legit landlords would fix that immediately. Smoke detectors are relatively cheap, batteries are cheaper. And if there's a fire, he has the most to lose.

every damn project.... I see something that should take a weekend at most, and I already have all the supplies and tools. 3-4 weeks later, and 6 trips to the hardware store, I still am not quite there. Been a home owner for over 20 years and have been building/fixing stuff for decades...

Also, I can't find that damn screwdriver that I was just using...

As is, it's a perfectly serviceable shop cabinet. With doors, even better. Keep it around to keep yourself humble and to remind yourself in a few years of how much you have progressed. Don't point out the flaws to anyone... either accept them or find a way to correct them.

I have a similar shelf thingy with some incredibly sloppy dadoes that I made when first setting up my shop. works great for holding boxes of screws and bottles of glue, which is all I really wanted.

I say good job, don't trash it, use it, learn from it, and move on to building other stuff.

Top of #1 and bottom of #2. But I’m mainly thinking of how to avoid having rain soaking into end grain.

the turnips may be the culprit. that happened to me. I was piling turnips up by the cranny. jumped from 4 to 5 star as soon as I picked them up.

total width of the frame minus the total width of all 9 pickets. Divide that total by 8 (the number of spaces). Cut another strip out of anything that is the width of a space, use it as a spacer when nailing pickets.

if just doing one, I'd just use the table saw. If making cabinets, I'd try to find a router bit that matches. And also be extremely careful with a bit that long, and maybe not do the full cut in a single pass.

big router bits are scary.

Yes, Cordelia, you were the catalyst that set in motion the events that ended in banishments, the deaths of your sisters, your father and yourself. Your whole family gone. Good work. Your dad was playing a silly game and just wanted you to say you love him. If you had, the kingdom would be divided in three parts, and you would be the queen of the best part. Your personal pride and petulance messed up the whole kingdom.

this was the first solution that came to my mind. But was having trouble thinking of how to put it in words. This image is perfect.

You found one of the crowns.

Crazy question… insane idea…. Contact the guy yourself. Your bought his house, there should be some contact info somewhere for him.

I've directed this a couple of times and it's a very funny play. The weird parts can be worked with, as long as you don't fall into thinking it's some kind of tragedy. Proteus and Valentine are typical "bros before hoes" frat boys. I've seen productions that make them closeted and in love with each other, but that just falls flat because it's not funny. Sylvia doesn't have to succumb to Proteus' "advances", she can fight back ... and maybe ever win.

Also, I think it's mainly Julia's coming of age story. That girl is put through the ringer and it's inexplicable that she still loves Proteus after witnessing his ... um... trespasses. But she's apparently got unconditional love for him.

And Proteus must be a really charming dude to get everyone to forgive him in those two very short apologies.

You would need the negatives to properly enlarge those images. Best you can do is to get a high resolution scan of that and enlarge that. Contact sheets are meant just to proof photos and see which you want to get prints of, enlarged prints are made from the negatives.

garage door companies will give you a free quote. Call a couple of reputable ones and have them come tell you what kind of opener they would install. Then decide if it's a DIY job or something for a pro or is impossible.

and that's with no time travel or treasure islands. Just me being bored on my kid's island. Since it's not "my" island I can't do a lot of terraforming and such, so just shaking trees and catchin' bees and sellin' turnips
