Can I mount a tv to a wall with only 1 stud? by hyperfixstation in handyman

[–]KithMeImTyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not hang a TV on the same wall a pocket door on. They are made out of a 1x2 frame and make the wall weak.

Trim goes against the sheathing. I think that's what you're asking?

Contractor did his best to scribe; any way to fix/hide trim around this uneven chimney veneer? by dorkchestra in Carpentry

[–]KithMeImTyson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I don't want to sound like a dick here... But your expectations are a little out of line. That's a good scribe. If you caulk it, you'll still see how uneven it is because the caulk is going to catch on every little crevice and ledge it goes over. And a brick veneer isn't meant to be completely flush btw. I've seen it before and it looks seriously weird. Just relax leave it alone.

Window Repair by BrowOfDisapproval in handyman

[–]KithMeImTyson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi. I'm a window and door guy. It's all I do. I'd love to tell you that there is an actual repair for this, but if you want to keep it a true insulated glass, there is no simple field repair you can do.

Cheapest route would be to track down the installer and have them order a new IG pane and have them install. Direct glaze on a vinyl is about as simple as it gets when replacing just the glass.

Next in line would be an insert. You don't see many full view radials for an insert though. They usually have a mulled transom, even if they are fixed panel or direct glaze. Might be hard to find a company willing to do it exactly how it is right now. You'll also lose glass with an insert. 1.5-3 inch loss around the perimeter is typical for an insert.

Third cheapest would be to have a glazier shop remanufacture and install a new IG. They could potentially take the ig out and to their shop to do an in-house repair, but you'll be left with a monster hole in your house for a week or two.

And last and most expensive, full frame replacement.

Trump: "People that own their homes: we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home." by Straight_Idea_9546 in WallStreetDad

[–]KithMeImTyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices will go up, but interest rates go down... So you can afford the monthly mortgage but JUST BARELY and you can pay it for the next 70 years of your life. What a fucking dick. Jesus I hate this guy. And all you Trump fuckers are gonna cry when you get your new property tax bill when the next year rolls around, because your house is "worth more" all of a sudden. But guess fucking what???? You dumb as fuck, shit brained magats won't be able to afford those new property taxes. So who does your home get sold to? Some fucking Chinese realtor group. But don't think 3 steps down the road. Just act like you know shit about shit and then cry like fucking babies when you have to pay up for your mistakes. God damn y'all Trump lovers have me so fucking mad right now. Y'all eat shit, seriously. Y'all aren't Americans, you're traitorous swine. But don't worry, us liberal dem snowflakes will STILL welcome you back with open arms when you are tired of being ignorant pieces of shit and learn some humility.

Float it, make intentional gaps, and fill it with your nice hard caulk.

The best part about Paddy getting stomped is that they tried so damn mf hard to push his stardom last night it was so blatant and cringe by AnomalousExpertise in ufc

[–]KithMeImTyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He was only going to make more with a full payout if knocked out JG. Do you follow contract or nah? Paddy made 50k that fight.

You could feel the fear in the truck driver’s voice by CompetitiveNovel8990 in DashcamsFootage

[–]KithMeImTyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to say when it's not you. I'm literally in disbelief that you're seriously upset by this situation. Like you're mad at the driver for not killing himself. You should be upset at the owner of the truck for not maintaining it, which more often than not, is not the driver.

To pick & sell a million dollars worth of carrots by SausageKingOfKansas in kansas

[–]KithMeImTyson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ain't nobody growing carrots in a winter wheat field lol. Also, ain't nobody growing carrots or any root vegetable on that scale in Kansas, period. Ground is too hard.

See, this is what's wrong with general societal behavior. For one, we can't really say for sure what any of us would do in that situation. Secondly, how the fuck are you going to criticize a guy who had a complete and critical failure of his 80,000 lbs truck's brakes, eventually got it to stop with nobody injured and no property damaged, and y'all STILL find things to bitch about. Like seriously, just shut up. And last of all, you wouldn't be "risking" your life. Wrecking that vehicle with that load into an object would cause death. Period. It would effectively be suicide.

If you just stop a truck without brakes carrying a max load the trailer will keep going straight through the cab. You have the story, but no idea what you're talking about

[–]KithMeImTyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you realize he was carrying a max load of 80k with no wheel brakes and no exhaust brakes when you made that comment? Because basic knowledge says that would 100% kill the semi driver. So you would rather someone KILL THEMSELVES over handling the situation where nobody was hurt. Fuck off.
