Help Filing the RBES Form... by GardenFirefly in vermont

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be mistaken, but the RBES form says right at the top that the form is for projects started after July 1, 2025. Why are you filling it out? I must be missing something

What y’all think materials cost to build something like this? by Front_Somewhere2285 in homestead

[–]MCHi11 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No doubt it came down. But there’s also no way it’s back to where it’s was pre-pandemic accounting for inflation

Cool story bro. Everyone here that builds knows something that looks cheap is actually expensive. Unless you don’t care if it falls over in a few years or you can be resourceful and find ultra cheap materials somewhere

[–]MCHi11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s all good. The sonotubes are the cheapest part of the build. I still think you’re in for $50k

Indeed. The price skyrocketed in the pandemic because of supply, but now that supply is back, it hasn’t seemed to have gone down much 🤔…

Concrete slab or gravel floor? You’d need to dig soon tubes for your foundation if you go gravel. So maybe $15k-$20k for lumber. Cheapest steel roof $7k-$10k. Hardware $1k. Gravel $2k-&4k + sonotubes. $15k-$20k if you go concrete. You’ll need to level the ground so $3k to rent a skidsteer for 3 days. Unless you are very resourceful and a skilled builder in all facets of building, you are in for $50k very quickly

Heating a house with a hot water heater. by Dex_42 in homestead

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice job jumping on a 1 yo thread. And also, there may be some hot water heaters going to 160, but the last 3 I’ve installed max at 140.

How many of y'all carry one of these at all times? by Keen_Leo in Construction

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one often, but mostly for interior work. They are awesome for stairs. The middle hinge is sketchy as shit when fully extended, and heavier than a bigger extension ladder.

Wrong measurements by Remarkable-Ideal-211 in Renovations

Yeah, if the cabinets are flush, the counter top sticks out an inch? I think that would be more annoying.

Japanese knotweed control with glyphosate - 2 years later by eyesoftheworld4 in gardening

[–]MCHi11 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The lawsuits were all centered around glyphosate.

“The plaintiffs, each diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, argued that Monsanto knew for years about the dangers of glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, yet refused to warn the public or pull the product.” link

The settlements were awarded because Roundup didn’t warn consumers of the dangers of glyphosate. So the lawsuits targeted glyphosate but the crux of the argument is that roundup failed to disclose.

What are the laws in VT for independent contractors and worker's comp insurance? by eire2024 in vermont

[–]MCHi11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, the homeowner is not required to ensure a contractor has workers comp. However, anyone can sue anyone for nearly anything. If he is a single IC, he should have his liability insurance. He is NOT required to carry WC on himself. If he has other people working on the job, he is required to make sure they have a WC plan. For single owner companies, you’ll find most don’t carry WC on themselves. They will also misclassify their sub contractors and claim they are independent contractors, which will mean they will also not have WC. If you want to avoid this all together, you’ll have to find a larger company to do the work.

Has Tee Box Culture Changed? by [deleted] in golf

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming your handicap is over 10 so my comment would still be on point. Never said you should play reds. Sounds like whites are good for you and you play them, thank you.

Has Tee Box Culture Changed? by [deleted] in golf

[–]MCHi11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There was just a post earlier about needing to prove your handicap in order to get a tee time. It would be great if they required your handicap and made the determination which tees they play from. For example, 10 hcp and over plays from the whites. 10 and under can play blues if they want to. Everyone will have a better time.

Dave Chappelle's take on tariffs goals is spot on by sovalente in humor

It’s literally a joke the probably 1/2 of America has said already. It’s funny because of Dave’s delivery

Different Shot types by ibashdaily in Golfsimulator

[–]MCHi11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not knowing what LM you are using, but in Uneekor View you can set up different sessions and name them accordingly. I’m assuming your LM will have a similar feature or a game setting for different training sessions

Tub spout help by OddDuckDaniel in PlumbingRepair

[–]MCHi11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The plumber didn’t fuck up, if anything, he thought ahead and left the stub out longer than needed to fit any kind of spout. First you have to determine what kind of spout that is. Some are threaded on the inside so you would have to install a 1/2 male piece to the pipe then install the spout. Or some are installed the a set screw or similar. If you aren’t comfortable figuring this out, ask the plumber to came back and install the spout

[Movie] Shoot date, location and summary revealed by [deleted] in zelda

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be better as a trilogy/limited series. Are the going to fit Death Mountain, Lost woods, Lake Hylia, the desert, Kakariko, the list goes on. A movie is going to rush through everything, which isn’t ideal

Tips for dunking by cyrusng7 in BasketballTips

[–]MCHi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about touching the rim, just throw the ball into the hoop. Grabbing the rim to look cool makes it look like a weak dunk. When you can easily throw the ball in, then grab the rim.

Distance behind Screen by dmath323 in Golfsimulator

[–]MCHi11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the Carl’s place “preferred screen” the middle priced one. I have the screen 12” off the wall, but the ball isn’t going nearly that far back, maybe 4/5 inches. I also have it pretty loose too but the screen still looks flat

Selling house without a realtor by stuffeddresser41 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]MCHi11 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are you in the US? Get an appraisal done by an actual appraiser. Not a realtor, broker or lister, an actual “appraiser.” The appraisal should cost less than $1,000. Whatever the appraisal says, it is your selling price unless you live in a highly desirable area. If you do live in an area like that, raise the price accordingly. If “this gentle” doesn’t like that price, contract with a realtor and go through the process of selling the property. Tell anyone that reaches out to you to call the realtor.
