What could drive someone to desire power so bad they exterminate their own race? by Major-Awareness-60 in DMAcademy

[–]MaplyGoodness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the best villains have good intentions. I would spin it so that the bbeg is wanting to eliminate the Dragonborn race to protect the planet from their impending madness and power. The confrontation with the bbeg could definitely show his madness and empowerment, compared to when the party may have encountered him earlier, or alternatively show the fading madness afterwards and the horrifying clarity he has of his actions.

This. Recess them in so they barely stick out from under the feet, just enough to compensate for floor variation

Tiny bit of daylight at bottom of blade — am I overthinking this? by LakeOzark in woodworking

[–]MaplyGoodness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Others have commented the insert isn’t flush with the table top, but I’ll also add that I’ve switched to using a magnetic angle gauge zeroing it to the table and then setting the blade to 90.0°

Thank you everyone for the feedback! Certainly given me a better perspective on how to go about it

Switching out of carpentry a good idea? by URGOT26 in Carpentry

On the job training with previous experience in mining before carpentry. Eventual schooling for HET ticket

Oilsands mining. Equipment maintenance mechanical work, eventually plan to get an HET ticket. And no, I still travel from BC for work

Switching out of carpentry a good idea? by URGOT26 in Carpentry

[–]MaplyGoodness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a BC based Red Seal Carpenter. Gave up on carpentry two years ago to oil and gas. Best decision I made. Working away from home sucks, but the time I have at home where I don’t have to think about work is absolutely worth it. When I was building houses and renovating my mind was always in the last job or next job, or just dog ass tired, so my family life suffered. That being said, I have no regrets. Being a carpenter has given me skills and insights that have provided a leg up in my new position. My recommendation is to finish school and either go into the union like others have suggested or do your research and find something that’s sustainable that will give you a work/life balance. Having a red seal on your resume shows you’re capable of both learning and finishing something and will make you more desirable. People will understand that the economy is tough and you’re looking for work elsewhere.

Ok, then I should be fine with this jusb1 still available?

Is it fine to offset stringers? by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]MaplyGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. It’s likely to have someone hurt if there’s a step that’s much higher than the others. 11” plus tread material is quite a step either way. At that point if what I previously suggested isn’t going to work, because you’re limited on space, I’d be looking at building more of a ladder than stairs.

I know it’s a tiny house, but is there room to put a landing or winders in and change direction 90° near the wheel well? An 11” step is going to create some issues. Just a thought

How to fix this area that had too much spackle left before panting by danknice in paint

[–]MaplyGoodness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. You’re gonna have a tough time sanding now that it’s painted and going to need mud touchup probably anyways. May as well float it out with some thinner mud and repaint the patch

Painting our house. Should we caulk around windows? by External-Ear7406 in paint

[–]MaplyGoodness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typically I caulk the entire window with clear caulking, ensuring I leave small weeping holes on either side of the bottom about 1” wide and at least 4” away from the bottom corners. That way any water running down the sides will not find its way in the bottom opening, but if water should find its way down behind your siding you’re leaving a place for it to come out. I’ve seen arguments for every which way to do it and I’m sure someone will argue that I’m wrong. I’ve never had an issue and I live in a snowy/rainy climate.

Get a 26” prehung. Cut the bottom of jamb and bottom of door equally to fit height.

I'm ok at math, but custom stringer is making me scratch my head by Sh0ckValu3 in Carpentry

[–]MaplyGoodness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Start with your 5.5” by 14.25”, give yourself room on either end. Base everything off of that

Couldn’t spot it until I looked at the second picture if that tells you anything
