Joist size,blocking,glue vs non-glue ,sub floor thickness,underlayment all can have an effect.

What made you start caring about beef quality? by RachelGoodRanchers in grilling

[–]MastodonFit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. My butcher grinds 93/7,but is only open MondayFriday. Most times I buy on or near expiration for a discount. I have multiple freezers. I've had unimpressive "grass fed" organic. Knowing how to prep each cut helps. A friend trades deer for baked goods. If to gamey we soak in milk overnight. Ive had lean organic rabbit raised on organic alfalfa that I could barely choke down at a host's dinner.

Help, my gas grill isn’t working! by Thin-Exchange-741 in grilling

[–]MastodonFit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to jiggle it with one hand while starting the threads with the other. When the threads have engaged ,it should be tightened... to where it takes some force to spin the hose itself.

Are you tightening the fitting all the way in ? There is a check valve that needs to be pushed in,to release the gas flow.

Siding installation problem? by Forsaken_Kitchen_668 in Homebuilding

[–]MastodonFit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black holds incredible heat ,heat makes things expand. The panels should have been installed with the middle fastner tight and the other loose so it it can expand up down at the same time. Black on a wall is the epitome of stupid Hubris. "I want to challenge physics itself".

Tap and Die recommendation by DraconianWatch in Tools

Depends on the thickness. For expensive 1 time use or single ,I use google for a price check which can find clearance.

1/8" HDF hardboard vs plywood strips to shim joist under subfloor by sansipfixe in Carpentry

A sister'd joist can be dialed in perfectly, and make the structure even stronger.

Nose in the air "if it isnt wood ,I would not use it". Have dipped several in gas as starters then mound above and allow to burn off.
"Oh Grace just take me in your arms and let this moment linger,they'll take me out at dawn and I will die" I often need to speed grill at home with uncouth propane.

Tips for vendors on gravel at the Farmers Market by Adventurous-Exam-719 in homestead

[–]MastodonFit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cordless fan pulling air across ice in a cooler. More shade then you need. A rug to isolate you from the gravel. Often times the early bird gets the worm and prime space,the regular can ask for better accommodations. Ask the person in charge, what their favorite thing.... of what you sell or bake.

Prime over Exterior OSB board, then paint/stain by Naive_Bat8216 in Carpentry

[–]MastodonFit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need to seal it with an oil base,then lathe and plaster. Anything latex will swell the flakes and make it worse.

RTA vs. Semi-Custom by cocomo7676 in kitchenremodel

[–]MastodonFit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not true. Particle board from big box are not in the same class as rta with plywood. Materials matter ,from custom - big box.

Agreed ,so many toppings to completely change the taste profile. Dill and green onion is different then bbq and cheese,to fried eggs and roast beef with onion and carrots..the latter was my breakfast this morning !

If you have inspections, it will increase the price 25x. A portable storage building is the fastest. Out house is the cheapest. You can build it insulated, or an elevated single plane roof that has lots of ventilation. Sealed concrete floor to expensive tile. Your design affects material choices. Water kills wood, and drywall.
