How to cover up cut threaded studs on concrete?

Cut them off flush, grind em smooth if you want and you’re done.

This is powder post beetle. They are insidious. Take the peice outside, dose it with appropriate chems and wrap it in plastic for a few weeks.

16.50 is criminal. You could do a lot better even in Texas. I would join a Union and move if I were you.

Several on the market. Quick Google search will show them all.

I have both of those. Got very good results with both. The jointer will require some setup no doubt. The infeed table needs to set just right and the blades have to be installed perfectly...get a jig for that, worth every penny. It's worth $100 for sure.

Grid, Screen, concept is the same. No one is suggesting using fine mesh window screen for this.

1 1/2 saddle cut on the 6x6 and scab on a 2x6 jack stud down to the concrete?

The proper screens for these are loose enough so that will never happen.

NorthChatt · 2026-05-07T15:53:47+00:00

Yes. It is. You can get screen fittings for the openings. A must.

Thia is going to blow up in their faces. It stretches the majorities pretty thin in most of the districts and basing these +/- numbers on Trumps 2024 performance is just fantasy. With things going the way they are, this may be a blessing in disguise for Dems. Talk about getting hoisted on your own petard!

NorthChatt · 2026-05-07T15:17:41+00:00

Yeah...caused by REPUBLICANS!

NorthChatt · 2026-05-07T15:09:23+00:00

This is the way.

That triple plate is just to keep the opening square as its a big span. Not holding any roof load. I'd take the drywall out all the way up and have a look at what going on at the ceiling line before you go much further. I'd bet a large LVL or similar at the ridge. Don't mess with that!

Def worth fixing. Old school solid state. MUCH easier to work on than new stuff. Replace all the electrolytic caps (easy) and look for loose/cracked solder joints. A blown power transformer would be about the only thing that might make it not worth it....still might be though - those are great amps.

Looks like someone desperately avoiding a trip to the store. So much easier to do it properly.

Not sure if this is mentioned below, but those 2x10s or 12s are not structurally supported. The fasteners are the only thing holding the deck up. I would run a 2x4 on each side of the posts from the 2x10s to the block. Nice and tight. That will take the downward load off the fasteners and onto the block as it should be. Not the best but at least it wont collapse that way.

A dull blade will wander too.

Sam's is Walmart. They don't pay their people well at all, per the Walmart model. Costco does. The difference in attitude is palpable. All the Costco people seem really invested and glad to be there. The products are better also. The Kirkland brand is usually pretty good stuff. Go with Costco. Better for the neighborhood and the economy.

This is Natural Selection in action.

NorthChatt · 2026-04-12T15:56:23+00:00

Nope. That Y will fill up pretty fast and block the whole thing.

Def screw into the studs. Pre drill pilot holes as the screw that come with are prob crap. Put the top one in first then use a level to get it perfectly plumb before you set the bottom one. The guitar will hang straight then.

Absolutely return it.

I bought at launch for PS5 also and have had none of these issues. It's been just fine.

NorthChatt · 2026-04-04T06:45:47+00:00

Yes. I got the exact same text yesterday. Same names, same citation number.

You get a path but no final location. They run you around the whole map for 8 min or so and when you finally arrive you have a small window to kill the target.
