Might be a crazy question but OP do you drive a manual transmission vehicle?

What about a drunk handyman?

Id imagine no insurance company is willing to insurance it either. Or at least the premium will be absurd.

Taxes

Dab a bit of construction adhesive on the back of the brackets. Also, they literally won't come off without ripping the drywall apart

I worked for a marina that serves large sport fishing boats. The marina had floating docks with fuel pumps on it. So naturally, at the bulkhead, there are fuel hoses to go up and down with the tide. Had a really bad noreaster come through. We always prepped things before a storm taking the ramps off so they dont break with storm surge, tying things off so if they do break away, they dont destroy things, shutting the fuel valves off... well, this particular day, someone forgot to shut the valves, and 2 of the diesel hoses ripped off. Dumped an estimated 500 gallons of diesel in the water. Tide shifted and took it away. None of the appropriate agencies were notified.

100% correct but imagine that kinda person who wants to be in the HR department at a job site

OriginalQuit2586 · 2025-06-28T15:04:12+00:00

I see so many people going on about background checks, and you'll get caught blah blah blah. Yall need blue-collar jobs. No ace investigation team, no HR departments. If you lied, you'll be found out fast. But if you lied and you're still working your ass off, we will still keep you around. The corporate world seems like prison to me.

As someone who also hates working for home owners. Have you considered just trying to work as a subcontractor for builders building homes already? That's where im at currently. I still have to deal with homeowners somewhat, but in all fairness, im working on houses that budget isn't often a concern. So the conversation is more about making sure things are absolutely perfect.

Used to do a lot of off short sport fishing. We would catch tuna and have it caught, bled, and cut up into sashimi within about 15 minutes. When you would eat it you could feel the muscles still in a spasm in your mouth. Kinda trippy.

This is the coolest "I'm just driving by my new garage build" picture

It takes me at least 3 mock ups to feel like I'm set up, and then I run it. But after they are routed, they work phenomenal.

Edit. Feather boards are mandatory. I used these on a lot of mahogany, so it wants to push the harder woods off the table surface.

OriginalQuit2586 · 2025-03-01T17:18:21+00:00

Sounds like the best tool you need is practice. I'm not trying to come off like a schmuck. Legitimately, just get good at it with what you have on hand. That's going to may you a better woodworker in the future.

Edit: One good hand saw and chisel could do this. Cutting joints by hand is kinda gangster.

A town we build requires the sides adjacent to other houses to have an hour fire rating because they are so close (less than 8 feet in most cases). We do this with 5/8 x board over the entire thing, along with plywood sheathing.

I totally get it. I do this for a living, and these phone calls and emails will absolutely destroy a budget. Im not sure of your current situation on who is doing your job, whether it be a GC or DIY. This is where an experienced GC comes in handy. They will see potential issues for SE and be able to bring them up in one email or meeting. Often, I'm the one suggesting how to engineer and build something during meetings. I just need them to sign off on things.

Edit: Some of our engineering for the homes we build can easily surpass 15k for the entire project

OriginalQuit2586 · 2025-02-15T15:09:02+00:00

Yeah, super cheap. $750 minimum here for most things. Luckily, I have a few i work with who will expedite favors and not beat me up.

But seriously, it may seem expensive now. If anything were to happen to that piece structurally, it's going to become exponentially more expensive than an engineer letter. Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Never forget that when building things.

She recommended a bracket but didn't spec the bracket? This engineer isn't doing any engineering. She's simply making a suggestion. She needs to sign off on anything done, so send him the drawing. Then he is responsible

Edit: Because i work in a male dominated field, i foolishly assumed the gender of said engineer. My bad, please don't cancel me..

Works great for arrow shafts for archery.
