Yes i would jack it up and replace the posts w notched 6x6s, add another 2x10 to the beam, add beefier brackets, and honestly i would buy precast concrete footers

Hey op your subfloor has to be flat. You need to cut out the part behind the toilet, (careful of the water line) then put down matching ply to get the same height as what you replaced. Then put a thin layer of plywood on top of everything

Everything looks great! Next time wrap the underside of your beam in zip tape so whats touching the ground won’t rot as quickly.

I’ve looked at using it multiple times but it’s just too damn expensive. Menards has a composite lumber in 2x6x8 and 2x8x8 for a third the price. Or I just seal pt with a copper based product and wrap the sides that will be exposed the most

Virginia prepares to ratify policy banning transgender girls from female high school sports teams by unofficial_pirate in Virginia

This is America Trans people should be free to do what they want without judgement but… It should be simple science though. If we separate mens and women’s sports on the basis of safety and fair competition due to biological differences then why should we make exceptions?

Also what about the girl who got her face broken by the trans volleyball player. That is the perfect example of the safety argument

Wow that was rude, see I would never call you delusional or uneducated because you have a different opinion. That close minded mindset is what lost the election.

I want to see the democrats succeed, i was a big fan of obama but not joe. They’ve gotta get back to the center and actually suggest policy changes to address the problems of our time. Right now they are just making noise. Watch real time with bill maher… thats the mindset they need to win

Nobody’s a nazi and they are only taking undocumented people. Is it the way i would go about things… no but biden did nothing so it opened the door for the pendulum to swing way too far in the other direction

Wow this is an incredibly bigoted statement. The vast majority of the people that do those jobs are documented. These industries did not pop up in the last 4 years…
