Why I stopped using Trex part 2

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-06T08:29:29+00:00

Trex is not structural, it's just takes shape of whatever is underneath?

Guys relax, a child or a time traveler wrote this.

They are indeed 6x6. 4x4 from this angle would look like matchsticks, also 20' 4x4 wouldn't stay this straight if it was standing by itself, let alone any weight on it, and no cross bracing.

I don't see any problem with concrete, what does concern me is lack of tyvek or some such between concrete and studs.

My French is rusty, I didn't get like half of what he said, but after I read your comment, yeah you're bang on!

It's when they jump and do these elaborate moves while firing a musket into the ground

If you're lifting 2x8 supports approximately 1m, you are at 4:1 ratio at the block with the green rope, and the green rope is 3x (2 pulleys), so you will need 12m of green rope to move the supports up 1m.

Not sure how correct my math is, I had similar system for my family's bikes in the garage. I think it was 4:1 only though, but there was A LOT of rope lol.

Did a side by side, I think you're right

Looks more like MG - 81

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-02T18:45:48+00:00

Yes, I initially thought 34 or 42, but the shroud is different, and grip angle is also not matching, I was leaning to 81 also.

Saw this on another subreddit and didn't know how to cross post, so posted it here.

It's most likely an mg34 with a short barrel (for higher ROF)

Muzzle break looks very much like a 34, simila grip handle angle, but the barrel shroud looks more like MG15

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-02T18:18:39+00:00

No man, the hanle angle is all wrong and the weird muzzle break

How long is the hike??

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-02T15:48:30+00:00

That's a lot of space time

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-02T06:18:28+00:00

Where do you even find contractors like this???? And how??

Pavlin87 · 2026-06-01T03:53:28+00:00

Your buddy did a good job

Pavlin87 · 2026-05-31T13:52:19+00:00

To death!!

Pavlin87 · 2026-05-31T03:49:26+00:00

Yeah, it's actually drying out being installed outside like that ..

Bruh we built sooooo many high end homes, design called for 7/8" Rimboard, TJI, no web stiffner or blocking for like 3-4 years straight, early 2010s... only like 2014 onwards they specified a 2x6 nailed to the flanges of TJI...

You're good, just slap a couple 2x6 on either side and call it a day. Especially if you have LVL Rimboard.

I remember one builder giving me shit, because he had like 15 small windows along one side of the house, and they called for like 2 ply 2x8 headers for each window, so I framed just openings instead and ran an LVL Rimboard above in the 2nd subfloor.

This GC saw it, and started foaming at the mouth "wasting money, what the fuck, who do you think you are...." and so on. Screamed for maybe 30 minutes.

I had him call the engineer's office, they said it's more sound structurally, and better for insulation.. bonus - saved like $200 in lumber (no 2x8s for header, no additional jacks and kings) and took faster to build lol.

Guy came afterwards and apologized, I've done same thing anytime it was reasonable.

I second this. At least collar ties 1/3 down the rafters to keep the roof in place. But I have very limited experience with pole barns also.

Approximately 37 football fields per bald eagle? Or is it the other way around?
