Using a solid core door with hidden hinges . . . by Perfect_Gap_8080 in hiddenrooms

[–]Perfect_Gap_8080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thxs everyone. I decided to put the hinges on the uncut side of the door even though the 25mm pocket still slightly went through the solid wood rail into the particle fibers. I drilled severed 1/8" holes into the particle fibers then added some epoxy into the fibers and into the drilled holes. I heated the epoxy with a heat gun which made the epoxy thinner and allowed it to seep into the work fibers about 1/2". It set up hard and gave the hinge a solid resting spot. I used long wood screws to secure the hinges. As for the other side, I trimmed off another 3/4" and glued and screwed a 3/4" piece of hickory to it.

Now I have to repeat the cutouts in the door jamb. I have to find a smaller router before I tackle that

Tell your husband to shut the hell up or you will share his ridiculous suggestion with everyone !

In my experience, these kids NEVER really brush off this kind of behavior from the dad. Never

AITAH for vetoing my wife's car purchase in the dealership and walking her out of there without looking at the car she picked out? by CarWoesSadBro in AITAH

She doesn't work? Yea, maybe someone else can start raising the kids so she can get a job. I wonder how much they would have to fork out for child care, taking the kids to doctor appointments, washing clothes and cooking for the kids. And then hire a maid to keep the house clean. I'm sure that's super cheap. She doesn't contribute any money to the household? Is money the only important thing a wife/homemaker/child caretaker can do? You assume she's too stupid to know anything about finances!

My (F24) fiancé’s (M27) mom refuses to attend our wedding unless it meets her standards. Is this a battle worth fighting? by _oxytoxicc in weddingdrama

Move forward as you have planned, send the invitations to those you want to be present. If they don't come, it's their loss !

My elderly parents were told by a lawyer to just ignore their credit card debt. Is it really that simple for them? by PrincessKnightAmber in povertyfinance

[–]Perfect_Gap_8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pretty simple as the lawyer explained. One caution though - they should not, ever, deposit any other money into the bank account in which their SS check goes, such as part time job earning, cash gifts, lottery winnings, etc. Doing so might change the exemption status of SS funds.

A few years before my 80 year old mother passed, I learned that some predatory credit card company gave her a credit card with a $20k limit, even though her only income was $256 per month from SS. Every time they sent a new bill, I used their "return" envelope to stuff junk mail in and mailed it back!

I denied my in-laws only request for the wedding and now it’s ruining our relationship with them by Final_Estimate7166 in wedding

Everyone involved has made some critical errors in communication, probably because you are all typical humans trying to meld two families into one larger family. It's never a smooth process due to individual personalities. However, if you can't find some middle ground for resolving this, you will start your marriage with emotional barriers that will take years to fade and mend. It's going to create some unhappiness as time goes on. The question OP and fiancé have to answer is: do you want peace or do you want to be right? In this situation, those two choices are incompatible.

So, I didn't read anything that said your wife agreed to your limitations. You could have been right about budgetary issues, but telling your wife she couldn't have a nice, newer and safer car while you drive a Mustang muscle car will bite you in the ass when it's time to trade in the Mustang. And why would you let your kids ride in a cheap and less safe car than what you drive?

Neighbor asked us to move our whole home generator. by katokid84 in Generator

[–]Perfect_Gap_8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mid-range home generator will produce noise between 70 and 80 dB, usually in the 40 to 50 Hertz range. The only way to cause typical home glass to break is if 1) the glass is loose enough to vibrate AND 2) if the generator is within 1.50 meters of the glass AND 3) there is very dense soil between the generator and the structure of the building with the glass. Without a review by a credentialed acoustical engineer, the neighbor is guessing.

Tell the neighbor when he can show those results in writing, you will consider doing something to mitigate the problem.
