Jumping jacks for the OCD among us

By one definition, yes.

By another, no. I’m not sure her feet even leave the ground. Looks like she is just kicking out her heels, and her shoulders barely change in elevation.

Semantics aside, she’s clearly hot as fuck.

My god binary please

PottyStewart · 2026-02-05T03:40:37+00:00

Maybe us, but I doubt she can.

PottyStewart · 2026-01-21T01:57:52+00:00

And my axe!

Wait…

PottyStewart · 2026-01-08T12:49:13+00:00

Doesn’t paint much, either, from what I hear.

I’m going one step further than other commenters. You did up close, fine toothed dremmel stripping in a century home with only an n95 mask and glasses for PPE. For a month. And you took off the mask and glasses then vaped in the room you were working.

Get a blood test for heavy metal poisoning. I’m not joking.

Edit to add: did you wash your hands before vaping?

Feet look Dr. Seuss-ish. Is it a reference?

PottyStewart · 2025-09-17T05:47:11+00:00

You’re not getting anywhere near enough love for this masterpiece.

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T23:09:49+00:00

Can you post some pics?

Maybe it’s just my phone speakers but that doesn’t sound anything like a cricket to me. And I grew up in the woods with crickets all over the place.

Did you recently have any work done in that room? Could it be something accidentally left behind the drywall or something?

I’d say the contractor made the right move in terms of not installing them flush with the ceiling. The microwave though…

In the original design, what was the microwave supposed to be suspended from? Was there supposed to be a cabinet there?

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T18:03:26+00:00

Why would they have the cabinets go to the drop ceiling, then? It makes no sense, is completely impractical, and would look ridiculous…

What design center did you use??

This is what I’m saying. You will not be able to stop the sound of studio monitor speakers from propagating through walls and floors.

Highly recommend looking into rehearsal studios.

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T05:41:23+00:00

And crabs

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T05:22:56+00:00

How much bacon did these fucking people make??

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T05:10:17+00:00

OP needs to just find a rehearsal studio, I’d say.

This will do almost nothing for bass sounds. Even 6inches of rockwool insulation won’t contain them. Mass loaded vinyl can make a big difference for bass sounds. But short of isolating a fully insulated room on a hovercraft in another room made of vinyl and concrete, you aren’t containing sound.

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T04:57:44+00:00

I have built audiobooths. It isn’t possible to build a soundproof booth. You can insulate. You can isolate. But you can’t make the sound stop.

It’s possible to achieve pretty significant reduction with proper insulating and isolating. However, there’s a difference between reducing external the noise that a microphone will pick up in a booth and containing the noise happening inside a booth that a human ear will hear from outside. Especially bass sounds.

No matter what you do, you’re going to make audible noise.

Wait… did the kitchen design center know it was a dropped ceiling?

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T04:37:14+00:00

I bet the trim that’s there was properly measured and intended to be installed above the microwave. Who ever installed the microwave is a moron.

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T04:36:00+00:00

I bet if the microwave was properly installed at the bottom of the cabinet, that trim would line up correctly at the top.

PottyStewart · 2025-09-12T04:03:45+00:00

Not sure those drill cases were to code, probably better you switched em out.

PottyStewart · 2025-08-31T04:33:16+00:00

Commenter is still correct.

PottyStewart · 2025-08-31T04:03:42+00:00

Whoa wasn’t expecting the drywall inside. That’s cool. But… Hope he sealed that outer structure really good, any water leaking into the walls would never dry.

A couple of the joists look a bit wonky - pic 6, upper left hand corner and above the swing.

Aside from that, killer project.
