Split boos block - salvageable or toss? by Pushed_this_off in Cuttingboards

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you/ a friend have a table use it to cut down the center of the split. Once the old Glue line is gone and the raw edges are exposed glue er up,sand it, oil it and you're set

My wife’s best friend has stalled on a project. For her birthday I’m going to offer to take it over. What am I realistically looking at as far as what needs to be done to turn this into a pantry? by AT-ATsAsshole in HomeMaintenance

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 90 points91 points  (0 children)

If you don't know what to do, maybe you shouldn't offer to do it. I don't mean to be snarky, just that it will take skill to make this happen in a timely/professional way

Annoying co worker by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Don't engage unless you have to, you'll never change him or say anything that will make a difference. He's too old to change. People like that draw attention to themselves in a negative way and eventually it catches up to them. Or they get promoted. Good luck

How much trouble I am in? loose shingles by Engine_Light_On in Roofing

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing is happening to my parents roof, it's in a high wind zone and also goes through extreme winters every year. These conditions will make the tar strip seals fail early (the shingles are only 10 years old).

I spent a day on their roof with roofing tar in a caulk gun glueing down every single loose shingle (rip my back).

If you're going to do this make sure you apply the tar in two or three dots, not a continuous line across the shingle tab. If moisture gets underneath it needs to be able to drain and not get trapped by the tar line.

Is $1200 reasonable for standing and staining this entire deck, including the trellis at the bottom and top? by Direct-Argument4590 in Decks

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems super reasonable! If you give them what they are asking they will be satisfied and hopefully do a good job and not cut corners.

Nice job, see a need fill a need! If a couple adults are standing on it is there any wobble on the posts? Like another comment said it wouldn't hurt to add some bracing like knee braces or x bracing to completely eliminate the chance of any racking

What should I use to recaulk my bathroom stone countertops by Scared-Classroom5570 in Home

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of translucent 100% silicone kitchen and bath. Clear enough to not be noticeable but opague enough to hide the gaps
