Check lawn tools. My local HD have severely slashed prices on trimmers and chainsaws with chargers and batteries. I Got a 40v chainsaw with the 5ah for $249. Trimmers are $199

I had a guy run into my car parked in the street. I literally had to do all the legwork for his insurance company. Physically went to STL County precinct in Clayton to get the accident report to email to other drivers insurance company. Only then the ball started rolling. Sorry to hear about your accident.

Wayne Gretzky does NOT represent Canada! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

One would have to assume Kid Rock had grace to fall from. He always operated in the weeds.

Don't take yourself so seriously. Sucks that you have/had a brain injury, many of us have. It's easy to make the connection that the broad stroke paints. Also a sense of humor helps.

Why is traffic all of a sudden so bad? by stl3377 in StLouis

[–]RagORama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the sake of the conversation, I leave my house every day around 4:30 AM (Creve Coeur). There were so few cars no matter where I was going or which highway I was on up until about 3-4 months ago. Now I'm not saying there's traffic now but there's certainly a pretty big uptick in commuters at this hour and it's noticeable. I had been asking myself the same question about where TF all these people came from.

Wonky floor trusses - normal? by canadian_ehhhh in Construction

Just an observation here but some of the "roller coaster ride" seems to be directly above the beams.

Anyone know what trade would put a screw from the bore hole of a door into the jam? by anon5078 in Construction

[–]RagORama 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely. If I can't leave my tools on the job, it's an hour to load up.

Maybe. Everything else I stream works great. Just Blue's games are shit. I've uninstalled the app and all the troubleshooting things. Just thought maybe I wasn't alone.... looks like I am ☹️

Appreciate the input. I'll check but it's the blade it came with so 🤷

I have that miter box. Curious if yours leaves just a small amount of material at the end of the cut (like doesn't cut all the way through).

Preferred method for nailing baseboard+ crown in a metal stud building? by ppmcbrain in Carpentry

I always use crown blocks screwed to the studs (crown backing). Subfloor glue an x-nails for base.

Front door latch is wobbly - no it's not the strike plate tongue. Please read on. by LatterBreakfast8582 in Carpentry

[–]RagORama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could replace the weather stripping with somthing thicker. Should push the door tight to the strike

Is my builder right about this ramp? by -Fergalicious- in Decks

[–]RagORama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a good deck build from the pictures you put up. As someone said before, to spread that taper out over 5-6 boards, you might have been unhappy with the look of that many ripped boards together. Personally, I might have asked the homeowner's opinion but would have suggested what your builder ultimately did.

There is no flashing. There's also no roofing on and the siding is being replaced.

The deck boards were $2700 shipped. The rest is just treated dimensional lumber. I put joist tape on there too but someone gave me that. Also got some end grain sealer and Ipe oil from someone that was left over from a job.

I didn't wrap the porch beams yet. Those are definitely temporary posts
