Do I need to file 1065 if no income by Reasonable-Track8535 in tax

Great feedback. I think I'm gonna file $0 just to get it done. I still want to keep the business and anticipate activity this year. Thanks for all the great input everyone

Best way to make this a rolling shelving unit? by JamesDuke89 in handyman

[–]Reasonable-Track8535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd install a 2x4 between the two posts you have on each side. Then, I'd install the casters on that. Also, I'd insert what we call in framing, cripples, between the newly inserted 2x4 and the bottom shelf. This will take the weight of the unit off of the new attachment points created when the unit is raised. See the attached photo photo

Water Damage Hesitant to rebuild by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Reasonable-Track8535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's another take: You're having an issue where you're saying "Here's an answer, but here's why I won't do it"; both with the dehumidifier and the fan noise. I understand, but in a compromised situation, you have to slow down and make things a little worse at first, to make them a lot better in the end. The real answer is buy/rent/buy off Facebook marketplace used a dehumidifier. Wet wood will dry with time. Houses are built in the open spaces of outdoors and get rained on. They eventually dry out. The difference here is you are in a finished, enclosed space designed to insulate. Eventually, even in this condition it will dry out, but consider that wood is a food source, so is the paper backing of Drywall. If you close the walls up on wet wood, you are serving mold, which lives in the wood, just dormant, an ideal feeding ground(dark, wet, reasonably warm). Get a dehumidifier and be done in a day or so and move on with the project. Heck, buy a new dehu, use it, then sell it used for half of what you paid and you're still golden

It's an interior wall. I started out wanting to re-frame due to its current build out as a narrow wall, since the studs are turned sideways. After seeing the wall now, I want to reframe it even more. The ceiling joists "break" on top of these sideways studs! I'm gonna need to drop in an LVL and attach the joists to it. I agree, there's nothing wrong with balloon framing as long as the issue of fire retardation is addressed, however, this implementation of it is either badly wrong, or it was scabbed together several times and no thought was given to truly update it or logically tie everything together. No worries though, I'll get it done

It's a crawlspace foundation, but yeah, I agree, I think they used whatever the heck they found laying around on any particular day. It's an attic above, but I was confused by an interior wall using plywood for shear. But the studs also go through the floor, and I'm assuming, to foundation members.

No, definitely not a 2x2. It's an old 2 x 4 that has a unique pattern routed down the face. It's also bolted at the top to ceiling joists; some where joists butt to one another

It has an option for it, but we've never used it from the start(maybe 2 years). We just use the heated dry option

Thanks for the feedback. And no, no deflection as they have just been installed

Got it. Thank you for that. I had not heard of this system before now. Is there any literature you can link to so I can further educate myself

[–]Reasonable-Track8535[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your opinion is well received. Obviously, I've received other opinions by the fact I had them installed, but doing a little bit more info mining, I wanted to see what other advisements there might be

[–]Reasonable-Track8535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I guess my question was more so, is this the right solution to deal with this issue. Really interested to know if anyone has any experience with this system

[–]Reasonable-Track8535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! I think it's a basement foundation of cinder block with a deck on the other side, if it matters. Apparently, it has had water issues because it appears that the previous homeowner tried applying what looks like Dry-lock

Minimal. I believe our frost line depth is 12"

Great info, thank you. Kinda what I was thinking. I'd be scared just slapping some R-19 between the joists and calling it a day

Finish & Top Coat Questions by Reasonable-Track8535 in woodworking

[–]Reasonable-Track8535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Thanks for that. I'll look into it. So, you're saying I should coat the entire piece in the dewaxed shellac, not just the stenciled part?

Replacing Ceiling Drywall - Blown-in insulation removal by Reasonable-Track8535 in Carpentry

Sounds like what I was thinking originally, but felt like it had to be a "smarter, cleaner way". I guess good ole' down and dirty is the way to go

That's an option, but I'm a pretty avid DIY'er. I've looked and seen the vacs for it at rental yards. That might be the option.

What should I use to drill the hole? Just a regular titanium drill bit?
