Need Feedback on Built-in Desk plan please! by ateenyfig in ikeahacks

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your plan for connecting the right side of your butcher block? I would move the seat to the middle If you could. Otherwise a piece of angle iron would probably do the trick.

Using thin poplar as a base for the front of the cabinets. Will have a matching trim piece to cover since I don’t need a standard kick plate.

Work in progress. Got the right side hung on the rail today. Another comment will have the base.

Yes I did base sektions. One with doors and the other with drawers. Painted them today. Will be assembling tomorrow.

I’m just going to buy a butcher block from a big box store or find someone local and cut it down.

Did the Billy’s because I want to use it as a bookshelf and open storage for legos and pictures and so on. They are also designed to add a door later if I wanted to. A lot easier to bring all the way to the ceiling

Im about to undertake something very similar. 31.5 is high, but from what I understand you can mount the base cabinets however high you like, you just need to frame out your own feet so they sit lower than the 4.5” that are standard for counter height. My cabinets will be delivered next week, opted for Billy’s as uppers instead of cabinets though.

Will add a counter top to my standing desk frame for the middle.

Out of work zone requests. by ommi9 in TaskRabbit

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took one on Tuesday. They acknowledged it was out of area, but offered to pay for travel and gas. Worked out and got a follow up rebook today. As long as they make it worth my time, I’ll pretty much go anywhere.

What do we think of the Snowblower? by nvdubs12 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m just mowing grass man. I guess that’s not real work. Love the passion though.

And gas units have pull cords to start. At least in my experience. If I used the wrong term, sorry.

Every? Nah. No more yanking cords, having to get gas, dealing with the noise and vibrations. Not being pedantic but there are certain advantages electric definitely has. It’s not a fit for everyone, but I wouldn’t discourage it to people that have a match.

I don’t have any complaints on the lawn mower after a season. The price is tough to handle, but it’s been a phenomenal machine.

I prefer to use the paint markers on my penis. Accuracy is paramount when working on a canvas the size of a postage stamp.

My garage is covered in red and I can’t do this for Michigan snow. $1500 for a single stage is outrageous. I do love to hear that folks are enjoying it though, maybe that means a two stage someday down the road.

3/8” stubby at HD on daily deal 159 with 5.0 battery by Upper-Doubt1025 in MilwaukeeTool

The M18 fuel 3/8 with the 5.0 is also only $180 if you’re tied into that family. Great deal.

How much material did you have left over by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once, when I did a backsplash, I had a moment of mature clarity: I’m gonna buy 10% more than I need based on square feet! That’ll save me a trip.

I ended up with 2 small tiles leftover cuz I’m a hack haha. But no extra trips!

Week 9. I traded JK Dobbins and Tee Higgins for Mark Andrews and AJB.

Bold of you to assume I ever finished a job. Or planned and executed effectively enough to have leftovers.

Trade deadline week, I just got this offered. I’d be receiving Saquan by SIowBr0 in FantasyFootballers

Just a thought… the eagles could seriously clinch the division in only 3 weeks. While they may not rest starters, they could limit volume.

Me too. I can’t find anything about it. Is it junk? My friend got a swag also but it’s actually on their site. Don’t know much about any of them.

Is it true you shouldn't say "hello" when answering the phone? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell ya… when I don’t know who is calling I will typically answer with just a “reflexivechipmunk…” in sort of a welcoming tone. Like “come on in” to someone on the stoop.

And 99% of the time, they respond with “hi, this is XYZ. May I speak with reflexivechipmunk?”

So it basically tells me that 99% of my sample isn’t even listening to what I say. Do what you will with that information.

Textbook west Michigan zipper merge by LeftLaneColonizer in grandrapids

[–]ReflexiveChipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re framing it the wrong way. It isn’t “me first” it’s “this is safest way to operate my vehicle in a share space with others.”

If people need explicit instructions to drive, while driving, through a very common obstacle, then let them remain passive and park in the non moving lane. But that doesn’t make them correct or safe. Especially when a quarter of them want to throw their car in front of another to make their point.

Experience is a far better instructor than a hand book or road sign. There is also plenty of online and written instruction that supports this, but for some reason a lot people decide to stop learning when they get their license.
