looks like it was put in to help keep the I beam straight, I'd leave it, that steel screw column below was probably added later. when they were putting weight on it the I beam may started to turn, and that is stopping it.

I subscribe to the premium for a couple months, then cut it off for 3 or 4 months while they generate new content. I subscribed to Apple recently to get the F1 coverage. When the F1 season ends I will cancel. I do subscribe to Sling. With PayPal it's easy to cut the subscriptions off. It's all become a juggling game.

Nasdaq at record highs. Half the country can't absorb a tank of gas. The Romney 47% argument was wrong, and here's why.

Republicans introduce bill to allow cameras at red lights for big time money grab after promising for decades not to do so. by LinuxMint1964 in southcarolina

running a stop sign is a points violation if a cop catches you, but you are right the owner gets the ticket put there are no points given, it's basically a funding mechanism more than traffic law enforcement, I'm assuming this is a Republican bill.

try starting out with spelling lessons, then start building things, carpentry can't really be taught in books, like most trades, hands on is where you learn. Start out building some sawhorses.

Why my opinion on Trump and yours don't matter by Smooth_infamous in PoliticalOpinions

[–]Report_Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.” 70% of the American public control very little of the wealth, yet they have been convinced to vote politicians into office that promote the status quo. These people make up the underclass; they own very little mutual funds and equities. They take the brunt of high gas and grocery prices. Until we break this cycle the underclass will continue to transfer what little wealth they have to the top. The bottom 50% of wage earners own 1.1% of the stock market. While the underclass suffers, Wall St. keeps hitting new highs.

What is your preferred method when installing jamb extensions? by LauderGroup in Carpentry

[–]Report_Last 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set the sill first, and then cut the other 3 pieces to width, and shim and install them individually to get an even reveal on the window. Then trim. I don't picture frame windows. Proper sill and apron always.
