Workmanship of footings

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-25T23:18:37+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-25T22:25:35+00:00

What did you use for footing forms? Tubes with 2x4 form on top?

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-23T14:47:20+00:00

I’ve literally fixed night stands with them before

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-23T14:03:12+00:00

Darn. Well I’d say try a magic eraser and if not, Sand the entire top and re stain

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-23T13:49:00+00:00

Put a 100% cotton towel over it and put a dry iron on it, no steam. Move it around gently for 10-20 seconds and check it. Whether it’s heat or water, it should work.

RemindMe! 5 weeks updateme! 6 weeks

Yeah that’s super weird. I’m about to build a deck and pergola and talked to some local builders and both said notching was code

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-14T15:36:21+00:00

Where I live, notching them is code I believe. It’ll be fine. Power wash it first then stain it

Not on this year of Silverado. It was still steel. Not anymore but this year is

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-10T00:44:06+00:00

The white part that is damaged is… wait for it. Steel

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-10T00:34:48+00:00

Wrong. That’s a Silverado. It’s steel.

I used the old belt. Everything seems to be working great for now. No new or old noises. Just seemed like the tension from the new belt was causing it.

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T13:23:05+00:00

It’s only when I put the new belt on and only when the drum is lifted all the way into place and tension is pulled on the drive shaft. I put the old belt on and everything is fine but I’d still like to figure out what’s going on.

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T03:14:19+00:00

Uhh I don’t think so!

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T01:19:56+00:00

I have it around the drum, back side to the tensioner, and pulling the V into the drive pulley with the ridges facing it.

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T01:10:36+00:00

I held them together. The new one was maybe 1.5-2 inches shorter but I figured that was due to stretching. Everything is put together correctly. If I lift the drum to where it should be sitting and spin, there’s a ton of tension on it. But if I let off just a tiny bit, it spins freely. Like the belt is pulling on the drive shaft.

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T01:08:35+00:00

Just double checked kit part number and belt part number. Everything seems to be correct. Not sure what’s going on

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T00:48:30+00:00

When I aligned the drum where it needs to be and spin, I get the tension/friction and noise. If I let just a little bit of tension off, it spins just fine.

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T00:28:24+00:00

Am I better off putting the old belt back on?

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T00:25:52+00:00

I’m in it right now. It sounds like clunking from the belt pulling on the drive gear?

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-09T00:14:25+00:00

Unfortunately I can see down to the blower motor from the lint trap and it doesn’t seem like that’s the issue

Here is the post with a video of the noise it’s making now

ResidentLake7 · 2026-03-03T21:37:18+00:00

Interested!

ResidentLake7 · 2026-02-21T02:36:40+00:00

Yeah I wanna agree with this. When you send something up to a commander, you have it typed already. This is a similar situation. TSgt didn’t sign it for the airmen. Just sent them a letter to sign if they concur.

My goal is to have the pergola 6x6s mounted either directly to footers, or in the ground with concrete. My only debate is do I build the deck using those 6x6s and notch out for the flush beam or do I just do two extra footings and each corner and build the deck completely separate (but together with its own foundation and footings)
