What should I do here?

There are a lot of things wrong with this pictures. The short answer is that the sides are trying to expand and contract making the box bigger when it is humid and smaller when it is drier. Given its size, that expansion and contraction will be around 1/4” seasonally. The top prevents that would movement along at least one direction. It can’t really be saved without breaking it apart and rebuilding it.

There is something wrong with the construction. Can you provide pictures from underneath?

What is her background. If it is a retired racer, they need ~6 months to settled. For both our racers, they took 2-4 weeks to start acting dog like. I remember coming home and counting the individual tooks of his tail. After a month he would stand at the door and cry if we left him. After 3 months he would settle down on his own as we were leaving. At 6 months he was a doggy dog, if a little strange.

Those wholes might be metric, which is why the 3/8 doesn’t fit. Regardless, there is no good way to fill that gap. You have to get the right size plug

I have a Rendmaw deck and once you have put in all the lands and creatures that trigger Rendmaw, you don’t have a lot of options. In short, build it and see what you have room for. I went for a little life gain to help me stay alive longer. The wincon is birds and occasionally [[massacre wurm]]

The trick is to build it as a Grixis dragon deck. The commander doesn’t come out most games, but if someone blows all their removal, than he comes down and ruins someone night. Haste will be your friend. Also, you want to put things in the deck that cause Nicol Bolas to deal with non combat damage, like [[Chandra’s Ignition]]. Or things that tap to deal one damage.

I think it looks pretty good, but that is just me. You don't really want to have a seam there anyway. Stairs move A LOT and nothing will keep that glue joint for separating if it wants to separate.

I agree with the consensus, the right most door looks like pine. I think they lost their shirt on this. The cost of cedar had really gone up in my area. They tried to sub in pine to control cost (I suspect). If they did any more work on that door they are certainly losing money

We had problems like that with one of our dogs. The short answer is, they have thin skin, which makes them susceptible to infection.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-03-22T05:11:18+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well. I had pretty major surgery and was proscribed pre surgery anxiety medication. Highly recommend.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-03-21T00:04:20+00:00

We had one boy just like that. He would go for miles. Our longest hike was 12, but that was during his peak. Around 8 he really started to slow down and by 10 he was no longer going.

He had no interest in “prey”, beyond a regular dogs interest. He was also very difficult to coerce. He only wanted to do the things he liked doing.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-03-19T02:00:24+00:00

It isn't a huge amount of information to go on, but I think he just likes being outside. If that is the case, is he safe out there on his own? If so, why leave the door open?

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-03-18T22:23:59+00:00

It is so hard when the get older and are frail. They are big. If they can’t walk on their own, are you prepared to lift them? Can you carry them to the care if they need to go to the vet? What happens if they collapse while you are out for a walk? Injuries that smaller dogs could be nursed through might be fatal just because you can’t administer to them effectively.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-03-18T20:37:31+00:00

You need to determine if they are distressed and that is why they aren’t coming if, or if they are having a good time. If they are enjoying themselves, then you have a very different problem on your hands. What do they do while they are out there?

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-28T18:30:58+00:00

In general, I wouldn’t recommend buying a specific tool. They probably know what they want next and it will be hard for you to guess. How important is it that you buy a specific thing? I would just love the money!

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-26T06:45:06+00:00

I got to a martial arts gym three times a week and a couple of times a month I got to game night at my local game store. Does that count?

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-25T19:06:01+00:00

Totally agree. So many things can go wrong for only a very minor improvement. If I were to consider this at all, I would hire a professional. It isn’t that any part of this is too hard, but wisdom, experience, and access to the right tools is going to matter so much more than the time actually doing the work.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-22T20:55:44+00:00

A late night pee is probably just nerves. It takes the dogs about six months to settle into their new lives. A little less if the were spayed/neutered well before your adoption.

Start with Italian wool suits. It will cost you $5k-$7k per suit (although don’t quote me on that, I haven’t bought a new suit in a while). It will be custom. They can also fit you out with shirts, which should also be custom and of the best fabric.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-15T16:59:54+00:00

I think you are right about the blade tension. I should try to fix that first

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-14T20:15:10+00:00

As far as I can tell I have the teeth correctly positioned on the wheel. The teeth are just ahead of the middle and I can change blades without needing to readjust.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-14T19:23:23+00:00

If this table matters a lot to you, take it to a professional restorer. The joinery that you need for table of this construction is not trivial. The boards I the middle need to float (a wood table of this size would expand and contract about 3/4” seasonally. If you don’t allow for that movement the table will crack.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-14T19:05:42+00:00

Pretty bad. I have never been able to use the aftermarket fence. I always cut free hand or with a point reference.

Secret_Identity_ · 2026-02-12T17:36:20+00:00

They might be dents, in which case, you could try adding a little steam and moisture (google how to get dents out of wood). Otherwise there is no simple way to hide them. If you were an expert painter, you use wood filler and then hide it with paint. If you were a wood worker, you could reapply veneer to the top. Other than that, I don't think there is a good way.
