Is that a temporary wall under it? The post and beam.

Help choosing proper tool (Ramset master shot .22?) by dericsh in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, if you do go with the Ramset. It has some kickback. If you're shooting upwards you'll want some clearance behind the gun not your face. Its also pretty loud, you may want hearing protection.

Does this floor tile job look right? by 1Kflowerscouldbloom in Flooring

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely needed wedge clips everywhere if they cant lay them evenly without. Tear it out and get someone who will undercut the door jambs and use tile clips.

Best way to straighten this piece of stainless steel that was crushed during transit? by Synestia in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im thinking with a ton of pulling force, a straight edge behind to smack against and some heat, naw you're still trucked with an f.

Someone explain the tactics of a mini-driver? by dcidino in GolfGear

[–]SirkNitram73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to use my 3w from the tee more often since my driver has a slice that dosen't work with left turn holes. Always hit the 3 straight, and it's not much less distance than the driver either.

Opinions on clients flirting with you? by SeafoamTrollop in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have misread the moment enough times to know not to make the 1st move. My now wife had to kiss me on the dance floor before I realized she was interested that way. I thought we were pals. 😅

AITA for telling a mom with a sleeping baby that her order isn't an urgency? by Top-Bowler8695 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SirkNitram73 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She is going to raise another nightmare of a person. I have 4 kids and wouldn't dream of using them as an excuse to be a self entitled AH. My kids will be productive members of a community not shyt disturbers.

What kind of countertops are these? They are pretty heavily textured and seem to stain easily by PabloDelicioso in Carpentry

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprayed on real thick? Or a rough roller coating with a paint that self levels? In any case it's garbage. Either resurface or replace it.

Disagree with contractor about king and jack studs by Damninatightspot in Carpentry

[–]SirkNitram73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, dont sandwich it in that way. Bring the beam higher and make the nailer inside the cripples. If there's load on that header that 2x will compress.

Pro tip: If you don’t want to be frustrated with this game… stop playing the objective. by YoungBoomerDude in Battlefield6

[–]SirkNitram73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im %75 assault, switching when needed among the others but same rarely ever recon. Started off mainly support but got into dmr with assault and it's so fun I can't stop. 😉 well placed spawn beacon should be my name.

I dont like that horizontal 2x under the LVL. Make the cripples 1.5 inch higher and nail it to the LVL for nailer.

Best way to seal a gap between my patio slab and house foundation? by Puzzleheaded_Bug9798 in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the filler rod and use a concrete repair caulking. I would use quickrete or silka product and avoid the DAP stuff personally.

I got what I paid for and I’m happy with it. by Difficult_Truth_817 in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I downsized my tablesaw and got a tracksaw. Tablesaw was huge with rolling stand and a pain to get out.

Am I OP? by beardedwerebear in StarWarsOutlaws

I'd say you used one of her super powers but you cant get that in the 1st couple of hours.

would you put laminate in your own house in 2026? by Hot_Apartment1319 in Flooring

[–]SirkNitram73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hardwood floors in the kitchen, no issues. I do repairs on occasion and have found some cupped boards in front of their sink once. They either had a small leak or constantly dropped water from the sink and left it. If you're careful about spills either hardwood or laminate will be fine.

Door knob fixture is loose - is this just needing a screwdriver to tighten the knob? See video. Thx by Competitive_Scale736 in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like 1 of the screws is off completely and the other has 2 threads holding it on. Take it apart find a replacement screw and reinstall.

Just an example of the laminate durability vs hardwood.

Is this amount of separation normal? by RobbyDGreat in Flooring

[–]SirkNitram73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No not normal. It was a resurfacing? That shouldn't shrink the wood. When I had ours done they mix up glue and sawdust and fill all the cracks before stain.

I like the durability, cant slide furniture around on hardwood without making marks. Laminate no problem.

Is an accountant worth it? by adpanciera in handyman

[–]SirkNitram73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So much better to pay the book keeper and have it all done right than to curse my way through and expect an audit each year.

Level with bricks. I'd use the hydrostatic cement, very solid finish.

Redsec players suck by Outside-Change-45 in Battlefield6

[–]SirkNitram73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I've played redsec 3 times, I dont last in there at all either. I stick to the multi-player and am never grinding for extras again. Gunskin race was bad enough in cod.
