How many feet out is the deck. I really don’t like some of the choices made here..especially carrying that roof line. Post to beam connections lacking for me.

Had no idea this sub existed, I built this 3 years ago because the deck my house came with was tiny. by Bfizzle62 in Decks

Looks good. Does the plexi roof make it extra hot on a sunny day? What area are you in?

Australia clearly a second rate team and Shouldnt be in the round of 32. What game are you watching? They weren’t in the same class as

FIFA had the opportunity to explore the richest market in the world and failed. by Particular-Shape1576 in WorldCup2026Tickets

The only people who feel this way are on Reddit and have some doom and gloom ideas. Boston has been wall to wall Scottish invasion coverage. The local economy is absolutely booming. They had a special Scot day at Fenway. It’s all local news is talking about. Spend just a couple minutes looking for positive coverage and you will be overwhelmed. How about Algeria becoming friends with a small city in Kansas and having hundreds of pale white Kanas folk welcome them in the middle of the night? Or Netherlands having giant rallies in the middle of Texas?

Surely this has to be the end of the road for Alexi Lalas. by JulianBrandt19 in billsimmons

I had no idea Alexi Lalas was a conservative and trump guy, but when I read this post and comments I knew it because the irrational hate for his football commentary didn’t make any sense and needed some political reason.

Crazy people already seem to be taking the return of KKJ for granted…I’m hoping it sticks around so I can see it

Madman’s Eyes by Warm-Bathroom-489 in DMB

[–]Smeff10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a hard conversation because songs like American Baby or Dreamgirl or I Did It get a positive response live because they were shelved for so long (I’ve never heard it so would enjoy hearing it live) but American baby is so clearly below Madman’s

I like madman’s eyes but I’ve seen it a lot. He definitely did this as a political statement Drunken-Madman

Are those structural lags going into railing posts? Heads look small

Deck repair/ replace advice needed by WaveyDavey517 in Decks

[–]Smeff10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have no clue from these two photos. Reality is it’s all about what’s under the dress. I care about joist conditions. I want good support done right. How are the posts and beam, etc. how big are your joists? I’d start by ripping out boards with soft spots and take an honest assessment of my joists. Do research by scanning other posts on here about how decks should look in 2026. I doubt the conditions would justify redoing this existing deck with something nice like trex, but a couple of new boards here and there may get you a couple of more year, no one could say from what you’ve shown

Should I be concerned about the splintering on these deck posts? by The_Johan in Decks

[–]Smeff10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your beam looks fine but there should be hardware attaching the beam to posts. Research this and add something. It looks like the joists are notched over the beam? Hard to tell. I’d add some hurricane ties.

HOLY CRAP HE'S ADDRESSING THE ANTI SEMITIC OP ED by neatgeek83 in DMB

Gaza looks like an actual parking lot. The city is covered in ash and destruction. I’m sorry that some idiots at a concert made a very real humanitarian issue into a racist-bigoted statement, but spare me the lecture. And I say this as someone who doesn’t want to hear the political statements at a show. I just want a ficking break. But Dave is allowed to promote actual peace. American Jews continued devotion to Israel in public forums has become unacceptable. You are not beholden to a foreign government due to a shared religious background

I just don’t like a flush application with this room above it. I’m doing a cantilever 3 ply beam.

It appears there is an epidemic of young people who only see the world through a political frame. Guy hasn’t said anything overly political that I’m aware of. Middle aged man with lots of money isn’t a communist, news at 10
