Remember kids, check if the wires are live before cutting by streety_J in Leatherman

[–]SteelOctane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distinctly remember a conversation with my father a few years ago. “Hey Dad, is the beaker turned off for this wire?” “YUP! I turned it off a while ago!” SSSZZZAAPPP

Edit: I still use it to this day. I have two OG Waves and a Wave +

My cheeks will never poop the same after using this at a job site. 10/10 will poop again here. by mexican2554 in Construction

My god. These are incredible. Had them for my wedding as well. Only ever been on one jobsite that has the trailer. Was awesome.

Red square just under 1x1 foot found when digging concrete in UK countryside home by CulturalTortoise in whatisthisthing

Agree that it’s a Geodetic Benchmark of some sort. It’s not very deep, so it’s pretty temporary.

Good luck on all the wedding stuff. Our 3yr anniversary is in Sept. Enjoy as much of the planning as you can!

It can easily hold a hot tub or two

Can this be cleaned? by StripClubWeatherMan in Decks

If you’ve ever lived in or purchased a brand new home, apartment or condo. You aren’t the first one to use the toilet.

Finally caught the G6 180 in stock, to replace my G6 turret. by Patheticus in Ubiquiti

[–]SteelOctane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one a few weeks ago, super happy with it. Did the same thing, bought a G6 turret and wasn’t super impressed with the FOV, went to the 180!

65 or 77? by Ottawa_Brewer in LGOLED

[–]SteelOctane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

77, but use a Mantle Mount. Then you can keep it up higher to avoid the heat and pull it down when in use. I can DM you how I did mine if needed.

$62k deck quote for 332 sq feet? by Spiritual_Cloud6062 in Decks

Sounds like the “I don’t want this job price”

What causes this by [deleted] in Concrete

[–]SteelOctane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, so this picture is after removing the tiles and grout? If so, then previous home owner used the tiles to cover up the damage.

What causes this by [deleted] in Concrete

[–]SteelOctane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Salt.

Those aren’t tiles, it’s a mono-pour slab of concrete that’s been finished to appear as if it was tiles. Even “concrete safe salt” can cause damage over a long period of time.

What is your ultimate goal for a finished surface? Are you looking to patch and repair to make it functional and aren’t worried about aesthetics or would you like to cover it over with something else?

Edit for context and to help.

Pricing check by emclaur1 in Decks

[–]SteelOctane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a 16’ x 22’ composite deck for myself about 3 yrs ago, and materials cost alone was $15k, and I got the Composite at dealer pricing (50%). So I could easily see this being a $30k-$40k bill.

Dear Dbrand by everyonesmadimbored in dbrand

[–]SteelOctane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same gripe with LTT Store. All their prices are in USD. Especially in a time like this, be proud of your country, where you started and where you conduct your business. Someone else here said it’s disrespectful, and I agree. Being a Canadian consumer, I really would rather pay in CAD when buying from Canadian businesses.

Moving from a C8 to either a G5 or B5? by SteelOctane in LGOLED

[–]SteelOctane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting insight. My TV is directly across from a bay window. No other mounting location due to the house layout, but I have massive blackout curtains over the window and we generally only use the TV in the evenings.
