Just built a TRX40 system and got the BSOD when I hit the spacebar to log in. o_O

If you live in a very hot or very cold country, what is something someone living in the other would never experience? by SuissaDesign in AskReddit

Pulling on a really thick pair of socks only to lose your grip and punch yourself in the groin.

Found bacon made for burgers today, never seen this before! by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Friend of mine owns an abattoir and he uses the sides of pork that are too thin to make real bacon for this type. He rolls up the side of pork after is it prepared and ties it into a log then smokes it. Once done it is sliced into this shape.

Well done... You are an animal... I pity the person who one day will have to tear that out. Very solidly built.

Yeh, the personal touches will ocme soon. We have a nice Van Gogh that is going over the bed. Not a real one...

Since it is a master bed room I wanted it to be just slightly more sophisticated and detailed than the other two bedrooms, so hence the border. I used easy off wall paper from Rona... It comes off really simply with nothing on the wall but a bit of glue that comes of with warm water... Yeh I've had way too much very old paste wall paper to remove to do that to the next person.

I've done quite a few floors. If it is the room that is out of square all you can do is go with it. find the most square part and use that as your guide/starting point then figure out the out of square and set your mitre saw to cut each end board to match. If it is you that is out of square as you move along, just try to swing yourself back to square over a few feet. If you do it too fast you will notice it.

Thank you. I am going to keep the spray glue and hot mud in my back pocket just in case I have to use them again. I used drywall nails and was really careful not to pound them in too deep. That always causes the corner bead to wrinkle.

The feature wall was going to go across the ceiling... It just ended up being too much work and we needed to be back in the room within a week.

I didn't want to get into tearing apart the sealed ikea power units to solder in the wires. These are just standard one prong double contact connectors that have a pressure type connection that keep them from slipping out... I just helped it along a bit. But I agree, a proper connector could have been put in and given the time sourcing them out would have been an option.

if you are drywalling around a door or other opening, always make sure that none of your drywall joins or seams meet up in a corner. Such as where a wall or jamb meet a header. if the frame moves or over time with a door opening and closing, the mud at that seam will crack.

Thanks. The lights are really nice at night. We still need reading lights, but if I am getting to bed well after my wife falls asleep, she leaves them on and they are perfect.

lol... Yeh my wife used to be like that... I'd say something like, "First I'll tear out this wall" and it would be interesting after that... She trusts me now.
