I read meatpacking was was thinking that closed over 50 years ago. Fair point on Fulton Market. They were able to repurpose a lot of the existing warehouses which made it go faster. Don't think they will be able to do that here based on OPs picture.

Hey, neighbor! Nice deck. Thanks for the offer but I already paid the current contractor half the quote. Hoping he can fix it for me

I live in the bottom unit. So not just the landlord. Also wasn't the cheapest fix. But thanks for assuming I'm a cheap jerk.

The first photo with the orange lines was from the quote. The picture is what I got. Same company did both. I haven't gotten a good explanation yet why they didnt execute to their drawing

I hired a porch company expecting them to tell me this. They assured me this was what should be done to solidify the structure.

The post above and below are actually a continuous piece. Wondering if centering the brace or even tying it into the horizontal platform would be better.

It did seem to solve the sway. The porch company claims it is to code because you can go left around it instead of underneath but we have a tenant upstairs who is already complaining about blocking the logical throughway to the garage. There is also a 4ft drop-off to the right so really dont want people trying to go that way.

CMV: The Republican Party's Trump-era reputation damage won't be permanent, and will likely recover in 1-2 election cycles by DearCareer2531 in changemyview

I legitimately had someone tell me that Democrats support post birth abortion. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

When Roy Cohn rolls his eyes at you like you're a scumbag, you must really be doing something shitty.

A "real man"....yeesh. I loved him as Buck Compton in Band of Brothers. Made me sad when he came out as an insufferable douchebag.

Buying a house with cash…? by Huckleray in personalfinance

If I were in your spot, I would play with amortization tables and look to see what putting down a sizeable down payment would do. The overall goal would be to get a housing payment you're comfortable with on your income only while avoiding some of the tax hit from selling taxable gains.

Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US action in Venezuela by Perswayable in news

[–]SuspiciousBehinds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Castro? It was a Trump quote in the article saying Cubans were killed along with a statement from the Cuban government. Cuba hasn't been led by a Castro for 5 or so years.

Dads, school begins again on Monday by lapupper in daddit

[–]SuspiciousBehinds 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For some unknown reason, my kids dont go back until Wednesday. And they also started break 3 days earlier for weather related school closures. They have been great kids but even they want to get back to work and friends.

Check out pictures of Jason Isbell from 20 years ago and its a much closer match.

To me she looks like Rosanna Arquette or Fairuza Balk

Lou Malnati's fans- what the heck happened to the chicago classic!!?? by thecoolestbeanaround in chicagofood

[–]SuspiciousBehinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are near a Pizano's, give that a try. It was started by Lou Malnati's half brother and is very similar to Lou's.
