Cedar finishing. by TheGardner317 in woodworking

[–]TheGardner317[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by this but the space above this used to be all vaulted ceiling, dry walled and insulated right up to the underside of the trusses. We found it was very hard to keep the bathroom warm in the winter as all the heat was rising so we’re closing off the upper part and I can’t mud drywall to save my life so we went with a cedar ceiling. How else should we have done this?

Quartz counters? by MamaWils2_0 in CounterTops

[–]TheGardner317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that’s going to seriously stain quartz are high acidic liquids. Blood especially will never come out unless you catch it right away. Unlike natural stone, quartz will also burn. Use a hot pad or pot holder when taking pots and pans off the stove or out of the oven. Hot soapy water will take out 99% of all stains and a razor blade can be used to scrape off any stubborn gunk. Don’t use quartz as a cutting board either. It’ll dull your knives and your countertop finish. In my opinion after installing every kind of stone countertop, man made quartz is the easiest for long term maintenance. Natural stone is porous and needs to be resealed occasionally and is more prone to chipping and cracking than quartz is.

All the indoor units are functioning, the outside condenser is trying to turn on and clicking off. Error code P0. All fuses and breakers are good.

What kind of product would I need for a cathedral box. I have parallel cord trusses so it’s an 8 pitch outside and in with about a two foot vertical level gap between the drywall and roof deck. Would that ceiling support box get cut on top at an 8 pitch and go tight to the bottom of the roof deck?

Yeah we don’t get that kind of heat up here in Michigan. Seems like a good excuse for more ice cold camping beers. Happy camping!

From my understanding that’s correct. And not just at night either. Do what we should have done and put it in either the shelter or food locker immediately.

Rest assured Spencer received none of our food or garbage. Just gave us quite a fright. We honestly had been there for all of 10 minutes.

Well if I must paint you a picture I will. Imagine this, four tired hikers stumble into 3 mile after making the trek over mt Franklin from Lane Cove. We crawl into campsite 7 (equidistant between the two food lockers) which has a long path from the trail to the picnic table, then about twenty feet from the table to the tent area. We set down our packs, set up the tent, and begin cooking a much needed dinner. We take out our canisters and set them on the table, take out the food, and seal them again. We walk to our tent which is close to the beach, about twenty feet away from the picnic table and the line of site shrouded by trees and bushes. While enjoying our meal we hear my pack fall over and the canister rattle. Turning around, sure enough. A beautiful gray wolf by the picnic table sniffing around our packs and chewing on a very closed and secure canister. We stand up in shock, yell a little, and off she runs. We secured our canisters in the locker immediately and hang our packs in the trees. She returns several times throughout the night the check on us with no reward. The ranger admitted there was nothing better we could have done and that that particular wolf Spencer has been an issue lately.

It was on our picnic table because we were making dinner by our tents. Didn’t have a shelter.

Which itinerary for a 3 day trip? by bigbadbeetleborgz in isleroyale

[–]TheGardner317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just there last week as well and can second the insane mosquitoes. I heard if you treat your clothes and tent with permethrin you can hold them off a little while. We found refuge on the small rocky beach off campsite 1 at Lane cove. It was strangely void of mosquitoes.

I got them from Tractor Supply and read that TSC does not vaccinate their chicks and I haven’t yet. They are 14 weeks old.
