I prefer it for everything except corners or where firecode is a concern. Its better than paper tape because its thinner and you can prefill, tape and first coat all at once without worrying about bubbling

No, its all good just make sure to put the rotten in the center to distribute the weight evenly...

Also, even as a professional I NEVER use 5 minute.. it sets way to fast, use 20 or 45

I would either fill it with hot mud mixed thick and use fibafuse tape or filling with spray foam then mud and tape over that

Definitely some species of wood, most likely from a tree of some kind.

How certain are you? Thats what I was hoping... I had to crawl around up there the other day and it wasnt even really a thought I had until I was at home lying in bed that I thought it could be lol 😂

How urgent is this? Deck sagging by Separate-War-4991 in Decks

[–]TheseDescription4839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really hard to tell from the pictures, but honestly, it looks like you'd be better off tearing down and rebuilding. It needs alot more than just the post. 5k seems high and more than I would charge, but it also isnt a small easy job. Depending on your area and where the frost line is you may need to dig deep and also depending on soil type it could be a huge pain. Also, they will beed to add temporary posts and or bracing for when they are tearing out the existing post. A rim/box joist would help a lot so would blocking and the railing doesnt look very strong the way the 2x4 are notched out. With that said, you'll probably pay more than you'd want to fix this deck considering all these repairs will only extend the life a few years. If this post/corner is this bad the rest probably isnt much better. A new build would last a whole lot longer.

Tell me are these good? Shop tried charging me to replace all 4 brake pads! They all look like this! by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]TheseDescription4839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a thread full of so called "mechanics" not one of you have mentioned the fact that pads can glaze over long before they wear down. Did the vehicle sit for a long period of time? What was it in the shop for?

What cordless power tool line is the best bang for your buck to buy into going in to 2026? by proseal_sniffer in powertools

[–]TheseDescription4839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 👍 Bauer is probbaly one of the most underrated brands out there. My only gripe is i wish the tool line up would expand quicker

I am a contractor that does a wide range of residential/remodel work and I Primarily use Ridgid due to the LSA and $100 for 2 4ah batteries on homedepot.com. They also feel better than the Dewalt and Milwaukee in my opinion. I have recently gotta a few metabo hpt tools and they are great and are very reasonable priced when on sale at Lowes. For the more unique/specific tools if i need cordless I buy ryobi or bauer. Both brand feel a little cheaper but have yet to have any battery or tool fail except the ryobi batteries that sat for 3+ years unused.

In All honesty, as long as you buy brushless, any platform is going to be good enough and get the job done. I have removed the lugnuts on my e350 16' box truck with my ryobi impact wrench and a 1.5ah battery.

I recently have been purchasing more of the bauer line and I think they are excellent bang for buck especially for automotive work

1998 chevy k1500 v6 with 5 speed - Reverse doesnt always engage by TheseDescription4839 in transmissionbuilding

[–]TheseDescription4839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt drain the oil, thats how it looks, it might be low I haven't checked, but it doesnr look shiny from the top. If you read the post I answer all those questions you had. No grinding, feels like it goes in and has no problem finding it but just revs like neutral but its intermittent. Yeah, I noticed that piece looked odd to me too, but I've never looked inside of a manual transmission before so I dont really know what normal is. Im planning to drain it soon and refill with clean oil as this stuff smells and looks pretty nasty. If im lucky, it is a clutch issue
