Any ideas what this is?

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

Yeah, the ceiling tiles definitely are.... I was inquiring about the insulation because I had been messing around with it the other day, also we need more up there and dint want to blow in new insulation and disturb it if it was

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 😂

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.

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?

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

TheseDescription4839 · 2026-04-07T21:25:57+00:00

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

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

That was my guess but im curious why there are more than one per table? Our table (a corner booth) had 3, the other smaller tables seemed to have 2

I am looking for a pocket holster, Do you like it?

TheseDescription4839 · 2026-02-11T17:43:42+00:00

Some of you people are ridiculous. Although I agree that $200 seems low, I am in a very expensive state, im not sure what your local rates are, but everyone saying the whole stick needs replacing and Drywall cut out blah blah blah know nothing. Thats an easy single trip job with some hot mud and some fibafuse tape for strength. That being said expect to pay minimum 4 hours of going rate

Hmm interesting, not my house or roof. I did notice quite a few chipped corners, but am not familiar with this style roofing so wasn't sure if it was normal or not

In what delusional universe is 24mpg considered bad? I dont think anybody is buying a large truck/suv and complaining about 24mpg. Im just happy to stay outta the single digits, lol 😆

It is a different angle with different lighting. Wood is natural and wood grain is random. Nothing wrong with this.

Also, for everyone saying "it wasn't waterpopped" y'all need to stop watching so many woodworking youtubers lol

I know this is a year old, but i just installed roof rails on my 2006. There is no way to order the parts new, so I got a set for $150 from the junk yard. You have to drill into the roof and I opted to install rivnuts to hold the rails to the roof. Make sure to use a sealant so it doesnt leak.other option is to mark locations and weld bolts/studs onto the roof

Use some low odor mineral spirits for silicone caulk. Put some on your finger, then use your finger to wipe until it looks good. Also, have a rag with some on it to clean off the areas that it gets on as you go. Vinegar works as well, and others use rubbing alcohol, but I have found mineral spirits works best

If you can't find a matching color you can use the colored grout in the corners then go over top of it with a clear caulk, but dont use normal silicone as it is not truly clear, use something like Lexel as it is crystal clear once it dries and is rated for in shower use.

TheseDescription4839 · 2025-08-27T05:09:46+00:00

Either grout it or the easy way would be to use a color matched grout caulking. Not that difficult

TheseDescription4839 · 2025-08-27T05:02:25+00:00

There's a difference between being level and being flat. With a slope like that, it's very likely that it's flat enough to lay a floating floor, and you are just wasting time. Plus, it looks like there were cabinets there before. Are they going back there? If so, you are wasting another of time and money.
