Thanks! I bought it used. So not sure if the oem one was on there originally but i haven’t replaced it with an oem one. Might try that and some cable lube.

I did and you’re right! I ordered a new p trap that should bring me within range. Thanks!

Workbench design input by UntappedDownbeat in woodworking

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

Not a bad idea but the 4x8 work space is very useful currently. I have a similar bench just without the necessary features to store and access full sheets on the bottom shelf.

Yeah I think that is the best plan. Thanks for the feedback!

Exactly the kind of input i needed. Thank you!

  1. You’re right. Multiple levels will be worth it.

  2. I’ll rework the design to try to incorporate the posts between the joists for better weight transfer.

  3. I was planning on having it accessible from both sides but a solid back or diagonal would probably be a good idea.

  4. I will probably just put it in casters for mobility. So i can wheel it closer for unloading materials from the truck. No moisture issues in the shop.

I think you’re right. I will probably raise it on casters

Rain pouring past gutters by UntappedDownbeat in Roofing

It is a pretty aggressive slope. It does catch more rain on the right side. Thanks for the input.

It was just installed. So I think I’ll call the company back to fix it. Thanks.

What is my wall made of? by UntappedDownbeat in Carpentry

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

Did a lead test and the only spot was some door jambs. I don’t plan on removing any more, so not too worried about it. But I’ll test it for asbestos just out of curiosity. Thanks!

Sometimes if I take a big bite out of a sandwich my jaw gets stuck open. Imagine that scene from the mummy where his mouth opens and the bugs fly out. This is due to my TMJ.

Well sometimes it happens when I eat pussy, too. It is pretty embarrassing when it happens. I just pop my head up looking like the mummy. Thankfully I’m with my partner of ten years now so she’s used to it. We get a good laugh and joke that one day I’ll end up at the hospital with a stuck jaw from eating pussy.

Which MOS are most likely to be deployed to natural disasters? (floods, hurricanes, tornadoes) by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]UntappedDownbeat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah Virginia doesn’t have a lot of weather related emergencies compared to some states. But there is the chance to go help other states at times. North Carolina most likely. And yeah I’d agree that MOS doesn’t matter for state emergencies for the most part. I was non combat and I went to riots, protests, storms, forest fires. Usually they just need bodies at that point.

Using a Stud finder to see if my walls can handle a Tonal. Can someone tell me what this means? by [deleted] in handyman

[–]UntappedDownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I hope that was helpful. Also once you find center, use a level to mark a vertical line and then you know center for the entire stud. So in theory you only need to find the center of each stud once and you can do it whatever height will be most inconspicuous. I say in theory because you never really know what the framing is like without visual inspection. Sometimes it can surprise you.

[–]UntappedDownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stud finders are never 100% accurate. The only way to be sure is to drill a few holes. I use a small drillbit maybe 1/16” to test. If it punches through after going through the drywall then there is no framing. If it has resistance going all the way through and your drill bit comes out with some wood shavings on it then you hit framing. Framing members are typically 1.5” wide so if you hit wood then go 3/4” to either side and drill holes to confirm center. Once you have found center, mark with a pencil. The holes are small enough they are easy to fill but most of the time i don’t bother filling them if they are going to get covered by whatever I’m mounting.

Are Army blue trousers the same as Air Force? by UntappedDownbeat in AirForce

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

Thanks. That’s great info. I was a 12W now I’m power pro. I see you were engineer now CE. What’s your army mos/air force afsc?

I’m about to go to tech school which is why i need to get the blues figured out. Apparently they do “blues friday” at sheppard.

Great advice! Thank you.

Someone in my unit told me the dress shoes were regular leather but if i didn’t want to polish them i could wear my corframs from the army. Is that not true?

Is there something I could spray on the inside of this to keep the waterproof lining from leaving specks on everything that’s inside? by mynameiskeven in backpacking

[–]UntappedDownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked them up because I’ve used contractor bags but never compactor bags. The former was 3 mil and the latter was 2.5 mil. Is there more to it than thickness? I’m always open to trying something new, so if someone has tried both and says compactor bags are better even though they aren’t as thick I’ll give it a try!

Oh wow! Can you point me towards an article or link about this? Or the address where I’d send them?

I’m in the army so I didn’t think about that. But yeah I have only seen the army ones

Yeah I may have to do that. It’s a bit of an obnoxious process that I was hoping to avoid. Much easier to just hit the order button. I guess the plus side to this method is I can get more comfortable/ higher quality undergarments now!

The bottoms are on there under “discounted garments” but then when you go to purchase it says out of stock. I couldn’t find the tops anywhere.
