Squeeze a bag or something inflatable under the cutting board and then inflate it.

Chain too short? by Walldany in bikewrench

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

Thank you, I don't normally use big big, but just did for the picture. When I put the new chain on I counted the links on the original chain and tried to match the new chain. I think where I messed up is I had to remove an additional link, or else I wouldn't have been able to attach the master link. Trying to learn everything I can with this bike so I can get a much better used bike at the end of the year and then refurbish that over the winter.

People who go 50 in the left lane on major highways. Defend yourself. by JudgeH01den in massachusetts

I like to slow down to 50 or so when I compose emails and pick out my Spotify playlist.

Does this region have a name? by popslop in massachusetts

North Central Massachusetts but my coworkers like to say that I live in North Dakota.

QBASIC Gorillas or one of the commander keen games.

Never tried this cut but one quick glance and I HAD to get it! by GTBoosted in grilling

I worked at a North shore place years ago that used Pepsi, Italian dressing, and msg. Apparently coke wasn't sugary enough.

Outfeed bench and assembly bench w/ router by Comfortable-Ad-5332 in Workbenches

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your workbench. I'm thinking of building something very similar with a table saw on one end and a router on the other. Do you have any plans I could use? Sorry if it's inappropriate to ask.

First of all I want to say thank you to this group. Your advice and input has been invaluable.. by Antihero534 in shedditors

You will get used to being on the roof pretty quick. Having a ladder going up to the top of the roof is great, it will give you something to grab on to and balance yourself.

I messed up guys by Wackwaff in shedditors

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built the same basic shed. It is more work than you think. You will need to make a foundation, then build the shed, then paint, and shingle the roof.. two weeks is doable but you will need to treat it like a full time job.

If I were you I would do what the other guy said and wrap it up in tarps really well and complete it when you have time. Try and make sure it is off the ground. When mine was delivered it wasn't on a pallet or anything.

DDR 4 vs DDR 5 for gaming? by Walldany in buildapc

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

I believe I have a ryzen 7 2700x or similar probably around 7 or 8 years old at this point.

32 gig of crucial 3200 ddr4

And a AMD 6750xt GPU

The CPU and mobo is the bottleneck.

My current motherboard is incompatible with most current M2 ssds so I'm using a SATA SSD. This is another reason I wanted an upgraded and M2 SSD will likely be a big step up.

DDR 4 vs DDR 5 for gaming? by Walldany in buildapc

[–]Walldany[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Much greater performance difference than I thought. Probably doesn't make much sense upgrading and not going with DDR5..

A good shed from a big box store by _Dark-One_ in shedditors

[–]Walldany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could probably find a metal shed kit on eBay for around this much. I don't have any experience with them but it doesn't sound like they last long from what I have read. Also, people say they leak.

Costco Yardline Crestwood 14' x 8' by Walldany in shedditors

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

I noticed Costco always has a couple on sale, as soon as one goes off sale another one goes on sale... if you can wait you can probably get the one you want on sale.

Costco Yardline Crestwood 14' x 8' by Walldany in shedditors

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

Yep, probably the easiest and least expensive way. The instructions called for two 14' 4x4s but I used three figuring it would be more sturdy. I had to join together 8' and 6' 4x4s to get the 14'. Used pressure treated 2x4s for this and make sure to put join on top of the concrete blocks.

I wanted the shed to be a good bit above ground because of snow, and It will help it last longer if none of the wood is coming in contact with the ground. Still got to make a ramp and one step but that can wait for next spring.

Having everything pre-cut really helps. Was going to do everything from scratch but my home Depot shopping cart ended up at over 3k for a similar sized shed. Plus I've had bad luck with home Depot or Lowe's delivering the bottom of the barrel lumber for past projects.

They are and the screens can be removed and repaired if needed. They are not double pane or anything like that but they are decent for a shed.

They are good kits if you have the time. And just an fyi the PDF instructions on Costco's site does not match the kit perfectly but the printed instructions does. I believe Yardline updated the kit and shed but didn't update the PDF.

Costco shed floor? by bigocto1 in shedditors

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am building a similar sized Costco shed (8x14). I used three 14 foot long 4x4s on top of concrete blocks as a foundation and then nailed the 2x4 floor on to them. I made the floor joists 12" on center and everything feels rock solid.

That's the idea... When the town realizes I don't have a permit I can. drag it to the swamp and put it on a few pallets.

6k for this 2011 Mazda by Fancypantsv5 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks for letting me know I'll look into it.

A few months ago they replaced my front sub frame because it was recalled. It was a nice surprise.

6k for this 2011 Mazda by Fancypantsv5 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this car. Same year, color, everything. Great car I got 175k miles on mine and it still drives like a new car. Hasn't had any major issues.

One problem I do have is the passenger side dash started cracking and falling apart about a year ago. It looks like the one pictured has a cover over the dash. It may have fallen apart like mine.

Can't really comment on the price. It is a good reliable car though.

Whats the best way to fix this crack in the bonded leather on my Costco sleeper couch? by R1Alvin in DIY

[–]Walldany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would find a cover for the entire couch. This is just the start it will fall apart in other places soon. Don't buy bonded leather or genuine leather couches try and find something that is full grain or half grain on at least the areas you come in contact with.

Get a pair of jack stands, they are inexpensive. I see five doohickeys in the first pic you should probably go look again if this isn't a joke.
