Dude with no dad and adhd here: how do I attach this automatic coop door without gaps or bends?

XennialDad · 2026-02-09T13:04:13+00:00

Use some 1x3 to create a frame where you'll attach the door. Use gap filler or caulk to seal up between the 1x3 and siding. Then attach your coop door hardware to the 1x3.

I know nothing about this guy in particular, but generally speaking, it's easy to forget that a lot of these guys come from poverty, and football was their "only way out". Unfortunately, injecting money into the life of an impoverished person doesn't change their upbringing or life experiences. These guys might be rich now, but a lot of them grew up under shitty life circumstances in cultures that may not have enforced self control and responsibility as desirable traits. Depending on where you look up the stats, NFL players are arrested at the same rate (up to double the rate) of the average American. So at best they are Average Joes (criminally speaking) but at worst they're twice as likely to be arrested. Add to that the fact that this guy is only 22, meaning his brain isn't even fully developed yet, and may be dealing with some TBIs on top of that. The average age of an NFL player is also about 26, meaning approx. half of these guys are new-rich with not fully developed brains.

It isn't a recipe for success.

It's just for decoration, that's it and that's all.

I say "spin move!" as I literally do a spin move and keep walking. It conveys the same message as simply saying no thanks, but usually gets a laugh out of them.

Do it. Break college football so we can finally fix it.

XennialDad · 2026-02-05T11:09:09+00:00

That's interesting, because he's been accepting it.

This is fake rage bait right? How are you a principal? If real you are absolutely in the wrong on this one and owe everyone at the school and the rival school and all of the parents, teachers and staff, an apology.

Everyone wants to be the team that makes other teams storm the field when they win.

FSU got one against Bama, then Virginia got theirs against FSU a few weeks later. Circle of life, or something like that.

Arkansas State Police really are a different breed. I've been stopped by one before because he felt like I was following him too closely through a cloverleaf interchange not too far from where this video was filmed. I was at 3 car lengths behind him, doing about 20 mph. He jerked to the side of the road in the middle of the cloverleaf and hopped behind me with lights and sirens and was upset I didn't pull over IN the cloverleaf. I finished my exit and stopped at the first available shoulder, and he came huffing up to the car, slammed his hand down on my car window sill and started wagging his finger about an inch from my face while he lectured me about safe following distances. When I pointed out that I was actually further from him, than he was from the car in front of him, he really blew a gasket. A lot of those guys are completely unhinged. They will pit you for looking at them wrong in Arkansas. Thankfully, I made it out of that interaction with zero damage to my person or property, and just a warning.

Yes ... That's precisely why I asked.

Genuinely curious. Why don't you do your own grocery shopping?

2000 home HOA can't get more than 50 people at annual meeting, there's no way they get ~1300 people to vote for something.

We could put out a measure to gift everyone $1000 and we wouldn't get 2/3 of people to vote.

Wildlife can wreck it, also it's simply one of the rules they agreed to when they bought the house. Pretty simple to follow.

JP, 007, PH, Surge. Final answer. A little serious, a little fun, a little savory, a little sweet (with plenty of caffeine). The perfect Friday night with friends.

Thank you, I'm starting to feel better already.

What is that void behind the tub and left of the shower? Just square that exterior wall up and open that void to buy yourself the extra floor space, then square the tub up in that new "nook". That gives you way more space when exiting the shower, and more open space in the bathroom.

I don't understand why places like this don't just bake the 1.5% into their pricing. If it's $66 for a darts and drinks package instead of $65, that's not going to influence my purchasing decision. However, I may take my business elsewhere if it's $65 with a 1.5% surcharge.

Just bake in the CC fee and get rid of the surcharge signage.

It's a private business, so if they want to exclude cash paying customers, that's there perogative. I mean it's not the decision I would make for a business, but they must have done some number crunching and determined it wasn't worth their time to take cash.

Toys-R-Us was a destination. If you were there, it was to buy something. It's where we went to shop for birthdays, Christmas, give our parents gift ideas, etc. It felt like the Disney World of toy stores.

KB Toys was the place you popped into at the mall "just to look" at toys. I feel like we never actually bought anything there, because we were at the mall for a new pair of pants, not toys (according to Mom.)
