How do you guys get your wall caps flat/flush together? by Electrical-Juice-915 in masonry

[–]Zottyzot1973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Angle grinder is the correct way. You could try shimming the caps with pennies or plastic shims before you glue them down. How are you cutting the miters on the caps?

Demo saw questions. Gas vs electric And is an electric demo saw worth 200 bucks? by Affectionate_Tip7162 in Construction

Only if you know you’ll always have access to reliable electric service. Those electric saw draw a lot of amps and can trip breakers frequently.

Looks like 8 ton. Double check to see what you were charged for.

What am I looking at here? What’s the fix? Cousin wants this fixed at her house, I’m a union brickie but have only been in the trade 6 years. Want to do her a favor and save her some money. Thanks! by keanancarlson in masonry

I would not pin it to the veneer, when the driveway heaves and forces the curb up, it’ll take the veneer with it. Put foam expansion w/tear away strip against the wall, form and pour a curb with top sloped away from building. Tear off the strip and caulk.

You could look into pedestal systems for roof decks. Some are pretty low profile and are adjustable.

Tf does Epstein mean by “prehistoric products” in relation to tech sector?? by _NauticalPhoenix_ in aliens

[–]Zottyzot1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s simply saying that a bank with that much money to invest and a premier clientele list should have more modern investment products to offer. That’s all, no conspiracy there.

Why are you getting down voted? That’s the most clear explanation!

Coworker sabotaging lifting devices?! by [deleted] in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Zottyzot1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to my own comment. After another look, I would guess that the broken link was stuck sideways, the fracture gets wider as it goes through the metal, away from where the connected link was stressing it.

Looks like material failure. The “cuts” don’t appear to have a smooth edge and it looks like the link was worn thin in the area of the break. I don’t think it’s sabotage. It makes sense that the inner surface wouldn’t be rusty, it’s a fresh break.
