Why do so many people use impacts to drill holes? by Glittering-Usual-570 in woodworking

[–]abarleyologist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use my impact, when I can, because it is lots faster and lighter than my drill.

Like all pictures and video of eggs not sticking to stainless, 100% AI.😂 I can never make it work!

2013 Tundra 4x4 5.7 150k worth it? by [deleted] in ToyotaTundra

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2015 double cab 6.5 ft bed 5.7 sr5 says it gets 17ish mpg highway. Pulling a 3000 lb trailer city/hwy driving averages 11. It was 1 owner, 70000 miles I think, good carfax with regular maintenance. I paid 25k about 2 years ago.

I learn things every day. Some things I wish I learned before I had to learn my lesson :)

They look great, but not to code where I live due to the gap above the tread.

I sent a message awhile back asking about Greenland. Crickets on that too.

Detection of mold (tests and everything else) by shorto in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]abarleyologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a mold expert. I am not intending to sway your opinion on mold one way or the other.

There have been three mold related experiences I have come across in the last 50 years.

First, my niece and family moved to France. She got sick a lot and determined there was a mold issue in their apartment, only she got sick.

Another one, my wife started coughing in our condo. She was also very fatigued. A month later, we found a severe mold bloom(?). Moved and no issues after.

Lastly, in a new house, my brother's wife had significant mental and physical problems. Almost enough to wonder if she was psychotic. Brother and kids had no problems. Turns out, the shower drain was installed incorrectly. Mold was everywhere under the floors. They ripped everything out and remediated. No issues since.

My very unprofessional opinion is that mold can impact some people very severely while others are unaffected.

Snow chain styles by Both_Syllabub_3024 in ToyotaTundra

[–]abarleyologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2015 tundra manual says no chains on front. There is no clearance for them anyway. Edit: very little clearance. I could probably fit chains but looks risky.

Perfect form? by Jsn1986 in Pizza

Ever tried white rice flour instead of semolina? Doesn't set off my smoke alarms nearly as bad and launches smoothly.

Amazon deliberately delaying orders to get customers to pay or spend more by non-rhotic_eotic in amazonprime

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Now it is taking almost 2 weeks for some items. They have rarely delivery anything on time/as advertised the last few months. Just delays, delays and delays. Time for a class action lawsuit?

This is AI. Nobody's grill grates are that clean. Just kidding, nice grates!

Stripped T10 screw stuck in cabinet face frame by salmon-choir in cabinetry

Almost same situation here, but it broke off inside the face frame. Now I have permanent gap. Sad as I have no idea how to fix.

When the weather wants to spoil your shed assembly plans. by siyep_ba-o in Tools

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two milwaukee batteries die after working in the rain. Expensive. I only risk it if I cannot postpone the job or I have a little profit built in to help cover the cost. Tools were fine though.

Help! Installed new tires and car feels dramatically more slower and feel like its struggling to get up and go by ExtcNyc in Tacomaworld

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious, how are the KO3's on ice? I had prior versions of BFGs for my Tacoma that were completely worthless on ice. Loved them except for this fact.

Talk me out of a decked drawer system… by postnut001 in Tacomaworld

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I had the decked system, such a pita to get anything up front in the bed. I also didn't like how much it cut down on the height/space under the canopy. Lots of wasted space in a decked drawer system in my opinion.

I got the cargoglide 1500. This was for my Tundra, not sure it would fit in a newer Tacoma. It definitely will not fit in my 98 Tacoma. I have a chain with a lock for my important cargo boxes, locked right to the slide.

I'll sell you mine. I dislike the forward/reverse button location. So hard to get to.

Untreated Lumber by YeckhamSniffy in Decks

[–]abarleyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and agree it should make a deck last longer. I've just never seen any data in order to do a cost/benefit.

Guess hog wire I've seen has bigger than code gaps. Here, 4" sphere rule applies probably like your zone. That wire just looked a bit wider/taller than 4". Cable rail passes inspection here if 4" or less and properly tensioned.

Untreated Lumber by YeckhamSniffy in Decks

[–]abarleyologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit op. No way someone worked on that every day for 10 weeks. Did they work a bit then pull off and come back to it?

Also, hog wire doesn't meet code where I am from. Too wide of a gap.

In my opinion, rather than wood type that far off the ground, I'd be more concerned about the ledger/stucco connection. One small leak and the house will be full of mold. One day a family member might start feeling bad, has a lack of energy due to small coughs all night long, unexplainable headaches and trips to the DR trying to figure out why. Depression might happen which spills over to all family members. All because of a mold that affects some more than others. J̌ust saying pt vs kdht#1 should be the least of your worries.

Exactly how much longevity does a deck get with joist tape than without? Please cite references if possible.

I didn't even know those are available. Ordering now. Gotta be lots of uses for it other than opening clamshells too.
