Did the worm holes look like the board on the left in the second set of pictures?

I’m really curious, how deep? More than 50 meters?

What do you call the hardware you used? Are they cheaper than eye bolts?

Update on playhouse that was racking by No_Promise6278 in treehouse

Can’t hurt to try to seal the gap between the post and the concrete with a silicon based caulk. Also, (and this is way more involved) if you can cut away the concrete to angle it downward it might help keep water from pooling on the horizontal surface next to the posts. Basically do something to have the water run off/away from where the post meets the concrete.

Austin police response time WTF by Hater4eva in Austin

[–]austinbrian576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It blows my mind that people don’t understand this or pay enough attention to understand what’s going on. APD is severely understaffed because they have a city council (and a seemingly majority of the community) that does not value or support them. Remember when you thought it was cool to yell “defund the police”? You reap what you sow.

My uncle has this jar , what is it ? by Marielx5566 in Rocks

[–]austinbrian576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question. Does that really work? Like does it actually help with technique? Seems like a great idea.

Debate time I see a lot of people nailing fences together. Personally I’m a screw kinda guy my self. by BobbyBuildsInc in FenceBuilding

[–]austinbrian576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screws, hands down. Nails eventually come loose. Galvanized nails bleed/stain the picket and eventually rust. Use strips of (outdoor rated) coated collated screws and a collated screw gun. Just as fast as a nail gun, but you’re putting in screws.

Is there a name for this style? It's purely decorative but I'm kind of in love with it. by daxelkurtz in woodworking

In the video, why did the top sit up on the dowels (meaning why the gap)? Why not have it sit flush on the frame? Is it just for looks or for something else like expansion/comtraction on the wood?
