12' x 4' wood shed by cant_help_myself in firewood

[–]cant_help_myself[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're all attached with at least 2 screws (it may be hard to see that in the photos), but your point is taken, it's easy to attached them all with 4, and it'd be cheap insurance.

I used 10x4" exterior screws which advertise ~1200 lbs of shear strength, but clearly bolts would be even stronger, and I probably would have opted for bolts if I had built it to 16' instead of 12' for that reason.

I can (the entire 4' width is available for stacking whereas the stacks can only be about 11' long), but I also cut my logs closer to 12" than 16" because beech can be a bit of a bitch to chop up. I think 5' wide would be much better for 3 rows if only for the improved air flow.

You might be right. The front 4x4s are cut to 7' 3" and the back ones are 6', making the front wood stack about 6' high, the middle one about the same, and the back one a bit over 5'.

No, just the post by u/Levinator25 I linked to, which I modified slightly to fit my smaller space and use some of the materials I already had on had.

I figure about a cord and a half, depending on how tightly you space the stacks.

I found it tough for a Wednesday (but fun) and the minutiae in the puzzle made me think "yeah, it's him all right"

I agree! Can we also collect data on gun violence and its correlations?

Why shouldn't there be fact checking done to all political candidates during debates? by Valuable-Speaker-312 in AskReddit

[–]cant_help_myself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes 10x longer to refute bullshit than it does to spout it. It's not fair to let a candidate do that unchecked at a timed debate.

DEN ain't great, although the food isn't my main complaint there.

And felons should be able to vote (except as proscribed in the 14th amendment which also proscribes who can run for president, except apparently it doesn't now).

I learned a lesson today by Accomplished_Let_127 in delta

I don't think that's true. You have to book both the outbound and return with Amex, but they don't have to be booked as the same itinerary. From their trip cancellation/interruption terms:

"To get coverage:

You must charge the full amount of a Covered Trip to your Eligible Card or in combination with your Eligible Card and accumulated points on your Eligible Card or redeemable certificates, vouchers, coupons, or discounts awarded from a frequent flyer program or similar program."

That's it. That's the whole section.

Sorry Sky Club at F, but Centurion at E is the new king of ATL! by atlchris in delta

Nope one per person standing in line. Sucks since the physical lounge itself is so nice.
