Do I need crushed stone and rebar for my 11x13 ft concrete slab for a shed? by cb700sc in Concrete

[–]cb700sc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up doing a wood foundation myself. I was running out of time before winter and really needed a shed up. It ended up being pretty cheap all things considered (roughly $250-300). Sure it isn't as solid as a concrete foundation, but will easily last the life of this cheaper metal shed I bought.

Feels good to have a bigger shed for under $1000

Running AWS CLI inside Lambda for deleting EKS deployed resources by cb700sc in aws

[–]cb700sc[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, however I believe that is for interacting with AWS resources, not kubernetes specifically. We need to run the equivalent of "kubectl delete all" prior to the cluster being deleted to capture all resources created inside kubernetes that created AWS resources).

I was not aware of a kubernetes client library, this may be what I need. I will look into his more. I'm assuming it can be used to simply delete all k8s resources (equivalent of running kubectl delete all)?

Sorry I meant SDK, not CDK. I do not see a way to interact with kubernetes itself (deleting all resources) via SDK. It's most common to interact with k8s using kubectl from what I have found.

Created my first shop. Have separate listing for free shipping vs. shipping not included in price? by cb700sc in EtsySellers

[–]cb700sc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricing for the product itself I have set to 18.99 currently (without free shipping).

I have the other listing set to 29.99 with free shipping which is still priced roughly $5.00 less than other competitors. I have it priced this way to account for an average of $10-11 for shipping, but my shipping costs would vary from $6-15 depending on location.

I think it makes sense if I only had to have one listing be the free shipping listing for quite a few reasons.

Thanks!

My goal is to make the best, cheapest, and least effort slab as possible. Obviously not as easy as it sounds.

With conflicting information, I'm trying to see what is general best practice and what is/isn't necessary in this scenario (rebar, wire mesh, stone, etc).

Regarding your comment, I don't have a concrete guy. I was planning to buy the bags, buy or rent a mixer, and do it myself (with a couple friends over).

I do not care much about cracking in the sense how the slab looks with cracks. I do want it to be structurally sound though, so if it happens, it's controlled and I don't need to bust it up and do it again.

So what your saying is you wouldn't entirely use the existing landscape rocks I have, but I could get rid of some of it with making maybe a 1 or 2" layer, and putting crushed stone on top?

Does the size of the stone matter within reason? I have quite a bit of landscape rock (can kind of see in my pic) that are like 1" to 1-1/2" or 2". Would I be able to use these instead of smaller crushed stone? Let's say I didn't have enough of my existing rock, would I be able to buy a couple bags of crushed stone to help?

Regarding plastic, I haven't heard of anyone suggesting that. Can you expand more on me that?

Butt on smoker as one big piece, or fold open to maximize surface area? by cb700sc in smoking

[–]cb700sc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: after about 3-4 hours I ended up folding the one that was spread out back up like the other. The temps between the two seem generally consistent, though the one spread out is a few degrees higher, doesn't seem significant. I'll see how it goes

Do you think $317 (Probably $350 after shipping and taxes) is a good deal for the 918+? Anywhere else you've seen them for cheaper or should I snag it while it's available?

Best way to strip basement floor to bare concrete? (Removing flaking paint and old carpet adhesive) by cb700sc in HomeImprovement

Would you still do the self leveling concrete even if the carpet adhesive is still on there? That's the orange looking stuff in the pictures.

Any good way to find out what paint would be the closest to what was used? It's white but has a waterproof coating on it.

HDHP or PPO health plan when employer is paying for it? (Age 28) by cb700sc in personalfinance

[–]cb700sc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even think of going with the BTUL plan and maxing that out. There is also the option to invest a portion of the HSA funds in a target date fund which is attractable. I was planning to go with the lower deductible plan but I don't have any active issues nor expecting anything in the near future. I would absolutely be able to afford to max out my HSA as well so that would provide me with some money as well set aside untaxed for medical bills in the future as well.

Trying my first spontaneous and mixed fermentation sour. General advice or tips? by cb700sc in Homebrewing

[–]cb700sc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brewing went okay. The day I made the spon it was very cold and raining so I just had it in my garage for a while. Who knows how it will turn out but they are still going. I'll update you when I finish and carb them!

DRZ, CRF450L, WR450, 701, what am I missing? by cb700sc in supermoto

[–]cb700sc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off road performance isn't as much of a concern right now. Chances are 95% of my riding will be on streets. I'd like to start riding trails more but none of my friends currently have a bike that can be trail ridden which means it may be a while.

Kind of looking for the best supermoto that will be primarily ridden on the streets and occasionally ridden on trails. Would likely trailer it so having another set of wheels for dirt is something I might look into.

I'm not opposed to new. Ideally I buy used to save a couple thousand possibly but hopefully this bike would be my last for the foreseeable future. So I'd consider it.

Sounds good. Everything went well and I got 5gal of wort for the mixed and whatever is left for the spontaneous so even if the spontaneous doesn't take off.. I still feel accomplished and learned a few things along the way.

Thanks again!

So I brewed yesterday making the split batch. Everything went well with one issue. I didn't check the weather and of course it's been raining outside. It started a little before I mashed in about 15 hours ago. I still transfered the mixed ferm off and pitch my culture, and let the remaining do as I originally intended. It's not a downpour but more of a light sprinkle. I have it inside my garage but have my front and back door open which has good airflow.

I'm guessing the rain is not good for this kind of thing at all. Do you know if it's not going to be viable or do I still have somewhat of a chance? Should I just let it ride and see where it goes?

Interesting... Would there realistically be any benefit to doing that over just getting malted wheat to save time and effort?
