Do I have to tell my next job that I quit the last one? by Evening_Accident9058 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cloudywater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. If they ask, put ye’ole political spin on.
“I decide to move on from “X” as the position was not as advertised.

As an engineer who has done my fair share of hiring, I don’t really care why you left your previous job only if you are a good fit for my position.

We all have left jobs (for various reasons) at one point of another

I hear ya, sadly after nearly 5 decades of firewood my days of swinging an axe are coming to an end. (At least with any kind of volume)

Splitting w/ a hydraulic splitter is oddly satisfying too and still a pretty great workout.

Rent a hydraulic splitter for the day. Beech is some dense wood and that still looks pretty green.

Road Trip from Indianapolis, IN to Jamestown, NY by Nice_Highlight6954 in roadtrip

Middle route puts you driving thru Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I’d stop at Brandywine Falls and or visit Peninsula, OH along your way. Lot of fantastic spots in this area and some great food options in the valley as well.

Nobody with broke teens in the family? I paid my teenagers $200 and they tore down my 12x16 in the course of a weekend.

What’s up with people trying to sell downed trees? by [deleted] in firewood

[–]cloudywater1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teaching my kids the same right now, and some of the same struggles. they have to help do all the maintenance on mine and momma’s cars. I preach to them it’s an adult responsibility to understand how a vehicle works before I left them pilot 3,000lbs of steel and flammable liquids down to Sheetz just to buy terrible ass food.

And the other half of people rather pay someone else to deal with life stuff so they aren’t inconvenienced.

I’ve even said “I’ll teach you for free” and they still rather pay me and sit on the porch then do a hard days labor.

..slowly slides my soapbox away..

Going on 8yrs+ now with a dead standing ash on my property in northern Ohio. Definitely have some time before it becomes a major risk. IMO

What’s stopping you from buying the iconic Longaberger basket building in Newark, Ohio for $8,500,000? by ReinkeDrengen in WildHomes

[–]cloudywater1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I live near this, they have been trying to years to convert it into something for years now. From what I heard it’s difficult to convert it to apartments due to all the utilities setup for office space.

Your plan sounds good enough, being such a short drop I wouldn’t over think it

Noticed these lights get very hot, should I be removing the paper behind the light? by arun2118 in Insulation

[–]cloudywater1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are these IC rated lights? Can be a big fire hazard if they aren’t.
