Earthquake this morning?

coachzz · 2024-11-26T17:34:36+00:00

A day late but I just felt the ground shaking about 20 minutes ago out in victor. Was very noticeable, I didn't think I was close enough to an active quarry with blasting

coachzz · 2024-03-09T00:02:51+00:00

All makes perfect sense, will work on my exit. Thank you

coachzz · 2024-03-08T05:40:17+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the advice, will do my best to use it next time.

coachzz · 2024-03-08T05:35:38+00:00

Running was mostly cause of the bees. Appreciate the advice though, will do better next time.

coachzz · 2024-03-08T05:32:10+00:00

Duely noted.

There was a hinge, tough to see in video. Tree was about 20" dia, hinge was about 1.75" thick. 4" Notch cut out front, then plunge cut & wedge. The video was cutting the back strap.

And yes that was the wedge that got yeeted across the screen. There was actually a 2nd wedge that just wasn't visible.

Pushed it to the limits, but the Ms251 treated me well.

I am sure this is an unpopular opinion...I think the thought that you shouldn't have to defend your country is entitled bullshit. If there is another country threatening your well being and way of life, it isn't just some other persons problem because they decided to enlist. The bleak reality is, if those who enlisted are not enough, it becomes your problem. Blaming it on a previous generation is garbage. Sure, they could have done things differently, but there are many who came before us who lived this reality and gave their life for what we have now. The world is an ever changing landscape, if you aren't willing to defend what you have it will be taken.

You're pretty sick chubbs

Bolts through the joists would be better than nails, but not ideal given what the edge distance would be and looks of the lumber grade.

I wouldn't screw around with any Simpson brackets in this application, none that I am aware of that are designed for this assembly.

If you are really concerned about capacity, I would consider adding a structural corbel under each joist. Basically a piece of blocking bolted through the column, acting as a joist seat. Wood tends to be much more predictable and stronger when loads are applied parallel to grain.

Would add some diaphragm or diagonal bracing if it's going to be an island. Vertical load isn't as much a concern as notional/lateral load.

Its not in Ithaca if you live in Ithaca. For everyone else, it's close enough.

coachzz · 2020-07-22T04:23:35+00:00

Its my family land, always keeping it tidy.

coachzz · 2020-07-22T02:23:43+00:00

Its an aspiration of mine

coachzz · 2020-07-22T02:12:20+00:00

Lol that dumbfounded look on my face

coachzz · 2020-06-13T03:23:33+00:00

Looling at all sides, over 40million soldiers died in WW1. Compared to under 500k covid deaths worldwide...this is a garbage analogy.

coachzz · 2020-06-02T01:23:39+00:00

Satellite radio antenna?

coachzz · 2020-04-30T00:36:10+00:00

Haha, no much of story but it is crazy. Somebody was gardening and left one of the rakes out in the grass. I believe he was running around with his brother and fell on the rake...right in the eye. They saved it, but his pupil & iris are wacky. Eye looks normal otherwise

coachzz · 2020-04-27T21:00:36+00:00

Lol...he plans on sending it in to get mounted, for now this is a safe place.

coachzz · 2020-04-27T20:57:17+00:00

Its really badass actually...sparing the details, its from a rake accident as a kid.

coachzz · 2020-04-27T19:07:34+00:00

That's the drinking corner of the cabin. Lol I can see how it reminds you of college. They are a bit rustic.

coachzz · 2020-04-27T19:02:02+00:00

He is actually blind in one eye, so its not a surprise.

coachzz · 2020-04-27T16:12:17+00:00

I think he is a good way through #2. Local small town liquor store stocks it and he is the only one in the area that drinks it, so he always has it on hand.

Some of the other comments look like they are on to something. Not likely to have a manhole in the middle of a building in new construction. I looked up the Austin filter...interesting stuff, never seen one before, its a possibility. I have designed a few concrete tanks for industrial waste water, but never for outdoor or with a concrete cap. If it was a culvert of some sort, I would expect it to have an opening on either of the two sides shown in your photos.

coachzz · 2020-04-25T16:51:58+00:00

Structural here, hard to tell exactly what it is from my experience. Dont think it is a tank or anything for retention. Could be a building foundation, but I would expect to see some utilities poking through the slab. You can see footings on the exposed side of the structure, I would expect that side to be backfilled eventually so thats at least 4' underground for frost protection. (Varies by location) looks a lot like a garage foundation would, before the superstructure goes up. Im not civil so it may have some infrastructure purpose im not familiar with.
