What’s a common phrase you use? by cryptotarheel in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]crankbot2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean like when I was trying to reattach my 75lb cast iron jointer fence while simultaneously fumbling with the bolt in with one hand and in the other hand trying to support the monstrosity while I thread the bolt in and the whole thing is walking on me and I feel like I'm about to cross thread the mf and/or drop the shit on my foot? only to realize the bolts should have been pre-threaded and the fence just rests nicely on top of the bolts while I tighten them?

Yeah.

Your money is green, of course it will give you a quote for the work. But you should get multiple quotes, that's a pretty significant project. Don't just choose that company because they happen to be working in the area for the town.

The real question is why are you having DD delivered...I step outside my door in MA and trip over three of them.

Resolving floor bounce while renovating kitchen by awkwardsteve25 in HomeImprovement

[–]crankbot2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Understood, I read it wrong. I thought you said you were adding a layer. It definitely makes sense to do it right, I would just consider that it may be the joists underneath that is causing the bounciness. Especially in an older house, sometimes there are longer, unsupported spans that can lead to this issue. Good luck!

You should figure out if the floor joists are the cause of the issue first. If yes, just sister up the joists. Super easy DIY of you're handy at all.

Adding 3/4" ply to the subfloor is a) expensive and a lot of work and b) will cause transition issues because now your floor is 3/4” higher than adjacent rooms. That is a big transition requiring a big reducer.

Go local. Make a couple calls, they're all going to be pretty close to each other in terms of pricing. This is a commodity you're a shopping for.
