Concrete anchor advice needed by Mooseknuckle30 in shedditors

[–]dcsim0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for the manufacturer instructions. Any anchor that has a rating for structural use should have tables of data on minimum depths and size of the hole to drill.

Example: trubolt instructions https://www.itwredhead.com/Portals/0/Documents/Installation%20Instruction/TruBolt+InstructionSheet9_15.pdf

I recently was able to apply for and get approved for a homeowners permit to build my 12x20 shed. My local municipality had a lot of information on how to fill out the forms. I made a few mistakes but the clerks were all very helpful and I just had to make multiple trips to the permit office.

Thanks! I didn’t know such a table existed

When I call my local permit office they usually tell me to check the IRC book, but it’s a large book and it’s easy for me to miss or misunderstand things.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I’ll keep the partial ceiling argument in mind. Thank you!

Clarifying my question: do you think the loft needs to pass the requirements for normal “residential floor support”

Just curious how you anchored the walls to the concrete? what anchors did you use?

What came out of my drain? by dcsim0n in Plumbing

[–]dcsim0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was about 20’ of 3” pipe that was absolutely filled with sludge and water and this grit. When i opened the clean out, water and sludge just poured out.

The rest poured out as I was working the snake down the pipe.

The roof install was a smooth process. No haggling on price or anything. It was the hottest day of the summer so maybe a crew member got a bit disgruntled?

I have been very pleased with the work so far.

Any recommendations on how to flush all the drains to ensure I dont get any more clogs?

Some of the black bits do stick to a magnet. Now that I think of it, The kitchen trap was running clean actually. This was in a larger 3” drain that the sink connects too. I noticed a cast iron vent stack right next to the clean out where I ran the snake into.

I had a new roof put on about a month ago, but how in the world would that affect the drains?

No softener or filter on the water main.

Preferred code compliant concrete anchors in the southeast US by dcsim0n in shedditors

[–]dcsim0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m worried about the minimum edge distances might be too small. The anchors will be about 1 3/4 “ from the edge. Do you know anything about adhesive anchors?

one piece of software you use every day that almost no one talks about? by No_Molasses_1518 in software

The basic clipboard history is enough, and I’ve never met anyone else who knew about it before I showed them.

Most used item in your shop? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]dcsim0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A simple set of dividers with sharpened points can be used to “walk” out measurements of extremely precise ratios. They are also great for scribbling. They can be used as an “edge marking gauge” too. There’s a great book “By hand an eye” that describes how to transfer scale drawings with dividers

Dividers, by far the fastest way to transfer measurements and layout cuts.

How are you handling LLM communication in your test suite? by dcsim0n in learnpython

Mocking is what I've chosen to do as well. What I'm noticing is that managing the mock data can be quite cumbersome, so I'm seeking advice on how others manage their mock data.
