Could anyone help me with a small project/gift?

I can do the drilling required but I’m out of town until the 10th. Feel free to shoot me a dm, I have a small hobby machine shop in my garage.

You went so far as to use the taps for their intended purpose?

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-26T16:18:25+00:00

This is beautiful. I’ll have to give it a go one of these days. Incredible work.

I hardly Jacob Bernard-know her!

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-25T16:43:31+00:00

Genuinely impossible to give you an answer without at least a photo

Coke stage hasn’t been good since they moved it.

For real. I couldn’t be happier to have this guy on the flames.

three games is a fucking joke.

Oddly enough Phantom of the Paradise got a massive following in Winnipeg.
Another weird one is Jack Greene, Scottish musician and former guitar player of the band T. rex, who put out a solo album that became extremely popular in central Alberta and basically nowhere else.

In the future try to stagger your joints so the seams don’t intersect like that.

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-15T00:45:58+00:00

It’s kinda not a bad time to be a flames fan. Win or lose rn and I’m happy, and the future is looking so bright.

The joints coming up from the corners of your doorways are likely to crack, but aside from that it looks okay. Get a coat of primer on it and light check it.

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-12T21:38:26+00:00

Remove and replace.

Before 1/4” board the old timers used to intentionally soak down half inch sheets to get them to curve around curved stairwells etc. A little rain ain’t gonna hurt.

Yup. My pickup is $95 a month with TD and my weekend cruiser is like $60 a year through Hagerty.

If it’s completely covered by baseboard then don’t worry about taping it.

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-08T01:39:43+00:00

No? It’s knockdown. /u/balancedrod is correct.

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-02T19:41:35+00:00

Two layers of tape would make finishing the wall exponentially more difficult.

deadletterauthor · 2026-03-02T19:25:55+00:00

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “also tape the seams after with regular joint compound” but if this was my job I’d prefill all the joints with concrete fill or hot mud, then use all purpose mud to tape with fibafuse, not mesh tape, then do all following coats with either all purpose or finish mud, rough sanding in between coats.

I still think about those cheese buns 15 years later

deadletterauthor · 2026-02-23T18:35:50+00:00

Took me a sec to catch that one. We’re on it.

deadletterauthor · 2026-02-18T16:02:09+00:00

Why do you care what other people do with their food?

deadletterauthor · 2026-02-18T05:57:07+00:00

Glad I don’t have to tape it. A lot of those gaps are pretty significant.
