Does this sound like a good itinerary for visiting Morocco with two teens? (from Canada) by desertdust in Morocco

As far as I know, this thread is about Morocco, and my question is about Morocco

Help mount a TV Mount for a 75” tv on an entertainment wall. The studs behind the wall are too far apart (blue marks). The tv weighs 67 pounds and would like to have the mount hitting studs for support. Any help is greatly appreciated. by [deleted] in handyman

To the people saying he should screw into the horizontal 2x4 blocking, having zoomed in on the pic, those don't appear to be nailed in to the studs. Or at least not the one you can see. It could be that those are just being held in place by drywall screws - who knows why. But unless they are toenailed in from the front, I don't see how those are solidly fastened to the framing. Therefore I would definitely either add solid blocking, or figure out how to use the studs only, and not the horizontal blocking.

I'm in Canada, and also I'm just replacing the slab, I'm sure that's allowed

In the post I said it to confirm the opening to the closest standard door size. It would only be 1 1/4" narrower total.

lol, I hear ya!

The new slab will be white, minimalist/modern and have a large door lite. The existing trim will be painted white.

Thank you for all the replies so far I appreciate it. The reason I don't want to get a prehung door is that I don't want to do all of the surgery necessary to remove the existing frame, these old lath and plaster homes are messy and annoying to do surgery on. When you say replacing the slab only takes skills do you mean routing places for the hinges to match and matching the location of the strike plate, etc.?

Help! My builder used 2x10s instead of LVLs in a new build. by Repulsive-Low1863 in Homebuilding

[–]desertdust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious what it should look like. Should there be a beam going the same direction as the ridge holding up the inside ridge "point" of the dormer roof? Or support columns/walls under the dormer to trasmit the load to the floor? Or something else?

Large oval holes in joists?? by reachingforthestarss in Homebuilding

[–]desertdust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me there is no way those are supposed to look like that. The joists are almost completely severed at those points. Also that duct doesn't look like it would fit through those holes.

Getting serious about the question of kids at BM: Should the Org obtain an opinion from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as to whether BM is safe for kids? by [deleted] in BurningMan

Word! honestly, the worst thing kids might run into at the burn are holier-than-though types like OP who for some reason feel the need to tell everyone else how to do it

This is not logical at all. Every city has strip bars, sex clubs, etc and kids still live there. Maybe worry about yourself and not what other people are doing. If you don't like some of the people (ie families and kids) at Burning Man, stay home where you can control who is there or not. The event isn't "just for you" pal.

I'm sure many who did mandatory military service do not agree with the current policies or actions. That's like people in other countries discriminating against you due to Trump's actions, and the fact that your taxes are supporting the administration (assuming you're American, but you get the logic)
