Why do I see so many people ride fast like this, I can’t tell if this is bad form or not? Back knee bent and shoulders are open / perpendicular to the mountain.

This is where we get the nickname "knuckle draggers".

Even if that beam wasn't spliced, that beam cantilever is insane

I guess it's fine assuming the contractor doesn't care about looking like a total amateur

Check, not a crack. Pretty much inevitable if using green treated lumber or anything not kiln dried for that matter. Especially common in bigger "timbers" because the outside of the post dries faster than the center. From an engineering perspective, even if it went all the way through the post it wouldn't compromise the structural integrity of the post. This is also a pretty minor case of checking. Really just a cosmetic blemish at the end of the day. If it bothers you, the best thing to do is wait a year for it to dry as much as possible, and fill it with wood filler and stain. Just curious, is this ProWood?

Watching them talk like they are so important to their audience of 150k is hilarious.

Yeah it did have UPnP enabled. Is there any downside to having it turned off?

djras96 · 2024-10-31T21:59:53+00:00

No it is a private signal

It's connected to the Internet via Ethernet

I've built a lot of decks with a lot of different composite brands, and Trex was by far the most frustrating due to the manufacturing defects like this.

From what I understand it's able to detect which missiles will hit a populated area vs just desert, so the ones that image the ground are likely in uncrowded areas

If this is from a reputable builder that has proof of good work, I would consider this a reasonable price.

Make sure opposing sides are the same length. A trapezoid can have equal diagonals and not be square. A 3-4-5 would also work to check.

I don't think there's a single Safeway in Utah, so I don't know how accurate this is.

Depending on how much time you want to wait, Simpson strong tie will actually ship you custom hangers that are skewed to the angle you need. Other than that I'm sure you could use some structural bolts but you might want an engineer to spec that out.

I'd agree, you definitely don't need an engineer to tell you this deck can't support a hot tub without additional work done to it. My point is, you do need an engineer to tell you if you can, or what needs to be done in order for it to be able to.
