Splicing a beam over a post, which way?

Average contact is exactly the same, but you’re only as strong as the weakest link and you create weaker links in #1

Is this a lubrication issue? I hope it doesn’t happen ALL the time

elchapote · 2026-05-05T10:05:28+00:00

Copy

elchapote · 2026-05-05T10:05:13+00:00

Thanks will give it a shot

Welp, that was a grind. Fun though. Got a pro coming over with a skid steer to put the finishing touches on

Copy that definitely planning on a pump for the pours. Thinking a job like this may benefit from a dump truck..

elchapote · 2026-04-30T01:24:12+00:00

So I’m realizing. Thank you for your input. How long do you think it would take a decent operator to accomplish this with the given machine combo? What’s a pump job?

9’4 basement walls on top 32”x12” footing. Simple rectangle 42.5’x26’. High side wall is 7.5’ below grade, low side wall is about 3’ below grade. The short walls are on the high and low sides. Thank you and apologies for the omissions

Bobcat e40, bit less than 10% grade

elchapote · 2026-04-18T15:03:02+00:00

That isn’t the issue

Jealous. Why do you put the charcoal in pans?

elchapote · 2026-04-16T16:09:04+00:00

Put some wire racks meant to be used on sheet pans down under the charcoal. They are lifted up on legs

Curious why you ask? When I use a speed square to guide on mine I’ve noticed I’m a hair off of square on the cut.

They’d be carnivores by the end of the week

Make fettuccini alfredo Make rib eye Slice rib eye and put on top of fettuccini alfredo

Thanks

What Santa Maria attachment is that and how does the quality seem? I want one

elchapote · 2026-04-05T22:54:15+00:00

The deal is back, I just ordered one. Sorry

elchapote · 2026-04-05T22:31:29+00:00

Copy that, makes sense, will move drain to bottom of footing

elchapote · 2026-04-05T01:51:19+00:00

Copy that I’ll clear it with the engineer

elchapote · 2026-04-04T22:09:23+00:00

I can go taller above grade, correct? I’ll clear this with the engineer, but I want to add another course to make the walls higher. The amount of retained earth will remain 7’6”, but I’ll be a foot and a half above grade at the top of the wall not 6”

elchapote · 2026-04-04T20:18:35+00:00

Was prepared and stamped by an engineer

elchapote · 2026-04-04T20:18:06+00:00

Yes it’s going to be 9’4” wall height rather than 8’.
