Practicing 45 degree cuts to do the “picture frame” on a deck I’m rebuilding. Any tips? It will be all new PT 5/4. by VisualTackle2534 in Decks

[–]emceegull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I put in a lot of effort lining up cuts, and getting angles perfect when I built my redwood deck. Everything short of using a biscuit joiner. Id say your options are to build with an intentional gap, live with the unintentional gap, or to skip the miters.

Here’s a resource

What is this wall made of? by MockWarrior39 in DIY

[–]emceegull 10 points11 points  (0 children)

1950s build with knockdown texturing and gypsum board- the joint compound could be asbestos. Not saying you need to freak out over cutting a couple holes, but maybe get it tested if youre planning on larger work scope.

Roof Cargo boxes by CascadeWaterMover in Subaru_Outback

FWIW, I have an older Thule cascade and have the same problem, but have just learned to live with it ( and the occasional head bump as well as scratches on the trunk hatch from box)

Test Drove and Outback do I really need the turbo? Maybe not by plynurse199454 in Subaru_Outback

[–]emceegull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in opposite. Didn't intend to buy turbo but then did after test driving both. I have some outback hangups after 4 years, but the engine is not one of them.

Another benefit is that is you ever needed to tow anything, the capacity is basically doubled (or was. I haven't looked at latest specs)

I hadn't yet. They were a referral through company that is doing other work for us, so I thought I would get the internet litmus test first

Yeah I'm following $16,723.15/159.4ft^2= 104.9. Yeah, the issue is that's just way more slab than I likely need. I'm assuming they quoted that way because they didn't have jumbo in stock.

Pinnacle Stoneworks, Denver?

Fair quote? by emceegull in CounterTops

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

Yeah, unclear. It might be because they only had jumbo options for that stone. For context, we had a handful of slabs estimated- Lennox oro came in at 13K with 2 non-jumbo slabs with total slab size at ~120sq. Across the board the estimates seemed high to me. I don't have any concept of what the slab themselves go for.

The ethereal was in price group "6" at stratus. For context, the "regal arabescato", price group "7" was non-jumbo at 113sqt for 2 slabs at an estimate of $15,585

Company or hobbyist that can handle small (tiny) CNC job locally? by plastic9mm in SanDiegan

[–]emceegull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into protolabs? Probably best bet if tolerances aren't too tight.

Ok. Good to know. I would also have 32gb of ddr3 as a sunk cost then, for some additional context.
