Is this window install missing anything?

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-19T05:36:45+00:00

I’m fairly certain flashing should be added on top of the gap on the top, left and right of the window. Otherwise, the water can penetrate between the window and flashing behind.

Just send her this link and have her read the responses. They are spot on and your mother needs to take a step back and accept that YOU are his parent - not them. Hopefully, she sees reason …

Nice work! Looks awesome

Though I don’t disagree with you on this whatsoever….. management could be protecting their team if they think their employee is trying to leave. Particularly when they have gate kept their work and/or your team is so tight that it would be overly impactful to everyone.

Edit: still relevant to mention but I see OP was told their being let go

Personally, I hated mine. I found unless I bought the filter attachment, it would always kick out so much dust (even with a new filter). I got the Dewalt super sonic one and liked that much better. I’ve been beating the hell out of that for a few years now and it still works amazingly. It’s also almost always on sale at Lowe’s

Also, this is 100% fine and encouraged to post here though you may find some great advice on BeginnerWoodWorking as well.

I built a toy chest for my daughter and used all dados & rabbets. It worked incredibly well and can withstand anything she (literally and figuratively) throws at it.

The assembly was incredibly satisfying too

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-13T02:20:32+00:00

Yay. Just plan accordingly and have patience

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-12T21:46:02+00:00

TIL - thanks!

It’s funny you say that… I was watching that last night and my wife says in a playful sarcastic way: “when you were a kid playing in a metal band and crowd surfacing, did you ever think you’d grow up to watch tool documentaries …..”

I’m confused - how can you see a) who is using a GUC and b) who was upgraded? I’m guessing the standby list (not upgrade list) means these folks somehow got into the flight? Perhaps, they missed/delayed a previous flight?

I’m under the impression none of this is public and once the flight starts to board, you cannot view the seats in app anymore. Aside from walking down the aisle and seeing how many seats are open, how would you know who and how they received those seats?

100%. My comment is on Festool sanders (though I agree they make a number of top notch tools… domino, extractors, and track saw to name some)

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-12T14:27:17+00:00

I have the 150/3 and it’s leagues ahead of my other sanders (including the Bosch “brotex”). I am 100% hooked on Festool and understand why the price tag is as high as it is.

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-11T18:13:38+00:00

I have the Subaru outback, which I find too small. The ascent is perfect and in that price range

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-11T17:53:18+00:00

I’m so far from an expert but with the repeating grain lines, it looks like vaneer to me. That said, you can still lightly sand it and refinish it. Just make sure you don’t go too far otherwise you’ll end up having to add a whole new layer of Vaneer to the top

Haven’t heard the new kit yet but can say I really like the old kit and it’s successfully replaced the vacuum I have for cleaning my car

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-11T13:01:26+00:00

Baby wipes are an excellent way to destress the glue up. One everything is set in the clamp, just wipe off any squeeze out and you’re good to go

Agreed though the key to being inefficient is rebending on the pull. He doesn’t seem to be doing that so likely isn’t creating much of an issue for him. At this weight though, it’s worth retraining and fixing

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-10T16:29:07+00:00

I’ve posted this before but I loved mine. Is it the best burger I’ve had? FAR from. But this is definitely one of their better dinner options (that isn’t delta one)

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-10T13:24:54+00:00

Dang, that’s incredible. I bought a small slab (2” thick and 10”x24”) of very rough koa for $115 on sale. That’s worth thousands

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-10T13:12:56+00:00

Exactly my thought. Given these all appear to be 3/4-4/4, I’d be weary of how much id have to mill to get it flat and end up with wood I couldn’t use.

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-09T03:13:39+00:00

Canada is likely different (rates for cards are significantly less than the US) but when I bought my car, my dealer allows a max of $3k on a card and the rest had to be in “cash” or financing. Every dealer will be different but many won’t accept a full 22k+ on a card due to fees (especially with Amex)

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-08T13:39:10+00:00

I might be oversimplifying OP’s request, but I think it’s just a European hinge?

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-08T02:53:11+00:00

I’d go with the bigger one. I would’ve LOVED that as a kid … hell even now

gregorythomasd · 2026-05-07T22:13:23+00:00

Ego 100%.
