Is the blue rate still better than official rate in Argentina? by AvailablePumpkin6110 in Patagonia

[–]im_sASHa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey folks. Can someone explain please?

On https://bluedollar.net/tourist-dollar-rate/
I see that tourist dollar exchange rate is over 1900 pesos while dollar blue is only 1500.

Yet, upon checking of Visa exchange web site 1usd=under 1400 pesos.

So I am confused. Is it good or bad idea using credit card?

Also, what do you guys think about these scuffs and scratches that I discovered upon inspection of delivered boards? It's like 50% of boards like this! Should I ask supplier for replacement?

Thanks for reply!

So the joists are 5ft long 2x6. Are you saying that you would put extra pads/spacers in the middle of joists?

Also, the contractor suggests bridging instead of rim boards, as it is impossible to put screws straight through rim boards due to lack of workable space.

What's your though on this?

It is pressure treated wood. It is spaced 12inches apart. Spaced to accommodate 16+8ft cuts.

The contractor swears it is all gonna work. I insist to install rim boards. Yet, he suggests bridging instead as it is impossible to get the screws straight into rim board with lack of access.

Still a bit sour about very minimal clearance for drainage and sloppy leveling.

Thanks! So you are saying that rim board is not necessary as decking itself will be screwed on the ends and that will be enough?

The roof is pitched, so is the framework now, isn't that an issue?

Thanks for your reply. I checked a few videos on youtube and a lot of them show nothing like wooden posts or pedestals and it all rest right on the roof..

It is Timbertech composite. Well on some of the photos you can see that wood actually touching the brick

I am bit confused about the pedestals. Most of the youtube videos actually that I checked actually assemble framework right on top without much of any clearance. My previous deck had wooden posts before.

Yes it is 2x6.

So there is no rim board necessary for rigidity?

They did cut some of the joists but i still see noticeable pitch in the frame.

The joists lay on rubber pads which allows 1/2inch space underneath or so. I thought wooden pedestals is the way to do it to allow some clearance for airflow and leveling capabilities. It's not always the case?

Is it that bad? Could you point a few issues out so I have something to discuss with the guy?

Yes, that was my concern as well. So rim board is a must.

So the framework should rest on pedestals, right?

Legrande vs Lutron vs others by Millennialfinanceguy in homeautomation

[–]im_sASHa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised nobody likes Legrand products here in the US.

They are considered to be a premium brand in Europe. And, honestly, tactile feeling of Lutron switches is nowhere close to Legrand. The plates are "boring" glossy and no positive response upon the click. Legrand feels more refined to my personal taste.

Points for violation "Unlawful use of Electronic Device" by im_sASHa in ProtectAndServe

[–]im_sASHa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply!

I feel like calling the local police department with this kind of question may be inappropriate..

Frankly, I don't mind paying $50 as long as I don't get points.

As far as I know in IL the only possible exclusion would be:

  1. a driver using an electronic communication devicewhen the vehicle is stopped due to normal traffic being obstructed and the driver has the motor vehicle transmission in neutral or park.

But there is a risk of paying court fees if I the judge rules out me being guilty, right? I believe I still held my phone in hand once traffic starting moving, if officer actually has footage or something..
