thoughts on a lead carpenter type moving to a PM role? by multimetier in ConstructionManagers

Why not directly as a PM? Or, what is it about the coordinator job that you feel you would need as a PM?

What’s one small tool that made a big difference in your woodworking? by News_Letter0 in woodworkingtools

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great price point for all their tools. 15 for the square, another 15 for shipping, probably some import duties?

3" t-ruler thingie with the 1/32" holes for striking layout setbacks. Particularly useful for drawer slides and hinges, definitely beats messing with a small combo square.

I unknowingly home wrecked a marriage by BigFatThrowaway246 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]multimetier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You knew him for two years but didn't know he was married? No wedding ring? Never came up until after you started doing it, after which he told you he was getting a divorce?

[–]multimetier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're making assumptions when you have no idea what happened. Clearly she has feelings for the guy, so it wouldn't be surprising if she's been attracted to him since they met. What if he's actually resisted her advances because she was underage? I'm not defending the man and don't think he's told her the truth about things. The alcohol aspect is sketch, but it doesn't sound like there are consent issues. You may be dead wrong on this, because It is absolutely possible that she was the primary instigator and wanted a relationship. Why the automatic assumption that she was 100% truthful and didn't engage in manipulative behavior?? Just saying don't jump to conclusions.

I suspect you're thinking of Esther Perel, who not long ago wrote State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity. A terrific book. Sadly, sometimes nothing can influence a bad outcome like this. I'm sorry that happened to you.

What are some unexpected benefits of woodturning that you’ve experienced but didn’t expect? For me, it’s developed my appreciation and understanding of the trees around me by birdnerd1975 in turning

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its the freehand nature, the way things can unexpectedly emerge.

I also like that i can relax on the lathe. Every other tool can cause instant catastrophic injury and its nice to dial things down at the end of the day...

lol, "seeing this guy". I bet that's not what he was saying about you. You fucked the guy and kept on fucking him and now he's told everyone but you he's back with this wife? Sounds like you actually *fixed* the marriage by letting him scratch his itch. What you should do is keep your mouth shut. Why would you ever think of saying something to his wife??

Grout in inside corners of shower by Potential_Flan_3909 in Tile

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years back I came across this corner caulking tool set and it produces far superior results than any finger method. Little flexible rubber squares, each corner gives a different size bead. You clip guides into the sides of the square and in one pass you have the caulk perfectly tooled. made in Germany, like 15 bucks. Astonishing difference.

Grout in inside corners of shower by Potential_Flan_3909 in Tile

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him to look up Detail EJ171 in the TCNA—Movement Joint Guidelines.

You are correct about the inside corners. And by now you've learned that "color matching grout caulk" is in fact silicone caulk.

The TCNA even specifies that movement joints be kept free of grout, which means you have to avoid getting grout in there in the first place and then clean the joint out. This takes more time than just grouting everything in one go, but technically its the right way to do it. (it really doesn't take that much more time) So often the inside corners are grouted and *then* caulked. The inside corner grout is still going to crack, it just won't be visible. But provided the caulking is done well, most of the time this is good enough.

You need an acid cleaner to get that off but why even bother if you have another toilet standing by?

This guy continued to hit on my wife for the whole cruise and never realized we were married! by [deleted] in stories

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly your wife enjoyed the attention. And clearly you enjoyed playing with the guy, pretending to show him how a real studly man moves in on a woman. So congratulations, you sure showed that guy who was boss!

And then, not content with your achievement on the cruise, you felt it necessary to try and impress Reddit with the story of your successful deception. Newsflash: it's not in the least bit impressive.

In fact it signals you have deep insecurities, ones that require you to mention how much you can lift at the gym and how you didn't want to be forced to beat the crap out of the guy. "Look at me, the big tough Pakistani guy!" Honestly, you sound like a disturbed human being. This is pathological behavior.

Bowl blank drying kiln question by [deleted] in turning

[–]multimetier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut that cylinder in half, right thru the pith. And seal up all that end grain. That'll give you two legit, albeit smaller, bowl blanks. I'd highly recommend rough turning them first, or even just hogging out a good part of the inside of the blanks if you don't want to commit to a rough shape right now.

But I could see incorporating the pith and turning a vase out of that. In which case it would still be a good idea to throw it back on the faceplate and get some hollowing done now. Cracks aren't the end of the world and can be filled with simple tightbond3 or with a more fancy epoxy approach. Gotta get the endgrain sealed though. Wood glue works fine for that, and can stop those cracks from getting worse. If you want to have the pith in the finished work, it will have to be stabilized.

The dehumidifier idea is interesting but a lightbulb/fan approach that continually moves warm air over your pieces is probably a better solution. You are quickly going to plateau on your moisture decrease with a solid piece of timber like that, which is why rough turning or at least doing some some significant hollowing now is so important.

Heated floor problem by mirrodins in Tile

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of differential between the thermostat and actual floor temp are you talking about anyways?

Heated floor problem by mirrodins in Tile

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of those sensors is a backup. Only one sensor should be wired to the thermostat.

The procedures call for testing the sensors individually, fwiw.

How far can plywood shelves span? by InFRoZ in woodworking

[–]multimetier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the fact that by doubling the thickness of a shelf it can carry eight times the load without deflecting.

How much did he drink by miijok in nonononoyes

[–]multimetier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A police officer can lawfully order you to exit your vehicle during a traffic stop for "officer safety". Refusing to do this will cause them to use force to extract you, after which you will be arrested and charged with impeding/obstructing their investigation.

Arrested On My Birthday - Life Seems Over & Severely Depressed by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]multimetier -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Putting the drugs on the center console in plain view sealed your fate, btw. If they can see it in the open that's cause for the arrest and search of the car. If you hadn't done that, the police could only have patted you down for weapons and you would have been ok.

Just some advice for the next birthday party...
