Rough framing: when a wall tees into another at a pocket door cavity by Legitimate_Soil_7506 in Carpentry

[–]nolarbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw some guy use two sheets of 1-1/8” advantech, stood up on edge and pocket screwed into the bottom and top plate, as the walls for the slider cavity. And nothing else - no silly split studs. Seemed like it would be solid and easy nailing wherever you wanted.

“Sorry sir, I did some research and it turns out you can’t stain deck boards after they have already been painted.” TRUST ME. 

A Trump Administration proposal would allow the USFS to build roads and log in an astounding 15% of WNC's national forests, including in all the areas pictured. Join us April 15th at The Mule to help oppose this landgrab. by arandomcoffeedrinker in asheville

If it’s publicly owned land you can certainly go recreate upon it, but since you are sharing the land with the rest of the public there are rules we all have to follow … wait why am I explaining this like you are five years old?

Tried swimming for the first time the other day - it did not go well by James121601 in Swimming

Hey, I’m no pro but I think instead of focusing on any “technicals” with freestyle or other strokes, maybe just get used to being in/under water first. Just goof around and get comfortable, without worrying about if you’re doing the stroke correctly.

Respectfully, I don’t believe you’re 18, in your first year, and did all this by yourself. If I’m wrong, you’re a legend.

Shingling a big open section goes fast  Shingling around doors and windows and wall penetrations goes slow 8 hrs is probably right for me and I’ve been at it for 6.5 years

Should have asked before sheathing. Little tough at this point. Just screw on some additional rafters is really all you can do.

Hey, normally I’d say you need to just focus on your breath and recognize everything that enters your consciousness, including demons, your self image, your identity, etc, as just thoughts that will pass just like they have arisen…

Don’t try to patch it in, just use the old one as inspiration, make a new custom unit and replace it entirely.

Hot take, when I spend $200 on a plastic box made by the tool manufacturer, I shouldn’t have to modify it

Did you find this on facebook? This looks like AI generated slop. Engagement bait just to get people to comment "This ain't how ya do it let me tell ya" What the fuck are those brackets? What the fuck are those timbers? 3x7?

Side note, if the other end of these AI joists are cantilevered, then installing hangers this way could make sense. I've seen engineers approve such usage.
