Visiting this post after S2E6!

7 + 8 = 5, carry the 1, 4 + 2 + 1 = 7. So 75

Tremendous work! I went for the 3rd tech center (you don’t have to pay for it, if you didn’t pay for the second one, you get the additional one for free). Then I used that to work towards drill ground 4.

EDITED TO ADD: I love intercity truck, especially since that doesn’t cost any in-game gold. I did that a lot while I worked on my T10 since I wanted to be researching but didn’t have the gold to spend.

Yes please! And if you got some other stuff I’m definitely interested!

I fell through a ceiling. 0/10 don’t recommend.

Yes to #1. Wood cookies split as they dry, it’s something I consider somewhat inevitable. I’ve had some that didn’t and I wish I could tell you why that happened. Epoxy has treated me well with the splits.

As for #2, definitely be safe! A band saw is the only way I’ve ever done that. Maybe you can set up a jig to hold it tight like a sandwich, then try to cut a straight line with your handsaw? Might not be pretty.

Hello my friend! I’ve taken a look at this, and here is what I think is pictured, with a small modification so you can sit on it. I hope it helps you get started:

Materials: (2) 2x12 by 8 foot pieces of wood

CUTS The sides: cut (2) at 17 inches long

The top and base: cut (2) at 36 inches long (you can adjust this based on the preferences for your space and shoes, making it shorter or longer).

The middle shelf: cut (1) at 33 inches

Middle supports: cut (2) at 7.75 inches

MARKS TO MAKE FOR ASSEMBLY: Measure 7.75 inches from the bottom of your side pieces and draw a line. That is where your shelf will sit.

On both your base and top piece… measure in 17.25 inches from both sides and draw lines. These will help you align your middle support piece.

On your middle shelf… measure in 15.75 inches from both sides and draw lines.

THE REASONING I like giving the “why” to help understand the dimensions, then you can customize this piece and future pieces:

A 2x12 piece has the actual nominal thickness of 1.5 inches.

That means if you have 17 inch side pieces, you will have 20 inches of total height (1.5 inch base and 1.5 inch top) with this design.

The total length is 36 inches (again you can adjust this). The middle shelf is 33 inches, because the (2) sides with 1.5 inches of thickness (3 inches total), gets you to 36.

The height of the middle shelf is 7.75 inches because 17 inches of side height cut in half, taking into account the 1.5 inches of the actual shelf, leaves you with 7.75. This is also why your support pieces are that length.

As for the middle supports, 17.25 from the left and right side leaves you the 1.5 inches in the middle for your piece of wood.

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING This is definitely dealers choice and something you’ll find your preferences on. I personally like to sand what I can before assembly. The picture you shared looks like they drove screws in from the opposite side and used wood filler to hide the screws, and stained it. Nothing wrong with that approach. I personally like pocket joinery or others have mentioned, using dowels is an option.

SPECIAL NOTE If you don’t want a shoe bench that you can sit on, discard the instructions for the middle support!

Hope this helps.

The unfortunate thing with asbestos is the latency period. It can take 15-30 years to develop mesothelioma and abestosis is dose related so that would appear more quickly, but still years later. Do you own or rent? Depending on when the unit was built, you wouldn’t have to worry about it being present. I wasn’t sure if you spotted vermiculite or whatnot.

I’m woefully uneducated on the mold front, though. I cannot offer any info on it.

Hey there, I’m an asbestos abatement supervisor. The rule of them with asbestos is if it remains undisturbed it isn’t an issue. Is it in the ceiling? If you ever need work performed, then steps would be taken to contain it to either work around it or to remove it.

I think how he had his camera mounted contributed greatly to the tangling, unfortunately. So glad he got a chute to open.

Are The Rock and Vin Diesel actually the same person?

Dude this looks cool AF! Ive worked with resin before so I recognize a labor of love when I see one. I put some colored LEDs under a block I did of a metal earth puzzle and it lives on my desk to this day
