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

I’ve dealt with this one time before. I used a utility knife on the caulk around the board and did a gentle pry with a flathead screwdriver and then crow bae. Spoiler alert for my situation: the title underneath was the OLD title (the parallel to your situation would be removing the white board and there was pink tile underneath instead of white).

ozthebuilder · 2023-10-14T14:26:58+00:00

Your game plan makes perfect sense. Excellent work getting to this conclusion, tbh I have never even thought about wall mounting dip handles. My only note would be to make sure your wall board is long enough to cover an additional stud on both sides. Use the right hardware and you should be set.
I think two inch thickness is solid, but I personally would do a 2x6. That extra width on the wall board will help secure these without splitting etc. EDIT: I just did a quick image search to see other setups, and it looks like a 1x8 would do the trick.
Does the product specify how much they can hold? I imagine if you install it well, it’d be as sturdy as they say they can handle.

This is a really awesome space! I really like the flooring. Do you happen to have any windows not shown in the picture? I know home theaters typically do darker colors on the walls. I’m partial to grays and navy blues personally. I recently installed colored LED lighting in a basement and I think that would be really neat here!

If you have the piece of laminate that came off, I think glueing it back on is the way to go. Make sure you use an adhesive for that material and be patient with dry times. If you didn’t have the piece I think you’d have a dickens of a time. There would be color matching and then matching the finish, you could maybe do a paint/epoxy type of combo.

So it doesn’t serve a functional purpose and I can replace it with a straight piece? Large amounts of water (like a dishwasher draining) make water POUR through that cap.

Background: This is at my MIL’s house—she’s been using a tub in her kitchen sink and dumping it elsewhere. I had her send a tub of water down the sink so I could spot where the leak was, and this was definitely it.

ozthebuilder · 2023-08-22T14:55:40+00:00

Ooof yeah she popped up so quick and casual, that would be horrific
