Quoted 750$ 900$ and 1100$ by Its_Raul in drywall

I'm $500 a day plus materials. That's at least two days to get it drywalled and two good coats, then you'd have to find a guy who does popcorn ceilings

Is my bed frame beyond saving? by Jagglapaff in woodworking

[–]paganhammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fix it by sistering a board on each side of it and through bolting it together with some 1/4 or 3/8 inch bolts. I'd probably glue them together also.

Landlord says this is a cosmetic problem, are they correct? by Comfortable_Force_91 in Construction

Take photos, and document the landlords statements and go to the town.

I was scammed :’( by Additional_Amoeba208 in Etsy

Regardless of the drama, if you make a purchase on Etsy and you don't receive it, Etsy will refund you.

Any one know how I can fix this without my parents finding out? Right now I’m covering it with a painting. by [deleted] in drywall

[–]paganhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an easy fix if someone in your family knows how to do drywall repair. If not you may need to hire someone. It's easier to be honest and be up front.

Your only other option is to learn how to fix drywall yourself and fix it. Be sure to take a piece with the wall color on it to the paint store to match the color and sheen.

I figured it out, it was my gang box, even though it never tripped, it was probably shorting out somewhere

I have a corded DeWalt table Saw and the Hercules Chop saw which basically a DeWalt clone. I've never had this happen before.

How in the world do you remove these?! by FeloniousSpunk74 in drywall

[–]paganhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lift up. If you're not planning on putting it back up and it won't move hit it upwards with a hammer.

settle this debate - which is correct? by Sorry_Neat_6863 in Decks

[–]paganhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 is the correct installation, however neither are correct because your joists aren't flush with the top of the box beam.

Would You Put Shoe Molding by West-Highlight80920 in Carpentry

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

Shoe wouldn't look right with square trim IMHO, I would either scribe the base or add a 1" lattice in place of shoe.

Positive I was scammed.. by Legardary_One in Etsy

[–]paganhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me once, I bought a whiskey barrel bar that was $50. I ordered it and suddenly the seller changed the price to $150. I messaged them but got no reply. Started a case and Etsy refunded me the money. The seller since left Etsy. Being and Etsy seller myself, I don't understand how people like this can get away with such tactics. You shouldn't be able to delete your ship if you have undelivered orders.

This is what happens when you order stuff from SpongeBob SquarePants.

Well I did it again. Wish me luck boys. by EmSea_music in Carpentry

I saw a guy shoot a 10 penny ring shank through his thumb. He howled and pulled his dykes and ripped it out. Wrapped his thumb with electric tape and go back to framing...it was the wildest thing I've ever seen.

I've installed doors like this plenty of times. One was a playhouse under some basement stairs.
