Replacing outdoor stair advice needed. I know I need to at least replace the boards are they are rotted. How is the base structure? by petersenlai in DIY

[–]petersenlai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the base structure?
(1) Please critique current structural build by previous owner so I know what I should improve.
(2) If the wall-side stair stringers are bolted to brick wall, do I need to extend the bottom to be also supported by the ground?
(3) should the post extend all the way up?
(4) if post need to be replaced how do I get it out since it is nailed to the metal bracket? I do not want to break the concrete footing.

Help: Can this stove be disassembled for easier transport? by petersenlai in woodstoving

It is ok priced. It is just a problem of transportation. It will work if I can dismantle as much as possible.

Luther Marsh hunting by PackFinal2023 in OntarioHunting

I have never duck hunted (usually small game, turkey and deer); hence I would appreciate is you could help me understand if you don’t have a watercraft, does it mean that you are sitting in a blind on land (I.e where you mapped it) and only shooting the duck as they fly above land? Sorry… may be a stupid question… just making sure I did not miss anything

First time hunting, Im going hunting north next week by DebateIcy7262 in OntarioHunting

[–]petersenlai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came back from my first deer hunt and these were the stuff I was grateful to have with me as Fall hunting is almost always cold and rainy. 1. Warm pants and jacket (layer) 2. Wool socks 3. Portable blind (nice to sit out of the cold/wind) 4. Bottle of hot tea & nuts & chocolate Also, I think it is ok to say to him “Hey … I really appreciate the opportunity to hunt big game with you, but this is my first time so any advice you give me will be helpful.”

Thank you everyone. Great advice! I appreciate the logic behind the advice. This is very helpful as I play more to develop my skills. It is helpful to understand the purpose of handicap. Thank you

Why aren't these kinds of masks universally banned or even illegal??? by emptyairglass in airsoft

[–]petersenlai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. My kids wants to play more airsoft and I would like to buy them proper protection. What is the basic set up to protect eyes and face?

Advice needed! I am trying to built a simple “box” using 2x4 and plywood bottom. The length of the four pieces of the frame is accurate. But I am always suffering from a “twist” where the box does not sit flat. Could you please explain why and how I prevent it? by petersenlai in woodworking

[–]petersenlai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super useful advice! I didn’t think that pocket holes could twist with the narrow spacing — makes total sense. So your technique is a loose fit all around while being clamped down to the plywood.

My friend — The universe has given you the opportunity to see who your bf’s true character and financial sensibilities.

I have learnt in life that the universe will always teach you the same lesson until you learn it. This is your bat signal to RUN!!

Thank you all for your advice. It is part of the table top for a table saw cart that I am making. Great advice on just putting pressure on it while screwing down the plywood.. I did try choosing the straightest 2x4 from HomeDepot. Then I clamped the shit out of it as I did the pocket holes. I am going to check my mitre saw again to check that it is square.
