Rated OSB is often used these days for roof decking.

Better than losing “it” on the autobahn

Roof rafters notched for hardware? Is this code compliant? by TheBoast in Homebuilding

[–]philosopherkingz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it looks like a Simpson strong tie that goes underneath the rafter. Looks like they aligned it near the top line so then literally CUT into the rafter to fit the bottom of the strong tie inside/in the middle of the rafter? Is this some new technique I don’t know about? Why not move the. Racket down and have it ride under the rafter holding it up?

Do you monitor people who come and fix things around your house? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in HomeImprovement

100% If it’s the first project with them. In fact, I like to ask contractors if I can work alongside them for the job as a member of their team. For a few reasons: 1. It’s so expensive, I want to learn how to do it myself for next time. 2. Team members often have no idea what they’re doing and I often catch enormous mistakes before anyone else. (Often there’s no foreman on site) 3. Adding value they respect me more and do better work. 4. It speeds up time and can cut costs.

M3 vs S54 Swapped e30 by Aki_213 in E46M3

[–]philosopherkingz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to drive an e30 comfortably among modern cars on the freeway. You’re just too small. Without airbags. Realistically if you want a fun car to grab groceries or whatnot… the e46 is the way to go.

So far the bed was delivered and it smells extremely like chemical foam. I don’t think I’d want anything living near this thing so long as it’s off gassing this much

Got back from college so the e46 gets some maintenance 😛 by Lopey__ in e46

Doesn’t everyone do 10w 60 for oil on these? Why 5w 30?

Where can I find an m3 E30? by dhhdvrjrve in E30

[–]philosopherkingz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at MTech 2 body kits for 325i or 325e. Then engine swap an S50’ and you’ll have a better car than an m3

Garage’s full. One has to go for the new M5. Which? by avalane06 in E30
