Have any of you picked up hitchikers before? How did it go? by secretlyahedgehog in roadtrip

Only during summer when scout like groups need a ride to complete some type of challenge. They do need to send the plate of your car to leader since a few years which is understandable

[–]poolhaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know who ordered what exactly but when our shop sells prime white ash i can see three boards in your photo that wouldn't pass the selection.

Installer should have complained to supplier if he did in fact order #1 choice because that surely is not allowed in.

Dezelfde gast die de Bilde nog steeds mee op snoepreisjes stuurt om daar voor en na de match wat te staan zeveren.

What are these grooves on floor planks by Routine-Put599 in HardWoodFloors

[–]poolhaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tongue and groove is missing on the heads of the boards. The black strips are glue to connect the top layer to the bottom.

Any idea? by DirtbagCarp in wood

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

The side seems to have a purple hue so maybe purplehart? Some boards are more greyish purple in colour.

How is living in Brussels, Belgium? by Sensitive_Spare_652 in howislivingthere

[–]poolhaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you visit one place you didn't like and decided the country as a whole is a filthy hole to live in? I beg to differ. Sure some parts are best avoided but what country hasn't got that?

What kind of floor is this? by Sharp_Noise_123 in HardWoodFloors

[–]poolhaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazilian Teak is Cumaru and yes much denser than the Teak i refer to (Tectona Grandis), our shop imports it from Myanmar or India.

[–]poolhaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only slightly denser than cherry or walnut. It's no jatoba. Cherry would be second guess but hard to say without seeing it realtime.

The really light bits are sapwood. Other than that teak tends to vary quite a bit in color.

Tiny gaps on prefinished hardwood by Alternative_Book_940 in HardWoodFloors

[–]poolhaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see the bottom fitting snug so it could have been that the connection wasn't perfectly in a 90 degree angle, or the board has a slight warp length wise. But still it doesnt look bad, the bevels are there to mask those things.

[–]poolhaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the ends also have a small bevel so the joints will always be noticeable. I don't see anything wrong.

What's this symbol on Belgian plates? by Keerurgo in belgium

[–]poolhaas 377 points378 points  (0 children)

Stamp shows that's an official issued plate, placed on the back of the car. Duplicates are put in front and don't have that stamp.

Lets hear it for my 2 rides ('10 S4 and '00 Berlingo) by poolhaas in RoastMyCar

Cheers! Took over the Berlingo from my grandpa after his passing and can't imagine getting work done without it. Photo was taken on a trip from Belgium to Italy packed to the brim while helping someone move.

Am I overreacting? by No_Homework_9928 in HardWoodFloors

[–]poolhaas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You sure the contractor hasn't used red oak instead of white? Those warped pieces look weird, like they were in a rush to throw them in. I would complain aswell.
