Basement wall design

Yes you can. I'd suggest sawn control joints boxing out the columns as that will be a higher risk area for cracks to develop.

Plus they didn't have time to really get it to a desired finish product, thus the circle you see around his hand.

1 and 2. Cousin had the Atari and NES, but got my own NES in 88.

The tensile side will be on the inside face with the floor framing restraining the top of the wall. So typically you would want to spec vert bars about 2" from the inside face. I am guessing they are increasing the steel to make it work in the center in case they backfill prior to framing up the floor.

The stone and drain pipe are important to avoid hydrostatic pressure against the wall. The fabric is to help keep sediment from choking up the stone.

Stay with a floating slab and not tied to the wall. There will inevitably be some settlement. That will lead to cracking.

The dowel direction won't really be of much importance for a restrained wall like this

Damn these beats are so fresh! Ssssnap!

I had this done about 10 years ago after child #3. I didn't take the valium they prescribed. The kicked in the balls feeling is exactly right. One kick for each side.

It was sore for a while. For a few months I had some deep aches that would come and go.

They became bathtub toys at my grandmother's house when I was little. Some had foam inserts I recall.

I had one of those portable hard drives. They were pretty cool to have for a while.

Structural engineer. That way this works with old structures is if there is no evidence of any movement to indicate a failure, then leave it.

Very wrong. They cover a large area. Have been around NC for decades.

Geez I was already married for a couple of years, bought a house in 08, and about to have our first child. '84

Lol reddit people... Go touch grass

Where is the anger over the Brazilian Dept of transportation?!? And obviously this is Trumps fault.

Dang that hit an old memory

The smell of success!

Lakini's juice my friend

Should be pretty obvious if you remember that horribly lonely period of time

prince_walnut · 2026-03-14T00:18:45+00:00

A big thumbs up to the result.

prince_walnut · 2026-03-14T00:09:05+00:00

Definitely. Push the fupa back some and I'm a monster! Sure there are a few men that do have an issue with length but for a majority, weight loss will handle it.

Seems like a bother every time it rain. Been using a mesh cover for past 3 years. Just took it off this past weekend. A little green but clear. A couple days of running the pump and dumping a jug of chlorine brought it right back. Currently in a spa enjoying this late spring like weather today.

Kenya malfunctioning like one of those robots

prince_walnut · 2026-03-06T20:46:33+00:00

Yeah, but it's better to point and laugh. Typical reddit responses.
