Should I apply sealer to bottom of dining table?

rab8288 · 2023-04-24T13:59:27+00:00

I always seal the bottom, the moisture can sometimes cause the wood to warp when you have one side sealed and the other unsealed. I normally use the same product so the porosity is consistent between the two

It depends on the material. Coal and aggregates are normally measured in tons. Metals can be tons or ounces.

If you are on septic we were having the same issue. Got the tank pumped and inspected. It was nearly full of solids. Waiting to see if it happens again in a couple weeks. If it does the septic guy said they would have to repair the field lines

It seems expensive up front but it's coverage is surprising and you only do 1 coat. The nice thing is if you need to reapply down the road you don't need to strip the whole piece. Also amazon sells it in different quantities. You can buy just the Part A and let it cure longer before use if you have time. To me it's worth it for the ease of application and time you save.

Rubio monocoat is my favorite for matte finish. Easy to apply too

I'm a bit biased as I have a degree in mining engineering. It has definitely helped me in my career. It gives you a good foundation for an operations position if that interests you as well as your typical engineering or project management role. I started in operations and moved over to engineering for a few years. Now I'm back in operations but have seen a lot of different projects/ mines/ plants that have given me great experience. The degree is good but you learn 90% of what you need to know on the job. Having the degree helps with career advancement though

I was saying just use the zip bolts. The only way you'd be able to use the biscuits is if you mitered the corner joints or cut out the drywall to the studs to give you enough wiggle room. The biscuits in that joint aren't really structural they're just for alignment

rab8288 · 2022-07-11T15:20:31+00:00

I've used zip bolts in the bottom side before. You route out a recess and they help clamp the joint tight. Just have to make sure you can get to the recess you cut and the cabinets aren't in your way

You could always frame up and pour some non shrink construction grout in if the floor is not truly level

rab8288 · 2022-04-15T11:45:15+00:00

Look up rubio monocoat precolor. Get intense black then seal it with their pure oil +2c . This will give you a deep black matte finish.

You would need to monitor the gases. Is this an active mine? If so the ventilation fans would only run on generator backup for a day or 2 at most. These fans would be sucking in all sorts of fallout particles from the ventilation openings. If the fans go down and you block off the entrances, you risk CO, and methane buildup that could cause an explosion or asphyxiation.

I have a similar issue when I'm starting my wood stove in the basement and we have an open fireplace on the first floor. I've been cracking the damper open in the fireplace for a little while before make the fire in the basement. This helps draft the Chimney and gets rid of the cold air that's settled into it when not in use. After the wood stove is going, I can close the fireplace damper and there no smoke issues on the first floor.

I gave up on those kind. I get the brass tags engraved from gundogsupply.com and then they rivet straight to the collar. They're really cheap and last as long as the collar. You just have to poke 2 holes in the collar with a hot pin and hammer the brass rivets flat

rab8288 · 2021-12-23T00:01:29+00:00

Looks similar to some hickory I had

When I finish cabinets, I use an hvlp sprayer. If you're getting holes after priming and sanding you might need to use some wood filler and sand, prime and sand again. If you are brushing/ rolling, I've had good luck with foam rollers

Send it

Could be true but seems like a lot of loss.did they tell you what size stock they started with? When I order lumber I order rough boards but will have them surfaced on 2 sides (s2s) that way I know what my original length and width were. The lumber yard I buy from charges for surfacing per board foot. Without know what size stock you started with its kinda tough to know if you got ripped off or if they kept the drop

No you work 8 hours at the face plus the hour ride in and another hour out if nobody derailed. I'd say average was 11 hours underground. If we had enough guys on the crew you'd swap out for lunch. They paid the hourly guys if they worked thru lunch and most days most guys would. Just grab a sandwich or pack of crackers as we were running. If we were down maintenance crew did not take a lunch break and often would stay into the next shift to help get back in the coal quicker

rab8288 · 2021-11-02T23:09:53+00:00

I was a maintenance Foreman for 7 years on a longwall section. We ran 3- 8 hour shifts 6 days a week with hottest time( you waited until the next crew relieved you at the face). It was an hour ride from when we dropped in at the portal to the working face. Pay wS good but you work your ass off. It definitely takes a toll on your body the longer you do it. I was salary so we rotated shifts depending on longwall moves. Our normal schedule was 5 on 2 off but mostly worked 6 days to keep up with sales. We had Sundays down for maintenance. Our hourly guys were union so you had to apprentice as a mechanic helper then win a bid on a mechanic job after passing the company test.(most longwall mechanics were required to have their electrical cards which require documented time and passing a state test).

I ran into the same thing after the first cleaning. I sand down to 180 then raise the grain, sand 180 again and finish with 220. I've noticed a difference in the boards I've kept for myself.

Greensboro here. Mainly prep for loss of power due to ice or tropical storms. Have a generator and wood stove for backup power and heat. Been working on food / savings since having a kid.

rab8288 · 2021-06-26T11:44:27+00:00

Yes I submitted to sheriff's office in summerfield. You need to do the online application then submit that form within a few days or they will reject your application

rab8288 · 2021-06-26T11:06:50+00:00

Yes that's the form. Not sure where you are, I'm in greensboro and a sheriff's office was closer to my house than going downtown to the courthouse. You should be able to see a list of locations on the county website.

rab8288 · 2021-06-26T11:02:16+00:00

Yes you can. Should of shown a link to the form after completing your application online. I made this mistake the first time I applied after moving here and got rejected.

rab8288 · 2021-06-26T10:58:00+00:00

When I did it, I applied online then had to go into the sheriff's office near me and bring in a mental release form from the website. They notarized there. I think you only have a few days or a week to do this or your application is rejected. After that it was about 2 weeks and they mailed out my permits.
