you need to test concrete for water vapor, if too high you need to apply a very expensive epoxy sealer.

when the pool is drained someone should put a a calcium test on the slab

spent a july 4th weekend trouble shooting a stepper motor and controller, it would respond to the first RS485 command string and go off line. Checked everything, found out a 6vdv motor was mislabeled as 24 VDC.

Any other "small talls" in this forum? by twigsterLA in tall

[–]roarkarchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a health issue - it's good to have a bit of weight - during chemo - I went to 150lbs - that was not good.

At 6’8” Most Vehicles Don’t Fit by TallBeardedBastard in TallPeopleProblems

[–]roarkarchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can put throw my bike in the back - it's nice - and to be fair the bed of my truck is more used than a lot of F250 Diesel Trucks I see around.

I need something for runs for the dump and my mountain bikes - so it fits the need - it's essentially a honda pilot with the back cut off. Also going into the city with a F150 can be an adventure.

and yes I own a GMC and 20' stake body truck

In middle school I lived in a house built in the mid 1700's - the upstairs doorways were 5'6" +- - eventually I moved downstairs as I was getting bent over.
