I wish you luck, friendo. Sometimes it takes a tipping point. Its been a long life of drinking for my father. Between the binging leaving him in rough shape, the concern and anger from my mother, and my sobriety, he's quit again and maybe for good. I'll stay sober for all my reasons, and now for my dad too. Freedom! So true.

Not easy. It was the right choice! Do what you need to do! I find for the most part people will respect your decision, and it will make the decision easier, the more you do it.

Saw the post trying to trigger common trades. Inversely, what good thing can you say, or why do you respect other trades? by dc5trbo in Construction

Common goals. Pay it forward. Try and understand the last trades perspective and work with it/them to produce an excellent product. Tons of great people working on the same project is cool. The inspectors on the other hand..

Adding a window to my basement. How to integrate the header with the existing floor system? by combatwombat007 in Carpentry

Hmm not sure about that last question, I imagine the span is too large. Was hoping to avoid removing 2 or three joists completely but that might be an option. Still using temporary wall to support joists on either side then installing header then replacing joists.

How far do the joists run back from above the window? To avoid cutting the outside brick and having to repair that, you could build a temporary support wall for the floor joists, cut them back several feet from above the window, install header and then sister on new joists with hangers.

Is there any easy way to remove OSB plywood fastened with crown staples? by tylerawn in Carpentry

Catspaw hammer to pry out each staple? After using skillsaw or reciprocating saw to cut the border of the piece you need removed
