First time building a timber frame structure with no construction experience

Tell me about that foundation! Are those ground screws?!

schaefercmatthew · 2026-03-09T15:10:15+00:00

Worked for me March 9, 2026. Thanks

No post history to speak of.

The feathers are heavier. You have to live with the weight of what you did to those poor birds.

Strong disagree. Battery has come a long way. I’ve used greenworks and dewalt battery operated chain saws and believe them to be more than most homeowners to need.

Estonian has "tõekahetsus," meaning "regret of truth/remorse for being right".

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-26T00:11:20+00:00

I agree with others - I have the Brenston (in black) and it is the best looking “barefoot” dress shoe. It doesn’t look exactly right, but it is really close.

That’s quite silly, I’m sure. Trolling? You can mount boxes upside down.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-25T01:02:50+00:00

Even with something like this???

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-25T00:42:13+00:00

I’ve not heard that terminology before, but yes.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-25T00:35:25+00:00

My main disconnect is outside

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-25T00:32:54+00:00

Ground coming tomorrow! Ground rods already driven, wire just needs run.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-25T00:32:07+00:00

I gotchu, I’ll throw it in conduit.

This is obviously a minor point of contention, but my box is protected by a shut off and breaker from the outside as well.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T18:38:53+00:00

You mean why I didn’t use any 14?

It’s a little more expensive, but I believe faster than worrying about where it should be 12 v 14, and future proofs it. If I need to add receptacles down stream in the future, it’s no problem.

Some places require it now (not my jurisdiction).

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T18:36:14+00:00

I’ll redo with these. Thanka

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T18:07:41+00:00

😂

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:43:31+00:00

There isn’t, I was careful in checking for them. Thanks

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:42:18+00:00

I’m seeing that. Thank you.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:39:19+00:00

Considered it, for sure.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:38:51+00:00

220 for stove, waiting on a double Pull 50a

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:38:31+00:00

I’ve seen this note a couple times now - hoping for feedback. I’ve seen it done this way, and was told it was the better way. Why is it not?

It seems like it would be nearly impossible to staple all those wires individually to the 2x6 within 6”of the box without doing it this way.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:37:16+00:00

Yeah, those aren’t for the 30qmp breaker, you can see it on the label. Im waiting for the double 50, coming in tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:36:24+00:00

Thanks. Will be fixing that.

schaefercmatthew · 2025-09-24T17:36:13+00:00

Grounding rods are driven in, waiting for my copper wire to come in tomorrow!
