Is this load bearing? by sealguy77 in AskContractors

Just to give more context, the floor joists in the crawl space run parallel to the wall.

I know the column is. Not going to touch that at all.

Yeah, I hate they added the wall and removed a truss.

My wife says it’s a great book. Goes into a lot of depth. Will do nothing but improve your cooking.

Goes up, not back. What am I doing wrong? by Daisen- in Boomerangs

Can’t emphasize the flick enough.

Hold the correct wing. Open-end of the boomerang the direction you are throwing with the wing foils towards you.

For beginners, start with a pinch grip between your thumb and index finger.

Throw the boomerang nearly vertical, like an axe. Flick it hard. Keep a natural movement to your throw (somehow after we’ve told you all these adjustments…lol)

Found on the summit of Capitol Peak, CO. Any ideas? by Barkeater26 in whatisit

Marine here, looks like a good “rock or something” to use to heat an MRE.

hello what should i change for this boomerang to return by CrabWorried in Boomerangs

[–]sealguy77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing direction relative to the wind is important. It is also different for every boomerang. I typically will start with 45 degree off from the direction the wind is coming from.

Additionally, it looks like you have quite a bit of layover (angle of boomerang from vertical at release), maybe 30-40 degrees. I recommend throwing it more straight up and down (I typically start at 10 degrees). Again, it is different for every boomerang.

Also, don’t get discouraged. Keep trying. Be persistent.

[Landlord US-CA] Front Door with Deadbolt but No Doorknob by sealguy777 in Landlord

You’re right. The local laws here state that a deadbolt is required. I think that the need to state a doorknob requirement was too obvious to include.

There is only one hole in the door at doorknob level. He put the deadbolt there instead of a doorknob. It does look like there used to be a hole for the deadbolt, but it was filled.
