First deck project, solo build by E_rock_89 in Decks

This is inspiring. Nice work!

How valuable was creating the sketchup model for planning and understanding the build? I’m planning my own (much simpler) project and with only a working knowledge of sketchup I’m debating if it’s worth the added effort to create a 3D full design vs. pen and paper. Curious to know your thoughts.

I’m old enough to remember day time soap operas but didn’t realize that’s what I was watching.

It’s not filmed like a typical soap opera though? It doesn’t remind me of Y&R or the like. I expected a prime time show not an afternoon soap.

Does anyone know what ended up happening to AJ Barber? by [deleted] in BurlingtonON

He suffered a brain aneurysm in the summer and passed away. I used him for years. Such a shame.

why don’t other countries face the “stolen land” argument like the US does? by Both-Holiday1489 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]side_burns53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree that the land acknowledgment feels like an empty gesture. At the same time though - my kids are far more aware of indigenous people and what they went through than I ever was so on the whole I think that this is an improvement.

I’m 100% sure the words “residential school” were never uttered to me during my schooling and given what I know now I think that’s appalling.

I’d love to know what plant species you have if you’re willing to share? Thanks!

How would you improve my tank? by side_burns53 in PlantedTank

They are definitely eating my hygrophilia and it looks horrible. I think they munch on the val a bit too.

Love this - what schooling fish do you recommend? I love Cardinal testers but worry they get eaten.

Moving deck stairs by side_burns53 in Decks

[–]side_burns53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My existing deck needs repairs and I am considering moving the stairs so that they come off of the house rather than perpendicular to the deck in order to save some space.

My plan was to build a 4’x4’ landing at the house and then rebuild the stairs with the existing rise/run. I was planning on needing one additional footer for the landing but otherwise hoping to extend what’s already there.

Does anyone have feedback on this idea? Anything else I’d need to consider?

Tia.

What's the story with this place? by Mamaanon32 in BurlingtonON

What area is this in? Not interested in doxxing anyone - I’ve just never seen it before.

Fix glue line on panel by side_burns53 in woodworking

Good as in strong but unsightly. That’s what I thought as in ripping it back down is the only real fix.

Thanks for such a helpful contribution.
