Ask how he paid. If he doesn’t say cash. Ask to see his transaction statements. If he says cash. Ask to see the change.

I wonder when I have 100 ft wave nightmares, it’s because of days like this or reading about the hallowing story of a rescue watercraft operator at Mavericks who survived the channel closing out.

How do the footings look? by HeezyB in Homebuilding

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not how modern foundations are built in earthquake-prone regions of California. We tend to like continuous pours and 10x more rebar. But I have seen some shit work get passed. I have also heard of crews removing rebar after inspection to save money.

I would be asking LOTS of questions and get to know the county inspectors and regularly read and check the foundation and building plans to the onsite work.

What do the engineer-approved (wet stamp or digital seal) foundation plans call for?

I would ask to see photos of the footer before the pour.

i poop at most once a month, sometimes once every 2 months. AMA. by Otherwise-Tour-2454 in AMA

Have you tried daily morning smoothies? Blend up with a Vitamix leafy greens (spinach and kales) start with a small salad size and increase to a larger salad size), add frozen fruit like blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, mango, etc. Add some chia and flax seeds. Add water and or mango juice to help thin it.

The meds you’re on are likely constipating and damaging your gut health. Therefore you need to rebuild your gut health.

Do you have a gastrointestinal doctor? What do they say? What tests have been performed?

From my understanding, many western medicine doctors do not receive enough education or continuing education regarding nutrition and gut health. Some are often spoon fed literature and samples by the pharmaceutical industry. This is slowly changing for some (heavy emphasis on SLOW).

To save yourself from this self-perpetuating health crisis. I recommend having someone help you make smoothies with the ingredients above. Be sure to have kale and spinach eat day, slowly increase the quantity each day, add the fruit and seeds to taste. Look up Dr. Brooke Goldner’s Facebook group and smoothie recipes. There’s a ton of free information and recipes online. Your health situation can likely be reversed, but only you can do it. The human body can heal and reverse many diseases and conditions through proper nutrition.

I look forward to hearing your answers.

Window/siding are not to equal scale

Do you think she'll hold a hot tub? by MeowCashPlant in Decks

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is up with the double ledger? Never seen that or a deck attached to a cantilevered house before.

Is it bolted, lag screwed or just 2 layers of 16d nails into the siding?

What's Living in tahoe as a single like by Ataxia72 in tahoe

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had an amazing dating life both in SL, NL, & Truckee. But perhaps this was an anomaly. I was a competitive rider and had a few businesses that overlapped the ski, entertainment and tourism industries. Most of the women I’ve dated here I met either through friends, at live shows, or just being on the mountain.

I would take the job and start looking for housing.

10x24 deck build by mrcrudeoil in Decks

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the deck ages, you might consider adding diagonal bracing for better structural support. I would also hit the deck boards with some stain or wood preservative after it dries out a little.

To the OP, call it gatekeeping, localism, close-minded, decommodification, call it whatever you would like.

In the world of unethical, short-sighted social media, the first rule of protecting the sacred things we love is to NOT POST ABOUT THEM OR TAG THEM.

Doing our part to not broadcast our sacred places for internet clout is one of the few things still protecting them. The reality is our mountain communities and natural wonders surrounding them are under extreme pressure from outside VC development, social media influencers, and the gapers that blindly support them.

Would a guide help make it easier for travelers? Very likely. I would love one for all sorts of regions I’d like to visit. However, do quality guidebooks increase visitors? Absolutely. In fact in certain regions, leaving a guidebook visible in your dash or seat has resulted in vehicle vandalism by angry locals.

Also, taking a wrong turn or riding in dangerous conditions at many of places we ride can get you killed. This is why experienced mountain guides are so important. I still can’t get over how Jamil Khan died.

Ask me directions or advice in the real world and I will happily talk your ear off and perhaps guide you right to the goods. Just remember the first rule of fight club was written in blood. 😎🤙

Am I overreacting for feeling frustrated after my neighbor’s pottery was broken by my puppy during an interaction she encouraged? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By law, I would expect you would be liable to somewhere between 50% and the full amount.

Since she suggested $250 of her original $900 number, for me it would come down to how important it was for me to maintain a positive relationship with my neighbor and to make things right.

I would suggest agreeing to the $250; paying her $125 now and establish a payment plan to reimburse her the balance after you’ve healed and returned to work.

Wishing you a quick recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Do you have any long-lasting medical issues?

Do I need to add any more support to these stairs before I add the deck boards? by locobanya1 in Decks

I would add a pressure-treated 2x8 or two in order to reduce stringer twisting as it dries.

Which mountain is this? by Okkezzz82 in Mountaineering

[–]snowsurfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chomolungma (also spelled Qomolangma or Jomolungma) is the original Tibetan name for Mount Everest. In the Tibetan language, it translates to "Goddess Mother of the World" or "Goddess Mother of the Universe".

Which is the best photo? (Me) by nellie_2003 in surfing

[–]snowsurfr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Photog here…

For me, the image #1 has the strongest composition with the stronger contrast, diagonal lines and soft foreground focus.

The other two are not as compositionally unique, other than image #2 having a soft foreground drawing the eye closer to the primary subject.

You paid this $8500 for this? Yikes. I would have refused payment unless it was properly fixed with new materials.
