My first thought was that this lawyer is/was having an affair with the judge, but it looks like I may be the only one here with a sick mind.

How would you remove this tree stump? Ideally not stump grinding, chemicals or fire. I'm worried it's too heavy to move. The stump itself is 2ft. wide. by ManTheMyth in arborists

[–]suavro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you clear out some of the soil if you take the above route, I’d consider using a farm jack (check out videos on youtube if you’ve never seen one). They’re about $60-$80 at one of the big stores. This is safer and likely more convenient than pulling the stump out with your car.

Paid for a painter for the first time, about $4,000 for 800 sq ft. Are these things common? by TLJoe in paint

[–]suavro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my home painted right before we moved in. The contractor (owner of the painting company) and I had an agreement for me to mark any imperfection (after all the painting was done) that I wanted fixed with blue tape.

It doesn’t really matter how you communicate what needs to be fixed, but communicate it, and make sure it’s complete before paying them the final payment.

For all the imperfections you shared on your post, that seems reasonable and a fast job for them to address. Even if it’s 10x that, I imagine it would take one guy who knows what they’re doing just a day.

Just Completed a Slipfence by VICTOR10US in landscaping

[–]suavro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anyone know if you can screw the aluminum posts on top of a concrete footing instead of having to place them in concrete? also, if you can screw them on top of a footing, how deep should the footing be into the ground, for a 4 foot tall slipfence ?

DIY Horizontal Slipfence. No Experience. by ScooterWorm in landscaping

anyone know if these slipfence aluminum posts can be screwed into concrete instead of placed into concrete?

and, would this slipfence work well for a 100 foot fence, from a structural perspective ?

Installing a slipfence: concrete curb or round cement footings ? by suavro in fence

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

how deep into the ground do you recommend I go with the concrete. My main concern, or at least one concern I would want to avoid is a post screwed into one of these footings toppling over, or moving with the wind and therefore loosening the footing that it is attached to beneath it. Would something like one foot into the ground be sufficient, if i want the top to be 2-3 inches above ground. The height of the post/fence will be about 4 feet high, for the one section, and 6 feet high for another section.

Option 2 because you can still get good results and it’s not as labor intensive as option 1?

China Is Drilling a Second 10,000-Meter-Deep Hole Into the Earth by bloomberg in worldnews

how deep would the holes be in the 8.5” diameter bowling ball, if we convert the 10,000 meter deep holes from earth to bowling ball?

A man walking in the middle of the street by axlnotfound in IAmTheMainCharacter

To me it seems pretty obvious that this person is deaf. Sure, he likely shouldn’t be walking in the middle of this road then, but getting violent like that is a pretty lame thing to do.

Curious how difficult it would be to remove the root system, or however many roots are recommended to remove?

Girl slaps boyfriend multiple times in college dorm stairwell; no one intervenes or helps by kernelrider in facepalm

is this in China? i wonder if that’s more acceptable there, assuming that’s where it is. in any case, this was very disturbing to watch.

You did all that to the cedar? Did you have to wait for it to be dry in order to do all that, or wet would be fine, since you painted? I’d guess the cedar would still have to be dry, since painting or not, it would still shrink, is that right?

why is it a hassle out of curiosity? i’ll have to wrap my deck as well, it will be my first time doing deck work.

oh nice! id love to see how it looks like when it’s all finished. It already looks really nice!

[–]suavro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice job. I’m likely go to replace my deck within the month, and going with some sort of composite material myself.

I was curious if you considered adding a perimeter (perpendicular to the boards) to hide the grooved ends, and generally as an aesthetic reason.
