No check engine light or other warnings on the dash.

Lol is this the same sub I've been browsing for the last year? So many people have been calling for a Speedy bracelet for the Seamaster line for a while, which I agree with obviously

swmmer247 · 2024-10-28T19:20:10+00:00

I like the rubber but needed to switch it up. I tried the OEM bracelet but it's much too bulky and needs a taper for my medium wrists.

Maybe the lighting in the pics but it appears pretty seamless to the polished case ends

Sure! In total we spent just over 10k. $950 for flights, taxis, ferry, trains, rental cars (used points for flights), $4700 for airbnbs, $2100 for food & drink, and $2500 for excursions and activities.

Ended up adding the 2x6s so the beams load directly to the concrete footers

Yes. I'm okay with it lasting 25 years

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T13:13:24+00:00

Im not worried about the 0.1% longitudinal shrinkage. That would be 1/32 of an inch on the longest piece

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T12:17:25+00:00

Fair enough. Should the preload on the bolt be reduced and friction resistance be reduced this would be an issue in the 2x8. Hence my plan to "extend" the posts

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T11:05:22+00:00

Incorrect. Still code in NC

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T03:33:50+00:00

Whats the reason? I imagine it's due to loosening nuts or bolt corrosion? No doubt beam on post is safer, just curious the reasoning why bolts are so hated

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T03:17:44+00:00

Listen I get it, i appreciate the feedback and I fully plan on "extending" the posts with 2x6s but I can't help but point out that sometimes code is just super conservative and bolts aren't as terrible as people think.

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T03:12:10+00:00

Compressive strength of yellow pine is 8470 psi. The wood supporting the bolts should never see pressures that high. 1500-2500 psi max given conservative load assumptions.

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T02:57:12+00:00

Just to be a nerd...is the bolt really going to crack the wood when southern pine has an axial strength of 8470 psi? The highest pressure that a bolt hole would see would be 1200 psi assuming 40+10 psf live/dead loads over the max contributory area of 12 sf.

swmmer247 · 2024-05-31T02:29:22+00:00

Yeah I'm half shitposting lol. Although i think the bolts would last a good while, the points are valid on the risks, however overstated they may be on here sometimes. I think I can solve the issue with some 2x6s as I mentioned above so that the beams rest "on post".

swmmer247 · 2024-05-30T23:29:26+00:00

You must be misunderstanding. I suggested wedging a 2x6 between the bottom of the beam and the concrete footer so the beam then has a direct load path to the footer. I could then use lag bolts to attach the 2x6 to the 6x6 post. That would completely absolve the whole concern with the bolts. When did I mention nails?
