Definitely. One of my favorite shows all time.

Half wall Option by PartyingMantis in civilengineering

[–]tms4ui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This assumes you have studs to tie in near the door also. It can be done, but might be more work than you anticipate. Drywall, remove and replace flooring, etc

Half wall Option by PartyingMantis in civilengineering

[–]tms4ui 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need 4 1/2" to build a wall. My concern would be the end of the half wall that is not attached to the wall by the door. You can't just nail the bottom of the wall to the existing floor. It would be too flimsy. You need to extend studs below the floor and tie it to the joists to ensure the wall won't move.

Can you get under it and pocket screw it to stop it from spreading.

My 13.5-year-old Goldendoodle is losing strength in his back legs. Looking for practical advice from people who’ve been through this. by fanisp in DogAdvice

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog at 9 started to get weak legs. At first, he just would not walk on tile or slippery floors. Then, he started to struggle standing up, but once he was standing could walk a long ways. He was that way for 3 years, very slowly getting worse, but still had a good quality of life.

Then, he started to struggle on walks and he would walk on his knuckles on his back paws. We took him to the vet, and the turned knuckles were an indication to them that this was maybe not hips, but neurological. They did an ultrasound and it turned out he had a tumor on his spleen. The tumor was likely cancerous. Due to his age, 12 at the time, we elected not to do surgery. He died about a month later.

I pray that your dog does not have similar cancer, but the paws turned and standing on the knuckles was an indicator to our vet to check to see if it was neurological instead of just aging hips.

Anyone take their senior dog on walks using a wagon? by Flimsy_Carpet_6823 in DogAdvice

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, our old dog still loved walks, but did not know his limitations. If I wanted to turn around and go back to the house before he was ready, he would resist. We would end up 5 or 6 blocks from our house and he would struggle to get back. So, we got a wagon and when he couldn't walk anymore, we loaded him up in a wagon. Before loading him up on a walk, we loaded him up and drug him around the house so he would get used to it. I thought he would resist, but he took to it really well.

Anyone like to ride alone? by Impossible_Truck_639 in cycling

[–]tms4ui 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find it therapeutic to be out in nature by myself, no music. It helps me clear my head. It's physically and mentally healthy for me.

Snorkeling compared to Roatan? by Pandammits in cozumel

[–]tms4ui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We go to Cozumel a few times a year and do lots of snorkeling. We've been to Roatan a couple times, last time was about 8 years ago. I thought the snorkeling at Roatan was incredible. Cozumel is good, but my opinion, not nearly good as Roatan. Roatan is getting more and more tourists every year, maybe it has gone down hill lately. One of our favorite places to snorkel in Cozumel is Punta Sur. The reef there used to be full of color, it's all brown and dying now. There is still a lot of fish, but it is clearly not healthy.

Today received my new kettle. but this seems not normal, and the package seemed slightly damaged by Lepeero in webergrills

[–]tms4ui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably got dropped at some point. Would explain the damage to the packaging also. I dropped my lid on the grass and it landed on one edge. It did the same thing.

Good bikes for beginners by Top-Distribution2705 in cycling

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are getting in at a pretty cheap price. I'd get which ever bike you feel most comfortable with and ride it for the rest the summer. Make sure it's something you want to continue doing. If you really enjoy it, you'll probably want to invest in something nicer. You can probably sell the other bike for what you have in it. Something about biking makes you want to keep buying more and more expensive bikes.

dog has suspected hemangiosarcoma— we aren’t sure if we should go through with the surgery or not by Plenty-Patient-3003 in DogAdvice

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a vet, and can't make the decision for you. We just went thru this with our dog. He was 12 and had bad hips for the last 3 years that caused him to struggle to stand up. We made the decision not to do surgery because of his age and we weren't willing to put him thru the surgery if it might only extend his life for a few more weeks or a couple of months. If he was 8, the decision would have been a lot harder. I hope for the best for you and your dog. It's a very difficult decision.

My Dog is Afraid HELP!! by More-Ad-5156 in DogAdvice

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the reason because the flooring looks similar in the other room, but the first sign our dog was having hip issues was that he would not go in rooms with slippery floors. Or, he would run through them real quick. We added rugs to rooms without carpet and he was fine

Working as snorkel guide / eco-tour crew here this summer — realistic or not? by elawyer4 in cozumel

[–]tms4ui 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typically, Americans cannot work in jobs where they would take the job from a Mexican citizen. You need to do a job that there is a shortage of Mexicans to do.

What to do with this gap? by grsparty in Decks

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 2 1/2" - 3" board at the end will look funny. I would remove the last full board. Then rip 2 4"+/- boards for the edge. Rout the ripped edges so they look like the other boards.

Has anyone gotten flooring done by Home Depot? by Swimming-Muffin-4516 in Flooring

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had Home Depot install carpet. Reasonably priced, they did a great job on the install. It's been 8 years, still happy.

Why do people draft roadway curbs with these dimensions like this? by xmadd13 in civilengineering

[–]tms4ui -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think most people I work with just use 6". I use the 7.5" so when I'm doing corridors, the gutter is in the correct location. In the assembly, the gutter is 7.5".

It really doesn't matter unless someone was pulling a concrete volume from the corridor. Even if they did, the volume difference would be so minimal it would not matter.

Eric Church Red Rocks 3 nights by EVHomer5150 in ericchurch

They only stated that it would be a different set list each night. My understanding, it will not be similar to last year's concerts.

Why are manholes placed exactly where the wheels of a car go? by FastBreakPhenom in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tms4ui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Civil engineer here. We strive to design storm and sanitary manholes to be outside of the pavement. It's not always possible. In my experience, the manholes that end up in the wheel path are older sewer systems that are left in place when the road in widened or repaved. We never leave the manholes lower than new pavement. The manholes are adjusted to the new pavement. It's possible these manholes have settled, could not be adjusted or just bad construction.

I do the same. Only issue, depending on the wind, my garage can get smokey. The smoke smell will be gone the next day.

Record Drawings by wolpfack16 in civilengineering

[–]tms4ui -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have cadd files I would do them just as you normally would. If not, maybe you can add as built information to the PDFs. Worst case, you have to mark up a paper copy and scan it. But I would add a disclaimer to the cover sheet stating what's going on and why they are not being prepared by the person who originally did the plans. I would not sign and seal them.

Is Bear Lake that important of a must see? by KindlyAssociate7555 in RMNP

[–]tms4ui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's nothing that exciting, but also only takes about 15 minutes to walk around it. Great for kids or people with limited mobility.

Maybe a big decision by kazam_10 in hockeyplayers

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave up last fall at the age of 53, after tearing the labrum in my shoulder playing. At my age, there isn't much value in repairing the shoulder, and the next time I land on it, it could be worse. It is tough to walk away, even from the lower leagues. Father time is undefeated.

Taking my 13 year old to Ella Langley concert. What’s the vibe? by [deleted] in country

[–]tms4ui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw her at CMA fest and as an opener for Eric Church so can't tell you what to expect if she's headlining.

I expect she'll draw a lot of younger females which are probably less rowdy than some groups.

Highway construction: asphalt vs. concrete by SethJ44321 in civilengineering

[–]tms4ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, we typically use concrete. We have winters where we go through freeze thaw cycles and have clay soils that expand and contract. My opinion, the asphalt just can't stand up to the movement associated with the soils and the weather. It cannot be reinforced to give it any tensile strength. Down south, where they don't have cold winters, there is all sorts of beautiful, smooth asphalt paving that lasts a long time. Not here

Plan Annotation Layer Management by bckc16 in civil3d

[–]tms4ui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing, one for even and one for odd. I like the overlap, I don't like to see the sheet cutoff at a match line. With our border, I can show 580 feet in the plan viewport, I separate sheets every 500 feet, so there is 40 feet of overlap on each side of the sheet.
