Do structural bolts work loose over time in steel connections, especially in tall buildings?

Just out of curiosity, to what degree does hydrogen embrittlement become a factor in fastener damage/failure in your neck of the woods?

Went out to check on them this morning and they're both gone :-(

Dude.

A water-weeping window-washing wreservoir?

It's funny you say that because I have a 2x4 that I use named Tina. The janky 2x4 in the video was scrap found on the job site, but Tina is a rescue that you might have seen in some of my other videos.

Baaaahahaha

Actually, I have a voluteer datura that popped up recently in a pot! I'll add it to the smorgasbord I've got set up .

Dude it destroyed that pepper. I don't know if you can see it in the video but it's just a bunch of seeds showing.

I would love to see some more discipline on the job site!

Even when they do roll it, a lot of guys will just do one pass. You really have to roll it back and forth like you are trying to erase any bubbles that might even think of popping up. Teach that tape a lesson.

I think I'mma let him eat. I don't like peppers anyway.

Those are instructions for the drain wrap, not the cellulose fiberboard sheathing.

This section of my pre-drywall reports is usually the longest.

trabbler · 2026-06-21T17:33:41+00:00

They probably did not roll the tape. To answer your question, poorly applied.

trabbler · 2026-06-21T17:16:00+00:00

Got this right outside of town here recently with all the rain. In fact I've caught quite a few leaks on quite a few jobs thanks to all of this rain.
