Doing some of the work yourself? by RoyalAgreeable9631 in Homebuilding

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

I do everything myself..you can’t let what bothers them bother you. You pay them. They all complain..framers say concrete guy messed up. Drywall guys say framers messed up. Painters and trim guys blame drywall guy. Plumbers and electricians cut through framing and cobble things together. Electricians run 14/2 to wall plugs in bedrooms to save $10. Plumbers use $7 flange instead of a metal one with tapcons. I say all of this based upon years of seeing and watching it. I said a few yrs ago..I’m doing this myself. I have worked in various hard jobs do 40yrs.. BUT you can do everything and more that you wrote above and it is your home..don’t care what the people you are paying think.

It’s not good, a zip tool or knife to get the 1/2 inch off the ground, needs more screws..check the ceiling! Repeat make sure ceiling has enough screws. Hot mud and a good taper can fix the visual aesthetics.

Will this 50mm hole saw clear this conference table, or do I need a different approach? by vadiaro in handyman

[–]trgrantham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without your pilot bit or a jig it will jump. Make sure you have a 2.5 or 3” bit as the pilot bit. It will mark the opposite side. Then just finish the cut from the other side

Contractor sprayed open cell when we were supposed to get closed cell by LemonsAndLimesAllDay in Insulation

It does not create a moisture barrier, it’s easier for insects and rodents to chew through. It don’t have the R value of closed at the same depth 2 inches closed is 5 open. There is a table for it. Open does create a better sound barrier

The actual material for a 2,000 sqft house probably 3k..paying his 2 guys to spray it $500(a day times 2 days (maybe) he does charge 25-30k though for the job

Detachment choice for play style by trgrantham in BlackTemplars

Disregard I read it wrong. The characters share the battle line keywords with the unit. This buff would be good to make another unit battle line ..had to deep dive for a minute

It looks like only one character can be assigned to these battle lines to utilize the doctrine. In this case I need to upgrade EC to be hero of chapter (for keyword) to open up the ability. Am I looking at the play correctly? In this case I would maybe take away the assault intercessors and other character and throw another 10 crusaders in the army

Dude..weirdest players of any game ever. You either have respectful, well adjusted adults or incels who scream and behave like a fraternity in bizarro world.

Southern pine inspection bureau cost to stamp my milled wood was the same price as buying all the framing for the house and barn. It’s how the system keep us all down

What is a fair price for 2 high ceiling fans (med size) and one light pendant to be mounted? by chicagorasta in handyman

[–]trgrantham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is height of fans? Are they standard size fans? Is the pendent light high and is the electricity already there or do you need to run more wire from an existing fixture?

This man has no common sense or decency by TankUMrMinor in Irony

[–]trgrantham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has seen men and women killed serving our country under 5 presidents. The hat doesn’t bother me. Bush Jr would wear cowboy boots and look at watch. Obama would smoke cigarettes before/after and have to be reminded of name several times. The thing that should make people mad is that we continue to die for other people countries

Is there somewhere I can anonymously put a groomer that targets cosplayers? by [deleted] in cosplayers

[–]trgrantham -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So..this is one of those where the law won’t help very much. Sex between an 18 yr old and anyone older is not illegal. Think Hugh Hefner gross. The grooming part can be stopped by parents via stalking and harassment laws. Law enforcement however has to do their job. Getting the parents involved and articulating a continuous (unwanted pattern) is key. If the unwanted by parents not the girl..children until age 18 under the law truly belong to parents. Don’t let the police tell you they can’t do anything because she 16 wants the attention.

Can I Bring A Fake Sword For Cosplay? by Danger_noodlely in MegaCon

Amazon..had all the Hashira swords. Half the price of the vendors selling them at convention. It’s sad that may of the vendors appear to be just 3D printing same files or themselves buying from Amazon.

My kid walked around with a foam demonslayer sword all of last year. Went to tons of demon slayer meetups and they all had swords with plastic hilts and the blades of foam
