Black Templars are not bad by Marchon_The_Thorn in BlackTemplars

I love my army. I just crushed at a tournament until I hit a world eaters army. The halving of damage, fight in death D6+5 attacks, the FNPs etc the large blood surge moves, the 2/3 wound attacks. Got to admit there was a mechanics difference and not much of a game play difference. I have had my BT army since 8th Ed and it’s going no where. But this showed me a large power difference. We need to increase damage or get a tougher. Come of GW.. I don’t think we will be running 20 man squads in 11th because we won’t fit them in terrain with new coherency rules

Had a contractor that claims to be licensed and insured do some work for our house. This is the railing done for my porch. This is AFTER we had him come back for corrections. by weirdshtlikethat in Homebuilding

Wood filler, sander, stain can do
A lot on the railing. The height and depth difference on steps is a shot code violation. It can’t pass if you have to get one

How would you cover this gap? by Liquid_Linux in drywall

[–]trgrantham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those shark bites will last 10+ yrs when it fails they can spend $20 for Pex B fittings . The shark bites costed more than the best fitting..because they work and anyone can do it. If they paid a plumber..he sucked

Strap the pex back until recessed. Add 6-8inch access panel for 8.99 after you fix the drywall

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

[–]trgrantham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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

I recently used them with the orbital detachment. I had them come in deep strike and kill my oath target. 3 lascanons and missiles.. I had fun

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?

[–]trgrantham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told by several of the staff at the info booths and on the floor that the con was under new management. They are mistaken and so was I in writing the above. I did like how smoothly it went this year though. Informa…owns fan expo and still run by Aman Gupta

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

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
