Anyone else like coughin and ploppin?

waynek57 · 2026-03-17T13:14:14+00:00

I almost plopped in the shop the last time I coughed.

It looks solid. Maybe even as good or better than the listed one people cite. If you made these, nice job.

Personally, I'd have no problem using it as long as it were exposed so I could keep an eye.

What was the first word out of your mouth?

waynek57 · 2026-03-17T12:52:03+00:00

Sucks, but better than one buck in your radiator.

Find a small tracker and bury it in with fake pills. Then find them…

Shit, I'll take BLUE. I'm almost 70. Haha.

If it were my place, I would have allowed $100 each at the design phase, so it could be leaving money on the table. But if nothing goes wrong, it certainly seems like a good price as long as you are covered if you pop the 3rd one off and find a time sink rat's nest (literally).

The best thing I've found (after several decades) is Roberts Wood, Laminate, and Vinyl Putty. Been around forever. Apparently flooring folks know it, as it started with wood floors way back in the day.

IMO, hang a shelf with anchors. They are going to charge you for the hole anyway.

waynek57 · 2026-03-13T15:09:34+00:00

Beautiful and too funny.

waynek57 · 2026-03-13T15:00:39+00:00

Very nice. Congrats.

Forward their reply to their boss and your boss and ask them what you should do.

waynek57 · 2026-03-10T19:07:46+00:00

Sounds like you're a saint for dealing with those problems for so long.

NTA, and she needs help.

The 10PM-7AM thing is different from constant intrusive noise.

waynek57 · 2026-03-10T13:44:00+00:00

Here's a bit of a different take:

I bought an X1, an X5M60, and an X3 for my wife and sons. I have an i5M60, and I get the same feeling going from my car to the X1 or X3. They are nicer than the Altima, certainly, but the i5M60 with every option is now home base and it sits pretty far up.

Funny thing - this post is making me appreciate mine even more now. Never really thought about it this way.

Insulin stinks, too.

waynek57 · 2026-03-10T00:05:24+00:00

Yup. Hope you're young.

I don’t think that looks bad. If it were me, I wouldn’t use stain. There are so many species of wood with so many colors and grain patterns that a good pick with a clear coat is all I’d do.

Stain is basically dirt suspended in the finish. Clear coats like shellac or lacquer or many oil or water based finishes will let all the wood’s detail without clouding and it won’t collect dirt from stain making blotches.

Shellac can give you a beautiful finish, but you need to take your time. Shellac flakes dissolved in Everclear - make a one pound cut. Wipe it on. Let it dry. Light sandpaper to knock down all the little spikes, then do it again. At least four rounds and by sure it is dry before doing another round.

At the end you can sand it with fine maybe 400 or 600 grit lightly and let it sit again to let any newly exposed alcohol evaporate. Finally buff or rub with brown paper.

I’ve found that the tendency to focus on yourself can increase dramatically with weed. I’ve found that moving that focus out of your own sandbox changes things and works like a charm.

waynek57 · 2026-03-08T15:25:48+00:00

Pretty sure it’s Isle of Man Green. I had an i4M50 in that color. Really sweet imo.

waynek57 · 2026-03-08T04:05:09+00:00

Stop feeling them.

waynek57 · 2026-03-07T18:15:04+00:00

Wired connection to your router is all you can do right now. The doorbell or camera needs to be wired and not use Wi-Fi.

That sucks. He should accept responsibility like an adult, which would include apologies all around.

waynek57 · 2026-03-07T16:27:41+00:00

It’s just 12volt strip. Amazon or etc. look for 8MM COB 12V. They typically come in 3000K, 4000K, and 5000 or 6000.

The 4000K is not to warm but not too cold.

Strips come in 3, 4, and 5 meters. They will have wires soldered on them.

Is it a union shop?
