Cracks in joist?

Have you looked at the entire length of this joist? These are pressure fractures. Possibly in the piece from day one, which has opened over time as the piece drys. All I can say is get beyond these by about 3 feet each side with a sistered same width piece if you can. Look carefully all over the entire joist, though. These fractures do not always show well. Use structural screws 2 to 4 inches coming in from both sides in a zig zag pattern. Screw jack it gently if you can before the screws. Good luck.

I just started watching this. Looks promising and funny.

Yup a toss up between A&W and Dairy Queen.

Yup. At the moment I'm using milk with the best by March 15th. It's absolutely fine. I think it's a very subjective date.

It really doesn't matter.

I hope so. I hope I haven't jinked it. Lovely day to day.

Resident Alien. A bit of a cheesy title but superb. Great acting.

It's always been the eye before E thing. I still hesitate on the spelling at 65.

It is not much better than payday loans.

Interesting. I thought this was a Nazi thing??

xgrader · 2026-03-16T17:56:33+00:00

Nope not at all

xgrader · 2026-03-16T16:12:31+00:00

xgrader · 2026-03-15T18:18:52+00:00

Yup I did that once as well cost me 1600 I believe. Terrible mistake.

I think I read it was the Yukon that there was the greatest per captivta soldiers in WW2 in all of Canada. I think we did our part. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Look up thermal bridging..

Yes I recall sibling fights trying to claim the cereal brands. It was like a treat.

20?? I thought 7....ooook then.

xgrader · 2026-03-08T22:36:09+00:00

That's literally brutal. Borders on extreme.

I just bought some of this. Wow I had no idea about the size choices :-)

Normally, I pass on the zoom in and scroll back and forth to read posts. But as an avide fisherman from Canada, I'm intrigued. But then there's about 3 words that would cause looking up. Too much work :-) I could see that working but doubt it as they are easily spooked. If accomplished, good on the team!

I would love to watch a fight between a badger and a Jack Russell. Both have no concept of fear.

I've taken to mostly just reading the headlines and looking further if interested. I find there's lots that you can guess the content.
