    What did you do this week?

    Thanks, I got the design from a Facebook post my wife shared to me. I cheated on the half laps, stacking 2 boards together instead of milling it out.

    My wife got a juror letter in December. She had to fill out an online survey then call a number the night before her term was to begin, When called they said she was not needed. Unless I'm mistaken, she will be exempt for 5 years. I was part of a 350 juror pool a decade or so back, told to...

    I just looked up the St Paul recycling web page and saw a few things I found surprising although, they certainly make sense. Only (1) PETE, (2) HDPE and (5) PP are accepted for recycling and none of those can be black. The types make sense as they are readily recyclable but I'm not sure why...

    My city currently issues 2, 96 gallon (363 liter) containers to each household, with an option to lease additional. One is for trash, picked up weekly and the other is recyclables, picked up bi-weekly. No Extra charges for these pickups. The recyclables are unsorted. Glass is prohibited in the...

    Thank you Bruno, I enjoy learning about cultures and customs different from mine. I have a long time friend that is a German expat in Australia, actually just got her dual citizenship. We often discuss the differences between the 3 countries. She despises Imperial measurements and that is where...

    Thanks, Bruno. I'm enjoying seeing your finds but there are a few things I'm trying to wrap my head around. Are handkerchiefs very commonly used in Belgium? Here, in my experience, they are used mostly by older men (80 plus) and more so in some ethnicities. They are usually plain white or the...

    Distribute among forum friends prior to passing? Just kidding! None of my sons are particularly interested either, other than a few "remember Dad by" choices. When I retired my wife insisted I catalog everything in order to make listing on eBay easier for her. I got about 400 or so of just...

    There is a grocery store nearby that will be closing soon. I went there this morning while my wife ran some errands and got stockup items for 50% off. She texted me later that she stopped there also and needed help bringing things in. As she was showing her bargain finds to me she gave me the...

    What did you do this week?

    110 pounds(50 kg) is what I calculated. I would have thought it would be more.

    What did you do this week?

    I haven't calculated the weight but I should. I used a whole slew of 4 inch deck screws into the joists and the sill plate.

    What did you do this week?

    My son and I built a first in, first out canned food rack. It's ugly, it's crude, it's functional. It takes a whole lot of weight off the shelves. The plywood used for most of it was warped and caused quite a few issues but it is done. I'll make a few tweaks on the width of the front strips...

    @32t Looks like you've got a really cold day going, -5f (-20.5c) with a predicted low of -19f (-28.3) tonight. Keeping yourself warm?

    Our pipes are all exposed in the basement with easy access and lots of shutoff valves. We had an older contractor remodel the bathtub into a shower. Two years later we started having leaks and the whole subfloor was soggy. The guy had used cedar shingles to build the shower pan and tiled...

    I bet you were relieved when you realized that. The last time I chased down a drip I ended up replacing the bottom half of my shower and the subfloor under it.
