Nice, that's all good information. I'm near the southern tip of Lake Michigan. We're sandy here because it used to be dune all the way out here. I may need to mud pack the bottom, but I haven't done the research yet. I'm getting excited about the project, though, and may start on it this...

This made me laugh, and it's relevant to this thread.

I think I'd probably dedicate a full acre to the pond with a maximum depth of maybe 10 feet. I have a natural spot for it, and I think it's entirely feasible. There's an abandoned well on my property that still produces excellent water, and I could run that to fill it, though I think if I go...

I have space at the back end of my property to make a pond, and I have access to the serious land-moving machinery needed to make it happen. I am considering making a pond big enough to stock, so that we can regularly eat pan-fish caught within walking distance, but it will take a few years to...

Punish those around you in order to eat what you want to. A man after my own fart.

I've actually never bought a kitchen gadget that I haven't continued to use on a regular basis. Waffle maker? weekly. Apple peeler corer slicer? Pies all the time. Stove top espresso maker? Every morning. Maybe this will break the trend. It arrives tomorrow. I am as hard a diamonds in an...

Yeah, we have a few tablet type things the kids use to watch netflix or youtube or hulu or whatever. Haven't had cable for a long time now, don't miss it. We got a digital antenna rabbit ears type thing, so we can get the major networks now, which is good for various sporting events. Women's...

Know what I think sous vide cooking will rob us of? Think about slow cooking a big old piece of meat (whatever your favourite is). Come home after that puppy has been cooking all day, and the house smells delicious. Not so with sous vide.

Hahaha, 7 guys on the ice with 8 seconds left. Bloody ridiculous. Good game from the period I saw. Hope Chicago can win at home next game!

What? what? what!? I just turned it on.

No. I 100% wish I had just pulled that shit off and hung drywall. Less time, less effort, less sanding.

Preferably nudes.

Get the grill stupid fucking hot, and only do a minute or two on each side.

I have, and it is an enormous pain in the ass. It takes forever, and requires a lot of sanding. Like, a lot. And it takes forever. Many, many thin coats is the way to do it. So, have patience and love sand dust all over your house? It's for you!

Dude, I'm yanking your chain. I entirely understood what your diagram showed. Just call me a dick head and move on.

That's some quality CAD work, Borzak!

Can you tell me what that is before I go look at it?

I thought it was a novel, but that's "The Saltpeter Foxes." Didn't seem likely folks were cooking with books.

I'd say you're welcome to try that, but I'm guessing if you get a tornado, I'm going to go ahead and say that's not going to save your structure. Might keep the floor down, but the rest isn't staying.

I typically don't use metal hangers for this kind of work. Especially if you can frame it all with screws from the outside. Three substantial decking screws in each end is going to hold up, and that's far less finicky than the metal hangers. But, that's just an opinion, and I know many people...

You really don't want less than 2x6 on the floor, anyway. Too much sagging and changing shape, otherwise. I tend to over-engineer stuff, but using less than 2x10s on a floor seems like tom foolery to me.

I have one bathroom to go in my house. The tile is all functioning perfectly, but it is a crappy 1980s Miami Vice style renovation done in the 80s. Ugly as sin, but totally functional, so I have it on the back burner until most everything else is done. I have it worked out how I can get a 1...

That can't possibly what I think it is, can it? I am certainly not going to the site, but please tell me it isn't actually what it says...

Holy mother of all that is dysfunctional.

I believe she once gave him chlamydia, so they're technically even, I think.

Oh man. Dead Presidents. That movie made me want to kill everyone and then myself. Dead Presidents (1995) - IMDb

Pfft. Moving a toilet is not that big a deal. You just have to make sure you can structurally support it while you have enough slope on the plumbing that empties into a large stack that is adequately vented. Simple.

Yeah, but who hasn't?

I guess this is a good (but sad) point. Oh no you fucking didn't....

Ahh, this brisket is amazing. Is that a hint of tree stump remover you've used? Brilliant!

Do a lot of reading on pruning, and it will go fine. Much of it can be done from in the tree if you can climb at all.

Yeah, I've been tiling for years, and I still shy away from tiling a shower. I always make space to put a 1 piece unit in (often have removed doors to make this possible). Those beasts won't leak for thirty years. Tiling I have done myself? Probably be okay, and I've helped friends do it, but...

Screw it, then. Take care of it. Declare ownership. Do some ladder and climbing work, and then scream "Get off my lawn!!" any time anyone else gets near it.

Isn't that true of everything you wet dip? Athankyou But seriously? I have hella hard water, like shit's ridiculous even with a softener. Is this going to be a short lived appliance because water issues? Corrosion showing up after one use does not fill me with moist, deliciously cooked...

No way I'm starting with duck. Maybe pork tenderloin, maybe steak. But if I do a duck, it's going to be a whole duck, and it's going to be after I perfect my techniques.
