    @a_skeleton_03 can I get a temporary appointment to @Tuco 's vacant seat and a summary de-mod / shawing? I don't want to put in the effort to come by it legitimately.

    They can, but they are fucking with you hoping you will quit, and if you don't they still win. Employers do that shit all the time. Rumor mongering about other peoples pay stubs is stupid and unprofessional, get over it. You do that shit at your next job and youll have these same problems.

    I bet he has kept his head down and just worked showing passion, dedication, pride and a positive attitude. If you could find that in yourself your check would reflect it. IF. INB4, you try to lie to yourself and us saying 'but I do"

    they make per-laminated board (4x8 feet), it has a low grade formica like surface. you have to masking tape where you are gonna cut so the face doesnt peel, and spotting to hide the fasteners is shitty. comes in a bunch of thickness, they fab shitty cabinets out of it, a plywood supply place...

    Epoxy was a joke please dont. it would be super bad. Liquid nails and fasteners. liquid nails it just to buffer the bounce from walking on the lumber and stop squeaks. A must do for sub flooring imo

    @Picasso3 also old carpenters trick is to drag your screw over a bar of soap to lube they so they dont split the wood and sink easy. fancy guys use beeswax, but fuck those pretentious fucks. Watch Anal Retentive Carpenter from Saturday Night Live on NBC.com

    @Picasso3 if you wanna get fancy with your inch thick treads you can counter sink screw they down and buy a plug cutter to make plugs to cover the holes from your drops. buy a drill stop to do consistent depth in your counter sinks.

    I guess you could say I was a beta tester. I had the first gen ones a ways back with metal plates for the induction element they constantly rusted and made shitty contact. They probably work better now, but I couldnt use all my pots and pans on it and it didnt have the subtly of temp range...

    all this finish carpentry shit comes down to 16ths and 32nds, it sucks. I measure 3X before I cut finish shit, I draw a lot of pictures with square lines and measurements when dicking with that shit. I hate blowing a cut. I really want to reach this level of skill in finish, but it will never...

    Ahh, you can, thats a ton of work and you will end up caulking a lot because no way you will hit it your cuts exact. I take advantage of the give in drywall to wedge a tight fit, and if I have a teeny gap I fake it with a cunt hair of caulk. Reason I dont run those is stairs only take...

    Ok, so step 1 you are going to peel and clip back the current treads to net, or change them to treated. if you change them make sure to set new ply lumber crown up and use liquid nails or some other construction adhesive so they dont creak. in a few years. skin ply over the existing ply...

    This is a typical run rise layout 8 H x10 W w/ 1inch tread nose., you usually run ply or 2x on the srtingers and cap net, with the nose in the finish. So I would either peel and clip back the current treads or redo in treated, I only use treated because termites are an issue where I build...
