Your main floor joist that span the entire thing that sit on the concrete really should have been 16 or 24" on center. If not you're going to run into issues on where to split your plywood as well as sag. All 4 edges of you plywood need to sit on something.

Now you're talking my neck of the woods. At one time I thought of doing some fishing in the marsh but visibility kind of sucks in a lot of places as you're not higher than the marsh grass and you have to avoid coon asses going 60 who have been drinking all day.

It's nice when you get bored to walk out and catch a few fish. I have some catfish also so I feed them dog food which my nieces and nephews enjoy watching them all surface to get a bite. Most hardware stores or feed stores here sell pelletized food for catfish or whatever else you can throw out...

Most people here use packing mud if they have sandy soils to keep from losing the water. You don't even have to take it out of the bag, just place it on the bottom and let the pond fill up and the bag gets soaked and becomes an effective water barrier. Which area of the country? I can...

Florida wins again....coon on a gator.

If I had $1 for every pond owner or potential pond owner who says "but it's deep" which is the standing joke for biologist as if that fixes everything lol. Pond managment isn't as easy as dig a hole and stock it. Depending on where you live it can be a lot of work. It doesn't have to be a lot...

Nope really not interested in anything other than deliverying the news and getting out. We're moving the operation to my hometown, so at least they will be in the same time zone and I speak very fluent coon ass as opposed to none whatever they speak in Thailand. Although the head guy I talk to...

I guess it's a smaller town somewhere near Bangkok. The only info I have is Prachin Buri, Thailand. No I'm not looking for a hooker. I'm looking to get in and get out as quickly as possible. Plus I'm traveling with our 85 year old owner assuming he's back from his month long trip to Africa...

I have to go to Thailand soon for business. We're shutting down an operaton there and they want them told in person. I'm not staying but 1-2 days max. I'm flying in with the owner of the parent company in his personal jet so that helps. I have no desire to sightsee, anything I need to know to...

First step, never go to Lowes.

I know this is football, but....enjoy sporting time with your dad. It's more about his dad if you watch the whole thing. Not very long. My dad and I were at this game, it was the first CWS we went to together. Bottom of the 9th, 2 out home run to win it. Dad's not doing very well now. It's...

Oh I know, I was just making a joke. I don't like dicking with it if I don't have to. Just pointing out even tho I have actual cad skills I'm not above using a piece of paper and a pencil which in my career field apparently is akin to tech related people using a calculator.

He's a member of a non gaming/ non tank related forum I'm a member of. He's a pretty sharp guy and he has a youtube channel where he travels and checks out the tanks in person and crawls all over in them and in them. He's also the person I mentioned earlier where I got my world of ships early...

Two other similar tanks are going in that are Egyptian models.

Hey, I did it for a living for 25 years. I designed and produced shop drawings for an $18 million furnace for the Exxon refinery on graph paper and a penicl and a straight edge only 2 years ago in the field. I could have done it in cad but honestly I didn't want to dick with uploading it.

You could just put the the floor joist on your concrete deals and put the floor right down on that without having a floor joist and a support under it on the concrete deal. Put them on each end or even if you want one in the middle and then fill in level at the top with joist hangers using short...

The maximum span for a 2x4 floor joist assuming it's no.2 southern yellow pine is only 5' at 16" centers. If you go up to 2x6 is just under 10' with the same deflection for a given load. Big difference. The last shop I built here at the house I used 2x6 No.2 for the floor joist and went 8'...

Murder is good for the economy.

Personally I find fork over rated and I've fished all the lakes in East, TX a LOT. College I only had class M-T- and 1/2 day on Wed. so I fished a lot. It's good if you can fish in the week during the spawn otherwise too many people, too many out of staters that don't have a clue etc... I...

I think they have gone up in price. I actually got the first one they built for taking promotional pictures when they first came out in 2008 or 2009 I can't remember. I paid $2,200 for it. Not something you want to carry and portage a lot since it's heavy. But it's nice for bass fishing since...

Leave it to a German to think of that. It might not be available on the EU servers.

Me? Now I've never gone after really big fish. Maybe 25 pound redfish. I've only fished saltwater with it a few times. If it's calm I can stand in my kayak because it's a huge kayak. I mostly got it for freshwater fishing when I lived in East Texas on all of the above mentioned lakes. Even the...

I have a hobie pro angler. I find it amusing that you think Austin is surrounded by some of the best bass fishing TX lol. It's not bad but seriously. I live in the hill country now not far from Austin. At best I would say the bass fishing is "OK". It's nothing like when I lived minutes from...

Well if it's on a slab that's a big issue right there, putting in a new drain. If it's over floor joist that is an issue if you have to go perpindulcar to them and make cuts for the drain. Either way not good.

Video of robot fails at DARPA Robot Challenge followed by some normal coverage. Best part of 2nd video starts around 3:00:00 with practical challanges.

I'm not too worried about it, just seemed odd. I already knew the job they called about was open as there are only a limited number of people who do what I do. I didn't have an agreement thru the original recruiter. I just knew that the company was looking to hire X and someone who worked...

Israeli super sherman coming at some point. Not sure if it's a premium or what, but it has a 90mm gun.

Moving a toilet would be bad/difficult. Followed by moving the controls for the shower/tub which would require either gutting the wall on that side or cutting an access from the rear on the other side. Depending on how old the valves are in the wall already. Lots of times on older stuff they...

Pad of graph paper. I have been a designer using AutoCad for 25 years and still use it daily. I would rather sit down with a pad of graph paper and throw ideas around than sit down and start from zero in a cad package. Once you get the rough idea down then throw into a cad package to work out...

Recruiters are selling resumes to other recruiters now I guess. I applied for a job thru a recuiter about 6 months ago. The company hired me direct in a different posistion and bypassed the recruiter. The recruiter said it wasn't a big deal since they staff a large portion of our shop and wanted...

I would only do a breast or two or something similar. Not an entire duck.

I had a '74 Blazer I got from my family whoboughtit new. I drove it all thru high school as my 2nd car. It was great, take the top off and have an open top. Or put the canvas bimini type top on to get out of the sun. Much like this one except it was blue, similar size tires on it. It lasted...

If it was a Blazer I would be all over it.

Former Obama Spokesman Robert Gibbs Hired by McDonalds - NBC News How about just make food people want to eat in a place they want to eat at?

Duck.

DoD sponsored.

Seen lots of guys "cook" on an engine or at least reheat in the military.

2nd largest purchse most people will make in their lifetime, let's not talk about them or research or whatever.
