How'd it go today?

[Danthetree1]

I've figured it out! This is punishment for not paying attention in shop class. Hahaha!

Thanks for all the tips folks.

 

[Danthetree1]

What the hell? Guess I need to get the chop saw out. Why won't you just love me constitution work?

 

[Tree09]

I would try to simply remove then reinstall those joist hangers, they are pretty important. Lacking that, just bash the shit out of them with a hammer. Exhibit A of why I'll never fix up a house again, always fixing other people's frig ups.

 

[Danthetree1]

Busted out the attitude adjuster. Hahaha. This must of been the Friday room.

 

[Tree09]

No, it's simply typical of home construction. There's far less money in residential construction, so the quality of work often reflects that.

I got the shop wired to my liking and added some 100,000 lumens inside. It's like looking at the sun blinding!

[Danthetree1]

I'm no expert but shouldn't there be something more substantial holding this door in?

 

[flushcut]

Shims. But I know as much about construction as I do the bottom of my foot. Very little.

 

[SeanKroll]

Someone should invent shims.

 

[flushcut]

I'll fix for you: "Someone should have invested in shims."

 

[Tree09]

A gap that big almost looks like the rough opening is even off. I would be tempted to fix that shit too Also maybe foam the gap for insulation too.

 

[flushcut]

Maybe it was deliberate trying to compensate for not being square.

 

[Tree09]

Exhibit B

 

[Danthetree1]

Losing it guys.

That's not too far out there. I do carpentry with a chainsaw, and my hammer more times than not is an axe :^D

 

[Danthetree1]

Yeah I need to do some framing too. The twobyfers are chainsaw work for sure.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Moving ahead.

 

[Danthetree1]

@Dave Shepard that is awesome!

 

[Danthetree1]

definitely a Friday room....

 

[treebilly]

You’re giving me flashbacks now from my construction days.

 

[lxskllr]

Didn't really do much today. Finished the day by lighting a Swedish candle, and soon after fire trucks came up the street. I was wondering if some tard reported smoke or something, but it was apparently some kind of Christmas thing. I didn't go out front to look, but I saw when they went by, they were towing some kind of lighted trailer. Sirens going, lights going, sometimes honking out jingle bells with the horn... I wasn't terribly impressed, but I don't think I'm the target demographic. I just wanted a quiet night outside. Never happened before. I'm guessing it was for the kids who are having a somewhat limited holiday experience due to covid.

 

[Danthetree1]

I love the quite. To each their own i also suppose.

 

[SeanKroll]

Just the soft sound of ringing in my ears.

Went out the road today and got a tree for decorating before snow closes the roads down. Some nice scenery.
