Not So Pro 3

Morning ope. It’s been a rough start to the week here. Found out a guy I grew up hunting with wife passed away sunday. Today I got a call another person I grew up hunting with passed away this morning. I sure my mri news isn’t the third bad news of the week. The weather is nice and I’m outside enjoying it just wish the road work a block over was done so I don’t have to listen to these stupid machines and vehicles and their back up alarms all day. Have a good one.

Is today MRI news day ? Hope it turns out to be good news

OSB is expensive. That is all.

What is 7/16" OSB up to now? It topped out around $55 a sheet when I left Lowe's.

OSB is expensive. That is all.

I priced lumber for a new work bench a while back and actually stepped back and looked at prefab metal workbenches

You can't build a bomb proof wooden bench for $100 anymore

When I started getting prices for our fence and thought they were trying to rape me I looked at what my cost to build it with the same materials would be, thinking 75% of their cost was labor

Nope, and with the sky high prices they charge I don't see how they are actually making a profit after paying for wood

Plus they reject 70% of the garbage cedar fence boards they buy; I watched them sort through the bunks as they were building the fence

Tomorrow plan, spin bike, hooray, and then possibly the missing wires I'm waiting for will arrive.
Need to get a friend of mine to mill out a plastic block I have lying around as well.

Good morning folks. Short week this week then a trip up to the U.P. (eh) to move a kid into school. Hanging around Marquette for three days won't be so bad. I'll probably leap into Lake Superior at some point. Keep it square today.

Hey Tim we are keeping it square 3 different ways today. @JoeDirt . Is your computer screen that cool?

OSB is expensive. That is all.

What are you paying? It is ~$15.50/sheet for 7/16" here.

Good morning fellas

Not like a few years ago
$50/ sheet at HD . 3/4” CDX was pushing $100.
SF Bay Area…

$24 a sheet for 7/16" here in Anchorage area big box stores

So much for final inspection… the mounting surfaces on these parts have to be flat to seal against a mating part. Drawing calls out 0.005” flatness tolerance across the face. This is totally doable with a post-welding machining step. Shop said, “they looked fine so I sent them.”

At 330 I will see the what the mri showed. Fingers crossed it’s not like the rest of the news I’ve received so far this week. It was a productive morning so far though. Finally got the rear view camera installed on the big enclosed trailer. That camera has been sitting on the counter since late January early February. I just need to adjust the angle some as it’s looking to far out. Also need to get use to it. Next weekend I’ll adjust it and install the e track on the floor and some on the walls. Only taken me a year to get the new trailer set up like the one that got hailed out last summer.

0.005" or 0.125" out each side?

 

[farminkarman]

0.005" or 0.125" out each side?

In actuality, both flanges are about .125" out....pretty ridiculous.

 

[Woodwackr]

Bolt it down. Hard....

With a 1/2" thick gasket...

Good thing you showed up. The Firewood Hoarder looked at a house with drywall so bad it wrecked the roof and the floors.

What's your warranty conditions?

I don't remember my password on FHC.

Sounds like the painters should of used a oil base paint, seals out the water bester.

Drywaller should not have to warranty work, the painters clearly jacked up.

Drywaller has probably been dead for 30 years at this point.

Don't feel bad - wife forgot my password soon after the last kid was born

It was the drywallers fault the roof leaked from what I understood. Maybe sue his next of kin, or some such thing.
