Planer makes sense, thanks. What do you mean by "Only solid wood touches the floor. So plywood on edge." Do I build it out of real lumber or plywood?

Solid advice, everyone. Thanks. I will chew on it, but I am definitely building a box. I thought dimensional lumber was the best choice. My first thought was plywood or OSB on edge, but stacked 6 inch strips with staggered joints, log cabin style, sounds way better and not too hard to build...

Hey everyone, I am back for the solid advice this place always had. The internet is dead these days, and this forum really knows it's stuff I am redoing the flooring throughout the house and the kitchen. The kitchen is IKEA SEKTION based, and the flooring is Fuzion Laminate Nautiq Pro, 9 1/4...

IMHO the bolt extractor socket should work but use it with a impact and push on it hard. If that does not work see if you can get a big drill bit to take off the head with the washer. Even better, maybe a hole saw could cut off the washer, and leave some of the bolt out to have something to...

What’s the best way to reattach a section of drywall in the ceiling that doesn’t span between joists? Backing it with wood is effective, but it feels a bit rude for whoever might need to cut it again in the future. Is it possible to secure it safely using just tape? One thing I’ve learned for...

I just pressed new bearings on the motor and installed new brushes in my old Frigidaire dishwasher. I still have all the appliances I had when I started the thread.

A new high-beam offender is Tesla, which is especially upsetting since they’re supposed to be self-driving soon, yet they still cruise with high beams on. Teslas come with auto-off high beams, so the drivers must go out of their way to be extra obnoxious by keeping them on. I flash them and then...

Just dropping by to say thanks for the help I got in this thread as I am coming to my 2 year anniversary of buying my first house. It was a super stressful time and I got a lot of help and guidance from here. Thanks.

I get it but the judicial system needs to be held accountable for the retreat offenders. I don't want the consequences to come from meat head officers. Is a beat down even an effective deterrent?

Wait what? Police brutality is what kept the crime rate low?

I fixed a bunch of top boxes with g-flex epoxy. My understanding is the CT stuff isn't really epoxy it's polyester resin. If you look you can find the g-flex cheaper at marine stores. G-flex has a longer working time than that CT stuff. Many older Thule boxes cracked where the mounting mechanism...

Purified urine is better than sex changing hormones they force on kids!

^ nukes might be the worst case scenario, but Trudeau winning is a close second and we have to get ready for that.

Just going to put this out there https://nypost.com/2023/07/28/family-who-died-off-grid-only-watched-youtube-to-prepare/ Don't go too hardcore on their first trip.

Who handles warranty? The store or do they just direct the buyer to deal with the manufacturer? Trail appliances isn't that far. A 40 minute drive... is usually 40 minutes. Our current Frigidaire fridge is still decent. The only problem we are having is that food keeps getting moldy in it. It...
