Running the army 10 miler this weekend, supposed to rain the entire time including the lead up/getting ready for corral. already gonna rock a throw away poncho, any tips to keep shoes dry before the race?
is it still out as a viewing option? missed so much last season, still don’t want to pay monumental just for caps games but I’m itching to watch more hockey this year.
took the cover off my air handler to diagnose why my ac stopped. Turns out a 3amp fuse popped, easy fix. however, there’s obvious mold on the insulation. this is new, I have the system serviced bi-annually. what are my options here?
Have an old deck I’ve slowly refurbished over the past couple years since buying our home. project this summer is to replace the two front 4x6 posts so that I can regrade and put in a paver patio underneath. 4x6 > 6x6 posts, previous install was shallow similar to a fence post. The post has been underground since we bought the house and has sunk due to neighbor downspout dumping right at their foundation. I fixed this for them, braced the deck with two 4x4 posts, then dug around the footing only to realize the full extent of the rot and condition of the footing. not only was the footing inadequate, it was crumbling likely due to its shallow depth and the water damage. I dug out a 36” hole, laid 3” of gravel, tamped down, then poured a 34” x 16” diameter sonotube of sakrete. Freeze line in my area is 30”. Installed a 5/8” x 10” Galvanized L bolt, Simpson 6x6 standoff base, and simpson galvanized post cap. Used SD connector screws to fasten.
any feedback or tips before I tackle the other side?
Thanks!
im in the process of replacing/refurbishing my deck. it’s a second floor deck, and the two end posts have rotted at the ground level from really old 80’s building practices. I’ve got one done and am working on the other. one thing I need to think of is lateral bracing. previously the 4x6 posts had 2x6’s diaganolly bracing. now however the beam is centered on the 6x6 so the two faces dont line up anymore. what are my options for lateral bracing?
Hey everyone, looking at one of these for my first new bike in 20 years. My 6 year old is getting REALLY into riding his bike, exploring further, ride on some of the local trails by my house, spends hours on the weekend riding, hitting ramps, the works. I was riding a crappy 20 year old schwinn that was a little too small for me and am ready to step up to something entry level from a solid brand. Thinking of grabbing one of these (although open to recommendations) since they’re pretty easy to find at local shops. Any opinions on the three for my use case of riding around town, exploring long paved bike trails, possibly a little dirt trails, and then occasional towing of a kid trailer for my 18 month old twins? also plan to use the bike for cross training, im an avid runner and want to switch it up sometimes.
