This is my father in laws cabinet. He filled it up with tools and moved cross country. At some point it fell, and the lock engaged, now he can't get it open. We're soliciting advice on how to go about getting this open. Apparently he tipped it upside down to see if gravity would lift the locking pins out of position haha

Anyone know how these locks work and can maybe offer some advice? He's going to use a bore scope where the key hole is missing, but I am skeptical he'll find anything...

I finally decided to order a back patch from Razor Ray. It arrived today and I want to share my experience in case you were wondering... I have no affiliation, I just took the chance on a patch from a sketchy looking site...

What to know...

Razor Ray and black sheep rock shop are the same place. Dude runs it out of Poland. Black sheep is the "US site" if you will, but it all seems to come from the same place. I've noticed the inventory is not the same but I'm not sure what that implies. It looks like a scam site but I received what I ordered.

What to expect...

It'll take a long time. Weeks and weeks, so don't be in a hurry. Communication will be minimal. My favorite was when I asked for an update on my order and in the reply dude said something like "do not email me again" lol...

My order got held up by US customs which added about 2 weeks to the delivery.

I don't know about the technical stuff. This is printed or maybe dye sublimated...just the edge is embroidered

All in all I'd say it was worth the wait. This was the only place I could find with a patch like this so I went for it .

see you at FH 😎

Hi - I'm a stranger here ... I ordered stickers online for my band a few weeks ago, and interleaved with our stickers were a few of these.

Just wanted to share in case you ordered these and were a few short.

hi - first time visitor, but increasingly interested in landscaping and hardscaping in particular. Hoping to get some inspiration and advice 🤞🏻

We have just had a deck built and I'm looking for inspiration on what to do this this spot under it. The concrete pad under it ends ~10' from the end of the house. You may be able to see there's a sewer cleanout, dryer exhaust, exterior recepticle and exterior faucet in this area. Ignore the fridge. The length/depth of the pad (from the house) is 16' and it's about 1' above grade at the end away from the house. The front 2 concrete footers are about 4" lower on than the lone footer.

I was thinking about a paver patio here. I believe this would need a retaining wall. However, if the wall was even with the concrete pad in the front, the posts would be 8"-12" below the surface.. I wouldn't want to bury them or pour additional concrete around them... that all seems like trouble.... So I was thinking maybe a paver patio that's 8'-10' deep (moving away from the house) so that ends just before the solitary post....

but I think I want to cover all the ground under the deck, so maybe I could add a second, lower retaining wall that ends near the front 2 posts? I sketched that out in blue ...

or perhaps I could add a lower wooden "deck" here, that's a step down from the pavers and pad. I could rest it on the concrete footers and some deck blocks and I could compensate for the 4" difference in footer height with lumber selection (e.g., something like 2x8" in the front, 2x4" in the back, shimmed/trimmed, etc.) ..that's sketched out in blue/orange ...

another option would be the 2 level paver pad, but the lower level is just flush with the top of the footers, but then that lower pad would be sloped following the grade, which I don't think you're supposed to do ... at least I've never seen anyone do it ...

anyway, what do you think? anything I should consider for this space?

My wife and I played it this morning and I said "I should probably get a flute" and she just rolled her eyes.... stopped by my boy Bruce's yahd sale and, lol and behold 🤩
