I'm looking to get a custom ring made for my anniversary and having some trouble as I'm unable to find a jeweler with lapidary connections as well. Part of the ring involves cutting a single letter into the an emerald cut ruby to mimc the look of a signet but set into the stone rather than a gold face taking the impression.

Seems most custom jewelers don't have lapidary connections? or at least the few I've been to in the phoenix area.

any help is appreciated.

Of course it's 3 days after I bought my rock tumbler but whatever.

Other than your 10mm, tell me what tool you can never find when you need it, most relatable gets the coupon.

As mentioned before, I keep getting these so if you don't win, just check back in a couple weeks*

*until HF figures out they keep sending me these and fixes it

Not asking for legal advice: strictly asking if I'm missing something

From AZ so maybe it's a regional thing but been driving through WV, VA, NC, and TN the last 2 weeks and noticed that TN and NC both don't yield to oncoming traffic at the start of a green.

Scenario:

4 way traffic light, no turn arrows.

East and west stop then north and south get green, I start to go south, but north bound left turn halls ass in front of me to turn. They were stopped just like me and we both got the green light at the same time.

I've already started going each time because I have a green. What gives? Bad drivers or some weird NC traffic law I'm not aware of?

Edit: glad to hear it's just shit drivers. They're in abundance in AZ too but they just go 90+ everywhere instead

I keep getting them, my dumb luck is yours for the taking.

What's your best coworker insult?

Personal fave: "Are you chewing bubblegum?"

Congrats to rynstone. At this rate I'm sure I'll get another one next month so stay tuned

Expires tomorrow-best joke in the thread gets the coupon.

u/woomac wins this round. I have a feeling I'll be getting another soon. So tune in next time with your best insult for a coworker

Looking at building a small building on my lot near the pool. Currently I just want something for some additional storage. I've read through the city's guide that contains a lot of the basics but looking for more of the broader pieces.

Things I know I need:

1. Submit application for permit

2. For the building to not be more than 30 % of existing sq footage of yard

3. Can only have one secondary building (need to remove a rubbermaid shed as previous owner built a second shed)

4. Drawing of property with setbacks and showing where the building will be placed

I obviously need a slab first. I have a contractor for that and pricing already done. He said I need architectural plans for it, is that true? I know I need stamped trusses, but I naively presumed the basics of a square building would be pretty simple (2x6, hurricane ties, headers, and the like) and the building permit manual I linked above doesn't mention it.

Just looking for anyone who might have done similar and know the broader pieces that I might be missing.

I currently just have the $ for the slab and would be doing the framing/roof second. I presume I can pull 2 separate permits instead of leaving 1 open for an undetermined time?
