That's honestly a real good real estate picture, tells you there's shopping within a few minutes, real close to a hospital in case something in that rustic nightmare decides to maim you, and you're a few minutes' hike(/swim) from parkland.

Not Wolverine posted:... Maybe I'm just too Americanized to understand, but I feel using 8x8 beams in residential customers is simply a waste, unless your doing it for aesthetic reasons. I believe smaller dimensional lumber (2x4, 2x8, etc) is either as strong as an 8x8 frame, or strong enough for the building. You will of course need more 2x4s to get the same strength as one 8x8 post, but more straight 2x4s can be harvested from a forest than straight 8x8 posts. In addition, I think going with the 8x8 frame makes the building harder to repair in the future since you have to replace an expensive 8x8 post when something goes wrong, instead of replacing a couple cheap 2x4s.... My father in law likes to over-build. He and I made a bunk bed for my kids out of 2x6 Tamarack. The corner posts are tripled and glued with a slot to put the support edges in.. The support edges are 2x8. It's held together with carriage bolts and can be disassembled to be moved. It's heavy enough that all 260lbs of me can't tip it even if I try. It actually stays together even without the bolts because it's so heavy. Is it pretty cool? Yes. Is it way over the top in amount of lumber and weight? Hell yes. My daughter likes it though and it leaves room for sleepovers with bison or light armored vehicles.

Except it’s Virginia, so if you do open the garage door to prevent CO poisoning, your barn fills up with bugs. Honestly the biggest problem is that it looks like it’s guaranteed to flood, particularly as this part of the country gets hotter and wetter. drgitlin fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Dec 7, 2020 |

(no, seriously.....it's actually just fine if your barn is leaky af - the CO is going up and out along with the heat. You know, physics and all.)

That's specifically what's called an arborist's ladder, they have a big end, and a narrow pole that digs into the ground for working on trees, sketchy as gently caress if you use them for anything else, I have one.

The last round I bought were from CO Experts, but they've changed their entire product line and I feel like I've got to revisit the choices available. Not something I've been shopping for lately but I'd say look for something with a display that is made for an RV or similar. The basic residential ones that look like smoke detectors are fine, but not really for this purpose.

In what environment would you be using a low level detector? Our bedroom is close to the furnace and it's time to buy new ones, is a regular residential detector sufficient in this case?

BonerGhost posted:In what environment would you be using a low level detector? What Motronic said. I originally got one years ago because I had a boiler exhaust leak that I wanted to keep an eye on until it got fixed. I was pretty sure it wasn't causing an issue, but the whole problem with low level CO is that it's hard to tell you're impaired. Now I just like them because they're interesting. Same reason I own a bunch of hygrometers. No need to install one in a normal residential context. I don't think UL even really likes them, last I checked I think the argument against them was they result in additional nuisance alarms.

Elviscat posted:That kitchen has tons of counter space for how small it is, that's totally unnecessary. Hell no, that is sweet as hell for a tiny kitchen. They added a counter top to the place where it is most needed. Figure out a way* to stick a big rear end cutting board to that section and do all of your prep/mise right near the stove and fridge. Use the rest of the counter top for appliances and poo poo that's normally such a pain to find room for in cramped spaces. Mount some spice racks and a magnetic knife strip on the wall; there's clearance when the counter is up. I mean, if you're single, it's sweet. Those stairs are probably completely unusable if you've got kids, an SO, or roommates. At least it isn't the other fold up&out kitchen installation we see in this thread: the kitchen cabinet toilet. *: Painter's tape on the counter, super glue on top of the tape, cutting board on top of the super glue. It has enough grip for industrial machining but won't gently caress up the countertop
