May I suggest replacing the nearest trees with fire retardant car dealership inflatable waving dudes. Namaste.

cakesmith handyman posted:Dig a basement the whole house can slot down into with a solid fireproof ceiling cap. I once worked at a company that did the digital signage around football pitches, and the way fire evacuations work there (particularly after the Bradford disaster) is that all the fans need to be able to quickly get onto the pitch, tricky when there's waist-high 4" thick LED panels around three sides. There are a number of solutions to this now, but at the time Man United was the first to get them fitted, and the solution they went with was to, as you say, dig a concrete pit underneath them all so they could all be dropped at a moment's notice, and this had to be tested before every match. Did they fit a hydraulic lift to bring them back up? No, only the richest football club in the world installing £1m of hardware, why bother? To be fair they only need to go *down* in a hurry. So whenever I worked a match there I got to see an admittedly impressive tonnage of computer hardware drop 4ft into the ground, but then also got to see two guys from the club named Dave and Steve go round with a hand jack and lift them back up one by one.

Builders plasterboarded over a two-gang box and the electricians and I had to spend half an hour tracking it down when we were doing electrical signoff and one of the rings was complaining.

kastein posted:The rain is just being a severe pain in my rear end exactly when I have to be outside prepping for construction and making all the things waterproof so the rest can be worked on without being rained on. Yep, that's exactly where I am too. I wanted to get things weatherproof before October but failed, and now everything takes 10x as long. So what's the deal with the road running through your property? Is that what the easement is for? Also did you consider using a laser measure instead of tape? You'd still have to use interim markers but at least you'd only need line of sight.

Yeah it's not ideal, gotta choose between "gently caress the tape is snagged again" and "gently caress where's the loving dot".

Leperflesh posted:Ah, I can see why you're preinstalling the sheathing: it's a purely rectangular build, no angle bracing, so without the sheathing those walls would each want to rack really badly. Putting the sheathing on before you stand them means no need to add angled bits. These ones didn't much rack at all when being put up: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3824923&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=75#post520080080 Once I'd nailed them down they were happy to stand up on their own while I put the temporary stays in.

daslog posted:I have a shed without windows and it really sucks because there isn't power for lights. When the door closes on me (and it always does) it's pitch black. Then I kick it open and try to get my poo poo done in 10 seconds before it closes again. At my last house my shed had 4 smallish windows (proportional to the size of the shed as if it was a small house) and I had no problems with lighting. Maybe invest in a brick?
