Probably not directly addressing your point, but there are conservative people then "conservative" politicians.

I don't consider myself independent for what it's worth, but when talking politics with people, the ideology of being conservative is rarely supported by "conservative" or "republican" politicians. Some people can't separate the conservative voter's views from the republican candidate.

Additionally, I'd wager that most conservatives on here can find a few things they don't like about Trump, but doesn't mean you can't support him or like him as president.

Tell your friend good luck. When I put a pool in years ago the contractor was using my money to pay subs from his previous jobs. It caught up with him on my pool and the subs quit doing the work. One of the subcontractors filed a lien on my house since he never paid them for the gunite work. The $15,000 might not be all he loses if there are unpaid suncontractors. Even if work is being completed, the contractor could be guilty of not paying the subcontractors, leaving the home owner liable for payment or having a lien filed.

This is a messed up liability ladder. And I know it's true. But if you're paying the contractor, the subs should be looking for money from the GC and not the homeowner who has already paid.

I ran a small construction outfit last summer and I was adamant on not taking payment for product or services not quite rendered. Payment structure was homeowner friendly up front. First payment covered most material and a small amount of labor. Payment was due once material was delivered and the homeowner at least has that. Once a landmark was hit, the next payment was due which included the price of the remainder of the material and most of the labor. Always left 10% until job complete.

Requiring payment up front without anything to show for it is a red flag. Unfortunately it may be a $15k lesson here.

Did the sign address upper deckers at all?

Yes, it is. The past four years of Biden’s presidency will be officially be deemed illegitimate and all of his policies will be reversed.

This is what I'm rooting for, but I'll be surprised if it happens. Ketanji Brown out, and Trump gets to pick. . .

Just seeing this thread. Great work! Only thing that comes to mind you may want in there is some type of overhead lift/winch.

I designed the trusses specifically to be able to add a gantry crane in there. It's not going to lift thousands of pounds, but some of my projects seem to run into the 200 - 400 lb range which is heavy enough that I can't just lift it up easily. The welder I believe is around 400 lbs and I move it in and out of my truck frequently. So I definitely need something to move a little bit of weight in there.

With a normal I Beam design without trusses, I was afraid to suspend much weight from the ceiling. The weight transfers straight to the joint at the peak, and pushes down to the walls outward. That's why I decided to build with actual trusses.

Really wish I knew structural engineering math. The trusses I designed I believe I could suspend 4 or 5000 lbs without an issue. I don't plan to do that, but my curiosity has me wondering what the failure point is. From what I've read, it seems that engineers are more concerned with deflection, more than failure. But I still wish I knew how much weight I could support safely. I have no clue how to go about finding an engineer that would tell me what I've done. Lol.

I've been working on framing the bathroom this weekend and getting the garage door working. I screwed the rails for the door to the frame this weekend and I'm going to have to slightly adjust them now. It got too tight in a couple of areas. I'll get more pictures added this afternoon.

You mind sharing which motorcycle forum is shutting down? Is it thumpertalk by chance?

Assuming theyre trying to report on printing switches?

Guys, I can NOT fix her. Someone else will have to step up to the plate.

What could go wrong. Give unqualified illegals permission to get behind a wrecking ball of a vehicle. And I imagine that "CDL" gives them an ID to vote.

Do you know the other girls' parents. I remember my high school days and id tell my parents x and it couldn't be further from the truth some of the times. Be thankful your daughter respects you enough that she's honest with you.

And to directly answer your question no I would not be alright with that. So much that could go wrong and they dont have the life experience to know what qualifies as a threat and what doesnt.
