Supposedly LVLs and CLTs can be stronger that concrete and rebar in earthquake prone areas

Lvl is some good stuff, I used to use it for building pole barns, I've loads of barns for some of the big horse farms in KY. LVL is so heavy though, kicks my little ass.

So much cool stuff happening with timber.

@Deleted User haha thanks for posting that. I'm fixing a door and can usually find a way to get out stripped screws. Totally forgot about these

@RevStench You on the real estate server?

Cool

2017-09-20 15:49:14 UTC  

Working on a folding metal basics for today. I'm wrapping up a few jobs right now and don't have a lot of actual work, just breaking down scaffolding and doing some really minor finishing touches.

2017-09-20 22:44:20 UTC  

That last pic look sharp @RevStench !

2017-09-20 22:44:24 UTC  

Nice work

2017-09-20 22:44:55 UTC  

Thanks brother. I do my best.

2017-09-20 22:59:28 UTC  

I liked the spinal tap reference😄

2017-09-20 23:01:07 UTC  

haha I figure that these things are boring so it needed to be a little fun to read

These we're turned into leaded glass sometime in the 1850s, pretty sweet. Hamline Chapel, Lawrenceburg, IN

I restored one of these. I don't have any pictures of the sash I did. But it's the first one on the right when you go through the front door, if anyone is interested haha.

Sorry I haven't been active here. We don't really have anything fun right now, I'm busy but everything big wrapped up and we picked up a job restoring more than 40 sets of windows. So that is going to take some time. I've been breaking down windows and stripping paint for the last week.

@RevStench hey I got a decent drywall patch lesson/pics ready to go should I post here? A lot of people need to patch holes etc and it’s super easy but they don’t know how. Not carpentry but still helpful building skill

2017-10-14 02:02:53 UTC  

Drywall work is a pain!

2017-10-14 02:04:44 UTC  

It's dirty, too. I'm pretty happy I picked electrical, it's the easiest on your body.

2017-10-14 02:33:48 UTC  

Till you get lit up you mean

2017-10-14 02:34:19 UTC  

That stuff hurts

2017-10-14 03:07:12 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah bro, go ahead. I'll figure out how to move it into lessons after you finish.

2017-10-14 03:07:58 UTC  

Thanks. That's good stuff to know how to do.

2017-10-14 12:15:43 UTC  

Ok everybody. Patching some drywall with the “hot patch” method. This is only one way to do it but you don’t have to buy those kits and works just as good if you’ve got a scrap piece of drywall laying around:

That’s the hole we wanna patch. You’ll need these tools plus some drywall and mud

2017-10-14 12:18:11 UTC  

Measure the size of the hole. In this case it’s approx 3.5” the size of a coffe top

Outline around the size of the hole about an inch in every direction

Then cut out the bigger outline

Flip the piece over and draw your true patch size on The backside

2017-10-14 12:21:25 UTC  

Then cut out everything on that line. You can make straight cuts like so and fold then peel away the sheet rock leaving the paper
