  1. Me, trying to remember the combo for this trigger lock. Is obviously not opening.

    Wife: "Can't you just reset it? Those codes can be changed, right?"

    Me: "I have to unlock it 1st."

    Her: "But why not just reset it?"2f6d1b9e7b39b426d1f705dfa87abfd7.jpg

     it does take a special kind of idiot male officer to frisk a handcuffed woman. 

    If a female officer was unavailable prior to placing her in the police vehicle, then yes - a frisk right then & there is required.  Hell, a frisk the very moment they intend to arrest her is required, cuffs or not.

  3. Sending you a PM... While I'm not a GC, I can refer 2 (one of them used to post on Shag but he's been too busy to get all Surlied up).

    One thing I'm good for in this regard is to let you know what kind of bullshit the architect has in store for you when the roof layout was designed.

  4. Different vehicle, '07 Tahoe.  Getting click-no-start issues from the battery.  Buddy says "sure, get under there on a 100 degree day & monkey with the starter (possible solenoid issue)".  Tested the battery last night, was low - not a single thing in this vehicle has changed that would start a battery drain.  Did start with a jump from my truck.

    Electrical issues are always fun!

    Man, 24"  roof rafter spans.....  Eventually you may see nice little divet/swales form between the rafter spans, and typically a ridge beam, with what looks like an LVL (laminated veneer beam) is 2 members not one with (2) 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 support posts at each end.

    I see H clips, so not really much of a concern.  We get roofs with yips & dips occasionally, however a Dimensional / Architectural shingle will absorb that whereas a 3Tab will let all of that "show through" much more easily.  The most common issue is a lift where the staples (not usually nails) didn't hit the truss well enough & eventually a lift shows.  If the topside view appears to be a max. 4' run, then for sure it's the missed staples.

    @capnamerca, are you gonna get that decking foam sprayed before finishing it out?  My #1 problem with that type of rat line is it prevents the installation of a ridge vent.

    Now in the market for a hot tub.  Looking at a QCA brand.  I think it's regional to where I am.  This model runs about $8K:

    Still an acrylic, no matter what "patented" it is.  As to "maintenance free cabinet", what's the material made of?

    Did you ever address why you left several inches of the stump as opposed to cutting it off as close to the ground as possible?  Seems like cutting it as close to flush as possible and then drilling down to administer whatever poison you want would be more effective than what you have done. 

    Yeah, what @Judge Roybeanbag said.  If I do decide to pull them, I want to get some purchase.

  8. Damn thing is growing out again. Took these pics today.

    Last pic is of the Hack on the L, it seems to be more stunted.

    Cleaning out the garage, I found some rando chemical designed for killing weeds in a driveway, sidewalk, fence lines, etc.

    Think I am gonna use a spade / paddle bit, bore down with a larger hole & see how the fucker handles this stuff.0c5428beeee791db98783c464ea38c3c.jpg62c68f6e6704b18c74a621bd8b2a906a.jpgb42be02f3eb1bbba82f3ee1461e18ebb.jpg

    Yeah, the secret to all of the belt hassle is to turn the belt sideways & fish it in the [barely able to fit] space between the tension pulley & the block.  I've done this belt 2x & my buddy who assisted me on those projects kept insisting the only way to get it is to loosen the bolts on the alternator, then wrench the tension pulley AND reset the alternator.

     

    The magic is that sideways thing.  When I 1st did this with a pump replacement back 5-1/2 years ago, I was stuck in the parking lot of an AutoZone in Burleson with 2 other rando guys trying to help me - total strangers who did their best & in the end, we (again) did the alternator off thing.
