    I believe Joe. Even if I didn't, I'd still vote for him because Trump is far worse and is an existential threat to our nation. Everything else is pablum.

    It said 1/2", but I thought for liability purposes to do 3/4". Doesn't cost much more.

    It's a commercial building and that's what the structural engineer called for. I was curious about that as well and read on an engineering forum that the double board is required to allow for sufficient nail length (3") for the joist hangers. My engineer called for the anchors to be staggered every 12".

    Just change out the header for a thicker one or add a one-by board to the current header, wood filler to the seams, sand, and repaint the frame to blend it in.

    I'm attaching a doubled up 2x12 ledger board to a concrete foundation for a deck. I'm trying to figure out if I should use epoxy secured anchors or expansion/wedge anchors. The epoxy is pretty pricey and a slower applicattion compared to wedge anchors, but I've read online epoxy is a much stronger hold. Is the difference in hold strength worth the price and trouble?

    Anyone know of a structural engineer in the San Antonio area with reasonable fees? I'm building a smallish wood deck at my office and I need an engineer to inspect the sonotube concrete footings I'll be pouring (in person or via photos/video if allowed by their rules) and provide a letter to the city affirming their adequacy (depth, diameter, rebar support). Thanks for any suggestions.

    I want to build a covered patio onto the back of my house that is higher than the roofline of my house which is fairly low. My thought is to install a wide large capacity gutter onto the house eave and then a basically free standing patio structure that is two feet taller than the house roof. Hopefully the large gutter would divert heavy rain flows from the patio. Dumb idea?

    He's a stand-up guy.
