mipadaitu , to Home Improvement in How would you lay the floor in this case?

#1 - What direction are the floor joists running, you would typically run perpendicular to the joists to minimize waviness on the floor.

#2 - You would typically run it longways past the door, so the sun shining in doesn't go along the board length.

#3 - There's really no WRONG way to do this, because the LVP flooring doesn't have much structure to it, and it'll just follow the contouring of the subfloor. So whatever way you think looks best, go for it.

#4 - If the walls are really out of square, you can also go at a 45 degree angle to hide that. It'll use up a LOT more flooring, but it also looks pretty cool when it's all done.

edit: Picture #2 would be the more "right" way to do it, but again, if that's not what you like, then it's up to you. Also, not sure if this was just the way you are demonstrating, but you're also going to want to have a little more randomness in the board ends, don't have them alternate in a pattern like you have it.

Agreed

Fucking awesome. Super jelly.

There's tons of great ones out there, but the ones who really take the time to do it right are usually self-employed. That means they're hard to find unless you know someone who used them before, and can squeeze into their overbooked schedule.

Most of the ones who work for companies have to work faster and cheaper in order to move on to the next project.

It's just tricky to build up a network of folks that really know what they are doing, and can fit you in when you just need a small project.

Here too. Every other outlet in my house was wired backwards, and about a quarter of my outlets had a ground running to the box, but cut short and not connected to anything. I had to splice in so many grounds (really not the best solution, but the alternative was putting in a whole new run)

Go look carefully at the rest of the drywall in your house. I bet you'll find similar spots that the original professionals did.

mipadaitu , to Work Reform in Aubrey Plaza says what all the interns want to say #aubreyplaza #memes #intern #internships - YouTube

Pretty decent movie, the plot was a little better than average, but the acting in it was great.

mipadaitu , to Home Improvement in Talk me out of an 18" dishwasher. (or into it)

If it was me, I’d go with a cabinet install that allows for a 24" dishwasher. That’s the standard size, and you might have trouble replacing a broken 18" dishwasher in the future.

Finally, the darker, gritter star trek we’ve all been waiting for. So sick of positive hopeful views of the future.

Since I don’t see it mentioned anywhere, it looks like the abbreviation ST is for the Short Treks.

Whoa, how did I miss a new Technology Connections yesterday???

EDIT: Wait, is this a patreon only link? Probably shouldn’t share this publicly.

Are you getting this work inspected by anyone?

That work, while precise, would not meet code where I live.

mipadaitu , to Work Reform in The end of workplace loyalty: Why work feels so broken right now — and how it can be repaired

Those disgruntled people in this thread. I suggest you read the article. The first thing it talks about is how companies started outsourcing and treating employees as replaceable, and employees were slow to respond at first, so companies just kept pushing until they finally fucked around enough to find out that they caused this mess.

It’s a pretty good article, and argues that the employers need to step up and start showing real leadership, instead of chasing the lowest contract, and single quarter vision.
