I need to build something like this as a screen since our deck towers over our neighbors yards on both sides. How is that attached to the deck?

I used these and ran bolts through the deck...

How stable are these? I’m planning a roof over my firewood area but wasn’t sure how stable these things are just going into 2x4’s

Side to side it is a rock, but because I just have the two uprights, I wouldn't suggest going full trapeze off of it front to back, but she seems pretty solid overall. Some flex if you grab it and push and pull hard but nothing I am worried the wind or anything will cause any problems. I have it right up against the railing too so it can only move so much even if it does flex. If you were doing 4 post uprights and brace the tops corners I am sure it would be super stable.

It's a clever blend of not 7/64" and not 9/64" but still not 3mm either.

Um... So you haven't tried 1/8" then? because 1/8=3.125mm not 3mm

That’s funny! Nice catch.

Ha!
Yeah, I've tried fucking everything. The fact is it's supposed to be 7/64" and either their tolerances are off, or those of my multiple hex keys are off, or most likely both.
So the 7/64" sort of works, but not very well. So I can't get it very tight. I tried a tiny drop of Loctite last time, but I thinki might go bigger next time.

Hah, I was just bugging ya about the obvious. Tekton makes some fairly dimensionally accurate ones - but Chinese setscrews are all over these days.

[suntan]

Moen has a proprietary hex size don't they? I had the same problem with the ones in my house when I was replacing the cartridges. Then the chrome started flaking off so I replaced them and then smashed the faucets to bits.

[suntan]

Replaced the dishwasher. Wanted a Miele but way too much money.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Bosch ?
I believe they do that red light at floor.

[suntan]

Yup. 800 series to replace a 500 series, as there’s no 500 series left on earth apparently.

44 vs 39 dB, the 800 is actually quite a bit quieter.

[ExtraSlow]

Dishwasher envy, it's real, I now know firsthand.

[Ekliptix]

Wasted 7 hours painting orange racking grey. Got the garage partially organized, stuff of the ground at least.

[ShermanEF9]

Ran cat6 cabling for some devices in the house as well as installing new cameras. Very happy with the result. These are the cameras in the dark.


and in light.

Looks like we have an overachiever on our hands

Taking down a 40 foot spruce today. Watching him scale the tree and doing his thing from my doorbell cam while I’m in the office is pretty neat


Would highly recommend Bogdan’s Tree Service if you want a tree taken down. Amazing pricing compared to others that quoted me

[bjstare]

@sabad66 mind sharing the cost? I have a spruce at least that big in my front yard, and I hate it.
