Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Do It Yourself@beehaw.org•Can someone tell me if my plan is good or not?3·2 days agoHow much shorter depends on a lot, like moisture content, ground composition, stuff like that so I couldn’t say with any precision but I’ve seen PT wood rot to disintegration in less than a couple years. You could just kick the top of the piece and it just crumbled.
There’s options for you if you’re set on burying wood-type construction. Take a look at PVC or trex-style decking planks and see if you can design at least your uprights, corners and bottom boards in that material then if you want(for cost, probably) switch to wood when you’re a foot off the ground.
Regarding your stone, I understand the moss is a part of your wanted design and I think you can build it in a manner that you could use it. Like I said, just do your best to keep gaps to a minimum and pack as tightly as you can.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Do It Yourself@beehaw.org•Can someone tell me if my plan is good or not?3·2 days agoCan you share your schematic?
Burying wood 2x4(even GC-rated PT) will shorten it’s life by a whole lot. If at all possible, I’d alter your boxes to have something like stone, concrete or synthetic for the ground contact and use cheaper wood once you’ve made it above ground.
Regarding the flagstone, usually there’s a lot of prep that goes into laying stone, including digging down some inches, and using some substrates that are tamped/packed in before placing the stone. Then you’ll usually like a sand or similar in between the stone to key or lock it all into place.
That’s not to say you can’t do it the way you’re describing but be prepared for some challenges in maintaining afterward if they shift or sink.

From Punkt FAQ: Verizon: not supported/not supported
Sadly, that keeps a ton of people from using the phone. In many rural areas, VZW is the only coverage that they can get.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What is the catch with Epic Games' free games?10·2 days ago"developers see sales increases on both the Epic Games Store and on Steam, Valve’s competing PC game store. Sweeney also points out that the free games can be a good deal for players in developing countries where gaming may be more expensive, meaning that they help expand the global reach of some titles. And since developers get a flat fee from Epic so that Epic can offer their game for free, they make some money no matter what.
Epic isn’t being entirely altruistic, of course. The company spends a lot of money to be able to give games away for free, and it certainly wants to offer good ones that keep people playing on its platform instead of others like Steam. And if Epic can attract players with free games from notable developers, those same players might also try out some of Epic’s big free-to-play multiplayer games like Fortnite or Rocket League, keeping them in Epic’s universe — and, again, off Steam.

The move could lower CPMs but potentially hurt performance.
Not-surprisingly absent from the statement; will likely ostracize users.
I can’t find anything at all regarding discussion, study or opinions on the question but I can tell you that it depends on the person and most likely, they’re experience in working at leveling/setting plumb.
Having used levels(spirit, laser, etc.) for decades, I can set an object like a stud, header or a picture for my wife and often don’t need to move it after checking with a level but my wife will often notice that a group of items aren’t leveled the same on a wall but she won’t be sure which one is off. There will usually be a few adjustments to all of them before she’s happy.

Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto ShowerThoughts@sh.itjust.works•"With all due respect" is a double-insult.3·2 days agoWith all due respect, I feel as if there wasn’t another insult in the statement, then “with all due respect” was no longer an insult, making the entire statement insult-free. Of course, I could be wrong.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto ShowerThoughts@sh.itjust.works•"With all due respect" is a double-insult.3·2 days agoNo offense but I disagree with your statement, regardless of how well it was thought out.
I’m not sure I would say “almost in” Les stated that it was very clear to everyone at the audition that he wasn’t a good fit.
“In 2005, Claypool was asked about his audition. “I can’t really remember what songs we played, but I didn’t fit in, that was really obvious,” he told BP. “I believe Lars said. ‘You’re not really used to this kind of music, are you?’ My first response was, goddamn, this is loud! And then I asked them if they wanted to jam on an Isley Brothers tune, just as a joke. which they didn’t think was very funny.””

Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When do you finally calm down after buying a house?9·3 days agoI agree, we had the option to sue the seller but the reality is, even if we spend a ton of money to take him to court, there’s no guaranteed payment at the end. We decided to focus on fixing the problem rather than try to get compensation from them.
There is absolutely no system in place to protect people from something like this. The inspector didn’t find it, the realty attorneys didn’t find it, the realtors didn’t find it. We only found out about it when pulling a permit for a deck.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When do you finally calm down after buying a house?44·3 days agoThe timeframe all depends on the house. Over the last 30 years, we’ve bought three homes. The first one was an absolute breeze and never caused us heartache. The second one, was a bit of a troublemaker but we just worked our way from room to room, rehabbing the entire house a little bit at a time.
This last one has been a nightmare for the 4 years we’ve owned it. We’ve blown through our savings and still don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Without going into needless detail, on top of a qualified home inspector, I would suggest going to the city/county permitting office to make sure permits were pulled for anything that’s been recently done. In our case, the the biggest issue with this property was that apartment over garage was done illegally and we had to completely gut and start over. Unfortunately, the entire reason we picked this house was for that apartment as it was for our daughter to live in.
My intention isn’t to scare you but just be sure to perform due diligence and don’t be afraid to further investigate potential issues.

Without context, the image isn’t that impressive. If nothing XP-related actually works and it’s just a display exercise, it’s just a 20-something year old skin import.
If absolutely everything works in the manner XP worked, then it’s incredibly impressive.
Sure, I host my sites and mail. I have for three decades, roughly.
