    Cross bracing ideas for carport/shop ???

    My apologies. Too many suggestions. I'll be quiet now. This is your thread/project. It's looking good! I wish I had a shop like that. Congrats!

    Cross bracing ideas for carport/shop ???

    If you're concerned about rigidity (X-bracing) - you can move the shipping containers adjacent (against) the shop walls and weld brackets to attach the containers to the shop. The containers would provide some lateral/perpendicular rigidity to the building assembly. If you do this, you could...

    Cross bracing ideas for carport/shop ???

    Awesome pics, and great progress! Looking good.... BUT - I have concerns about the legs. I know you welded the pipes to the bottom of the truss so that it'd be taller. (Who wouldn't want a taller shop) But I'm concerned about the pipes. In short, you have a tall rigid structure (truss system)...

    28 Year Old Woman-Physically Healthy-Decides to be Euthanized Due to Crippling Depression

    I'm not calling you callous. I'm just saying depressed people need help. And I hope the help actually provides benefit. Depressed people need help - long before euthanasia is considered.

    28 Year Old Woman-Physically Healthy-Decides to be Euthanized Due to Crippling Depression

    I seriously can't believe I have to argue with other people to be sympathetic with people needing help. Yes, people with chronic depression do well to hide it. It's unfortunate when family/friends miss the signs and can't/don't intervene before it's too late. It seems callous to just dismiss...

    There is help for depression. Provide the help they need.

    Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses After Being Hit By Cargo Ship

    I find it interesting that a multi-million dollar high-tech freighter, somehow had a single point failure (of some sort) that rendered it helpless. In engineering, "single-point-failures" are typically designed out before construction. I'd like to hear more of WHAT failed and WHY?

    MS Word

    How many files? 30? 300? 3000+? (We don't need to know...) - Copy the files to thumb drive (or dvd) and take it to a friend's house. (That has Win11) - Open files and 'save-as' older word file type. - Move the converted files (older file type) back to thumb drive. - Open using other word...

    Trailer tires

    Google is your friend and foe. There are 100's of RV articles on this exact topic. Most articles recommend 10-12 ply heavy duty truck tires for more load capacity. Others disagree. Good luck. You've open up a can-o-worms. (...Getting popcorn for the show...)

    Trailer tires

    Honest question, Other then the number of plies, what's the difference? 10-12 ply being best, in my head... More plies = more load capacity, typically.

    Well it is totaled.

    Holy smokes, you're going the long mile to fix up a car to sell to Rick. ...you got anything else for sale? : ) (humor)

    PLEASE let Rick's wife drive you home! That'd be another entertaining thread!! :)

    Proposed NY Law Would Hand Perps Leaving Prison $2,600($400+ - 6 months)

    I'd be ok with this idea. It's $400 per month for 6 months. It's barely enough to get rent and food. This is effectively a small step to keep them from being homeless. Getting a job while homeless is very difficult, so this help to avoid that problem. Desperate people do desperate things. This...

    Have we seen the demolition derby winner yet? I'm curious of the actual damage. (Pics) ....of Rick's car, to be clear.
