    Swiss Army Knives

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the answer. I was afraid I came of a bit of a smart a&% after I read my comment, but I was actually serious. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Swiss Army Knives

    Being Swiss, are they simply "Army Knives"? Or do you actually call them Swiss Army Knives. I've always wondered about that. And do they just call it "food" in China... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    kitchen cutlery...yeah it's a tool

    We have a 10 pc Cutco set, plus 8 Cutco steak knives. That being said, I use, almost exclusively, my 7" Victorinox Santoku knife. I love it. Balanced, holds an edge, just easy to use. I can't get the Cutco stuff to take an edge, let alone keep one. It feels like I'm trying to sharpen a piece...

    Steel security door input wanted

    If you go with a commercial-style hollow metal door and frame, get security hinges with tabs and/or non-removable pins. Tabs will prevent forcing the hinge side if the pins are removed. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Metal door knock down frame versus welded

    For fire-rated, the drywall must go 1" behind the frame, not butted against. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    personnel door overhang

    I stand corrected. I should have re-read the O.P.'s post before I attempted to help. My explanation of the shelf still stands. I apologize for not noticing the date of the question. I got caught up in reading the recent replies, and didn't realize it was a resurrected thread. Maybe we should...

    personnel door overhang

    The OP wanted a shelf to set packages down while fumbling for keys. Bill is suggesting mounting one on the wall built to block wind driven rain and snow. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Parking assistance- but sides not front

    My guess is she is scraping the side of the car on the inside of the turn? Similar to watching people try to park in a painted space at the mall, where they get super close to the car in the adjacent spot? People just aim for where they want to end with no thought in the set-up. Teach her to...

    Load bearing of all thread

    I think I missed something. Is the loft connected to the post, or does the post pass through the loft floor and continue to the framing above? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Terrible Radio Signal

    Yep. I call them every year. They cut the bill in half when you tell them to turn it off. This year I even got a free Amazon Dot spy device! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    How to extend a 10’ pole saw

    I like the idea of a counterweight on the end. It will help with control, for sure. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Which kneeling pad to get?

    A piece of cardboard? A carpet scrap? Really, it's not an engineered piece. Anything more than .5-1in messes with your body's geometry. Really thick, dense padding lifts you up instead of just proving cushion. This changes your leverage, which adds stress to other parts that can't adjust as...

    X Diagonal Brace in ceiling

    I could be wrong, but it looks like the only purpose they served was holding the walls square before the roof was decked. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    RV 30 amp direct burial temp service

    Yeah, sorry about my response. After you responded to Brewchief I should have stopped reading, but I figured I may learn something if I continue. When it appeared that you should future proof it in case you want to open a campground, I couldn't take it anymore. Good luck with your build! Sent...

    Would a little extra height for the countertop/bench be helpful? If so, build a platform to set the cabinets on that allows them to be placed against the wall. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Circuit plan & sub-panel recommendation

    Re: Circuit plan & sub-panel recommendation I guess I misspoke- I wasn't trying to be a smart ***. I meant you didn't have bedroom circuits listed for outlets. Good call on the electrician, I guess. I hope it all works out for you! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
