Mitch, If you do it to your house I highly suggest the hidden fasteners! There a pain in the tail feathers but no screws are seen, just a flat deck ....

@Mitch Pearrow SJMP is that any harder to work with than pressure treated? I want to do some stuff at the cabin, but being in the middle of the forest I have a lot of carpenter ants to deal with.

It’s a plastic composite, no wood in it at all, they have a special blade to use on it , so you don’t gum up , and dull your regular blades, it’s heavy and slick, and we use screws no nails, and from what I have seen it’s quite durable.
Cheers

I have done the hidden fasteners before, we use the cortex screws and plugs, the finish is still quite pleasing to the untrained eye ..

Here is a pic of the cluttered deck on the other side of what we did on Saturday, this was done about 8-9 months ago, once the door guy installs the window and door, we will do the 1x6 on the furr wall

Yes, and the new window is going to be on hydraulic lifts, to open full horizontal, from the kitchen,
To be used as a pass thru..
Good eye Don

The pass through is a cool idea using the window.

So, I'm hooking up the supply line on my dishwasher. I have a brass 90 degree fitting going into a brass fitting on the washer's inlet valve. I just put the gooey liquid pipe dope on the fitting. How long should I let that sit up before I turn the water back on?

Seems like a perfectly good old dude question.

As soon as you finish tightening it

Is it not reasonable to assume that once my East Coast peeps start dozing off that my West Coast homies are going to pick up the slack?

I'm still around

Just got done watching bbq channels on YouTube and I'll probably continue watching the Sopranos shortly. I've never bothered to see it before so I thought I'd check it out

Just because it’s lunch time where you are….. only reason I’m up is because I had two four legged fur babies that made me take them out. FYI….. at 5:00 AM my time, that’s before sunrise.

Especially if you have to use your phone as hotspot to get your computer internet... even if it's only for a few minutes. Been there more than once, not pretty!
