I’m only 6’ or 6’ 1.5" in the work boots they made me wear, 225 lbs +/-but one of my MSP tasks had me going to the practice facility for a local football team. Being surrounded by 7’ 350 lb linebackers messed with my head for quite a while.

Some of us grew up in the PNW and hated the Sea Chickens before it was cool.

Yeah, I joined Piefed because I appreciated seeing the cross posts all on one page and the ability to tag users. As I notice more comments disappearing, I’m beginning to rethink my main instance.

Hamm’s the beer refreshing.

Ghetto nachos have their place. I prefer making them with Doritos or Hint o Lime chips.

Les Mis was this book for me, if it wasn’t obvious by my username.

I can’t wait to see what awful horror movies come from this.

My boss and I both lived 2000 miles away in Provo, Utah 25 years ago at the same time, close enough I could see his place from my apartment, but never met there that I know of.

My first stint in inpatient was at 9 after I tried to hang myself, so yeah…

The finish is called Graniteware. Popular in the 60s and still the standard finish for canning kettles

Columbo.

I had to upgrade my EdgeRouterX when I got gig fiber. I kept the Ubiquiti APs, I really like their management interface. But I replaced the router with a Mikrotik RB4011iGS+ because I thought it had a better feature set than the equivalent UBNT and was half the price.

We call that “Upper Midwest Spicy” in my house.

Living in salt country, I’ve found heat and percussion to be helpful. Hold a soldering iron to the nut for 3-5 minutes, then wail on it with a rubber mallet. Repeat a few times if needed. Usually loosens up the fastener because it dislodges the gunk in the threads.

Frigate is the next big rock on my migration to lower power hardware. How are you running it? I’m trying to move to incus but I tested it on Docker. I need to get off my my W10 blueiris install.

also does a good job of breaking down the column types.

International Residential Code R407.3 is pretty clear about the post needing to be Schedule 40, 3" in diameter. IMO, this is not code-compliant.

“The columns shall be restrained to prevent lateral displacement at the bottom end and attached to framing at the top. Wood columns shall be not less in nominal size than 4 inches by 4 inches (102 mm by 102 mm). Steel columns shall be not less than 3 inch diameter (76 mm) Schedule 40 pipe manufactured in accordance with ASTM A53 Grade B or approved equivalent.”

The column is clearly not 3" diameter, nor schedule 40. The number of missing bolts in the bottom would fail the lateral movement restriction. The IRC is almost certainly referenced by your local building code. For example, in NY it’s at https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/NYSRC2020P1 , and for Washington https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/WARC2021P1 . You should be able to find the referenced code for your state.

502.5 mentions span tables you can use to determine if the spans are compliant. I’d wager they aren’t, given the shoddy work.

Those span tables are in 602.7(1) AND 602.7(2).

I can’t remember the IRC code that says all holes must be filled, and it’s already past my bedtime. I’ll do some more searching tomorrow.

Splitting the 2x8 by not drilling a pilot hole and failure to fill all four holes in the top of the jack would likely be an instant failure by the building inspectors here.

I moved from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast and I miss the steady temperatures and near constant drizzle. Having four seasons bites.
