RE: What if all signs were designed for everyone to read?
WHAT IF ALL SIGNS WERE DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE TO READ? Totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve had the same issue - spent a weekend putting up new numbers, only to realize from the street they just looked like weird s...
RE: Digging into property easements - anyone else find online tools confusing?
Title: Digging Into Property Easements - Anyone Else Find Online Tools Confusing? Yeah, those GIS maps are a mixed bag. I’ve used them to get a rough idea, but sometimes the lines don’t even match up with what’s on the ...

RE: Just put in a new kitchen sink and wondering if anyone else struggled this much
I get what you mean about overcomplicating things in the name of going green. When I swapped out my sink, I debated push-fit vs. glue too - how do you even know if those seals will hold up after years of shoving stuff un...
RE: Building base structures - what if you had to start over?
Wonder if that'd really solve it long-term though? I mean, humidity changes seasonally, right...wouldn't reclaimed wood still shift eventually? Curious if anyone's had it installed a few years now without issues.
