  1. Worried about supporting total weight - we will still need to use the space above the room as storage. Rather safe than sorry, esp since there's no incremental labor cost (just my sweat). Also, the inside wall (not pictured) needs a ledger board anyway - it's vertical plywood as the outside of the existing house envelope. I'll support the ledgerboard with flat-mounted 2x4's. The space between the 2x4's is actually perfect for sound dampening material, so win-win.
  2. Going to put in new bracing for the ceiling; ledger boards on both walls supported by new studs.
  3. Appreciate the insight here, all. I'll probably have someone come look at it; drt mind dropping me a PM with your guys' number? I'm actually more interested at this point in making sure it's done right, since I"m finishing out that space it just makes it harder to fix something in the future. Onboard, you've got the right plan; I've got no issues furring around it when the time comes, just wanted to see what my options are.
  4. I mean, there's a reason I'm asking questions before I do anything ...
  5. Home construction question for the group. I'm starting a project to finish out part of our walk-in attic space - home theater and golf simulator room woot. The space is above the garage, and has a high roof line situation (about ~16-17'). I'm going to be putting in a ceiling around 11-12' depending on final height requirements for the golf sim (and golf swing). There's a single front-facing window, above which is an interesting brace - pictures below. The brace runs vertically, and attaches to the front wall as well as the center roof beam. I *think* this is a sort of anti-sway or anti-torque bracing for when the house was still mid-frame, and possibly not needed anymore (I can move the low-voltage wiring with ease). Two questions: 1. Do you agree or disagree with my diagnosis? 2. I'd like to either remove it, or relocate it, as the bottom is in the way of where I want the eventual ceiling to be. I'm happy to replace it higher up if it's serving a current functional purpose. Thoughts?
  6. Physically how did you do the buffing? By hand? Rotary sander with the lambswool attachment? Other? I'm somewhat ashamed to admit this, but I've literally never waxed a car in my life. Now that we have a brand-new-off-the-line tesla, I'd like to change that. (BTW this tesla is scary fast).

  9. CL listing here - https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-hamilton-intra-matic-38mm-black/7158112892.html. $325 on surly.
  10. The watch thread is full of clearly higher-quality posters :). That's a typo ... I'll do $1100 here as well.
  11. Selling my Sinn EZM3 finally. It just doesn't get worn at all. I love this watch - comfortable, stylish, definitely not well-known, and incredible quality. Listing here https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-sinn-ezm3-watch/7158102615.html. Would do $1100 for one of you fine horologists on this thread. I'll ship it if you want, you pay shipping + insurance.

  13. SOLAT (the tempo from unplugged serves the song better than the studio cut) Alive/Once/Footsteps Elderly Woman Do the Evolution / Brain of J (Yield is their most complete album .. has the rock anthem tracks a'la Ten, and the artistic reach tracks a'la Vitology/Binaural). Rearviewmirror (.Vs is a tight, tight album altogether tho) -
  14. Happy to deliver it to you (if in Austin) for $70 if you want to return yours lol ... hardest way to make $5 in the history of the world Worth checking - did you buy a full HD (1920x1080) or an Ultrasharp (1920x1200)? This one is the latter ... doesn't seem like much, but it lets you get more information on the screen. Just a thought. Delivery offer stands.
  15. strangely, none. Bit of an older model, and certainly business-centric. One vga, one dvi-d, and one displayport.
  16. This one -https://www.dell.com/is/business/p/dell-u2412m/pd. Cosmetically and functionally perfect. Comes with power cable, no VGA or HDMI cables tho. Located in Austin. Cash only.
  17. Respectfully, I think you're misreading that webpage. The second one you posted is ~$230. That said, this is still the winning idea. I'm currently leaning towards this one from amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Reelcraft-TB-05-Tool-Balancer-5-Pound/dp/B002CVTKK6?th=1.
  18. For various reasons, moving the car to park in a different section of the garage isn't our preferred option. The main breaker box is on the outside wall of the garage, so the charger could go anywhere along one wall, or anywhere along the back wall. We've thought it through and this is the preferred solution, taking everything into account.
  19. Oh damn ... I like this. Thanks! Edit: Dang, the cheap one you linked only has a half-meter of cable. I need ~3 (10' ceilings).
  20. Yeah. I don't want to put the cord on a reel. I want it to drape on the ceiling, and just pull it down to the car when I need it.
