    Who wants to see some real Missouri construction? Not sure if I should put in the Funny Pictures thread though.

    What you are looking at is a gable wall that was blown in by the wind. Things of note: There is NO SHEATHING! The 2x4s are notched and nailed to the rafter with two nails each. 1" ISO board is secured to the 2x4s and then vinyl siding. That's it. It's like building code is a dirty word down here. Today I was on a $600,000+ house (so an easy 1.5 mil in Denver) and they didn't even run the felt under the singles all the way to the eaves. A good 12" short. Ridiculous.



    ETA: I just assumed that the house in the picture was built in the 30's or 40's or something. Nope. 1990's new construction, meaning, the part your looking at isn't some DIY add on or anything.

    Got a mask in the mail from my sister that she made. It's awesome. Reversible so I can wash and wear the other way for some variety, but I like the camo side out. Fits really well, has a wire to conform at the nose, and the adjustable elastic for the ears works great too. Scheduled as soon as I could for the local joint where I get my hair cut. Earliest I could get in was the 21st. I'm thinking that I'll go pretty short since the length of my hair is driving me nuts and I'm not sure how soon I'll get in again for my next cut.

    Yeah, the club shoots were nice back in the day. Got to meet good folks and shoot some fun guns.

    You're required to wear a mask to patronize a business?

    Yep. The Gov is mandating for barber shops/salons. Costco is also mandating company-wide, which has resulted in some calls for boycotts.

    Most of the people I see wearing masks are 'doing it wrong' and constantly re-adjusting, including grabbing the mask by the outside. I can understand why they were determined to be ineffective for the public, but it's Coronavirus-Theater. "We're doing something."

    Protect those at risk and as for the rest of us, let the chips fall where they may, IMHO. Life throws this crap at us and we have immune systems for a reason.

    Was there a recently started video thread that got deleted? I was trying to find a thread called something like “this guy gets it” to show to a coworker but can’t find it now.

    Ah, never mind, my post count just answered my question.

    I believe so as it's no longer available. Pre-cog
