Best way to fix a sketchy shed foundation?
  • Oh man, I guess I did just post and run haha. Life got in the way and I never ended up doing a proper fix. I just jacked it up a bit, and adjusted the pavers enough so that it's not resting on the wedges. Eventually I want to move it and pour some concrete posts like someone else mentioned. Hopefully I have time this fall to do this, and my "temporary" fix doesn't become permanent. The ambitious side of me wants to tear down the shed and rebuild, since it wasn't built that well, but that's probably never going to happen.

  • Big surprise!
  • I'm with you on this. It's kinda ugly, but kinda neat. If it wasn't made so shitty, wasn't a safety hazard, and wasn't associated with a nazi, I don't think it would get any more hate than any other pickup. But for looks, I'll take ugly over boring any day.

    Best way to fix a sketchy shed foundation?

    Not sure if anything is actually needed. It just looks unstable. Power is already run to the shed, so it might be difficult to move and do a full concrete pour. I was thinking of lifting with a car jack and finding a better combination of pavers to remove the wood wedges, but I'm open to any ideas. And it is on a slope, the other end is on pavers on the ground. This stack of pavers was the previous owners attempt at levelling I guess.

    Is there a best order to do gradual renovations in?

    Over the next year or so, we're looking to replace our wood floors, all the base boards, all interior & exterior doors, and door trim. Since the wife and I both work full time, we're thinking we'd focus on one at a time, and do it slowly over a few weekends and evenings. Is there an order that would make things easier? Like do floors before baseboards or vice versa? Is it even worth doing things one at a time?

    Would patching the right side or converting to a double gang w/ wall plate be better?

    No idea what the story behind this is. It's a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

    Any good resources to fix "landlord special" renovations?

    First time homeowner here. The house was previously owned by an investment firm who cut a lot of corners on renovations at some point. Does anyone have a good resource for fixing botch jobs? A lot of tutorials cover fixing or replacing things that were done properly before hand, and I don't want to spam forums with "How the he'll do I fix this monstrosity??"

    Can I hire a landscaper to design and plan but build it myself?

    My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

    Minimal Phone: Low-priced smartphone with E Ink display and complete keyboard
  • It's not a "worse" display. It's a different display. The only point is that if you want an e-ink phone (either for readability or battery life) this is one of the only options. Assuming it actually launches at least.

  • Ford electric vehicle owners can now charge on Tesla's network, but they'll need an adapter first
  • I know with the v4 tesla chargers that has the adapter built in, non-teslas couldn't use them until the manufacturers made an agreement. Maybe it's the same here? Where you can get an adapter and if your car brand has already made the deal with tesla you're good to go. Unless Ford put software in their adapter to only work on ford's.

  • Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents
  • I think it's because someone who takes enough Road trips to use something like that would properly just get a regular plug in hybrid. That being said, this might be coming soon for ev trucks actually. The dodge ram ev is going to have a gas powered range extender, and I believe ford has patented a bed mounted version for its ev truck.

  • What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
  • These still exist, for now at least. Just not any flagship phones. My Oneplus nord n30 has all of this (well idk if the fingerprint sensor is ultrasonic, it's on the side and fast though). And I'm pretty sure a lot of Motorola phones have these as well. Only downside is not the best processors or cameras, but are good enough for me at least.

  • Anon wants to play CoD
  • In a small defense of ME legendary, it is 3 different games in one package. Still Annoying, especially since storage space isn't the only factor. Internet speed can really ruin your gaming plans

  • Help finding a suitable streaming box

    Looking for recommendations on a streaming box to connect my TV to plex. I have a lot of 4k blu ray rips averaging 80-100mbps and I'm struggling to find a client that can handle it. First I had a Roku, which had network bandwidth issues. So I moved to the new fire stick 4k max, which still buffers like crazy. I don't think its network related because its pulling 500mbps down, and my laptop (which pulls 300 down) can stream it just fine. So any recommendations on a tv streaming box? I've seen the Nvidia shield, and the Mecool KM2 plus deluxe but want to get some opinions before buying anything. Thanks!

    Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers?
  • Basically all tracking is done by Google ads. It checks at start up if you have purchased ad free or not. If purchased, launch app without ad library, else launch with ads. It has to be in the code because (according to the dev) Google is cracking down on similar apps, ie a pro version and a free version. So ad library has to be included, and it just won't use it if you pay for pro
