Moving my dad's shed. (Advice? Roll on pipes? Furniture dollies?)

[freebeard]

Loaning a short woman a car failed spectacularly. Who saw that coming?

[raises hand]

She hasn't yet turned the little ones against you?

#97 and #98 are consistent (that was called a California Corner when I was carpentering). #99 sounds like a different thread, what happened between 7:42 and 8:12AM?

[Xist]

It was a calculated risk, but oh boy, did I not have complete data!

You said that California corners were 4x4s! Now you are changing your story?!

Why am I not surprised?!

I looked up your California corner comment, but didn't mention it, because it didn't seem important, but I did originally write that to try to make a California corner out of it now I would need to put a 4x4 on top of the 2x4 and then put a 2x4 on the other side.

That seems like too much work.

I don't want to float an inside corner. Drywall is fragile as it is. I don't want to bump the corner and break off the edge of the wall.

I could do this with a little less wood, but it would seem like more work, although I just think there would be excessive conduction in the corners:


Around 08 I realized it snowed and why would I let snow melt into the tent storing the stuff from the shed?

And you can take the 4 stud corner, remove the middle stud from the 3 stud sandwich for a Fresno corner

Or a strip of scrap plywood instead of the drywall clips

If you hit your drywall hard enough to break the floated corner, you're rebuilding the whole corner anyways

What did this have to do with saving my laptop?!

I actually didn't dig deep enough to find your comment. I found what I said about your comment.

Congratulations I played telephone with myself.

I saw diagrams like that, but didn't notice the drywall clip.

I also saw this, which is apparently called "conventional:"

[Is this the Fresno corner? When I tried to search for it Google asked "Did you mean Fresno coroner?" When I added "Framing" I received few results, and all of them were bad]

Apparently that fell out of favor because it is difficult to insulate that gap, but 4-stud corners are just fine, and you can totally insulate behind a 2-stud corner!

Do you squish insulation in there?

All of those allow 2" foamboard, which may have the same r-value of 3.5" fiberglass insulation.

New plan! I leave the insulation, install one additional 2x4 in each corner, and invest in these newfangled "Drywall clips!"

Thanks, Frank Lee!

Fresno is a San Joaquin slang term for doing just enough to get by in the easiest and fastest possible way. Your last picture works only if you overlap the mud plate

[freebeard]

Thanx. My best guess is that at the time I was thinking about sidng but no sheet rock.

Your 'conventional' is the 4-stud corner at #103. It requires blocking between the paired studs.

Hey, this isn't where I had written about cutting the nails that had gone through the 2×4 I removed!

Stay on topic, people!

The dremel wasn't up to cutting nails and I was late getting back from Harbor Freight, but I took the time to buy a long $3 pry bar, and my brother wanted a small pickaxe.

That is cool, right? Buying him a pickaxe?

I saw my client, forgot that I was supposed to make up yesterday's client (they forgot, too), and I finally set up my DS Logon (Department of Defense Self-Service Logon).

Who writes Logon, one word?

I downloaded all kinds of documents, like my discharge paperwork from Active Duty, but for some reason there wasn't one for the Guard.

I have only accessed the VA the way I had a couple of times, but it beat playing phone tag.

For some reason that will be disabled in less than a week, but I will be able to use my SD Logon.

I uploaded my DD214 and when Home Depot approved it, I ordered new panels for the greenhouse, which needs a number of repairs.

Uh, how old is it?

I found my head lamp and face shield and nipped most of the nails, which was challenging because there were usually two close together.

I will go back with pliers tomorrow and bend the one in the front.
There was a nail going through the front, which was covered by the trim, but maybe I will remove the trim, plane it, prime, and paint.

Maybe I should just bend one nail out of the way, nip it, and then nip the other.

I haven't even mentioned painting the shed!

I think that I will use a jack to force the new board on the nail stubs. Everyone says that the only way to make them flush is to grind them, but that MDF is already pretty damaged.

I need to find the wire brush, clean the next couple feet of the back, screw in temporary boards, jack up the rear, remove the rotten boards, tap up the nails, clamp the new boards in place, screw them from the inside, remove the temporary boards, lower the back, uncover the drywall, and if it is good, install the first two boards.

Hopefully at least two boards are good!

It has a simple roof, but the rafters have two angles, so I need to cut thin strips to go between the full boards on the sides and the ceiling, and then three sets of ceiling boards.

I think that I will put the rest of the good drywall in the shed and give Mom her compost heap back.

Crazy idea - you could start a thread called "The life of Xist" instead of scattering your life story over dozens of threads.

[Xist]

More like the so-called life of Xist.

I mentioned starting a YouTube channel and Metro said "Watch Xist Go! I would watch that!"

I replied "More like Watch Xist Struggle."
