My Accord fell off of my jackstands.

The metal supplier says they cut metal, but the guy on the phone said they didn't have the equipment.

Home Depot advertises 12" square steel plates that are 19/32" thick, but it calls them 16 gauge.

Sixteen gauge is 1/16" thick.

My Accord moves, but I need to install my Camry radiator in order to move that car.

Use concrete blocks and lumber scraps.

Which concrete blocks are supposed to be able to withstand an uneven load?

I once crushed a cinder block, so not that.

Pier blocks.

I vaguely remembered something from our shed discussions.

Except I put Mom's shed on cinder blocks.

I am not too worried, I have something like 10 on each side.

However, I bought 9 or so to build that wheelchair ramp.

What is the correct way of saying "I am sorry your mom died. Are you using those concrete blocks?"

Pier blocks are solid and made with denser and stronger concrete than cinder blocks?

[freebeard]

Cinder blocks are anisotropic, they are stronger in one orientation than another. A pier block is a frustum -- a truncated pyramid or battered cube. They can be had plain or with tabs bolts or slots in the top.

What is the correct way of saying "I am sorry your mom died. Are you using those concrete blocks?"

"Sorrowful for your loss, not my fault. She has no pier, I'm taking it."

glad you are OK. you don't need pressure treated wood, any 2x8 or 2x10 scrap will do to spread out the load, at least for an accord.

Thanks!

I straightened the core support some more and tried to reassemble everything, but the pieces still don't line up, and when I pushed them together and tried to fasten the bolt I seemed to mess up the bolt and bolt hole twice.

The crazy thing is the second time was on the good side, and just connected the intake.

The plastic intake lined up with the bolt hole, so what did I do wrong?

Hopefully a thread chaser will remedy this.

I found my spill-proof funnel and am watching my car dink deadly Mountain Dew.

Arguably I should top off the transmission, too, although I am not too worried about driving 1.5 miles.

On the other hand, do I need more transmission problems?

I am supposed to make that hour commute tomorrow. I haven't made any progress with my Accord, but I can move it to the driveway once I drop off my Camry at the shop!

The friend who pointed out that I wouldn't have gotten in a wreck in this car had I just stayed home didn't see the problem with borrowing Mom's car for 5.5 hours.

The families of 3 clients agreed to reschedule, but one then dropped me, claiming I was inconsistent.

Had they said "Come now or we will drop you" I would have borrowed Mom's car or even tried to rent one, but as usual they acted like everything was okay and then dropped me without warning.

The sad thing I don't think anyone else sees clients there, so they decided to discontinue all speech therapy.

In order to see those 2 clients I need to drive up, see a teleclient from my car, and then see those clients before driving home.

Do I ask Mom to borrow her car for 5 hours?

Do I top off the ATF, reinstall the headlight, install the splash shields from the junkyard, and drive this car?

Do I do something else?

The last time I tried to drive this car out there my splash shields suddenly detached on the highway and my clients had coronavirus.

The last time I drove my Accord she died.

I could drop off my Toyota when crazy J opens his shop, but if I drive her tomorrow I cannot drop off my car until Friday.

Do I do something else?

I used concrete blocks for 20 years and never had a failure.
If the ground is less than ideal, concrete blocks and wood all the way. The lowest rated concrete block is supposed to be able to take a 100,000lb load.
I have had jack stands start to sink, tilt, shift, settle. Concrete blocks dont.
