Last post by Dan_Shade - Today at 10:33:53 AMDo you need structural support or only need to hold them in place?

General Board / A nice working day
Last post by thecfarm - Today at 10:21:06 AM66° and some wind and some sun.
Maybe 75 for a high.
Not a great swimming day but a great day to get things done.

The Outdoor Board / Re: WV Bluegills
Last post by caveman - Today at 10:01:30 AMI was just going to mention that I don't like freezing fish that have fins due to them poking holes in the bags and then getting air in the bags. Every one of my fishing friends used to have the wire creel baskets, but I have not seen one in years. When we used to catch a lot of blue gills, we'd use tablespoons to scale them with-two or three scrapes down each side and they were done.
I'm glad you took the time to tow the other angle in. Being dead in the water is not a pleasant experience, paying a tow bill just makes it worse. JMoore, another friend and I had a $975 tow bill one stormy night in May, 1996 out in the Gulf. It turned out that a bucket handle in the console shorted out the starter switch. I keep tow insurance now.
It's sure fun to catch fish with grandchildren or children. That type of fishing will help you develop the patience needed to guide golfers on fishing trips. I'm glad y'all caught them.

The Outdoor Board / Re: It's Snapper Time!
Last post by caveman - Today at 09:44:32 AMThe weather was too unstable for me to run offshore this morning. My youngest daughter's boyfriend and I went out. We headed to net bait around 5:45. My youngest daughter and grandson did not get up in time to go. We chummed with tropical fish food for 10-15 minutes and then I through my 10' 3/8" mesh bait net twice and we had hundreds of pilchards (whitebait).
Rather than run offshore, we messed around on the flats until the rain and lightning convinced me to head back to the dock. Looking at the radar, I thought we would have a window of relatively decent weather until around 11 a.m., but that did not happen.
The pic is looking across the bay towards the Gulf.

Last post by Andries - Today at 09:43:08 AMInteresting, and you've certainly done your part to send it around the country 545 times.

Last post by Ljohnsaw - Today at 09:42:40 AMDoc, my plans signed off by Fire Tower (Ben) out of Roade Island.
My engineer patiently explained the code to me. A 16d nail is .162" x 3.5". It must project into the joists 10 times the diameter or 1.62". My boards are 1-13/16" (1.8125") thick. So a 3" fastener won't work. I got a screaming deal on #9 3" screws that are not returnable and are both too short and too thin.
I made a custom barn for my late wide back in the early '90s. I used something north of 15,000 Philips head screws in that.
Doug, I'll probably use a hydraulic shop stool to sit on. Since you don't have to exert the same force as Philips head with star, that should work.
Granite,Brucer & Resonator, I'll take a look.
Thanks all.

Last post by Resonator - Today at 09:41:16 AMAnother source to check would be Fastenal, they have hundreds of different types of screws.
