I want to place a couple of mirrors outside the house to direct some sunlight to the windows, which will make it easier to cope with the soul-crushing overcast winters here in Melbourne, Australia.
In order to remain focused on a window, the position of the mirror would have to change to compens...
@Aaron bootstrap is more of a front end style / layout system - you can do this in strait up jquery - stackoverflow.com/questions/5293041/… - jquery is usually used along side bootstrap...
@Tester101 i dont think its a bad question though - hes trying to build something to provide more sunlight into the house - not sure its the most efficient way to do it - they have those tubes that you can run from the roof into a ceiling - that might be a better option
realized it was a dumb question as drywall doesn't have much r-value
my family room has drywall over lath in the ceiling, which i didnt know about until after we refinished the floors - and i dont want to gut it now and risk ruining the floors, even though i know i can protect them...
well - in the dining room, when we removed the waynescoating, we destroyed the walls in the process (obviously, as plaster and lath cracks as soon as you look at it)
so we used a circular saw, cut a line around the room 4 feet high (height of old waynescoating and width of a sheet of drywall) - furred out the 2x4's with lath and used 1/4 in drywall
blended the edge and you cant notice the line other than the bottom half of the wall is perfectly smooth (brand new drywall) and the top half its what old plaster / lath looks like - some parts smooth, some parts a bit bumpy
So - will probably just do that i the upstairs hallways; furr out the studs and use 1/4 inch - the hallway isn't big - 6x9 feet ish?
same problem i always have - how far do i take it - although i like your idea; faux columns at the transition to the stairs - that might look cool
@lsiunsuex no, I mean in a form submit. jquery.validate only takes action on a submit type button, but I don't want to POST or GET, I just want the button to do an ajax thingy
The problem is that it only seems to 'block' a SUBMIT, but I don't want to SUBMIT because I'm not doing a POST or GET, I'm just doing some ajax-y things when the button is clicked
What are some common safety tips to have a safe swimming?
Yup. Just was busy answering that question when it got closed seconds before I pressed save.. never mind. I didn't need those 10 minutes any way.
So the question is a bit weird- But would it not have been better editing the title and ask...
i used that wizard bootstrap plugin; upon clicking the button to show it, i queried the mainframe over odbc in php, exported a json response, parsed that and did logic on it about what what to show in the wizard; then took the data i got from the mainframe and prepopulated the fields; if i got nothing from the mainframe, i read in a 2nd field and showed an empty form for them to fill it out fresh
So if it was about sports.. then why was it moved away from sports. or atleas closed there. A sports mod just though to him self. Oh she means pool safety.. not actaully swimming safely- no cause we are a sports Q&A and not a DIY Q&A. WTF? — ppumkin1 min ago
Listed.

built that in my dining room last year with parts from Lowes - everything i built it with was UL Listed
let me know if you find those pendant cords - last time we wanted to do something like that, Ikea no longer sells them online and we couldn't find them in canada - and Lowes / Home Depot only had them in brown i think
314.29 Boxes, Conduit Bodies, and Handhole Enclosures to Be Accessible. Boxes, conduit bodies, and handhole enclosures shall be installed so that the wiring contained in them can be rendered accessible without removing any part of the building or, in underground circuits, without excavating sidewalks, paving, earth, or other substance that is to be used to establish the finished grade.
The box they built (if not considered a fixture), may violate 314.29
@lsiunsuex That's not the point. Screws or nails both make the box unaccessible, without removing part of the building. The only way around it, is to say the wooden box is a fixture. But then it has to be listed.
i just dont understand your concern i guess. wire nuts, electrical tape. make sure nothing is being over loaded and don't worry about it - i understand your concern for it being to code and listed, but come-on man - live a little and do something cool to your house?
What happens if somebody yanks on one of the cords? Maybe it doesn't pull out; so it still works, but the connection is now bad. The bad connection starts to generate heat, and it's just a matter of time.
Then comes the insurance investigation. The insurance company stumbles upon the blog post, and denies payment.
Now you're homeless and broke, but hey, you did something "cool" to your house.
@ChrisCudmore unfortunately, it's not about improving the customer experience, it's about protecting against piracy. What they need to effectively communicate is 1. always on is optimal for achievements, seamless multiplayer game play, etc. And 2. how folks who don't have an always-on or spotty connection will be affected.
a question to ask would be - how many people that are in the market for a $300+ console are not within reach of an always on internet connection - which i would assume means dial up - because even DSL is "always" on
@lsiunsuex not many places in the US are left with just dial up as an option (hell the US actually offers subsidized satellite internet deals to you if you complain loudly enough about shitty broadband service)
and satellite + DSL + Cable + Fiber means that only people in very remote, heavily wooded areas aren't able to be served.
@Tester101 I can imagine (I don't quite live in the middle of the US, but I live in a rural area of Georgia), but you're still likely to be able to get DSL through your local phone provider.
@Tester101 yes, my options are DSL (up to 5.0 Mbps, but I pay way to much already for 756k), a local WISP (not actually available at my house yet, up to 1.5 Mbps), or one of the sat providers
I think Xbox live does a reasonable job in managing the online games. It's fine to enforce updates to make sure I'm not cheating in a MMO. And obviously, I"m online anyways.
@lsiunsuex it's the only real way for them to protect themselves from piracy. I understand that, but I think that ultimately they overrate the impact piracy has on their bottom line.
@waxeagle not true though - xbox charges because microsoft runs the servers; sony doesn't charge to play online because the game company is responsible for their own servers
I've got kids. I don't want them online. If I'm using microsoft as a babysitter, I want them jumping around playing kinect tennis or football. I don't want any Jerry Sandusky types interacting with my kids. I like to unplug the network cable.
@Tester101 it's a matter of creating something people are willing to pay for. I used to be opposed to the business model, but it obviously works. I still haven't paid for a monthly game and don't intend to.
i paid atleast 4 years of xbox gold subscription (maybe more) - if you want to play the latest and greatest games (halo, gears, etc...) with your friends - you have no choice - its a rit of passage
i have all 3 current gen systems and all 3 now sit in a closet cause i have no time for them
So on this particular wall in my apartment I have two fire detectors (one that's plugged in but seems to have some sort of internal battery and one that takes 9V batteries), a thermostat and... this:
Any idea as to what it is? Carbon Monoxide detector? Something else?
"honey. when i say now, push the door bell" (waits patiently by the white box on the wall close to the ceiling) "ding ding" OMG ITS THE DOOR BELL CHIME
how long has he been starring at it questioning in his mind what it is before asking might be funny (or sad)
or it might make an interesting opening to a movie "Joe lays on the couch starring at the white box above his door. its been there since he moved into his new appt on the south side of the bronx. suddenly, one sunday afternoon, hot and restless from the summer heat, Joe gets up to try to take it off the wall. Joe climbs the ladder with a flat head screw driver in hand. Just as Joe is about to touch it, it makes a loud screatching noise and Joe nearly falls off the ladder killing himself"
if i don't shake this cold by sunday, gonna be really pissed. expecting 30 people for my 33rd birthday party
if 30 people have 4 slices of pizza each, thats 120 slices, 8 slices to a pizza, i'll be making atleast 15 pizza's. if i can make 2 at a time and each pizza takes 5 minutes to prep and cook, i'll be cooking for 40 minutes. hmm...
some do but it takes them so long they just get in my way, ie: apparently i'm the only one that knows how to roll out dough and make it so it doesn't stick to the pizza peel
i bought some aluminum 12 inch pizza trays; i think if i can roll out some dough before hand, i can just give them to someone to put the ingredients on them and then we can slide them off the tray into the oven
Oh goodie, in time for the weekend, ppumkin is back to give the mods headaches.
Not the correct answer to his question. He knows he should remove it all but he asked what to do in the event if he really needs to tile over the vinyl., Just because you answer is the correct way of doing it does not mean it is the correct answer to the OP question. Some times it just needs to be done to satisfy a condition at the time. He is not a contractor but a mad DIY'er so he can get away with it. — ppumkin5 hours ago
@ChrisCudmore Yeah, he's been irregular since that election, and a bit moody. I hate to pass judgment on people, but that doesn't make for good mod qualities.
