Why/how would you put a washer in the head end of a carraige bolt? The whole point of a carraige point is not to

I didn't see that. Wow, that's a huge gap. A quarter round or shoe molding would do the trick, but it's going to have a large vertical profile that may look odd. If the end closest to the camera leads to an inside corner, they could buy matching trim for transitioning different floor types. As long as you had some scrap wood to put underneath, should be solid and not look so out of place.

I think you either need a slotted pipe, with a carriage that rides inside; or a pipe with brackets to mount it and a ring that goes more that 1/2 way around it. I can't see a realistic way to implement it. Your other option is an electric dog fence. These are popular for a reason. You pick any area, bury the wire, and the dog (once trained, stays in.

I know! I feel crazy. I’ll send pics

Shim it from underneath. I've a 105yo home and it's worked every time

Why not grout it ?

I think ripping up boards may be the best option. Sucks, but better than having a poorly finished product for years.

Older dudette here. Flabby armed (hence not the best at digging for in-ground posts...).

I think I will probably try the heavy-duty hangars. I have hung pictures and a heavy antique mirror using wildly oversized picture hangers, and those have ridden through earthquakes, so maybe I'll succeed with that outside too!

​

Oh, and I'm bookmarking that site! Thank you. It says heavy duty wall anchors and screws (fine) but also says I STILL need to find the studs??

I was going to say grk. Same idea, great way to go.

I have a window but it doesn't open

No obvious reason you should be having trouble….

I don't know cutting a hole in siding gives me pause. I don't want to have to replace siding.

The install instructions in the link he posted call for 1/2”. Take the old quarter round up then and install something larger.

Going through an exterior wall, having to cut siding, all that seems like a bad idea. Replacing a door is easier than replacing siding.

It could be done and I kinda have a picture in my head of how, just not the right terms

It would have to be the same type of fittings as a ski-lift chair would use, since they successfully jump(?) across the supports for the cable, perhaps adapted from zip line fittings?

ETA: Or something along the line of how roller coaster cars are attached to the pipes they run on.

Probably not a cheap set up

It looks like there is already quarter round installed. If I'm seeing it right, I don't think that is going to be an option. Most want a 1/4 inch, not 1/2 inch, but I'm sure that varies by material.

I even have a post hole digger! However, I have horribly rocky ground, and I'm pretty sure the blades would bend or break if I tried to use them. I've been using one of those garden claws to break into the soil, and taking 4-6 iterations to get down to nearly a foot. I'm bordering my driveway with all the rocks and baby boulders I pull out of the ground when I garden.

Dude try asking fixable.ai

Use multiple heavy-duty anchors to the wall/structure.

Place empty planters on the anchors and secure them with screws.

Fill the planters with soil and plants.

Stores also sell standing planter posts if the structure can’t support the load.

Not usually an option. Disconnects are mostly in new construction. Older homes require you to pull the meter which requires an electrician. Right?

Nicely done. You know the quality of materials and workmanship that went into your extension. While you can purchase a cheap extension strip from an online retailer for a lot less you can't trust the build quality on most.

I had an issue with a supposed 'quality' surge suppressor years back where one of the outlets was intermittent. First thing I did was replace it, afterwards I tore it apart and checked it out. Instead of solid connections between the copper wires and the metal blades in the outlets they were just pressed together, slots in the metal blades clipped onto bare copper wires. I ended up soldering all of the connections in the strip but I was appalled of the build quality of a $70 name brand surge suppressor.

I wouldn't touch the frame - because I am a worry wart lol. I am interested to see where this goes though. I have similar (but functionally totally different) concerns about structure for my home. Hence the hooks I mentioned in a reply to the other comment:)

You're wrong. Don't advise people to do stupid shit. I never said don't work on it, but for fucks sake turn the panel off.

That’s true, and they’re definitely easier to work with, but Alex Flex is definitely not the right thing to use here. If not pure silicone, should definitely be using something that states for use in tubs and showers for this application.

Did you have any cracking or support issues on the edge? I found someone saying 2", does feel a bit excessive, 1" looks safe with 5/8 screws much further down the board

Thanks for the input. The bump is rather sudden, and the floor is level everywhere else, so i think im going to cut and cap the pipe and shave a bit of the concrete
