I’ll send you a bunch of my modeling photos so you can peruse them and pick out the one you want....I can’t post them as they’d violate the site rules. I also know a sculptor here in town that does AMAZING “living art”. He even incorporates fondue fountains into his pieces. You can get a cheese flow from any part of the sculpture you prefer. Just let me know, and I’ll see if he’s back from his “Peruvian spirit walk” journey.

I'd like to make a request for a stinkbug pose please
 
I called around a bunch yesterday and had no luck on the sprinkler parts. I even called a local contractor and he said he can't get to it for 6 months, if at all:oops: It's not like putting my house back together hinges on this at all...

I almost have the electrical done so I should be hanging drywall soon enough
 
I say replace the sprinkler heads with some of those laser “Christmas light” projectors and unleash your inner-disco whenever you want ....

Depending on his direction, a “couple of hours” away could equal Death Valley.....then he’d have to go hang out with @Dirk

Can you imagine the discussion!

"Hey Dirk, I'm thinking of capping my fire sprinklers"

That does sound fun. I wonder how well cans of Cheese Wiz would work during a fire:unsure:

 
Hey now. You know I'm just looking out for everyone's safety. Pool safety (any safety) is all about trade offs. Cost vs reliability vs usability vs convenience, etc, etc. That said, Cheese Wiz Ceiling Dispensers instead of fire sprinklers seems like a perfectly reasonable compromise... (y)(y)

I think all the time and effort to get them working properly isn’t worth it. What u might use them once. :)

Seriously though. Safety first.

My thoughts and the whole fire thing is if my house ever caught fire. First everyone is safe? Check. Ok let it burn to the ground so I can start over cause I could never imagine trying to piece a partially burnt house back together. Just don’t touch the pool cause I don’t want to do that again.

I feel exactly the same. I want the place to burn to the ground!

That glulam beam will survive, local regulators will declare it a historic preservation site, and you will be forced to rebuild around it....and they STILL won’t approve your patio extension....

:LOL::ROFLMAO:

So the glulam...I have no idea why its there. Its a 6X14X24 that supports the floor joists on both sides. If they had run the joists 5' longer the beam could have been omitted altogether. That span with I-joists would have been no issue:unsure:
 
Do you have your own drywall lift for doing the ceilings or do you just hold it up with one arm while nailing with the other? I assume you do all your work shirtless which is why you’re not in any of the pictures....
 
Lifts are for sissies(n). Lift it up and hold it with my head as I screw away. 5/8" sheets are no fun though and I can't imagine the havoc it does to my neck.

Normally shirtless is correct but its been cold and rainy lately. I was too worried I'd end up slicing one of the sheets with my razor sharp nipples

Geez dude, establish some workplace ergonomics or else I’ll send in the OSHA goon-squad to cite you for violations.

Simple solution - setup a plank of wood between two ladders (“ghetto scaffold”), lay down on your back, place the 5/8” Sheetrock on top of your chest then raise it up with your knees and non-dominant hand. Screw the board in place.

Less strain on your neck that way and, bonus, instant Yoga pose....
