i'd leave em for what it's worth. You could shorten em up just be sure to hit the next joist in, but they're not without purpose.

2x3 is more than fine, angle bracing is key.

Pocket screws are fine for that op, don't listen to these autists. You could've used regular screws and a lapped joint too. Would've been faster/easier.

> M12 CID-202C. The hammer function.
that's an impact driver. there's a difference between an impact driver and hammer drill. hammer drills delivers a reciprocating force to the tip of the drill bit in a perpendicular motion for breaking power. impact drivers deliver the pulsating torque bursts in a rotating manner to maximize "twisting" power. hammer drills are best for making holes in concrete whereas impact drivers arebest for installing a screw in concrete like a tapcon.

I settled on the milwaukee one.
The battery holds a long charge and is surprisingly powerful for such a small difference. the main difference between the bosch and milwaukee is the former drives screws up to twice as fast, but the latter has a better battery life which I favor more. both are light and well built. I recommend against getting the quick chuck. While they're great for speed of changing bits, they're mostly suited for impact drivers. For a drill you'll want a chuck so you can use regular round cheap drill bits. I have the quick chuck and it blows having to use hex quick connect drill bits.

>hand mix

>equal parts water cement and sand
no. buy premix. aggregate adds strength. follow the instructions on the bag. use rebar and wire mesh.
concrete cure through a process called hydration. the strongest concrete has just enough water added for the process to take place, not a drop more. using too much water will result in weak rete.
tap the mold with a hammer to remove air bubbles.

>buying a house with block foundation

kek

It's leaning because it sunk. level the deck and install new post with a proper footings on the house side. detach the deck from the house. add cross bracing if necessary.

Like other said, it's commercial carpet tile. Easy to replace damaged or worn tiles, especially in high traffic areas. They also allow for reconfiguration of partitions without fucking up the entire floor.

Got this one because it's super compact and I used to be an SUV guy and space was an issue. Comes with lots of accessories all of which stow into the body for easy portability/storage. Even the fence fits in there. 18" rip, decent power. I like the dial operated fence on the DeWalt better but it has less rip capacity.

slots, so you can slide the panel up and remove it.
or screws if you are lazy and have a drill close at all times.

In keeping with the theme of the thread, you should've went with rafters instead. They allow for more storage space.
