Why is it, did you not consider the counter argument before posting the original article here? As an intellect, wouldn't it be prudent to do your due-diligence prior to starting a conversation? or worse yet contribute your biased opinion? We are all still waiting for your opinion as to why rifles should be regulated as a response to this situation? why the conversation is more important to YOU, then say a conversation about the check and balances of our system that failed so miserably. You say you want to ban Assault rifles becuase its obvious we cant rely on the government to keep them out of the hands on lunatics.... well genius wouldn't they be the ones instituting that ban? If they cant keep track of people getting background checks, DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY WILL CONTROL THE BLACK MARKET!? I will offer up an example, Fast and Furious. THAT is the result when you entrust the government to track illegal weapons.. BRAVO! You are in support of more government failure.... BRAVO!

Just wait, even if the symptoms do continue to go away, there is a very good chance you will have periods of ringing and hearing loss. After a similar issue, my right ear years later still cuts in and out every coupled days for a few seconds, sounds get low and ringing starts again. Most hearing damage like this is permanent to a degree. I will add in some extra advice, get shooting glasses for ear muffs. They are wire thin and otherwise require ear muffs to even stay on lacking an ear loop. Smith makes some nice ones, a bit pricey but worth it.

I wouldn't support ban of AVB. It's like my daily entertainment watching him get shut down by GRIZ and others. You cant take that away from me!

You cant appreciate something, and then tell us how it needs to be banned. That's pretty oxyMoronic. Also, the entire argument...well, there isn't really a single reason statistically it should be a preffered gun to ban, or further regulate. Also, i really don't care how much AVB distracts around here. Trump says ones thing and the liberals lose their freaking minds for days on end. He's actually good practice for sourcing information and shutting down the hard lefts ridiculous arguments. If anything he is a great reminder of what we stand to lose. Notice, how yet again, we have a post by AVB with no substance in objectivity. Just a liberal rant, followed by an liberal opinion of a liberal rant. The truth is, AVB. You are here in a counter productive form. Tell us one Pro gun thing you have done around here? What are your thoughts on the .50 cal ban? you know, a gun that statistics don't even exist for because its not used to kill? The agenda is clear, so excuse us all for calling out your bullshit, and don't complain about that, you are free to leave if you don't like our responses. You are quite the no show when someone proposes a counter argument or even asks you to source your content, again a clear indication of your troll like behavior and purpose. Take note of the posts AVB refuses to answer, they are probably good shut down points for liberal arguments.

I have to say, the panels don't look that bad if you cover a whole section of roof. I have no idea of availability, but you look at the Tesla roofs? Might be worth it for someone looking to actually replace a roof.

Looks like the stars aligned, having never really done this before I was shocked to see my permits approved in under 24 hours. I've used butyl tape and sealant before. Probably the most miserable tape to be invented but dang is it good. I'm planning on renting a dingo, kinda excited for that.

The entire project is priced out at 9500 right now, I decided to do the water proof Trex rainescape. That added a pretty penny. With a few rentals and some tools I need to buy it's probably gonna be $10500 all said and done. I priced in tax too. Just the azek railings alone we're around 4k

The deck is over built and that is shown in the plans, hopefully i will be able to avoid any trouble.

Well what an absolute pain in the ass applying for permits is. I just went round two with zoning, they stuck me on grading the back yard. Finally accepted the survey, now i'm waiting to hear back from the building dept. hopefully my plans are good enough and i can start the build early spring.

NIMBY Doesn't matter how pro-gun an area is. Shit I would hate if a Gun range opened up right behind me like that, property is surrounded by residents. In these places, I have neighbors that shoot on the weekends, i can hear the gun shots through the woods. Doesn't bother me as I know there is a natural back stop between me and anyone else. I would still be 100% against a fully operating outdoor range behind me. Just look at cherry ridge, it's literally nestled in the middle of nowhere in a valley. The lake communities up there are lucky to be enough distance it isn't a problem, but you still hear guns going off all day everyday. It's a quality of life issue with sound more then anything. Shit people complain about leaf blowers... You could park an indoor range in the same spot and I would be 100% for it.

SmartThings was on my short list, but there were at lot of people complaining about its performance.

Current design is 14x20' 3 footings, 16"diameter, 12' from Ledger. 8' Span between posts (It's actually better than 4, 12") https://build.decksgo.com/build/calculators/deck-load-calculator.php 2-2x12 for the beam, but 3-2x10 would be stronger. Joists are 2x10's 12" OC The deck will have 2 feet over hangs all the way around. I tried the Trex website and I couldnt do anything with overhangs, or change joist and beam sizes. It's not a problem. I'm just drafting it all by hand on graph paper, I've been copying the diagrams out of the 2015 IRC that I'm using and the Trex website put together all of railings for me. I'm gonna being doing it in sections, once the weather gets warm I'm going to start the footings, then I have all July to put it together.

Zwave, zigbee, ifttt

I picked up my permit application, and apparently I have to make the plans myself. Unfortunately, those deck building programs seem to utilize the lowest standard for code, which is fine, but I'm not doing 8 footings, and they won't allow me to add over hangs, reduce # of footings or change joist size to increase joist span per footing. Luckily they gave me a deck packet with the diagrams I need to draw. Which is less work then I thought. I'm going to scan and upload them and add in my specs. I can use the program results for the top half of the deck tho. Its kinda funny that they don't want profession plans for homeowner completed jobs. Not that I'm gonna complain.

Not that I found. A lot of stuff on Reddit, though. I'm still researching around, bit it looks like ARLO, by Netgear, is an option.

Of this entire project the flashing has me worried the most, getting it right that is. I just need to watch some videos. Can't imagine the nightmare rotting the rim joist would be...

We have probably 50 or so big blue pavers that we're going to create a patio underneath. I looked into the trex membrane for a drainage system to waterproof the area, and similar water-proof membrane products. THAT, seems like a very tedious job. I'm trying to avoid using trex decking clips to save money, although I do want to use them.

Footing placement and even depth isnt an issue, its the width that I have to figure out. Honestly, with the 2015 IRC NJ edition it is VERY clear how to build the deck, hell they even include figures and diagrams to detail exactly what the text is describing. Azek also allows for 16" spacing of the joists, although i still want to figure out just how much "firmer" 12" spacing provides. I don't want boards flexing, but a little give is OK. Was also looking at the Azek Railings, still need to do more homework there. They offer a few different options.

I don't need an engineer seal if I do it myself luckily. If we hired a contractor the seal is required.

We have a good lumber yard, 2 actually within 2 miles of the house. Good idea on having home Depot drawing up the plans. I did just find the 2015 IRC NJ edition. No wonder it was tough to find, they dont let you download it. Thanks

So we are going to be replacing the existing structure, nothing more. I'm going to submit plans for permits based on the Design for code acceptance by the American wood council following IRC 2012 revisions. Other than the footings requirements i have not found anything in building codes that falls outside the design criteria. Anyone confirm this is a good point of reference?s http://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standards/publications/dca/AWC-DCA62012-DeckGuide-1405.pdf2 IRC Version

Not sure if I'm going to use the recessed decking clips, but I didn't include them. My material costs shouldn't break 8k

I'm kinda at this point right now, I'm about to just do the whole job myself after speaking with a few individuals. A friend just offered to help set the footings and frame it out. Deck code is pretty strait forward.

Yes, that was with the railing priced out, all Azek build material except the framing.
