Haha-I was wondering why this floor was sunk down
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/Squisher/floor.jpg
When we first walked through the house I noticed the floor being sunk and spongy in front of the bathroom. I assumed there was some major problem that someone tried to fix, but couldn't, because I could see where the floor had been cut into before, yet the floor wasn't right. I was prepared to have to dig in some sort of pier in the crawlspace, but when I re-opened up the floor all I could do was laugh. I guess if all you have access to is two small pieces of 2X6 and one small piece of 2X10 this is the best you can do. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5129 (20100519) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |

.... The hardest part will be trying to get the height right, even though a majority of this floor is going to be carpeted so I can leave the floor plywood. The reason the height is an issue is the old floor was 3/4" oak with the sub floor being 1 bys (3/4") at a diagonal. Modern floor plywood is under 23/32" so I'll likely use 2 sheets with 1/8" masonite in between. .... Easiest I've found is to add a layer of felt paper or so; can make virtually any thickness needed by one or more plies cheaply and certainly easier than trying shimming or finding other thicknesses of stock materials. -- |

Probably the security perimeter on your LAN at work, or a net-nanny blocking 'outside' pictures in general. Malicious code can be buried in pictures, so many corporate LANs block some or all .jpg files, especially ones not embedded in an actual web page. Could easily be, but certainly not all pictures are blocked. Usually a 100pt. font warning is displayed when you go to a site the nanny disapproves. With this one it was just some html gobbledygook, or somethin. |

No net-nanny type software running. And just to make it even more interesting, the link now works on the corporate machine running IE6 on which it did *not* work last week. As I said earlier... Go figure. |

Where I work, if a picture site (tinypic, etc) is blocked, we get a webpage from a corporate proxy server. It explains the steps to take contact our IT department if we feel the site should be allowed, etc. In this case, the gif image is presented by the pics.bbzzdd.com site, not by our corporate servers. You can view the source of the webpage and see that is comes directly from pics.bbzzdd.com, so it is not being blocked by anything internal to my company. |
