This chat room is amazing. At first I thought it would be a good place to get building tips. It looks more like a school yard full of chumps. I will admit I was turning into one of those chumps too. I guess e-mail is like driving a car, you feel safe and insulated and don’t mind flipping off the guy who looks at you sideways.
We have a pretty cool forum here to discuss the building trade and to pass tips around. Don’t let it turn into a group of Nancys jumping on every little comment and miss cue. I was reading a thread here yesterday and one guy was going off on another guy calling him a something something scrotum sack, this was in response to some guy asking for tip about something I can’t even remember what now ’cause it got so far off the mark.
There are plenty of chat rooms out there that have this kind of attitude to them. Lets keep this professional.

So that's what this is. A chat room. Now I know. I'd always heard about those chat room things.

This is a message board, not a chat room.
Looks from your profile like you've got 2 weeks on this board? You might hang around a bit longer before you start criticizing us.

OOPS. Theres one of those mis cues. Sorry, my bad, I'm wrong, you're right, please forgive me, I meant no harm, don't call me a dirty scrotum bag, this is a MESSAGE BOARD not a CHAT ROOM.
Yes, I have been on two weeks and it is been long enough to criticize and praise, which I did. I said I think it is a wonderful forum to share tips and alot of you guys obviously know what you are talking about when it comes to the trade. Thanks for the tips.

You feel like 2 weeks is long enough to start calling us "a school yard full of chumps"? That's hardly constructive vriticism.
I never called you a chump, or anything else. I just suggested you hang around a while longer and get a feel for the place. You're dealing with humans here - We have our differnces of opinion, which we're entitled to.

Who you callling a CHUMP, boy?
Best listen to the Boss 'cause he's being real nice to you.
Jeez, the kid comes in and starts telling us to keep it professional. Hey son, go start your own "chat room" somewhere............that right, go chit-chat your a** elsewhere.........
I think he's just looking for a daily affirmation, and a way to put it in words.
As a rookie,in this forum, I share in the amazement at our commerce in interest, advice, bravado, and shaddap' whaddya thinkin'? It's sortal like advice at the bar w/o the background noise, & alcohol. Plus someone comes to your aid when a moron is blowing smoke up your tailpipe.
Some hall of fame'r in here suggested that we pull information and advice for ourself until we are able to spread some of that fertilizer back on someone elses' project.

Every body gets initiated here . Yours was sooo swift ! We usually warn others before they actually get the treatment. Yes, Ive had mine . Dont let it fret you much , cause if you stay it will gain respect. This is noted as the "nice bunch" to what it used to be . They are really good people . I know you have your doubts right now. Boss would be one of the ones who would reach out his hand and help you in his area of expertise. Im sure he still will, if my cards play him right . Wanna bet on it ? I like a loaded bet in my favor.
Welcome to the forum , and Im looking forward to your imput in other areas. You are one more mind to add to the forum , and we always need another in good context.

Tim, you ignorant chump, ;-)
Welcome, no need for the name change, you just pointed out one of the charms of this place, and we know all about it. I hear the tea drinkers can keep it civil, but then they send all their weirdos over here to do their venting. Oh, and the way the cooks talk...
I doubt this will make you feel any better, but I think the post you pointed out was by one of our more enlightened playmates, I think we should call Nanu. I am still trying to figure out if he types faster than he thinks or if he just has a problem converting his thoughts into our language. Either way he is a trip I wouldn't miss on a bet, and you can only find him here messing with our pixels.
The info is real, and so are the inmates. Well, except for Newf. Newf, (Now Everyones Worst F-ups), is a composite cyberperson that is managed by several of the oldtimers. The management of Newf changes from time to time, but that keeps it interesting. You can apply for partial management after a year, if you want.
The thing is, lots to learn, and never a dull moment. Pull up a chair and hang out.

Hey tim, thanks for the lesson. I'm brand new and I think I'll just watch for a little while. This place looks like good advise and good banter to me. Probably can't hurt to be tough skinned too.
Tim, thinking of changing screen names so soon. Try making up one like mine then watch them try to post a message about how no one is stupid or no one knows nothing or no one is a chump. It gets pretty funny sometimes. Sorry but you'll have to find your own trick screen name.
By the way, the folks here work hard for their livings and if they seem a bit cranky at times its because they've got more aches and pains at the end of a day then Sugar Ray after his last fight. Winter is also setting in and a lot of us are wondering if we'll be drawing a full pay check for the next few months and be able to afford the Christmas dinner let alone the presents that our families deserve for putting up with us when were tired and hurting.
So if the bantering bothers you then try to keep it to yourself and let the rest of us let off a little steam once in a while without causing any physical harm. Nothing said her is going to permanently scar anyone.
Since Prospero took over its been called everything in the book.
Whatever it's called I have always enjoyed the content here and gotten a kick out of some of the pissin' matches. Most of the people that I listen to here are professional tradesmen and I never expected anyone to be a professional speaker or writer, although there are some pretty good writers. My guess is that Tim has nothing professional to speak about but felt the need to speak.

Tim- Have you ever noticed the number of big rigs that use the interstate routes for their trucking. Most have multiplied years of experience behind the wheel and are on the roads most of the time. On occasion a new driver in a car will enter the roadways too fast or slow, brake wrong, swerve or what have you, and mess up the flow the big rigs have going in order to accommodate the newbie driver's erratic tho' unintentional driving.
Breaktime message board can have certain similarities to the interstate and the truckers. A lot of these guys that post here have decades of building experience under their belts and have earned the right to forcibly disagree with each other publicly on this forum in whatever way they choose.
As I read your first post my impression was one of you just putting forth an idea on something you noticed without really giving much thought to your choice of words as in the 'chump' sentences and then placing yourself alongside the 'chumps'. Just a poor choice of word usage to convey your statement. However, it still sounds like your blanket statement toward 'the schoolyard full of chumps' when you at first thought it would be a good place to get building tips is your summary of the posters on this forum. You need to work on that as I believe your later posts hinted at.
I think you just need to let a little more time expire between the time you think those thoughts and the moment you decide to type the keys. That also might fine tune you a bit to make your posts more enjoyable.
I'd hate to see you get run over.
Let the thunder crack and the waves roar.
We're going on.
Chumps? Hmmm.
You are entitled to your wrong opinion.
Now that that is out of the way you might want to build some credibility by adding something constructive to a thread or two. Demonstrating some sort of expertise, or at least a logical mind and basic understanding of the subject at hand, and using it to try to help someone would take you farther than any backhanded commentary will.
Oh and lets not forget: Welcome aboard. I'm always glad to hear from new people even if they might not start out on the right foot.
Tim,
Are you ready for a laugh now that you've swallowed your pride (or had it fed to you)?
Let me tell you about my first two posts here...
Well, maybe not! I don't want to remind anyone of my faux pas. LOL
But I was handed some of the same rough treatment you just heard in responce. I had the impression that this was a little less civilized place than I wanted to hang out in. I've always avoided most bars for the same reason. I handle the banter on job sites just fine, knowing that it comes with the territory. Most of those here whom I've met in person happen to be pretty much the same in reality as I conceive them to be from the online persona. There might be a couple who are fakes I guess but not too many of that type invest time is this sort of chatforumboard. There are better places for them to piss on each other.
If you really want a dry place to professionally discuss construction and nothing else, go to JLCOnline, though they occasionally have some flame wars too.
I theorize that this board attracts some of the finest builders ion the country. As in any industry, the top dogs have earned some strong opinions, based on their own experiences. Since construction is a rough dangerous occupation, the average person involved in it can be a little rougher and tougher than the average schoolteacher (there goes my faux pas for the day, sorry to all you schoolteachers)!
If there is something especialy egregious and offensive, you can hit the button to your lower left that says options and choose "report violation". Don't use it frivolously every time your lil ole feelins get hurt or they'll learn to ignore you at the webmaster room. I guess it goes to someone with authority who checks things when they get a chance. I don't think a red flag drops down out of the ceiling with strobe lights going off or anything like that, but it's a tool if every one uses it wisely. I think I had to use it once. The person I reported has been banned about a half dozen times here and there so he deseerved it.
To change you displayed name and assume a new identity, you go to your profile and find a button there that says something like, " Call the witness protec..." oops wrong board, get the "My prefs" and scroll down to the box for "nickname" to change over to "Big Tim MaHoney" or whatever.
Now go forth and enjoy your learning experiences here. It's the vitality and comraderie that keep bring you back. It's not boring here so people stay and answerd to serious questions come quickly.
Excellence is its own reward!

I'm a 55 yr-old vietnam vet with more scars on my body than I can count, quite a few years of varied construction experience, fought to a draw with a 450# black bear a few years ago that was in the process of mauling me....and the other day, I and others were referred to as "sophomoric" for our lighthearted (and somewhat silly) response to a serious post...life is short...don't get your undies all bunched up by a bunch of warm-hearted but hard edged yahoos.

Ditto what Rez said - Too many "Tims" around. That's part of the reason I stopped using my real name.
St. Louis, huh? I live about an hour northeast of there. On my desk I have a set of prints for a job on Mason Manor Drive in Ceve Coeur. I also helped a friend rehab some houses off Kingshighway in south St. Louis. May be down there again this winter.
There are a couple of oither people from the area that hang around here. One is from west of St. Louis, and another from Alton. Might be more that I don't know about. Nothing is wasted which makes a memory.
I used to live in Creve Coure. Now live 35 miles west of STL. I saw a Mark McDonnell on here. I'm hoping this isn't the same Mark I know that is a carpenter out of STL , because if it is, he's going to give me some kind of you know what over my earlier posting.
Mark, if thats you, be nice, I'm back on my meds (just kidding)
and oh yeah, can I borrow your jacks?

Son, there's only one Mark McDonnell, and he's not only got your name, but he's also got your address! I'll post pictures..............
And he wants to borrow my house jacks!
Of course, I'll have to first give him a lesson on gravity. Then a lesson in load paths, then one in which way to turn the screw jack! And then he'll prob. break the damn thing, his house will fall down and his widow, (a lovely gal) will try to maim me and his son, upon maturity, will hunt me down and kill me with great fury!.......
Now, a little background about Timmy-boy. He really is good, tries hard and, (hope this doesn't get back to him) anal.
Boy is he anal! Takes him days to make a cut.
He has a wonderful family, is quite sane and I figure he won't last but a few months on this forum before he's reduced to a blithering, sobbing, idiot who can no longer hold a job, (which means he'll be broke) and his addition will never get finished, which means I'll have to finish it for him for a freebee, (remember, he's broke!)
sooooooo, for the sake of Mark McDonnell, let's all play nice with Mr Timmy, at least until he finishes with my house jacks and completes his addition. Please?!
Mark has spoken. Tim is now known as 'Tim the Champ'!
Hiya Tim, (pat pat) Let me buy ya a cold one. Let the thunder crack and the waves roar.
We're going on.
Hey Mark -
I think Tim has settled in now. He'll likely handle everything fine from now on.
BTW - Did you see the thread about the proposed "HogFest" under "Breaktime Fests"? You and Tim are close enough to make it..............A man who finds it painful to smile should not open a shop. [Confucius]
Sure..........keep us informed
Hey Hog Miester
A Hogfest? WOW! Do we get to do "run and catch the greased up hog" contest and each get a strand of straw to put tween our teeth...lol? Actually I just may come so you can remind me how to build a chicken coup thats good enough to keep all the racoons around here out. Someone told me I even need to put chicken wire on the ground attached to the chicken wire walls. Startin' to sound like Alcatrraz chicken coup headquarters. I need some pro advice on this construction and I know just the Boss to tell me. I had 50 pullets when I lived in the Blue Ridge Foothills of Virginia and never had this problem. Any ideas or books I might look through?
Be well

andyIt's not who's right, it's who's left ~ http://CLIFFORDRENOVATIONS.COM
Yo Andy -
Never built a chicken coup. I have heard of chicken wire or old chain link fence in the ground to keep predators from tunnelling underneath fences.
I've also heard of digging a trench and putting the chicken wire about 8" deep in the ground for the same reason.
Many chicken coups around here were just converted old buildings. Patch a couple of holes, add some nest boxes, and you're covered. Don't know of any books on the subject.
BTW - I could arrange for a greased pig contest, if enough people were interested...............(-: We can do no great things, only small things with great love. [Mother Theresa]
"Never built a chicken coup."
I bet Heck could draw one, though. The lead vehicle in the Hen Posse."The blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half light..."--???
Actually, the use of the word 'coup' instead of 'coop' and the mention of barnyard animals and the hen posse is just the kind of ammo that fires up the ol' drawing urge....durn it, don't have time right now....but thanks for the nod, Theodora. (-:
jwwhat the heck was I thinking?
Crap, just one more thing McDonnell has on me. He's right about me being anal though, but not when it comes to making a cut, hell, I usaually make two or three before I get it right.
And Mark, freebies are like sex, "if you ain't payin' for it, you'll payin' too much."
I look forward to learning from the best.

Andy:
Here we go again big guy. The dog kennel is supposed to complement the house; the chicken coop is meant to CONTRAST the house, not "duplicate it". Do we have to return to Architecture 101: too many buildings mirroring the larger component starts to look like you're running a small ghost town--cute, but pathetic. And sorry about your day install time, guess it's going to take another day to remove and reinstall them in their proper place--which is IN THE CHICKEN COOP. Yes, have you noticed any small white feathers on store bought chicken lately,? Does it seem exceedingly wet at time of purchase or frozen in an ice cube? Not exactly. Why? Well after you run dem through the plucker, you rinse them in the washer, and throw them in the dryer-low heat, five minutes ( And: No, don't let some know nothing helpful hinter suggest you can singe the feathers off with a blow torch. After more than three centuries do you really want to be the guy who gives the Long Island cellah savers some weekend amusement?) And finally, do you really think your better half is going to let you traipse into her house, even downstairs, leaving trails rivulets of blood? Seriously, the chickens won't be the only headless ones...
Take care bro, I'll try to keep around to offer some more help,
Regards,
Rework
Rework
Hmmmmm.....never thought of a blow torch. I just unboxed my torch for meltin down rubber roofs. That aughta be awesome for doin three chickens at a time...LOL. The reason I wrote about copying this house was cause I had a small side biz a ways back where I duplicated houses into mailboxes for people. They loved em but it wasnt worth all the effort for the money they were willing to pay. Actually, if you check out that site Calvin posted to me theres some pretty intense coops. I use to have 50 pullets and built a coop but that was like a hundred years ago or so........
Installing my front load washer and dryer in a dirt basement was pretty interesting....ugh. And yeh.....In a few months they'll be moved to the top floor but for now its the dungeon walking over planks (gets really wet down there after a rainstorm not to mention walking down seriously steep steps). Still better and cheaper then going to the laundramat. And I do have to say cause I just finished the installation and one load of wash that front loaders seems so much more ecological. So much less water as well as energy. Does a better wash too. I'm sold.
Chickens? Oh yeh.I have to compartmentalize in my mind. So much to do..... so why am I here? Puters in the middle of the house now and...Its an addiction. Hello, my name is Andy and I've been abusing Breaktime for over five years.

I've only been here a short time as well Tim, but I can give you a tip; if you find a message with more than 20 resonses in one day, the topic is likely subjective. If you find a posting with only 3 or 5 responses the topic may contain either professional advice, or is boring.
Avoid what you will - one false step...
Tim;
If 68 opinions weren't enough for you, here's number 69. As you can see, you've hurt some builders' itty, bitty feelings. Builders are a sensitive bunch and I guess you stepped on some toes. I'm guessing that the writers who couldn't take a bit of well-intentioned, constructive criticism, are probably also the ones who you can't tell a thing on the job. As you have just learned, there are some respondants who are stubborn old farts so we just have to glide right past them....
So John and Tim are gliding past the men with hurt feelings huh? Well Tim seems more of an understanding man then you. He understood his choice of words, and feelings. Words can hurt folks and"their itty bitty feelings" my brother. Don't you seem to understand that? The key word you used so indiscretely was "feelings" . Gloss over? Think about what you say before "you" gloss over your own words and fall on your manly face. Us builders work our azz's off and do deserve a certain amount of leeway and understanding. Sorry we're such girlie-men.

Actually TimC- The bunch who frequent here are all artist in their own right. The carpentry/builder venue is just the vehicle of choice to produce their creativity. And as such an artist temperament of necessary sensitivity is oft left openly exposed here to the general viewing public and any unmerited blade to the ribs or what might be taken as a sucker punch is bound to get some kind of reaction. Glad all is well now and we're moving on. Let the thunder crack and the waves roar.

Hey Tim!
What a hilaroius thread you started!
A bit of true background. Tim is a very good friend of mine. A trusted neighbor who lives less than a mile from me and a fabulous artist in his own right. He' s the smart guy who makes his money doing the art that really pays. As a carpenter,, he could quit his job, (DON'T!) and blow most of the guys in the business outta the water.
After I broke my ankle, he was the only guy, in or outta of the business, I could count on to come over and move a pile of freshly milled oak timbers outta harms way. He did it alone and in the rain.
So when I discovered this buddy of mine posting, what an opportunity to poke some fun at each other.
Obviously, there are some readers of tea leaves here.
Tim and I will pledge to continue to confuse.......
Hey Mark..Tim was accepted after his understandably questionable post faster then most and we all know why. Dudes there. Simple as that but its nice of you to verify it unconditionally
Be well

Yeah,
Your gonna like him.
Liked him since the post where he showed he could kick his own butt with humour! Man who can laugh at himself goes a long way.
Bet he was singing in that rain..
