An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. We had a second full-size freezer in the kitchen full of food. I don't do that, but I do tend to keep things I use in stock, I guess I got it from my parents.
While we are judging OPs garage space can we get an explanation of why it was appropriate to put 50 gallons of gas fired hot water up on a custom wood stand?
That "custom wood stand" is required by code for gas water heaters, and came with the house. It's pretty damn sturdy. I think it's about keeping the ignition source above gas vapors.
Yeah, that makes sense. It is a garage. Not as common in the north to put water heaters in garages. Carry on
this looks awesome!
I would love to hear how strong/quiet it is when stress tested.

It's solid wood, and very heavy. I expect it to be stable and quiet.
This is the rail hardware, the two big screws can be tightened to make a firm connection, and I used better screws than what came with it to mount the pieces.

Hell yeah borther!
Are the platform panels the bit the matress goes on?
Yeah, it's for a queen size bed, which is 60" wide. Can't get the platform out of one sheet of 4X8, so I had to cut two pieces with a seam down the middle that rests on the center rail.
The mattress is rated by the manufacturer to sit on a solid platform, and I'm in NM where humidity is low, so mold isn't a big problem here.
Nice! You knew exactly where my mind was heading haha
Giggity
nice!
