  1. The guy who made this is such a nerd, but damn does he have a good ear for music. Since I found this video I've been searching for all the tracks.
  2. Apparently he IS tall enough to unlatch the bolt. That took all of one day for the little fucker to figure it out. I swear James Bond is our milkman.
  3. Father times 2 going on 3 and my wife is still around. Winning!
  4. All in I spent $150 at Home Depot, but that also included a 2nd smaller gate at the top. The hardware, wood glue, and stain was $50 of that. We put the bolt there for convenience as he's not tall enough to reach it yet. If it becomes a problem we can easily move it to the back side.
  5. Sometime this week I was planning on doing something like that I just didn't know what would be the best solution. I will be getting some of those felt stickers that you put on the bottom of furniture legs and putting them between the gate sides and the main banisters it's tied to to prevent rubbing. Not sure what mole skin is but I'll certainly look into it. I do need something there because those zip ties are tight as hell. They need to be because the gate weighs around 20 lbs and all the weight is on the left banister. We wanted to make it high enough where he couldn't reach over and drop stuff and then get mad because he can't get to it (also why I only left a .25" gap btwn the boards so he couldn't put anything through it). He's nowhere near tall enough to reach the top so he shouldn't be able to grab anything to pull himself up on that bottom board. But of course the kid is a little ninja and has surprised us plenty of times. For now I think he's conceded defeat and doesn't mess with it. So far so good!
  6. We have a 1.5 year old who climbs everything. Literally spends all day trying to climb on stuff. I've had enough, so today I built this. Pretty proud of it considering I'm a novice at this type of stuff. The biggest challenge we had was that there was no real way to gate off the stairs as you can see from the 3rd picture. We had a gate that we slid back and forth between the bannisters, but he figured out how to move it so I had to find a way to block it off for good. I built another gate just like this at the top of the stairs but didn't take any pictures. I tied it down with zip locks (it's actually very sturdy for being so heavy) because I didn't want to put holes in anything and it needed to be easy to remove and put back. We're expecting our 3rd son in a few months, so I figured it was worth it to spend the money to not have to deal with this again. Built, stained, and mounted both gates from scratch in 1 day, not bad eh?
  7. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vp44kXvNr24 Yes it's American idol but not a contestant, just a guest. bring on the hate. This guy is awesome though and his songs all have good messages
  8. Orbital is awesome. This is one of my all time favorite tracks
  9. Would be cool to see a video. I don't know a lot of the terms you're using for shooting drills.
  10. At least you have bike lanes. We don't. We have spandex jockeys that ride along 45mph roads like it's theirs. Most of the time it's just a single guy. Bigger groups are easier to see. The guy that rides by himself is asking for it.
  11. RIP man. STP is my favorite band of all time.
  12. Will somebody who has never seen Kingsmen please watch it, so I can gloat about how I TOLD YOU SO! Seriously, watch the fucking movie people! It's James Bond on steroids with comedy.
  13. Thanksgiving is a multi day event for us. My parents yesterday, lunch and dinner, her parents today, lunch and dinner, and then leftovers until Sunday. Monday will literally be my fattest day ever. Been going that way for a few years lol
  14. Thanksgiving should be a universal holiday.
  15. I really hope that it doesn't take years for the movie to come out. I haven't been to a movie theater in 10+ years but I would actually go to see this on opening night. Lionsgate bought the rights, so hopefully that means we can expect something soon. I was actually referencing a movie about the mistborn trilogy. It's hard to say which series I like more. Mistborn is truly a masterpiece. Read those if you haven't already
  16. The spinning fat chick sending the dude through the WTC tower, that is fucking epic.
  17. There's a jewelry store named Jareds here in the US and their commercials are terrible. The jihad picture is a play on those commercials. I thought it was hilarious
  18. I just finished the first location completely except for that lvl 10 dormer or water guy, whatever they're called. All the side quests have been replenished on that board, should I do those or just move to the next place? Yeah it's 100 question time apparently
  19. So when I unlock a potion or oil, I don't have to keep inventory for it correct? All I have to do is meditate and everything is replenished? There's so many damn ingredients for potions, should I create everything as soon as it turns green in the menu? For crafting should I stockpile everything until I get to a stronger blacksmith? timber/coal/iron/steel/leather/pelts/crap to be dismantled/etc.....so much stuff I don't know what to do. Also are the "master" swords the best or should I just run with whatever has the highest attack. If I use the enchantment or whatever that thing is called do I lose it forever? Can I switch it out with another one? Should I hoard swords and sell them or pay to dismantle?
