My first post here, so thank you for helping!

I've purchased a wood stove and I need to pass the pipe through a 15cm external, insulated wooden wall of a cabin.

I've found this method which seems affordable and safe. I don't have a big budget for pre-made solutions, but I am very handy so I don't mind building a DIY solution.

Essentially, it involves building a fireproof box of non-combustible insulation board to provide clearance around the insulated pipe as it passed through.

Is this generally a good idea?

Should it be filled with rockwool

I heard już so often in conversation, but it doesn't seem to have a consistent meaning.

It seems like an important word to master, so can you offer any tips in how to use it?

Wiktionary gives me this...

już (not comparable)

1. already, yet, anymore Mam już tego dosyć. ― I've already had enough of that.Skończyłaś już*?* ― Are you done yet? Nie sprzedajemy już tego produktu. ― We don't sell that product anymore.

już

1. now Na mój znak wszyscy skaczą. Już*!* ― On my mar

Hello everyone.

Can you offer some grammar advice please?

I'm studying instrumental case for X is/are Y sentences, for example:

• Tygrys jest kotem (singular)
• Tygrysy są kotami (plural)

But I recently heard the song, "My jesteśmy krasnoludki" and I'm back to being confused.

Grammatically, shouldn't this be "My jesteśmy krasnoludkami"?

Does the song use bad grammar, or am I missing something?

Thank you!

I recently purchased some Rustin's Danish Oil for the first time.

After applying, the smell is difficult to describe but definitely unpleasant. It's kind of a sickly, slightly rotten smell.

I finished a test piece with 2 thin coats, left to dry and cure for 7 days, well ventilated at 25°C / 77°F. The odour is less powerful but still present. The smell still transfers to fingers after handling the test piece.

Is this is normal for danish oil, or have I received a bad batch?

Some project painting and finishing often uses chemicals for cleaning or thinning... acetone, nitro, gasoline, spirits etc.

So far, I have some glass jars with these waste chemicals after cleaning brushes. I'm trying to do my part by not just pouring them down the sink or garden.

How do you recommend hobbyists like myself dispose of these chemicals in a responsible way?

Greetings everyone.

I'm new to woodworking in general. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and learning.

I bought a set of 4 cheap store chisels on the popular advice to not invest too heavily into a new hobby that might be a passing phase.

However, after struggling to flatten their backs for days on sandpaper and an oil stone, I'm concerned they are just more trouble then they're worth.

I've included some photos of the chisel backs, showing the grinding/sanding isn't going right to the tips (which I inked to help me see). I guess this means they have a belly. I've included my mortise chisel for comparison, which is ground flat.

I'm curious to know how each contestent has set up their latrines, both for hygiene and to reduce smell.

We haven't see a latrine across all 5 seasons yet.

Do they dig a big hole and add ashes and dirt each time?

It seems to be deliberately untalked about, surely proper latrines are an important part of any camp.

Any insights?

This subreddit needs some attention from someone with more design skill than myself.

It also needs more content!

I haven't been as active as I'd like in this sub recently but I wanted to share my notes from the recent RootsTech conference 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah that might be of interest to many of you.

Steve Rockwood, CEO of FamilySearch International had a speaking keynote which was great, but afterwards he welcomed questions from the audience on any topic. Obviously this had been publicised ahead of time because there were quite a few genealogy writers and journalists in the audience.

One women, Avril Erster, asked about the future of GEDCOM and what FamilySearch is doing to bring the industry into modern times. Here's my recorded notes from Steve's reply:

As you probably know, we [Fami

FYI, both individuals are long deceased. Thanks!

Just stumbled across this by accident...

Enjoy :)

FTDNA customers have been offered a deal on MyHeritage (currently around $88/year) , with a price lock-in.

I've never used MH, but I'm skeptical of the value over Ancestry, FMP and FamilySearch.

What's your opinion on their record set and value?

Edit: Thank you everyone. I'll save my money for another service. I suspect MH wants to move into DNA testing now and is trying to lock-in research subscriptions while they can.

If you have a Newspapers.com account, I'd be very thankful if you could share a copy of this page scan:

If I keep coming up against this source, I'll buy a subscription, but it doesn't make sense for just the one record.

Thanks in advance!
