It would need to be cut into strips and stapled into place. One $20 roll can cover up to 200 to 400 square feet, which would be more than enough for the standard deck.

If you’ve repaired or replaced decks before, you’ll likely have noticed that the fasteners and the ends of the joists usually rot due to moisture damage first. The butyl flashing tape not only protects the joists, it also makes the joists less noticeable from above. Protecting Joists From RotĬomposite decking manufacturers recommend applying deck flashing to the tops of joist to protect them as well as the screw holes from moisture damage which will eventually rot the screw fasteners. This will allow you to hang the joist on the ledger or rim joists while you toenail or set a joist hanger. Hanging JoistsĪ handy trick for making sure your joists are level with the rim joists or ledger is to attach a strip of wood to the top of each end of the joist, overlapping each end of the joist by a few inches. Unless they are severely water damaged, leave the old joists in place as supplemental support in addition to your new 16″ center joists. If you are updating a much older wooden deck, there’s a chance that the joists may be set 24 inches on center. ![]() If you are laying your boards on a 45 degree angle, you’ll want your joists spaced at 12 inches on center. The minimum recommended spacing for most composite deck joists is 16 inches on center. ![]() ![]() Jonze's screenplay was particularly acclaimed and has earned Jonze many Best Screenplay awards for 2013.Her is a 2013 sci-fi romantic dramedy film written and directed by Spike Jonze, starring Joaquin Phoenix and (the voice of) Scarlett Johansson note who was actually added to the film entirely in post-production the film was shot with the voice of Samantha Morton, but Jonze realized once editing began that her work was different from "what the character/movie needed" with Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde and Chris Pratt in smaller roles. The film was greatly praised for its direction, screenplay, production design, score, and the performances of Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara and Scarlett Johansson's vocal portrayal of Samantha. Her has received widespread critical acclaim. In 2013, Jonze directed his first solely written script: Her, which starred Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of Scarlett Johansson, and centered on a man who develops a relationship with an intelligent computer operating system (OS) with a female voice and personality. Though not satisfactory as both previous Jonze films, the film received moderately positive reviews from critics, but was a box office disappointment, due to its relatively large budget of $100 million. After a 7-year break from filmmaking, Jonze returned with the 2009 fantasy drama Where the Wild Things Are, which combined live action, performers in costumes, animatronics and computer-generated imagery. The film achieved critical acclaim, and once again was a commercial satisfaction, in addition to being nominated for numerous Oscars and Golden Globes, and winning a BAFTA for best adapted screenplay. Jonze and Kaufman repeated their collaboration in 2002 with the semi-autobiographical comedy-drama Adaptation, which starred Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep. The film was a huge critical success that enforced Jonze's artistic career, and was also a commercial success, grossing $32 million over its $13 million budget.

She also struggled with how much skin people felt was acceptable to show, but now she says confidence is her only gospel. This is a big change for Eilish, who said in the interview that her body is her “deepest insecurity” and was the initial reason for her depression when she was younger, which led to her wearing baggy clothes.Įilish said she wanted to explore the beauty of corsets, which she said she knew would rile people, but was also drawn to their original restrictive function. “She is indulging a fantasy by embracing a ‘classic, old-timey pin-up’ look,” the magazine said. If you feel like you look good, you look good.” If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, fuck it. “If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. “It’s all about what makes you feel good,” the “Bad Guy” singer told the magazine. ![]() The photographs are reminiscent of those taken of Marilyn Monroe and other 1940s and 1950s pin-ups, and Eilish explains that’s what she was going for when she came up with the idea for the shoot.

I can only hope that, if I do my job as a parent correctly, my children will be repeating "good FOR you" long after I'm gone, even if they have no idea why or where it came from.It seems almost everyone has a Christopher Walken impression they can bust out, and given that actor’s distinct tone and cadence, it’s a fun one to do. These four seconds (were they in a trailer? Have I actually seen this movie and wiped it from memory? I honestly don't know!) have sustained me for more than a decade, and will only worm their way deeper and deeper into my frontal lobe the older I get. Still, I don't need to see the rest of the film. Maybe I'll find it while channel-flipping and resign myself to giving it a shot. Do they know what I'm talking about? Probably not. Someone says "good for you" and my brain cannot help but respond "good FOR you" - sometimes internally, and sometimes, when I'm with friends and family who have grown to tolerate my insufferable eccentricities, aloud. At this point in my life, they've become a reflex for me. To say I have spent years haunted by these four words, repeated and iterated upon just three times, would be an understatement. Who talks like this? Why is there the faintest hint of a question at the end of this repetition? Are these congratulations really as benevolent as they seem? In just three small words, a world of unsettling possibilities has opened up, whether we're ready for them or not. Simply by stressing the preposition, the whole mood has shifted, and we find ourselves in strange new territory. This is Walken doing an impression of someone doing an impression of him. "Good FOR you (?)" - And here we are at the crux of the matter. Whatever congratulations were initially called for are evidently important enough to bear not only repeating, but accentuation! It's not just "good," it's "GOOD." How deep does this rabbit hole go? I don't know why the "man" in question (I think it's Ben Stiller, but honestly that's not important) is being congratulated, but he's evidently done something worth commending, and who better to do so than Christopher Walken, looking like he left his bindle stick and can of beans back at the railyard? Color me intrigued. "Good for you, man." - Here we have the basic framing and set up. ![]() Let me break down why the simple recitation of "good for you" is so meaningful to me.

Nevertheless, even though I've never actually seen the movie, and really only took the minimal time and effort to figure out what it's about for the purpose of writing this blog, that four-second clip has been seared into my brain for years. Why was the movie such a dud? It might have something to do with the fact that, per a Wikipedia summary I just read, it's a feature length film about a guy who gets rich inventing a spray that makes dog shit disappear. Despite starring both Ben Stiller and Jack Black at the height of their Hollywood prowess, 2004's Envy was a massive flop, earning back less than half of its $40 million budget, and securing just one award nomination: a Razzie for "Worst Actor," which Stiller ultimately lost to George W. I'll admit that I've never seen the film this clip is from - and, from what I understand, most other people haven't either. |
