Clamp it so it lines up with the bottom flush with the cap on the angled knee wall and then scribe your lines… I install handrails. That is how you do it. (most quickly and accurately anyway). Then you cut one side. Move your clamps up to where your handrail is going to be placed and check to see if the other line you haven’t cut yet is where it needs to be…(your wall and that post might not be plumb or there might be some wowing going on).

Eyeball it to make sure the second cut is where it should be. The angle should be the same as your first cut (maybe a bit more or less but if everything is plumb then it will be the same). Then put your piece of wood up and mark for spindles… if there is a slight (like really small) gap between your cuts and the wall and post, when you attach it it should suck in and get pretty tight.. just use some wood filler if there are noticeable gaps.

I’m guessing both the post and wall have good attachment points (solid framing timber beneath drywall) if not then attach it to whatever has the most solid attachment point first and the weakest last.

Yo…

That doesn’t even look like a 2x4 to me - what are the dimensions of that piece of wood, you say 2x3? No way that is 2 inches deep.

Looks like strapping. Also any real important studs would typically not have the longer side against the drywall like that.

Again, measure it. What are the dimensions?

Doesn’t look like a stud. Even from the grain on the wood it looks like strapping.

lol

But what are you nailing? Those things are so round and skinny at the top, is that the part you’re nailing?

I work as a finish carpenter and most of the time I take contracts for a staircase company… So yeah, basically I do what you’re doing everyday.

I have a Milwaukee cordless brad nailer (18 gauge) and I’ve always just hit the balusters with 2 shots where I’ve cut the angle so it catches nice and firm into the handrail.

I do this on red oak handrails with red oak balusters.

But Looking at your picture now I’m confused..

are those the new ones? I’m confused as to where you need to nail anything, looks like those require a hole in the tread and a hole in the bottom of the rail to sit in. Usually with those i just squirt some PL into the hole on the handrail to prevent it from moving around.

They filed for bankruptcy in the United States.

Er. It’s not hazy at all.

It’s clear.

He violated his own terms of agreement and stole money from his clients to bankroll his other company - and himself.

Dude is going to jail. He’s up on 6 life counts. Sure, he wont get the most harsh sentence.

But he isn’t walking from this.

Just replace the fill valve. It’s super easy and some don’t even require tools. Takes like 10 minutes.

I’ve had this happen to a couple toilets and it sounds to me like your fill valve is failing.
