Sandbars liquify in quakes, and foundations crack. Friends on Treasure Island had some interesting photos of their place after the Loma Prieta quake in 1989.
I see small quakes happen in your neck of the woods......

PS
All things come to end, surf the board before your ability to use it ends. Besides, it can always be a wall hanger with dings, buckles, sinkers....stories are all we leave behind.
i'll keep you posted on the liquefying sand
In the meantime, I had that board made for me when i was 235 pounds. it's not really a great shape for my body size anymore, and its aesthetic and mental health benefits are best realized on the wall of my living room. I have a ton of boards that work just fine for the act of surfing
I derive immense joy from looking at that particular board any time I am in my living room. it's beautiful.

This was not the type of project where you don't pull permits. I've done more than a few of those.... This was more akin to building a house. No way we could have done it without going thru the permit/inspection process.

He shaped my first custom when I was in high school. Wish I had that one for a wall hanger. Would go well with my traditional red oak floors.
I need to decrease a door width by 6 inches. The door is part of a non-load bearing wall.
I also removed a pocket door - of course the part of the wall the door slid into had no framing.
I'm also increasing the size of a shower.
Where can i find a draftsman to draw that out so i can apply for the permits?

Non-load bearing, that's a job that does not need a permit. Just frame in a pre-hung door in the width you need, drywall in the gaps, mud, paint and you're done. Two weekend job max or call a handyman to knock it out in 3 days.
Why's that?
I'm a cheapskate who doesn't trust anyone. Especially contractors.
If I have the tools I do it myself.
Home, auto, ding repair.
Today I'm going to change my valve cover gasket.
You may very well be a content person, but living as you describe above sounds lonely and miserable. DIY is cool if you’re into that sort of thing, and I don’t trust every contractor either, but I generally give them a chance if the first meeting doesn’t set off any alarm bells. And being a cheapskate, well, that sounds miserable but probably accurate, given your persona on the forum.
do you use your phone calculator to figure out 15% of the pre tax Chili’s tab when you’re feeling magnanimous?

I’m hoping the answer is second cheapest stuff from Home Depot.
Why not get cheapest? I'm guessing it's your new subfloor and will be screwed to the joists anyway
Not getting screwed or glued to anything thus why it needs to stay relatively flat when cut.
some of it going into my truck. the scrap cut will become a garage work table on saw horses.
May be using 3/4”, not sure if that makes it better at staying flat. .
Why carpet???
Double layer of 1/4”, turning the top layer 90deg so the long seams aren’t parallel?
I'm no expert on the subject, but I believe hardwood plywood will warp less than cheaper softwood plywood. HW is probably double or triple the price, but it sounds like you only need a sheet or two. Temp and moisture changes will cause warpage, so lessen that if you can. There is something called marine grade plywood which sounds cool as fugg and may be an option if this will be exposed to the weather. Home Depot or Lowes should have some hardwood options. Just go pick out a flat sheet. Sometimes its referred to as cabinet grade plywood (I think). You'll see the difference immediately between cabinet grade and softwood that is used in home construction. The hardwood/cabinet grade stuff is usually further away from the registers as its sold in much lower volumes from the cheaper stuff.
Only 50% confident my info is correct.
PM Kento. I think he sells lumber. Or someone on this forum does.
