"Important?" I'm not naming my kids after it.

It looks like stacked 2x4s. I would consider removing the outermost 2x4s, then lag-screwing a pair of 1" steel perforated tubes horizontally spanning the wall studs. Then you can attach any sized mount you need to the steel tubing.

Ideally, you'd do that too for the same reason. But since nothing will (rather should not) sit of the end of the post, you could cut it at a bevel to let the water run off. But taping would be a nice detail. And beveling + tape would be insanely cool.

I love you. I mean, nice job.

The main enemy of wood is water. Water will sit on horizontal surfaces and decrease the wood's lifespan. The butyl tape protects the most vulnerable part of the wood.

A friend of mine does a GI Joe podcast, and he recently mentioned there was a White House Chef who looked like Roadblock. Guess this is him.

On a long enough timeline, everything will happen. What you really want to know is, will you be alive when it happens.

Yes. Out all the billions of people on this planet, you alone prefer those colors. Congratulations. You are special.

Also: in addition to the leftovers, my friends and I own a grocery store and instead of money, I also give you store credit at my grocery store.

I think she did it when she went full ninja after all the mutants on Krakoa got murdered.

I don't know what I was expecting, but wow. That looks nice.

I agree that attaching to the brick is not advisable. I'd consider changing the gate's layout to swing off of a post on the other side.
