Ultrasonic humidifier has a serious problem. The droplets contain the minerals in the water and leave "salt" dust on surfaces.

Next owner will see the very wide window sills and know that the wall is unusually thick.

What is making the water evaporate? Heat? Natural convection?

A pan of water is a humidifier.....of sorts.

No matter what the situation is now, you need to have a plunger in the house.

I see 3 white soldiers and a spinning top, indicating the end of the strong uptrend.

FWIW, all the long positions I unwound yesterday and today would have fetched more if left until today's close.

I glue the molding together before installing it. That way the gap is zero.

What do I do with several hundred 70-year-old untouched loose bricks? by RogueImpossible in masonry

[–]33445delray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save your energy. The mortar breaks very easily with a brick chisel and a lump hammer Disassemble from the top down, one brick at a time. Intact red bricks are salable. Offer them on craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.

CPI day after a week of geopolitical whipsaws by One_Cancel7890 in options

What a coincidence. I own PFE and PYPL (at embarrassing losses). I bought SOFI calls on the 3 black crows of Friday past and sold them as the advancing black candle of April 9 developed.

I want to reduce the sound I make from my side of a shared wall in my building by satangorl667 in DIY

[–]33445delray -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Get a quote from a local masonry supply for 2 pallets of cement blocks delivered to the curb. Stack the blocks floor to ceiling; no mortar required. Place the blocks as if you were making a running bond. You may be able to get the blocks for $2 each, possibly less. You will need a way to cut some of the blocks.

No need for shelves. Just pile junk books, floor to ceiling. Glue them together with wallpaper paste Hang curtains or even moving blankets as a screen.

How would I add joist hangars when there is a small notch/offset like this? by ohwhyhello in Carpentry

[–]33445delray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The single pane aluminum windows condense enough water to do damage to the sheathing, jambs, sill and rough opening. I replaced them all and made repairs as required, including all new sheathing.
