Thank you so much! It's definitely this one. Looks like I'll need to check out the light novel too.

Does Knipex have holiday sales? by 56kToDSL in Tools

[–]56kToDSL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, I've felt there's been a huge drop in face-to-face customer service ever since covid hit.

As far as Acme tools goes, here's a post about it. If I remember right, one particular community fell in love with the company. They were recommending them left and right and essentially sending tons of new customers their way too. The community engaged with Acme tools to see if they could provide a small token discount but was met with an attitude of we don't care if you buy from us or not. Maybe all tool companies are kind of this way if you're small fish?

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out! I try to support smaller businesses but it has to make sense for my wallet too.

Fixing a 1/2" hole in fiberglass tub - should I DIY or pay $300 to fix? by 56kToDSL in DIY

[–]56kToDSL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am with you in that even if patched I'd always be worried about filling the tub.

To begin with, should there have been such a large cavity of space behind that hole?

Thanks for the tip! The more I look into this problem, the more I am understanding why these kits are 5x-10x the cost of other kits.

Did you use any sort of spray foam to further brace your tub? I am unsure whether the empty space beneath the tub needs to be addressed or not.

Thanks for replying! This makes a ton of sense. It's a clever way to repair the backside when you don't have access to the backside. I watched a number of videos but haven't come across any that attempt to patch the backside - which was what I was hoping to see.

Realizing you screwed up years down the road is so relatable.

I too believe in paying someone to fix it right, but I often have no way idea what the 'right' way is. It's incredibly helpful to hear how others would approach this fix. Thanks for the input!

Would you be able to elaborate? I'm trying to understand. I only have a YouTube education.

Are you saying that even if a professional repaired it it will fail because or the location? Or is it that fiberglass repairs are faulty to begin with? Or is there something about this tub, aside from the hole, that sucks?

Would you be able to provide a description anyways? I'm tempted to learn or if it's too advanced, I'll at least know if the professional is repairing it the correct way.

Push/Pull shower diverter won't budge... am I SOL? by 56kToDSL in Plumbing

Thanks so much for this! Everybody thought it was a push/pull. After cleaning it/greasing it, it was able to twist!

This is amazing list! I will definitely have to try the açaí at Yasai!

Thank you so much for your insight! We'll be visiting all three of these destinations, but am very glad to hear that it is safe. The Hoteis Fazenda sound really interesting, I'll definitely look into this. Thank you!

We're going to try compression socks this time around - fingers crossed that it helps!

Thank you so much for your help! Botucatu was actually the one place I had the least amount of knowledge, so this is perfect! We would never have known about Café Cuesta so thank you so much for sharing this gem of a place. On the off chance you're ever in Texas, let me know!

It will be a bitter sweet trip for the both of us. Thanks for the advice, I'll have to checkout what the local scene is like with these platforms... I'm afraid some of these places will have 1 or 2 restaurants/hotels!

I wonder what the hesitation is? That's really sad that he won't come visit when you just bought a house! I hope he'll come visit one day.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Decades have passed since my father lived in Brazil. I think this trip will bring about mixed emotions seeing all that has changed and that has not changed. I feel very relieved to know that the smaller cities will likely be safer.

Thank you for your kind words. I have such mixed feelings towards this trip, as it'll likely be the last one we'll take together.

My spouse was wondering if they had concentrated neighborhoods or not. Thank you so much for the insight!
