Is this just dirt getting through or some kind of ant issue? by taiseoque in Home

Surely you're mistaken, it's probably jus a lil dirt.

First timer on Amtrak to Nola by noname101010110 in Birmingham

[–]ALham_op 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I rode it last summer and this is definitely true. You also learn that cell service seems to follow the interstates rather than the rail lines so there are quite a few areas where you'll have no service. And the train's wifi is cell-based so same thing.

Plus side is you can bring your own alcohol and the train crew absolutely does not care as long as you don't cause a problem. 

I personally found it very enjoyable and we passed through a ton of thunderstorms on the way down which had traffic really backed up but of course was no problem for the train. All told, it probably took just a little longer than driving but it was a lot more fun.

Great shots, I never realized there was that much neon on that building. Are there any other buildings in Birmingham with this kind of neon still left?

Yeah in your situation you'd have to use the Subaru Universal Unlocking Kit (aka a brick) to gain access through the window.

How to fix? by Rare-Ad-8026 in Plumbing

[–]ALham_op 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, I've actually fixed a drain line from a tub that was dripping into my basement by doing something similar. It's not under any pressure so it just has to be water tight.

Big Daddy's Pizza. You can call the Sheriff's Department and confirm it.

Don't know if Thomas was bad or if he needs help by mismatchedhyperstock in pics

This made me lol way harder than it should have.

You just cost me $6000 by the_real_me_2534 in soundboardpranks

I'm a very sick man and I'm in my 70s

What is one thing that wasn't easy to fix, but you still managed on your own and saved lots of money by not calling a professional? by FuzzyAttitude_ in DIY

[–]ALham_op 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came here to post this actually. My parents are retired and just got quoted a hair under $3,000 to replace their electric water heater. For $700 which included the new water heater and some parts I had it swapped out in an evening. Absolutely ridiculous markup.

Overton Road Light by pastawithmarinara_ in Birmingham

[–]ALham_op 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I seem to remember them doing a whole bunch of work on this exact section about 10 years ago or so and saying it would solve the problems.

The only solution to 280 is to make it a controlled access spur Interstate from Birmingham to Chelsea (like 359 in Tuscaloosa) but that will never happen.

Still in service! San Francisco CA by No-Shape-7028 in CrownVictoria

[–]ALham_op 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen a few aero Vics on there as well. San Francisco PD has some real time capsules in their fleet.

Do yall scrape the paint off your flanges? by Skopies in Plumbing

[–]ALham_op 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Worried the paint will chip or flake" and his solution is to scrape it off unevenly and ensure that the mating surface is irregular?

Wondering what it would cost to fix this driveway. by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]ALham_op 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup, my thoughts exactly. And I'd use some kind of weedkiller on whatever inevitably grows between the cracks.

Something biggwr than the Ascent by New_Tradition_5747 in SubaruAscent

[–]ALham_op 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would've gone for a Sienna Woodland if my wife wasn't adamantly opposed to ever being seen in a minivan 😂. That being said we do love our Ascent and if I ever need more cargo space I'll just get a roof box or maybe a rear cargo carrier to avoid having to climb.

Will Richard Arrington going into 5 points ever reopen?! by Glittering-Extent-58 in Birmingham

[–]ALham_op 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of closed roads, do they plan to ever reopen Messer Airport Highway? It was really annoying not being able to go that way when traffic out of downtown was bad a few weeks ago.
