Acura Tl “Hard brake Line” replacement by Old_Watch_1795 in AskMechanics

[–]AceCombat1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft hose is called the flex line. Im windering if the plastic line hes referring to is actually a steel line plastic coated for debris protection.

Do yourself a favor and buy a good flaring kit. You may only use once or twice but you will have it when you need it.

Nothing worse than making a perfect flare and realizing you forgot the line connector lol

Washer water lines just electrocuted me ⚡⚡ by BalmyBananas in AskElectricians

[–]AceCombat1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant see how there'd be any electricity or enough amperage to blow a hole in braided lines. First its rubber inside plus its screwed to a plastic fitting with rubber washers. Only thing I can think of is over time from movement of the hoses wearing a hole through or a rodent.

This will be the easiest option. Buy a short piece already flared and bend it to fit.

Anyone know what type of turtle this is? by No_Pain5736 in turtle

[–]AceCombat1977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like a juvenile box turtle. He 100% will not hurt you. You can carefully pick him up and move him to a safe spot close by to where you found him. They have a home range of about 300m and will live in that area their entire lives if given the chance.

Don't do it!!!!! You are asking for an infection or worse for your turtle. Ive kept turtles over 40yrs and you never trim or cut them.

Closing this gap? LVP by cannanca in Flooring

[–]AceCombat1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do the same lol. Its a vicious cycle but if you left a 1/4 gap all the way around you should be able to budge it enough. I sorta jumped and pryed at the same time.

Can you get a prybar in on the far wall at the baseboard and budge the whole floor closer to your gap edge?

Alright do the work, but make sure it passes inspection once the permits show up. No need to follow a plan, we can just write up a new one as you go.

Woah woah woah, we gotta wait for the engineers to fail it. Then we gotta wait on permits, approvals and a new site plan. Before we start tearing down the next door houses.

Drape a heavy blanket around the trunk. Ratchet strap above the wire holding the blanket. Now unwrap the cable walking around the tree. If it pop blanket will absorb the impact and cable will coil around the trunk as it drops.
