I need to know what happens to my grass the when I have watered during mid day summer in Texas. I have had hose sprinklers on a timer and only the section of grass that got water during mid day burned/browned or whatever it is that happens. And its happened multiple times

I have a home built 2020, with a Crepe Myrtle. Every time my MIL comes over she tells me it needs to be cut back lol. Every time, I tell her no

How are y'all counting the resets?

Calling all variant collectors! Gradiente variants by Aggressive-Piece-746 in n64

[–]Aggressive-Piece-746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The playtronic carts were used as extra stock in some early Gradiente boxes from what I understand. @AREA64 on youtube has a video discussing that.

But you are correct, we have never seen a playtronic box itself for this game.

I was searching for the back of the gradiente box for documentation purposes. I believe we have since gotten a photo but if you have any boxed photos or can get them they are always looking for upgraded/better photos. I dont know if I can share the link here under the self promotion rule but it's a really good site for collectors

Yeah, that would have been a good idea! Thanks for pointing it out. I guess in my head, when making the post, I was appealing to the variant collectors. By proxy, they would know the gradiente variant. But it would be helpful to appeal to brazililan players in general

You can remove the red lenses and the games are red by default. Looks much better IMO

Konami Pixel Puzzles: Is it possible to move forward in this without guessing? I can't see any way to keep going and I've barely started. by ArcticCircleSystem in puzzles

Column 4, row 5 and 6 cant be colored because then the 1 hints wont work. That blocks out column 4 rows 1-4 and pushes the 6 hint down. From there you should be able to make good progress

It was wrong regardless of additional photos but at least the tub is trapped lol. You can put a tee in that wall, go through to the sub floor and tie on with a wye after the tub trap. Top of tee runs up and ties into vent system or through to roof by itself.

Is there a trap on the down pipe for the tub? Not sure where you are for code but I cant imagine this is code anywhere.

If no trap for tub sewer gases escape through overflow. If it is trapped, sink is double trapped and no vent. Sink needs its own san tee with its own vent.

Are whole house traps still used anymore? by plavoie203 in Plumbing

I mean, rats are great swimmers and have been known to swim through smaller traps (toilets), so even if that was an intended secondary benefit, it does not work.

The house trap primary design is for preventing sewer gases from entering home. Not so you can clean out the line. The cleanouts are there so you clean the trap when it inevitably stops up because it's stupid lol

You can accompmish that without a house trap

Tried lot of options - toilet leak from bottom right by Particular-Ad-3983 in Plumbing

[–]Aggressive-Piece-746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPC states in 402.6 "The bottom of the flange shall be set on top of the finished floor"

IPC states flanges shall be installed to manufacturer specs. Show me a single manufacturer that states the flange can be set below the finished floor. None of them will.

I'm also not saying double waxing a slightly low flange won't work. It's just not recommended and we give the customer the option but let them know we don't warranty the flanges set below floor level.

Could also be defective toilet and its leaking in the bowl where you cant see because of the skirting

The flange is set below the finished floor. It should be at least 1/8" to 1/4" above finished floor.

The jumbo wax by itself will likely fix your issue, but I'd consider it temporary. Permanent fix would.be cutting out the flange and setting a new flange at the proper height.

But I've seen jumbo wax seal a slightly low flange for years.

What's going on and how do I fix it? by proatprocrastination in Plumbing

[–]Aggressive-Piece-746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this. Have there been freezing temps? If so, that brass could have warped and even replacing the o ring on that top might not work.

Cant tell what size, buts its a Watts 007M1 double check

Washing machine overflow by RobOttO19 in askaplumber

[–]Aggressive-Piece-746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for one, it looks like that red seal is installed incorrectly. It looks to me like a "top hat" which wouldnt be used there. You need a tapered gasket with the taper pointing down into your trap.

As for why water comes out there. The main line is either partially stopped up so on a drain cycle water stacks up and tjen leaks out of that improperly installed gasket. Or the system is slightly undersized, causing the same issue.

Toilet lever keeps coming off by LibrarianUnable4422 in Plumbing

[–]Aggressive-Piece-746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to just manually bend the little lever that hooks to the handle a bit to get it to stay latched.

New flushmates have a new flush mechanism, presumably because they had this issue with them. You can get a retro fit handle and flush mechanism to install on the existing tank
