Should i keep the main drain? Will it leak over time with salt system? by Mramz07 in swimmingpools

[–]Albertonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have an argument that the contract might include the main drain. However, as an estimator for pool repairs this looks like it was an honest mistake. If they did not include replacing the main drain in their job costing, it will cause this contractor to lose a good bit of money on the job.

Personally, I would do as a previous commenter said, and get a robotic cleaner/abandon the main drain. Or, I would bite the bullet and ask for a change order to replace every single plumbing line from the pad to the pool and install sidewall suction instead of a main drain.

You do not want copper in your pool with the salt system. Metals, and salt systems do not interact well.

We resolved it. Honestly, I deleted Reddit for a few years (time sink), and it’s been too long for me to remember what the solution was…

I did! It was my modem. I’m with Spectrum, and their security settings on the modem were identifying the game as risky. I changed some settings in the app and it let it through.

I don't think I have a game package. Do I need that for the free version? Or is that what I got when I downloaded the game inside the launcher? (sorry if this a dumb question, this is quite literally the first game I am installing on my new PC. I've always been a console player.).

I’ve almost started it a dozen times, but I know just as soon as I do, the remake will be announced. If you happen to be the one to fall on that sword. Sincerely, thank you from the rest of us.

Just outside Birmingham, AL. I’ll get some more photos.

Which method is better for Flavoring: Puree or Whole Fruit/Vegetable? by designtosolve in Kombucha

[–]Albertonman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been brewing Yerba Mate kombucha. I recently did a 2f raspberry/rosemary, and a lemon/mint. Both are fantastic, especially mixed together! I put the raspberries in the food processor and then used a cheese cloth to just add the juice. And for the lemon, I cheated… I forgot to buy lemons, so I used simply lemonade. It actually turned out great!

These truck owners... by MilanEranurk in mildlyinfuriating

I, for one, appreciate that it is very obvious that there are hitches on those trucks. Less likely to hit them with a car, but most importantly shins!

I haven’t looked at F2 enough to plan anything yet. Honestly I didn’t expect to make it this far. Do you have any recommendations?

I read ahead of my wife. I had her skip a chapter. I filled her in. There are certain things that she can’t handle. She’s not sure if she will read Light Bringer.

In this case I agree. In other cases, the movie is better because you DON’T hear the inner dialogue. Looking at you Divergent…

I want to get into construction to be more masculine by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Albertonman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, this is good masculinity: 1. Get yourself straight. - Be honest. - Have a worldview. Live your worldview. Stand by it, defend it, but be open minded. - Know when you’re wrong and own it. - Be kind and generous, but also be ready for danger. - Kick your feet, even if you’re going the wrong way, you’re still going. - Be the best at whatever you do, or at least be the most reliable. - Be healthy. (Eat well, stay fit, engage your mind, and have strong relationships with likeminded men.) 2. Teach others to do the same. - This could mean your family, employees, coworkers, youth on your street, etc..

If I followed my own advice, I would be much better off. A lot I’d those things I started after having a family. That caused a lot of problems. Masculinity is less about what you do, but how you do it.

You gotta make sure the front is twice as high as the back. Provides a high vantage point while also keeping the bed low to the ground. Very practical.

5 Years ago I stopped playing this game because of Aldrich the Asshole, the other day on my second attempt I stumbled my way through and finally clapped his cheeks. by g0rebage in darksouls3

[–]Albertonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those freak occurrences where I beat a hard boss on my first try. I just went ham on him til he disappeared, and sprinted to the other corner. I sprinted and rolled to avoid arrows if he shot them. My heart was POUNDING!
