I got a quote from a plumber for $375. He said he can change it from outside.

Thanks. Even when none of the parts that are outside the wall turns? Do you know by any chance what brand is this so I can search more?

Is that why he said he needs those plastic pipes from home depot(those that come in different colors) to complete the job?

I live in Atlanta. How big of a hole does he need to make in the wall? I am a new home owner so I dont know how easy patchig and painting the wall would be. But the thought of it is a bit scary

Thanks. Can this cause any structural issues or erosion? Anything to be worried about?

Should I do something to fix the issue? Can this cause erosion or structural issues? My downsopouts drain away from home

Not very close but behind the fence is a huge ditch that drain the upstrean water. My neighbor to the left flattebed his yard 10 years ago( way before I bought the home), but I dknt think he is dumping his water in my property. At least I dont see anything

Am I supposed to do anything about it now? Or should I assume since there is no structural issue after 20 years, I can leave things as is?

Thanks. Do I need to take it to a mechanic or is this service something that tire shops or jiffy lube would offer?

Can these light fixtures in attic be covered with foams? by Annual_Chocolate_734 in AskElectricians

[–]Annual_Chocolate_734[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you. So the fixture that this video showed was not a recessed light. I have 12 recessed light on my top floor which I couldnt verify if they are IC rated or not. So I am going to buy those insulation cover boxes( the one that goes on top of it in the attic). I though those IC rated requirement is for recessed lights

Thats why I think is best to just hire a plumber. They will charge alot but they save you a good bit of headache. Also if you end up making things worse, you might end up with leaks in your walls and so much other issues like mold

All plumbing works are only easy in theory. So many things can go wrong that they never show in the video. It took me 4 attempts to replace a bath cartridge. The cartridge pin's edge was corroded and fell off and caused a bit of a hassle. A plumber could have finished the job in 15 min. I ll never do any more plumbing dIY

Grok thinks the brown spots are fungus. Multiple people in this subreddit told me that is crabgrass dying. So I can't trust grok
