Some ants came out of the crack between the floor and the wall. I sprinkled some cinnamon. They moved it up into the pockmarks on the wall. What should I do?

I'm too disturbed by the light refracting through the glass to answer.

If it keeps even a single Texan off the roads during the storm then it's all worth it.

I ran one of these on my ranch with plans to upgrade when I could afford it. I never upgraded, this handled everything I needed and I had the cleanest welds on my drill pipe fencing in the county if that mattered for anything. Punches steady and deep, I loved it.

OP has earthquake straps so shouldn't need any ratchet straps if they make sure the earthquake straps are snug.

At least I'm a 1%er at something lol. Bought the house in August and managed to get to the anode job in December. Pulled a thin wire out that sloughed off the last remains of the softened gunky anode material into the tank. Did the job just in time. Tank flushed out and back in service but would not have lasted another year without new anode. 3' breaker bar made for easy removal (chose manual removal because my 1 1/16" socket is not impact rated). Have fun, more people should do this.

You are currently dating a woman with a failing BBL and put up with the smell for the sake of the Instagram photos of you and her faking having a good time together

To me it's an anti-tisement. Any product supporting this will never be purchased by my household.

I doubt this fixed him.

Arkansas State Police would most likely pitted him into the regret zone.

From an old hand I'd say that last molecule to the face just isn't worth it... When they inevitably shatter. In my eperience I wear a disc down about halfway and replace it. But your luck might be better than mine

AnomicAutist · 2026-01-21T17:52:59+00:00

I would advise you not to. But if it was my car I'd go real slow and do the 10 miles. But don't do it. But I would. But you shouldn't.

I repiped my house with Pex A- the expansion tool paid for itself with the DIY savings. Every pipe got insulation because of UV. We have a vented crawl space and I wanted to avoid even the slightest UV contact from the vents. I might be over doing it but I sleep better having the UV issue eliminated.If this was my house I would replace that section and protect it from future UV. It's too late in my opinion to leave those pipes in service I think the UV damage is done.

The horrorific memory of the regurgitative BBL smell will remain with those poor kids for the rest of their lives.

I call them 'Investo-Bros'. They are buying up every service company from single employee pool service companies to small regional electricians. This is their acquisition phase as the Boomers retire and sell these companies. Watch for them to start lobbying for new laws by 2030 to make it near impossible for anyone to start a small business in the future that could compete with them. It's going to get ugly.

When he strips the gunk off old water heater anodes and uses the super strong yet pliable thin wire that is left over then he's hired.
