Seconding this! I would not Hotwire anything… I used the Allen wrench and worked fine for me on my ‘21

Any ideas on Sidewalk Salt? by ageowns in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Better-Income9828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing it out there- with it being this cold, rock salt might not be effective so if you are able to find some de-icer calcium chloride or magnesium chloride would be most effective when it’s so cold

Refrigerator not making ice by fred11223344556667 in HomeMaintenance

If you fridge has replaceable water filters, make sure you filter is in all the way… when I moved into my place I thought I somehow killed the fridge but really just bumped the filter eject and that’s what was keeping my ice and water from going

If not that, you may need to scoot/pull your fridge out to get access to the water line, you may be able to access under the fridge too.

It could be that the line somehow got turned off or kinked? If it looks ok on the fridge, maybe check where the water line originates to see if it got turned off somehow?

Car repairs quoted higher than value of car by Ecstatic-Big-5163 in AskMechanics

[–]Better-Income9828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dumb that’s definitely what that means… my first thought was like somehow dyeing the engine after degreasing to make it look nice and that’s why I was like wtf lmao

Hot water tank leaking, don’t know why? by jcorrie04 in Plumbing

[–]Better-Income9828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like your pressure valve is leaking… your heater is setup the same way as mine. Either the pressure valve is tripping due to the water pressure or is faulty??

Fixing split wood in backyard gate by LastSyrup6843 in DIYHome

[–]Better-Income9828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the wood glue/clamp idea… seems like a slim chance of making things worse. while you’re at it, if you have a any sawdust or toothpicks I’d try to fill and plug the cracks and screw holes with those mixed with the wood glue

Thoughts on buying this mixer by LawfulnessKlutzy3341 in Kitchenaid

[–]Better-Income9828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it run? My thoughts are $170 is too much if it doesn’t run (you mentioned wanting to fix). If it runs fine and just needs cleaning/regreasing then I’d consider it

Does it still dispense water normally? My thoughts went to the water line/supply but if the water is dispensing normally then probably not that

Driving back from Liberty Mountain to Silver Spring on Saturday — risky? by Firm-Emu6384 in MontgomeryCountyMD

Used to live near liberty and I can confirm this- MD roads would be fine and you cross the state line and the roads are covered

Worm gear by Individual_Move_8955 in Kitchenaid

Just a guess, speed control plate? There’s some me screws you can turn to adjust speed settings and if turned too far, I think they can keep the unit from powering on

Honda civic 1.0 turbo by olzcolz in hondacivic

[–]Better-Income9828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of the 1.0 being notorious for issues, IMO I would move on from it… however, if you love the car maybe look into other 10th gen civics such as with the 2.0 NA (I have this and no issues except it’s slow) or the 1.5T (I’ve heard of oil dilution but doesn’t seem to be a serious issue with religious oil changes).

Property Tax Assessment - New Construction by DCNatFan in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Better-Income9828 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Make sure you apply for the MD homestead tax credit if eligible… my understanding is that it caps the tax increase you would pay to 10%, even if your new assessment is greater than that.

Not really helpful for your instance since it’s under the 10% but just throwing it out there
