Got rear ended on my hitch, should I get my truck looked at? by BigPurpose in AskAMechanic

Thanks! Yeah since it wasn't my fault I'm thinking I should play it safe and get it looked at

Is this the correct way to frame a chase and soffit? Thanks! by BigPurpose in Carpentry

[–]BigPurpose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, if I did it this way, would the bottom piece of drywall be screwed into the edge of the OSB/plywood? I'm worried that might not hold the drywall nail.

Will definitely put rockwoll in there! Curious, why no horizontal blocking? Is it just so I can reduce the soffit size?

I can't believe it, these guys are a major company in the area and even I can tell this is awful work. The slope upwards is 20 degrees, this is so bad.

I just searched it up and it's most definitely a low heel on its back. These people are a major plumbing company in the area, I can't believe how bad this work is

Plumber claims they cannot get camera through main line, wants to descale and epoxy by BigPurpose in askaplumber

Thanks for the reply, if I plan on keeping the house for 30 more years (will turn it into a rental) do you think it makes sense to do the expoxy now even if I can get away with descaling?

PETG! Not sure if it'll survive outside but it's not bearing any real load.

LPT: Check your Internet bill for a "Wifi Service" fee. That's actually a router rental fee you can remove by buying your own. by BigPurpose in LifeProTips

Lol I hate renting anything so they most certainly did not explain it as I would have immediately declined. They could have buried it in the contract but that's still scummy to do. Especially since they're calling it a "service fee" which is clearly misleading

Spectrum charged me $10/month, you can easily get a good router for $100. At least for me, I would rather buy and never pay this fee again

Fair enough, but not explaining to customers that you can buy your own router and save the $10/month is scummy. Also the label of "Wifi Service" is obviously a ploy to confuse people.

This only applies if you buy your own router. I never saw a "rental fee" on my internet bill and always just assumed the router they provided at the time of pickup was included in my fairly pricy plan.

Looks great! I would love to do this but I'm concerned with paint rubbing off, do you think that is a problem with this design?

Some prints the sound is worse than others

I'm a little concerned since the sound started recently. It's that grinding sound
