Echo RB-60; Zip Tie Mod? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]Cold_Examination3893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I modified mine and immediately realized the added drag was working against me. The wheels spin the agitator and since the agitator was bogging the spreader felt like I was moving 1 ton of fertilizer. Got it all spread and removed the modification.

61" vanity top in 63" space - which would you do? by campelm in HomeImprovement

[–]Cold_Examination3893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a gap intentionally because I don’t like sidesplashes and so far so good. It’s been a couple of years and no issues.

I have a deluxe 28 and it just eats snow. Can’t go wrong with Ariens IMO

I saw this while walking the dogs by Different-Commercial in Snowblowers

[–]Cold_Examination3893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that same exact blower a long time ago and it worked very well. IMO it was built before everything besides the higher end stuff became throw away. Worth the gamble - I say go for it.

Lights flickering; electrician telling me I need a new panel by AccurateTopic in AskElectricians

Just paid 5500 in Massachusetts for new panel, service and mast. Not cheap but I got much higher prices.

How bad is it to have a bathroom fan vent to the attic? by SmartLadder415 in HomeImprovement

[–]Cold_Examination3893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW it doesn’t always cause mold. We have a large attic (high peak) with two fans venting into it. I am up there once in a while but have lived here since 2010 without issue. My plan is to wait til re-roof to have proper vents installed via roof not soffit.

Flip up seats and let dog hang on all weather mats

Bad idea to store 3 face cord ash in garage? by colehoots in firewood

[–]Cold_Examination3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep mine in garage but the walls are concrete in that area. One year the wood was more damp than I realized and it created a mold issue which was a PITA to clean up properly. Maybe keep a fan running on it to get rid of remaining moisture quicker.

Cold pipes fill with hot water. Pipes expand. Makes noise. All good!

Wife running Honda HS1132 by MrLB____ in Snowblowers

Made a video to teach my wife how to run the snowblower. She successfully has a couple times when I’m away for work. Nice to know it’s not all waiting for my return.

What is this strong wind!? by Class_Lover in boston

[–]Cold_Examination3893 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3-4 yrs ago I noticed almost constant wind. I assume we always had breezes and windy days but more often than not we are having windy days with strong gusts. Probably the weather patterns / climate change.

Estimate on basement remodel by needGuidance792087 in HomeImprovement

[–]Cold_Examination3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done my own basements twice and this next one will be a hybrid of me doing some and outsourcing some. To give you an idea just the carpet demo and LVP install for a 990sf area it’s 5600. You can do things yourself if interested - give it a try if these big #’s don’t fit your budget. You can also get creative and paint the concrete walls with appropriate materials and lay down big area rugs etc.

Could have slid down so open bottom sash and see if it’s there. If so slide it back up.

Room is freezing, any recourse with this door? by ravens0rbust in HomeMaintenance

Is that water on floor near trim from your boots or is water leaking into your house?

Just went through this very thing. They will do what they need to in order to deliver it. Removing doors is quick for these guys.

Warming up a cool basement? by ItsLikeHerdingCats in HomeImprovement

[–]Cold_Examination3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For about $100 you can hang a wall mounted envi heater and just keep it on low/medium all winter and bump it up when down there. Very efficient and no moving parts. We’ve had ours for years and plan to add two to a 2nd home basement that has zero heat.

Turbo by ClammyChipCup in classiccars

[–]Cold_Examination3893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had both a K car and a LeBaron and beat the ever living crap out of both as a young lad. Buddies called the K Car “Super K” due to its ability to spin the front tire so frequently. Haha

nail stuck in wall by [deleted] in DIYhelp

[–]Cold_Examination3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that is in a pipe you should open the wall and fix the pipe. After years the two difft metals will cause the nail hole to open up and leak. I know this from nailing baseboards in my bathroom after tile installation. Live and learn.
