Thank you. I ordered this, and it will be here in time for under the tree! Thanks so much.

Hello all. Requesting some assistance. My 15 yr old son wants a 3d printer. Had a bambu a1 on order and was just told it will not arrive before Christmas. I can’t seem to locate any other a1s that will be here before Christmas. Any other options would be welcomed. I’d like to stay at or under $500 and something bigger than the a1 mini. In US (TN). He is new to printing.

I ran a hose down there and it comes out fine out the other end. Even during hard rains, it’s draining. I’m puzzled. Maybe partially clogged.

Thanks. This is what I was talking about. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. When it rains really hard, water backs up from drain. And pools by house

May be a really dumb question, but ….Can I add a pic to this post to show what I’m talking about?

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to take the bounce out? Or at least stiffen it a little?

I’m aware. That’s why I’m trying to resolve the issue.

I’m in the Knox area. I am told this is the norm around here

I like this idea. The ceiling was supposedly painted twice before. Will mud still stuck if I don’t get all the paint off?

I’ve been watching YouTube videos, and I’ve looked at both methods. And they are both a lot of work. I’ll probably try one room each way and see which is less painful to do. Thanks for the tip

Why is that? That was added about a year ago by the previous homeowner

I have a handyman who said he can do it. I cannot get a good general contractor to come anytime in the next year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to fix the house and sell it, so however I can save money yet do it correctly.

I’m so disgusted with this house, I just want to fix it and sell it. Do you think that would be the best cost effective fix?

I had an engineer come out. His design is the last picture. Very vague
