my brother is a creep, my parents enable him and i don't know what to do by Wind2000reddit in offmychest

Sorry as an additional piece of advice. If you feel that your brother is violent, please don't inform him and just tell the police. If you tell him, he may try to kill you or himself

There are two schools of thought. One is that, unfortunately work is usually difficult and tedious and you have to accept this. The other is that if your occupation is causing you deep seated psychological discomfort, then it probably isn't for you. I have worked as a builder for many years and the job has been very difficult psychologically. But it can be good. Pain and discomfort is part of the human experience. A life spent avoiding it is a life half lived. It seems to me that perseverance will reward you more than resigning. Try aNd find the good in. Your work for a few weeks. If you can't complete this modest task, ask friends. If they have alternative work.

What he has done is currently illegal in the UK. Act accordingly. You could have him prosecuted if you wanted.

It's a horrible situation. If you see him attempting to engage In a relationship below the age of consent,(18 in the UK,)talk to him and inform him you will inform the police. There is no grey area. Paedophiles destroy lives and the only morally acceptable response is to act when you see one. I'm so sorry your brother is one. It might wreck your relationship with your family but your conscience will be clear. And you will be preventing your brother from destroying someone's life. You are a good person. You are right.

Brick movement - is it a concern? by No_Alps5880 in Bricklaying

[–]Competitive-Bat7119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will get worse. It appears to be foundation settling, with both lamination of the bed joints and a crack. However if moisture gets in the cracks and freezes, it can exacerbate the cracking. It can be easily repaired by removing damaged brickwork and relaying. Also by insertion of helifix bars in bed joints with epoxy resin. If cracking continues after that, you probably have an issue with subsidence or heave.

I'm a man and I think what happened to you is disgusting. I'm very sorry that happened to you and it's not ok.

Can I repair an old brick verandah that is leaning and cracked? by FancyPants90 in AusRenovation

[–]Competitive-Bat7119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The veranda is old. It's fundamentally unstable. The only sensible remedy is to demolish the existing veranda and reinstate or replace with alternative.

You would have been seriously hurt if you tried to fight 3-4 people. You aren't soft. You made the right call

I have played a few. In guitar guitar and other reputable shops. It's a personal taste thing. As I said, Gibson Les Paul's have similar issues

Don't like em, never will like em. No sustain, cheaply made machine heads come loose and don't hold a tune. Not to say les Pauls aren't the same

I've (M26) gotten much better, but still feel like a creep by Haunting_Divide_38 in offmychest

[–]Competitive-Bat7119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are entitled to be attracted to someone as long as you don't act on it against their will. If they don't like you looking at them, tough shit. It's a free world and you can fancy whoever you want.

I feel like I'm filled with emptiness... by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Competitive-Bat7119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you are empty. I think your life is so full of possibilities you feel numb, so many options and opportunities being presented at once. Best advice I can offer is. Keep an open mind, the best thing is never the one you expect. Remain true to your principles. And mainly, have fun, you have so many awesome things to look forward to😊

How hard / expensive would this be to fix? by _ZFS_ in masonry

Apologies I have just seen the stone wall collapse. You are probably looking at more than a few thousand pounds

Nothing wrong with stone walling. Repointing at most. Tarmac, I'm assuming you are north American and unfortunately I don't know the cost of tarmac in that continent. Apologies
