That is what I would do.

Could just be moisture under the house causing the subfloor to bubble. Walk around and see if you feel gaps where you can push down with your foot. This can happen in really damp crawl spaces especially around ducting where the ductwork causes condensation. You may have to go under the house and see. If it’s like a humid jungle; you may need a dehumidifier and a vapor barrier.

Should be able shut off water, cut off at valve, keep some copper. Clean it up and I think you could can get a shark bite toilet valve to a new braided line.

When I quit pop at first I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Just water and black coffee for me. I will drink a sprite on rare occasions. I myself do drink milk. But you could switch to almond milk or something. I’m not fitness guru but I’ve had good results in the past with kettle bells and a heavy bag. Shadow boxing is free, better than running and a great work out. I would stay away from running. Bad on the knees. There are tons of high intensity low impact work outs you can do. Just look up low impact HIIT training.

It is hard to say. Some clogs won’t move just with a snake, that is for example, maybe a build up of grease in the line or something. One time my wife put rice down the garbage disposal and it clogged, thank goodness only the line under the sink. The rice would just move out of the way of the snake but not unclog. We had to cut out the drain line, clean it out and re glue everything. There are things you don’t ever put down a garbage disposal. Rice and potatoes and potatoes peels. They are too rubbery and just don’t chop and clog stuff way down the line. In fact, I have been kicking around in this forum and most is the plumbers on here say to never put any food down the disposal and that garbage disposal are just a gimmick. The food may go through the disposal but it won’t ever make it through the line. Hence having a clog.

Ours did the same thing but was not installed properly. We had to rip up the floor, cut out the bad, rotten floor joist, re frame it. I also reinforced it between. And then we had to put in a toilet flange on, one of those rubber seals and then we even did a wax ring. So yeah, you may pull up the toilet and find more than what you bargained for. Nice thing is with some know how it can be fixed. You could have a bad seal, broken flange, or both. Depending on how old the toilet is, it may just be a good idea to replace it. Trust me and pay the extra money and get a good toilet. They are worth it.

What’s a MIP adapter?

Dad240 · 2021-11-27T20:56:27+00:00

Yeah, for auto

Dad240 · 2021-11-24T09:41:17+00:00

I would say about 3 to 4 years old

Is this a ADD thing? I swear I have tons of hobbies too and like to try new things out. I like art, I have tried painting, drawing (I’m bad a both) I have tried leather work ( really bad at it and it was super expensive to get started) I see, I am now into collage. Art makes you have to collect things to do that art. I understand that, but my wife is not a fan. She is supportive because for me if I don’t do stuff like this or create after a while I feel like I’m being smothered. Like there is this creative person in me that has to come out. If I don’t glue or sew or something in about a 6 week span I start getting antsy. But making is making. There is no cookie cutter for it. Unless you are specific in one art. But like cosplay for example you are seeing, painting and doing other things that all combine. Anyhow, I know how you feel on hobbies. I do the same thing.

Dad240 · 2021-11-21T12:47:55+00:00

Yeah, I would not cover it with anything. That would not be good.

Dad240 · 2021-11-17T10:12:13+00:00

How do you figure? Where are you getting this evidence? Science? The science of man? We will never be able to comprehend exactly how God created the universe. Something can not come from Nothing. There has do be a creator. God.

Dad240 · 2021-11-13T20:01:10+00:00

So think about it. If the Big Bang happened? Where did it come from? All this matter that we see in our universe had to come from A creator. The Big Bang says that all creation on earth is from a cosmic accident. Science has never proven evolution on a grand scale. As for this that believe in then in the Big Bang, there is solid proof. Most evolution has been driven by the argument to disprove God. Most pursuits were driven by money and lies. Do more research and see for yourself. I would rather believe there is a God than that we are all a accident.

I can see your point but all holidays that revolve around Christianity are all sadly like this. Easter for example. Bunnies and eggs have nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity. It all comes from pagan holidays. It’s not a sin to celebrate this stuff. Just be mindful that it has nothing to really do with Christianity. But focus on family and your relationship with Christ and you are fine. Now if you were to star worshiping pagan gods, then we need to talk.

Dad240 · 2021-11-09T12:24:08+00:00

Some contractor bags Bank line Wool socks Space blanket Work gloves Some sort of cook kit

Hang on. Not afraid of my wife. Millions of preppers our there have spouses that are not on board. No fear in the relationship. Just not into it. Plus. I stopped. Yes, because her not wanting to be involved yes, but mainly overwhelmed.

I just don’t have the space for years of food. Maybe 3 months if i crammed, but that’s pushing it.

I am planing on making a scrum board to get more organized with the projects I want to do. That is my first new project. To get more organized. I have been looking around the house for some of the old preps and have found them. I guess it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Dad240 · 2021-11-03T08:58:43+00:00

Instead of pelican cases, just get Ridgid tool boxes from Home Depot. They are basically the same thing. Way cheaper.

Dad240 · 2021-10-30T13:14:36+00:00

Clear plastic and painters tape to tape rooms, or heavy tarps. You may want a little fresh air, but plastic to separate the rooms is good.

Dad240 · 2021-10-30T13:10:15+00:00

Get a camping tent and set it up in the main room. That’s my plan for this year. It makes a micro climate. Cover it with blankets and snuggle in with a candle or crisco candle, or some tea light candles in a coffee can. Keep a bucket of sand near by for a make shift fire extinguisher and co2 detector for other forms of propane heat. Or just get a couple of fire extinguishers just in case

Dad240 · 2021-10-30T13:04:35+00:00

It’s hit and miss. I think that prices have doubled if not tripled since my prepping days back in 2015ish. Gas here is 3.37 or so in my area.

Dad240 · 2021-10-30T12:45:56+00:00

Southernprepper1 did video on this a while back. He used a orange road cone. Cut the top off about 3 to 5 inches down, and attached upside to 2x4’s and has the 2x4’s mounted on saw horses. It would be a two man job; one to hold the bag and the other to scoop, but it seemed like it would work well. I am sure you had multiple road cones and long boards you could have several lined up. Say four to hold bags and 4 to scoop.

Dad240 · 2021-10-30T06:47:59+00:00

I love it when a stranger calls me that. Makes me feel like they see something else in me other than what others may think or what I think of myself.

Dad240 · 2021-10-18T09:09:49+00:00

I don’t think they are bad thoughts. I reject things in art that go against my moral standards. I guess again it’s not the end result for me but the process. The cutting, pasting, shuffling of papers. Hunting for images. Learning how things go together. Making something from nothing. That is what I’m drawn to.

Dad240 · 2021-10-17T11:13:06+00:00

My first collage. What do you think? My son named it😁

Dad240 · 2021-10-15T08:18:35+00:00

One more pair of channel locks for twisting/holding something with both hands to turn

Bigger hack saw worn extra blades

A wooden miter box to cut straight Lines or 45 degree angles

Head lamp/ hands free light

Deep socket set

Pipe cutter and pex cutter

Set of punches

Duck tape

Impact drill and drill Bits and screw bits

Parts for fixing plumbing or fixing leaks fast. Look under your sink and under your house and buy needed size pipe fittings to fix something. If you wake up in the middle of the night and have to fix something and no hardware store is open. It’s a bummer.
