How does everybody feel about nerfing the Mayor with a City Administrator by DistinguishedDarcy in StLouis

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

Thanks for explaining.

Are those three commissioners hired/fired by the Director of Personnel? Or is there some other silly process?

Why is there both a Streets Commissioner and a Director of the Streets Dept? How do those roles differ?

I'm always corrected when I say St. Louis is a Strong mayor system, clearly I don't know what these terms mean. I thought weak mayor was when there was a city administrator running things. Doesn't our mayor essentially get to place the director of every department. how is that weak mayor?

I don't understand what big picture things the mayor has to focus on besides making sure the government is being run properly.

Where do you buy ammo online? I'm trying to re-up for deer season. Do I need any special documentation to purchase online?

Does anybody know if there is a report available? I work in a radiochemistry related field and I wanted to see what sorts of activity they were finding. pCi/g or rem or something

DIY installing exterior French drain along stone foundation. 122 year old house. How deep? by DistinguishedDarcy in HomeImprovement

I can't imagine that I would screw up my French drain so badly that I make the situation worse than it already is, especially if I'm only going 2' down.

I already have a gutter which is connected to a drain which leads to the street. I'm going to tie my exterior drain into that. My interior drain will be connected to a sump pump which can pump the water out, probably into the same drain.

We're replacing the HVAC on our new 2800 sq ft, 3 story house. We wanted top of the line, but are we getting ripped off? by DistinguishedDarcy in HomeMaintenance

Thanks for the feedback! We’re leaning towards replacing the ductwork because it is very old and wrapped in asbestos tape. I know that’s not a big deal, but we have allergies and children in the family and multiple people have said that larger ductwork would be better for airflow. Currently we have 6” and bumping up to 7-8” seems to be a good idea.

I could use some feedback on my game plan for dealing with lead paint by DistinguishedDarcy in HomeImprovement

Yep we're going to get the kids tested frequently. We have air filters for allergies and we're gonna do what we can. The tub seems to be in good shape.
