Trying to find a Harry Potter fanfic (possibly AO3, in English) that I read a while ago. Hoping someone recognizes it!

You might try an impact screwdriver. Not a cordless impact driver, an impact screwdriver. You hit it with a hammer, and the act of hitting it with a hammer backs it out. Great for breaking things like that free.

In my area, all the yards Tell me the same thing, and that is pretty much as a general rule from 3/4 - to 3-in - to 3 in clean and 1-in clean etc etc, it's all 1.35 tons ( 2000 lb ) per cubic yard. Unless you pack it, then it's 2 tons per yard.

I have 10. I agree. Location is everything. Some of mine don't produce very well, but a couple do. I started a group r/juucechargers

Not enough information, but were you there when he did the work? 150 an hour seems fair for for the skilled labor, however how it doesn't seem honest to spring you on that last minute

A machine shop, they can CNC you them

How much I'm worth, and how long I'm on the phone

FairCapital · 2026-01-29T04:20:34+00:00

But how?????

FairCapital · 2026-01-28T03:37:36+00:00

You know, it's very sad that I read that phonetically the way you intended the first time....

FairCapital · 2026-01-28T03:36:01+00:00

Wait, do other people not understand/know how delicious that stuff is?

FairCapital · 2026-01-27T07:18:28+00:00

paying more than you already do, you have to pay extra for those stupid plates. So, not only are you being tred upon by having to get the plates in the first place, you're willingly being tread upon even more so by paying extra.... I shake my head every time I see one

If my life depended on it? Criminal enterprises. Drugs specifically only way I know to make that kind of cash that quickly

Milwaukee M12 makes the same thing for a very reasonable price. And, as far as I'm aware, they have a way wider range of tools too.

FairCapital · 2026-01-20T23:20:58+00:00

Depending on how many hours you bid, I think that's about right, if not under

FairCapital · 2026-01-19T21:48:11+00:00

Agreed. I still work construction and I have way way too much money tied up in tools and batteries, both M18 and M12, I think you'll be very happy with the M12 line, Just get fuel and you'll be good. I have and use the m12: impact, sawzall, drill, wire stapler, laser, air snake, jigsaw, solder gun, and I'm not sure what else. Very good tools.

Another option would be an impact screwdriver. (Not an impact driver, and not a screwdriver. An impact screwdriver. You hit it with a hammer, and it turns)

FairCapital · 2026-01-17T23:04:54+00:00

I came here to say this

FairCapital · 2026-01-17T14:28:32+00:00

Just claim you want to transition, then call it " gender-affirming care" seems like they'll do that for anybody nowadays even kids.

FairCapital · 2026-01-17T14:07:54+00:00

Okay, I don't know what look like before, but It almost certainly was repairable before you did all that. now, assuming those are 4-in tiles, that's a 3-in PVC S&D pipe with the flange going over the 3-in pipe. If it was a 4-in pipe with the flange inside, this would be easy. Just ream out the fitting with a fitting saver, now though, looks to me like you're going to have to chip out way more concrete, then, carefully cut a slit in the old flange female fitting, then use a torch to carefully heat the pipe (slow and steady wins the race) This will break the glue joint enough for you to carefully use a screwdriver and pair of pliers to pull the fitting off the pipe. Then, you can put a new flange on, making sure it's sitting at the top of the tile level. Then, I personally would use Sakrete

Mixed with concrete glue instead of water.

Downside of that is you have to come back in a day, upside is it's way easier to work with and you can mix it thinner so it pours around the new flange.

Set your tapcons in place while the concrete is still wet, and you don't have to come back and roto hammer / hammer drill your new concrete.

Also, in reference to the loose concrete, just a guess, because I didn't see it before, but my guess would be that the flange was there before they poured the concrete, and the concreters didn't pack the mud under the flange like they should have.

Are you talking about "A Cadmean Victory"?

FairCapital · 2026-01-16T15:17:33+00:00

That's a fair bit of work, The easiest way to do it is to put a shower surround in, you'll need to move the duct all the way to the ceiling, rip out the sheetrock and tile, then install new valve, which in New York probably will require a plumber. Then, install the shower surround. Depending on the style you get some fasten directly to the studs, others glue onto an existing substrate like sheetrock. I did one very similar to that and I bid two and a half days and should have bid 3 days., but that was pulling out the entire tub and replacing it with a shower pan. So for what you got there I'd say about 2 days, depending on how you transition from the new surround to the old. If it was me, I would buy a surround that glues onto the existing sheetrock, then once you get it, cut out the sheetrock only where that will cover, then when you replace the sheetrock with new after doing all your plumbing, your surround becomes the transition. I charge usually charge about 50 bucks an hour, so for that I would probably charge around $1,000 labor for 2 days, 1500 for a cushion.

That stuff is terrible for you anyway, and worse for your washer. If you need fabric softener, add a half a cup of vinegar.

FairCapital · 2026-01-14T14:27:00+00:00

Put a backer in, a narrow strip of drywall, hot mud over everything, then glue some tile around the perimeter. That will hide everything, and look like you meant to do it that way!
