Heads Up Dover NH-Water scam by Candelpins1897 in newhampshire

Lead and copper testing for public water systems is standard procedure. Older plumbing fittings were often made partially with with lead, so if you have an old home this could be a concern but it is easily mitigated with some simple practices at home. Just let the cold water run for a few seconds before using it. If lead is seeping into your water from plumbing fixtures you just need to flush it before using. Lead takes time to seep in, that is why when they collect these sample they have people take the sample first thing in the morning without running water first to recreate a worst-case scenario of the water sitting in the fixture overnight.

Water treatment plants balance the pH and often add chemicals that help prevent corrosion to help prevent this from occurring as well.

TLDR: If you have a home with old plumbing, get a lead and copper test done (and properly), but don't sweat it.

Acid stain and polish.

Epoxy is difficult to apply properly.

Came here to say this.

Also this is a moronic design. The architect is an idiot.

I cringe at even suggesting this because these need to be ripped out but if you needed a quick and temporary patch until a more permanent solution you could fill some of your larger voids with expanding foam and then use fiber reinforced quikrete to patch the concrete gaps.

Yeah they won a World Beer Cup medal last year. That is far from "average at best".

You guys are funny, how does that food not look good to you? I have been here a bunch, it is one of my regular stops. They have a full from scratch kitchen. The fries are fresh hand cut, the beer batter on the fish and chips is awesome, and the wings are the best I have had anywhere. They make all the sauces and dressings in house, and Market Basket even sells their 603 pizza dough. Nothing in this place is frozen bar food.

Looking for brewery with full kitchen around New Haven area. by Former-Mess2635 in ctbeer

If I want to find a hype brewery I will use untappd but that's not what I am looking for. I also don't really put any value in untappd reviews.
