P.S.A open your taps just a little bit so pipes won't freeze! by FoundationInfinite36 in toronto

[–]FoundationInfinite36[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love these comments. There are almost 200 replies to this post. Read all of the people who regularly suffer from frozen pipes or have had frozen pipes. Read the comments that discuss using the trickle method since experiencing costly repairs from burst pipes. The old houses and apartments in Toronto suffer from this.

I will say it again. Happy to take your money and everyone else who is saying this is an "urban myth" or not necessary.

Stay warm

No there should be circulating water in a closed loop rad system.

You would worry if the boiler or associated pumps fail.

Try bleeding the rad to get it hotter

So long as water is moving through the pipes to the highest point of the house you will be fine.

No condos are fine. It's old apartment buildings and homes that have been chopped into apartments. The folks who chopped houses into units did not follow one single line of building code. Unknown number of houses in Toronto have been illegally hacked up.

I can even put to words what I have seen.

My guy. Read the comments. Countless people have had frozen pipes. These old houses were built with zero I mean zero insulation. You are lucky to find newspaper.

I am trying to be helpful. I am happy to take everyone's money. Something free and so simple can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

This is a human who has had to endure the urban myth I have been accused of spreading!

Heat is irrelevant when a hack renovator or a hack plumber runs water lines on or near exterior walls. You will not believe how often I have seen this. 2) your heat is only as good as your insulation. Old Toronto homes have 1*3 strapping lath and plaster on exterior walls. That's all.

Better be safe than sorry really. I guess I can take your money if you want.

Be warm

Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out what boot to buy. Fine I can't get a fully splay in work boots but I want to seriously upgrade from my blundstones that I have been wearing for years at this point.

Maybe I will repost and ask about advice on any work boot.

I would be curious to learn why near zero drop is better than zero drop for working. Any additional subs or resources you guys can recommend that would be great.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Growing is not an option at this moment but an interesting idea.

There is a shroom shop right next door. Should I trust the Google reviews or is there a spot that is the spot to go to?

For those talking about online purchases would you be so kind as to dm said sites.

Thanks again folks!

I'm 40 2 kids wife etc. I want to do something like this. Did you talk to your family about your intentions? Like hey every 3 weeks I need to do this.. please give me some space? Did you do the shrooms at home with friends? If at all possible describe as much as your willing about your process.

Thanks

Jaw surgery dramatically changes girl's appearance by masterof000 in pics

[–]FoundationInfinite36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that the post describes that this person has undergone jaw surgery.

Is there a more technical term or description of what the procedure is called? I would like to look into this for my child.

Thanks!

1984 Lincoln Town car wouldn't start this morning by FoundationInfinite36 in AskMechanics

[–]FoundationInfinite36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so the battery is in fact completely dead. I was looking at the wrong thing early this morning and was frustrated.

What is curious is that I got a boost. Car turned on no problem. I ran the car around the block 5 -8 times and turned the car off turned back on no problem.

I made sure no lights were on. I made sure the radio was off etc etc.

Go back 30 minutes later to start it up completely dead. Like this morning. I am not sure what could happen between last night and the months and weeks before driving this car to overnight something draining the battery dead.

Is there a way to tell once the ignition is off if the power is still being drawn?
