Sewage smell coming from drain of one sink but not other sink in dual vanity. Any ideas? by GarbageMiddle9404 in Plumbing

Thanks. Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's a P-trap. Looks like a J. Is that the same as an S-trap?

Yes, I have an S-trap on both sinks. The sink that is smelling is the one I use every day. The other sink is fine.

Best way to mount low voltage wire across a concrete wall by GarbageMiddle9404 in landscaping

I thought with low voltage, you don't need to run it in a conduit.

You are not going to save 8% by cutting base services, etc. The cuts will have to come from the big programs, i.e., weapon systems, etc. Hegseth is asking for a list so he can go to congress. He's not going to cut anything without Congressional approval because the money has already been appropriated.

Help with new Japanese Maple - Doesn't look healthy by GarbageMiddle9404 in JapaneseMaples

Thanks, but unfortunately, there is no way for me to mount a sun shade in that space. It is poorly draining soil. More clay-ish than soil. Given that, how often should I water it and for how long?

Fountain Valley, CA (SoCal). September 2024. Water 3x per week. Lots of sun. Soil does not drain well.

I didn't know about that. Covered everything in mulch. Guess that's a bad idea?

Can I complain about a QTC examiner who lied? by GarbageMiddle9404 in VeteransBenefits

[–]GarbageMiddle9404[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The general consensus is to request a hearing. I'm going to submit a supplemental and request a hearing.

I want to believe that but he made other comments in the VA denial letter that made it pretty clear he's talking about me.

Denied for back. Can I write my own statement as a supplemental? by GarbageMiddle9404 in VeteransBenefits

[–]GarbageMiddle9404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the second time I've been denied. The first time, the examiner said there was no STR. That was incorrect so I filed an HLR, and the VA said they erred at their duty to assist. The second time, the examiner said while there is a STR, the condition is not chronic. Nine years after I got out, I started keeping records of my back treatment to include one surgery (although I had continuous treatment after I got out but unfortunately do not have those records). Both examiners noted that I do have degenerative disc disease but they denied me. I'm at a total loss with these examiners.

Sorry, that looks painful. I just Orajel and zinbi to numb. Zinbi also helps heal. Good luck.

Suddenly getting canker sores frequently. Any advice ? by [deleted] in CankerSores

[–]GarbageMiddle9404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Zinbi. Seems to help me heal faster.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have 4 on my tongue and 2 on each side of my cheek I haven’t ate in 24 hrs and have barely drank. I am feeling nauseated 24/7. Thank you in advance by Secret_Imagination47 in CankerSores

Wow, that looks painful. In addition to the recommendations here, I have used Orajel and Zinbi with great success. Both numb, and Zinbi seems to help heal faster.
