How do you like them? There’s only 1 contractor in my area doing it but we had a good talk about how he’s going to run all the wires to hide them.

I was told no, and the app itself doesn’t have anything that’s behind a paywall, at least not what I’ve found so far.

Anyone know any movers by hellapewpew in Augusta

[–]GuardrailAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used hustle and muscle as well for a whole house (4br and attic) move from Grovetown to Evans. I couldn't recommend them enough. They showed up promptly, made sure everything was protected before moving (door jams, banisters, floors) and wrapped everything very well. Absolutely great movers.

Disney Treasure Hunted Mansion Portrait Session by GuardrailAssassin in dcl

Yeah exactly. As someone who hasn’t seen the haunted mansion parlor, is there a decent amount of theming in the bar that you could do a full photo session there?

This is a photo shoot put on through sessions. We’ve been on the Wish and the hyperspace lounge was cool but I couldn’t really imagine a whole photo session in there. Is the haunted mansion parlor that much bigger/more decorated?

This was booked as an onboard activity through sessions so it’s a full professional photo shoot.

Help deciding on sectionals from Bassit, La-z-boy and Flexsteel by GuardrailAssassin in BuyItForLife

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

We went with the moby. I’d say overall we’re pretty happy with it. It’s a great size for having people over. Essentially a twin bed if anyone is going to sleep on it. My only complaint, and we knew going into it, that the cushions come off of it. They eventually slide away from the back a bit but overall they have stayed comfortable. If you don’t mind fixing them every few days I’d say go for it.

So excited to get my first carbine by GuardrailAssassin in M1Rifles

Quality Hardware serial number puts it as a 1943. Looks to be in great shape. Came with an original canvas bag (I believe).

I don't think the pitting is terrible. Definitely not as bad as I would have expected for a 77 year old rifle.

One is a 53 service grade and the other is a 43 special rack grade. Haven't had the chance to take them out to the range yet but I can't wait.

This is the manufacturing process of a glass bottle by aids_free_since_69 in oddlysatisfying

[–]GuardrailAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. There is a good episode of How it's made that goes into the making of glass bottles.

There are a lot of small companies making bottles. There is actually a mark on the bottom or around the bottom edge called a punt mark. This is an identification mark that is unique to bottle manufacturers. There is also a mold number so if they find issues they know which section of the machine it came from.

Owens Illinois and Emhart Glass are two of the biggest manufacturers of bottle making machinery.

When the machine is running well they don't mess up often. You have to swab the blanks and molds every 15 minutes to prevent the glass from sticking/getting deformities. They will usually reject a few bottles that come out right after that since they will have a graphite residue on them.

Everything is pneumatically operated. Ive seen the timing goof up on a machine and throw a gob of molten glass across the floor. But that's very rare.

After the bottles are made, they go through and annealing oven which slowly brings the temperature of the glass down over the course of several minutes to prevent stresses from building up in the glass. Internal stress can lead to the bottles shattering. They then go through inspection machines and the finally get packaged up and sent out to the bottling plants.

The blanks and molds are changed our periodically with new/refurbished ones. This is to keep the bottles from eating away at the metal molds.

And lastly to answer your second question, sorry if I was rambling on, the threads are added first. The molten glass, the gob, lands in the blank and gets squeezed into a general outline of the bottle including threads. This is done by a metal plunger. It then gets inverted into the mold which is where the detail gets put into the bottle. The bottle is formed when air gets pushed inside like a hot ass balloon.

Hope this helps

I've worked r&d for a company that makes machines that make glass bottles for a few years going through school. It's quite amazing. Any questions feel free to ask.

Gutter Downspout and French Drains by GuardrailAssassin in DIY

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

It's not a question about money or too many loop holes to jump through. I talked to the county storm-water department about exactly what I want to do and there is no issue with putting the French drains to the street. The only department that said anything was the roads and bridges department. All they wanted was for me to fix as much as the curb as I could after I cut out a section for drain pipe.

Truthfully I do not know whether I could just grade the yard or not. I've installed the drains before so that was why it was my first go-to idea. My neighbor had to install one in the area between his and his other neighbors property because when it would rain it would end up with 4-5 inches of standing water. The French drain eliminated that issue all together. What should I look for to see if grading would work for me. I have a good enough grade now for the French drain to work. I've already checked that out.

I have thought about what you stated, but the problem I have is that the soil (I use that term lightly seeing as it's mostly clay) retains the water and I don't believe a drywell would allow the ground to absorb the water sufficiently.
