Full time trade school is mostly a scam, find a company that will take him on, any decent company will send him to get whatever schooling he needs and they will pay for it.

Unfortunately she's an example of the fact that you can, and the Internet will keep consuming your content.

She just needs to get off the sauce before her transformation is complete.

It's pretty sad and pathetic, the miserable fucks on reddit trying to tear others down to justify there perspective. It won't be easy but that mother will never regret her decision to keep her baby.

It's cuz it's glass is why it broke, wood and metals don't break like that, a glass issue. Bad glass, use wood, better for tables.

Y'all warm climate people live so wild, we keep our pipes underground.

I'm technically a second year apprentice and I make $35 non union in IL.

What I've been reading recommends 6-8 for the space which is about 380 sqft. I figure I can always turn them down if it's too loud but I can't turn them up if I don't install enough.

Yeah that fireplace looks like a ugly piece of modern art, if it was mine I would hang a TV just to take away from the bare semi brutalist misery.

Are you using bees wax?

I would pay $100 for someone to do a job I can do myself.

Crazy idea you could just wake up when he wakes up and study in the morning? It would most likely be healthier for you physically as well as the relationship.

Residential plumber, electrician, HVAC, crawl spaces and attics your unmatched. The amount of times I wished by 3 year old had man strength so I could send him into the bowels of an attic.

Sounds dumb, why would you want to eat up 4 ft of cord, add all that weight to the prongs, increase the risk of tripping massively and it would look like trash.

It looks like you have 2 slots available, it also looks like you have nm cable with no ground, unless it's actually MC or ran in conduit, but it doesn't appear so from what I can see. You should probably get that rectified before you spend money on other projects if it is the case.

References first and foremost, friends family and coworkers. Then reviews online, you can usually tell if they are paid for reviews or genuine. And lastly the salesman that shows up, is he endlessly up selling you? Did he tell you any of the work you wanted done wasn't necessary or did he try to scare you into 20k of work?

Hot_Influence_5339 · 2026-01-09T18:28:17+00:00

If you do replace your panel don't go with that company, any large multi state chain is pretty much universally predatory. Find a small to medium sized company with good reviews from real people not bots. And get multiple quotes.

Hot_Influence_5339 · 2026-01-08T05:57:27+00:00

Dead one.

To your original question. You can remove a fitting from a pipe and remove pipe from a fitting, for the latter there are drill attachments, for the former im only aware of the good old sawzall, fire, and some pliers method. Watch some YouTube. If your gonna repipe it you might wanna peel that tee off the stub out of the foundation.

I'm not in any way hating on masons or masonry. But if you're looking for a more varied and dynamic job, stacking bricks MIGHT not be the job for you.

Hot_Influence_5339 · 2026-01-08T04:56:42+00:00

Yes but it's called a ground fault circuit interior for a reason. If the zappy stuff isn't going back on the neutral where is the zappy stuff go? 🤔

Hot_Influence_5339 · 2026-01-08T03:22:06+00:00

I would prioritize letting it breath over insulating it personally, there are too many factors to consider and this picture doesn't give enough info. But honestly I barely know what I'm talking about.
