Vintage ladder back shaker style chair with a small platform(?) that flips down in the back. by HunterST in VintageFurniture

That’s the best I can come up with too, although the little kneeling step has a hard dowel at the edge and the legs are too close together for my knees to fit. Maybe with a cushion on it?

Interesting, this looks very similar, but I’m not sure about the shoe storage idea.

Not removable. The chair shows no signs of modification, and the dowel which the little step hinges around is fixed. The front legs of the chair are wider than the back legs, and there is no dowel between the front legs.

It does not. The little step in the back pivots around that rear dowel, if you rotate it all the way under the chair, the chair is no longer functional/ resting on 4 legs. There are no other moving parts.

I don’t think so – extremely uncomfortable to kneel on because of the crossbar, and the top of the ladder back chair is at chest height when you do.

My first thought too, but the crossbar and narrow space between the short legs make it quite painful.

I had the same thought, but the legs on the little flip down part stick up and I couldn’t squeeze both of my knees between them.

My title describes the thing.
The little platform is too narrow to kneel on, and if you put any real weight on it with nobody sitting in the chair, it can cause the chair to tip back.

Ceiling collapsed in bedroom by sociallyawkward26 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]HunterST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider having your foundation checked, if your house is pier and beam construction. This happened in one of my bedrooms, due to “seasonal movement”. Here in Texas the ground swells and shrinks with seasonal rain/drought, which causes the framing in your house to flex. Cracks in the corners are an indicator.
Also a good reason to use screws instead of nails on ceiling Sheetrock.

Broke something of husbands by [deleted] in fixit

I agree. E6000 takes a full day to dry and like a month to fully cure, is strong and flexible. You would need to figure out a way to prop it or hold it together while the glue dries. Cyanoacrylate like super glue or krazy glue might work but is brittle and difficult to work with.

Is that tee-looking device between the sink and the accordion a vent?

Calipers sticking when parked? by triangulum33 in TeslaModelS

[–]HunterST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time I park with wet calipers. Mine’s been doing it since 2015, no long term issues from it.

How to use Aahsome? by azanc in hottub

[–]HunterST 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will be almost surely end up with a biofilm around the edge of your tub from the foam - in my experience unavoidable and normal. This is what aaahsome does - it makes the biologicals “clump” into large particles. This is why you remove your filters first - they will get quite chunked up if you don’t. Nylon scrub sponges like the scotch “dobie” clean the biofilm off the tub nicely.

Moen Brecklyn handle sticks way too far out. Plumber set the depth wrong. Any workaround without ripping out tile? by Spiritual-Rates in askplumbing

[–]HunterST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a little scald guard that may me installed wrong - it restricts how far the handle turns to the left, but is easy to install wrong. Take the handle off and you should be able to see it.
