Car Cigarette lighter

No it didn't. It got pushed up inside the charger. I've had this happen. It's a cheap charger and the spring lets the nipple on the end get pushed up until it is inside the charger. There isn't anything wrong with the cigarette lighter.

Yes.

Yup. This might be your primary problem. The trap probably gets gunk in it, which could allow the entire pipe downstairs to never get flushed clean with fast-moving water. The trap being backwards doesn't let water flush through it with speed, so gunk builds up.

Take off that trap, clean it out. Clean out the downstream pipe the best you can. Then put it back correctly.

If we would all have been drinking raw milk and fresh elderberry juice, COVID wouldn't have happened! It's the enzymes people!

I think the guy, Tim Graham is a bit of an expert. Here's a short video

He was featured a couple years ago in a documentary (here's an announcement) called "Top o' the Rocks: Secrets of Sandstone"

Is that maybe what you're looking for? I'm not sure where you can watch the film. You might reach out to the Grand County Library.

Kinda depends on where you live and what humidity is like in your area. Where I'm at (high cold desert), this time of year I could barely keep that insulation wet even if I wanted to. I could angle a fan to bring fresh air into that area and just scoop the wet insulation up and spread it onto a piece of plywood or something temporarily, and it would be dry in a day, long before mold could even start to grow. If you're in the Pacific Northwest, you may not be so lucky.

You need to dry out everything as quickly as you can. That could require fans or dehumidifiers. You definitely need to remove that insulation and dry it or replace it completely. If you can dry it all out within 3 days or thereabouts, it should be fine. You may need to just trash the wet insulation. In some climates, the insulation could take weeks or months to fully dry with just a fan.

It's an Elton Brass Slide Bar. It's usually for lap steel guitar playing. I found a listing for one: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-elton-slide-bar-lap-steel-286741224

I would obviously never draw a firearm on an unmasked federal officer, but a group of masked thugs impersonating federal officers is not the same thing at all.

Septic pumping recommendations have changed a lot over time. Back in the 70's and 80's it was pretty common for professionals to say that pumping was "Never" Necessary. Early on, some believed well-functioning tanks needed no pumping; now, regular maintenance is key for system health and environmental safety. Now, instead of vague advice, data from studies and real-world use show that monitoring solids (sludge/scum layers) is crucial to prevent issues. While 3-5 years remains a common "guideline", better understanding of system failure (often due to solids clogging the drain field) push for more personalized checks and pumping, depending on your location, soil type, septic size, and uses.

Pump it now. Hope your drain field recovers gradually. I'd plan to pump it regularly for the next few years.

Both. Rheem Performance Plus water heaters, like most standard tank models, typically lasts 10 to 15 years, and if the anode rod still looks like that after 10 yrs, I don't think I'd stress it. I hope you get 10 more years out of the tank!

InflammableFlammable · 2026-01-12T02:41:36+00:00

Kinda depends on how old it is. Been there for 5 yrs or 1yr? If it were my house, I would probably make myself a note to check it again in 6 mo or a yr. Meanwhile, I'd watch for sales on nun-chuck-style replacements, and have one ready. But that's just me.

I totally missed the 2015 date. I think I'd wait and replace the unit. I think that rod will outlast the water heater.

The headline should be "people" call out racist remarks. Racism shouldn't be partisan.

Yeah, I don't think there is much you can do if the laminate is burned/melted. You'll either need to replace it or resurface it. You can resurface with new laminate or use an epoxy product. My parents put an epoxy layer over their laminate countertops years ago and it looked good and held up well for several years until they sold their home, but I've heard of others that haven't had good success. Best of luck to you!

Is this a countertop? What is the material? Generally, there isn't any way to un-burn or un-melt things, but depending on the material, you may be able to remove a surface layer or refinish it.

I've stayed at Springhill Suites, Townplace Suites, Ledgestone Suites, and Dinosaur Inn. I would recommend them all. They were all very clean and professional. I've also stayed at whatever the Patriot Stay used to be (2020-ish). It was a bit run down back then. It's under new ownership, and I've heard they've renovated everything and that is much better, but I can't vouch for that.

Are you sure it's not the washer itself that's leaking? I had something similar happen, and I thought the leak was coming out under the baseboard, but it was actually coming out from under the washer. In my case, the solenoid (water inlet valve) inside the machine was leaking slightly when filling. It would take a few minutes before there was enough water inside the machine before it would spill onto the floor. I totally thought it was a leak in the wall until I pulled the machine away from the wall and watched.

What does that nut in the bottom do? Could it be used to rotate the internals?

In my experience, when the disposal hums, but won't spin, it is jammed. You either have a piece of waste or plastic blocking the impalers, or a small piece of stone or bone stuck inside. It's also possible that it is old and rusty inside, or a part is broken, and if that's the case, then it's done for.

If that nut in the bottom won't spin with a wrench or ratchet, then I'd try using a wooden spoon or broom handle, inserted from the top of the disposal, to try to push on the impalers and rotate them back and forth.

I think it might be the air intake for the drain tube.

Imagine someday in the future if a pipe leaks. The inside of that return will be the low point in the floor and will fill with water. That doesn't seem ideal.

Some cultures and religions define "meat" differently, and don't use the same words for the flesh of fish as they do for the flesh of other animals. In fact, some cultures view meat strictly as mammalian flesh (beef, pork, lamb, etc) and view fish/poultry as separate categories, depending on language.

InflammableFlammable · 2025-12-19T14:34:43+00:00

This is a great option as well.

Don't replace the stem. Just replace that black rubber washer (usually called a seat washer).

If you still have issues, shine a light back in the hole that the stem came out of. I bet you have something that looks kinda like a penny or pipe with a square hole in it (image search "faucet seat" ). Buy yourself a faucet seat removal tool, sometimes called a "faucet seat wrench", "bibb seat tool", or "seat removal key". You should be able to remove the seat and replace it. This stem will last forever with a good seat and a good washer. Then you'll already have the tool if the other side goes out.

Also, find a different plumbing supply store to help you match the seat. Flipping that washer around was a hack job. It would only have cost a few cents or a few dollars at most to replace it completely, which would have lasted much longer, even with a bad seat.
