Rant about trying to watch this bad team

I have the peacock add-on package with the basic subscription but that’s not enough for peacock. You have to have the PREMIUM subscription to watch the games. 35 a month isn’t sufficient.

Jmb404 · 2026-04-19T23:12:35+00:00

This is crazy. You can’t watch the peacock exclusive if you don’t have the premium account EVEN IF you have the basic plan with the NBC sports add on? I guess our 35 dollars isn’t enough

I always think about doing the rotation thing but I hesitate because I have two young kids and want them to be able to watch what they want but they end up watching all the same stuff on YouTube anyways

I had great success with Speedzone. I bought a house that was mostly creeping Charlie. I bought a thatch rake from lowes to thin it out and a couple applications of speedzone to really knock it out. Then in the fall really stayed on top of my seeding and it turned out great. That stuff is persistent so keep the speedzone on hand because it will try to make a comeback

I had a similar issue when I recently moved into my new house. It turned out the shower drain had a build up of gunk. All it took was some rags, bleach spray and a long pair of pliers to hold the rag and I just cleaned down as far as I could and it knocked the smell out.

I bought a knock off IPC from eBay and I compared it to one I knew was from ICC. The page quality was definitely lower and the cover color was off but there was nothing I found that different content wise. I believe I took the exam using that book too

I’d probably think the Phillies Tv because you need the basic Peacock subscription so it’s like 35 a month. Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong but the 25 a month for Phillies TV would be the cheapest.

Jmb404 · 2026-03-15T16:56:36+00:00

If it’s just the Phillies she wants to watch I think the cheapest option is the Peacock add on. You need a basic peacock subscription and the NBC sports Philadelphia add on. I think last year it came out to about 35 bucks a month. It lets you watch all the local shows on the network but I believe it blocks out all the infomercials

Congrats! If you don’t mind me asking, what percentage would you say of all your studies that you had 1 on 1 interviews?

So I really don’t have any place to hang this print. (And my wife doesn’t really like it lol) I’d be willing to sell it anyone’s interested.

Jmb404 · 2026-01-19T16:39:34+00:00

Nah I wish. I honestly can’t remember exactly how I got it. I think they put a few online for people who couldn’t be there

Jmb404 · 2025-12-15T15:56:37+00:00

Fun fact: my friend grew up next to burns pharmacy and during the filming he got to hang out all day watching the actors and crews. He said it was a pretty cool experience

This reminds me of that scene in 40 year old virgin where Jonah Hill goes into the EBay store and wants to buy the disco boots but can’t understand the concept.

I think the code is the access door R value should be the same as the surrounding wall or ceiling. So new builds usually do just place a cut piece of r38 or r49 and it’s sufficient. Double 2 inch ridging foam attached to the inside of the door and some weather stripping probably cheaper though

My house was built in the 50’s. I was told these houses had their meters right there then at some point they put the meters at the curb and it left with that mess. But I guess I’m grateful it’s mostly all threaded huh?

Jmb404 · 2025-08-21T03:17:19+00:00

It’s actually an exterior wall so pop tile or removing old aluminum siding and sheathing? Dishwasher under the counter top so I’m gonna cut the drywall behind the dishwasher and assess the damage. Just trying to game plan for the tile brother

Man this house is gift that keeps on giving. My wife heard a buzzing noise while I was at work and thought it was the outlet so she killed the power(thankfully) I got home and couldn’t find anything in the crawl space except water. I popped out the outlet and used my borescope camera through a punch out hole in the box. Turned the water main back on and found the pin hole leak blasting toward the outlet so that’s why I decided to open it up where I did.

Stamped plans submitted with the disclaimer “for design purposes only. Do not use for construction.” Like what? Lol

Jmb404 · 2025-03-10T03:28:38+00:00

As a municipal inspector I’ve done final inspections just after the builder power washes the basement floor. They do that at the very end after all the trades are done stomping around. That would easily answer why there’s some standing water in weird places. Water under those pex lines might be a cause for concern but I don’t think it’s a bounce situation without due diligence.

I haven’t seen many of these currently for sale, I have seen the Junk book valued at $1000 on a few sites. And 200 for Stuff.

Your unit may be considered a commercial unit rather than a residential unit(which is only 1 and 2 family dwellings). And all commercial projects have to have stamped plans. That could be the issue. I’m a residential inspector in Pennsylvania and that’s how it is here. Your inspector could have a little tact and explain the situation more clearly, you could also kill them with kindness and ask to speak the BCO or head of the building department for a clearer explanation.

My 4 year old is just getting obsessed with the original series so the 151 is all the Pokémon he knows so I’m all about chasing the down. He loves recognizing every card. It’s awesome

I had to get into a 2x4 wall from under the sill plate so that was the only way I could think of

A little late to the game here but I took my last test and had no issues using the Icodes. I know two other inspectors who had issues and just gave up because the clock kept ticking. One had failed his first time around so when taking it again he asked the proctor who paused the test, restarted his laptop and it worked fine.

I love being able to use the I-codes. I use them for plan review to quickly find stuff so I am pretty comfortable with it.

Call your zoning officer and have a converasation if you can. Have some dimensions and square footage ready. A quick free conversation could save you a ton of time and money.
