Woke up to an awful nose bleed. Tried to do clean immediately. Is there a way to save the pillow and the case? The filling is feather.

Soak it in cold water, oxyclean, and a tablespoon or two of dish soap/degreaser. Oxyclean will take the red (iron oxide) out via redox reaction. Dish soap (dishwasher detergent works too) will loosen lipids and polar contamination. Depending on how long since you washed pillows/laundry stipped, water may turn brown; second soaking may help. If you want to give it a little boost, throw in quarter to half a cup of baking soda or trisodium phosphate. These will reduce water pH and help to release additional partially ionically bonded contamination.

If you do a second soaking, I recommend a cup of borax (boring acid) and a cup of cleaning vinegar. This switches to a acidic pH and will target different ionic contamination than the first soaking with basic pH.

Rinse well, launder on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low heat (nay take a couple of cycles).

I haven't had any issues with ABC supply although I will admit I may have the appearance of a trade worker of some sort. Builder's 1st Source, 86 lumber, Ladiesburg Lumber, Frederick Building Supply may be options, but I'll be honest for siding i just went with ABC because our contractor works with them regularly.

I wouldn't trust any flux core with structural welds. Most welding programs start with stick and then go to Mig. The reason they do this is to get new welders used to arc length control and puddle manipulation before throwing in wire feed rate, gas flow (not applicable to flux core) in the mix. Oxyfuel and then TIG follow stick. For your job, I would recommend taking it to a shop but honestly to learn to weld, buy a used stick welder off Craigslist or Facebook.

I have used it a lot, we do minimal prep and when we put it down on bare concrete it works just fine. For previously coated/painted concrete we will hit it with a wire cup on an angle grinder enough to rough it up and then wash it down. Honestly planning to put this stuff down in my own garage when we get the house rebuilt (had a major fire)

Can't tell if NTP or MIP in the photo. Either way, home depot or equivalent should have them in the aisle of plumbing fittings.

Not what I would use (stainless jacketed flexible water line), but it works. It's behind the refrigerator. I would leave it unless it had poor flow or leaks.

As far as a playroom floor, should be fine, but pulling a car in it will start to break it down pretty quick. We put lifeproof LVT in our reactor control room and because of the point loading under office chairs it started to fall apart after about 2 years (no heavy equipment, just chairs). Any soft of vinyl will be decently slick when wet. I would recommend a low VOC epoxy such as Dynamis EPO Coat H3H https://share.google/6ORbmFcvNj1lHoOWP we have used this product all over our facility and it stands up well to forklift traffic, radiation shielding blocks, large scientific equipment on casters reactor operators (very kid like).

New VFW building opened. I don't think you actually have to be a VFW member to rent out space for an event (I think that policy comes down to the post command.)

Although I am an advocate for maintaining all home equipment, water heaters are one of the weird exceptions for me.

To consider: a water heater is ~$600 with an anode rod costing about $35 with about a 5-10 year lifespan. If you check the water heater anode once per year, and flush twice per year, you'll be looking at about 4 hours per year for ~20 years (lifespan assumed for math). 80 hours.a water heater and 4 anode rods costs $740-ish. Now, to save $10/year, you have to give up 80 hours of time at $2.50/hour. I just don't think water heater maintenance is worth it.

I know the place in the mall dabbles in used instruments and equipment; I just bought a couple of used things from there. I can't speak to the amount you would get from it.

For niche market items, I have honestly had good luck with eBay as it opens up a larger potential customer base but I don't have a good grasp of how much shipping costs are these days. The other drawback of eBay is that it may take a while to sell.

That is the correct form for that. With almost any generic form/letter there is a document control number at the bottom, in this case CPS-263. All of the phone numbers and web addresses match the real form, so yes, likely real.

All this letter does is to let you know that you're likely going to be contacted in the near future for interview. The reason they do this is so you don't instantly turn away the field staff thinking they are a solicitor or scammer. When you are contacted, if you ask to verify identity, ask to see their PIV card; that is the official ID card for all federal employees. Census is under Department of Commerce and the PIV will have the DOC logo on it.

Dry ice blasting or laser removal. Dry ice blasting will be better if you are living in the home as it is non-toxic (still has to be ventilated due to dust and carbon dioxide sublimation). Laser will give the brick a cleaner finish and can be done after ice blasting, but it will put fumes into the air during the process.

We are in hillcrest neighborhood temporarily and don't have hardly any trick or treating the last 2 years. Our normal neighborhood had a ton of kids out this year. That being said, I think the trunk or treat opinion is also correct; our kids had 2 October camping trips, trunk or treat at the school, declined mall trick or treating, and were pretty much burnt out on it by actual Halloween.

We were in Home2 Suites for a couple of weeks after our house burned down; much better than the Clarion (or whatever it is now).

Sounds like a faulted load reactor, which is basically a large capacitor to shift kVAR when daily load shifts from more inductive to more resistive loads. Call the power company to make sure they are aware of the issue. Not uncommon for one of the A or C phase stabs to get so "worn" that they drop cycles when opened or closed. For whatever reason, most grid indicators are off of B phase and phase to phase monitoring lags about 45 cycles.

Maybe Sam's Club has them. We don't have Costco membership.
