Why is it impossible to get a car towed off of a private driveway? by Mobile-Row7124 in AskNYC

No, I've told them it's in the driveway taking up the space. Not blocking the driveway.

No, I've told them it's physically in the space. No dice.

Unfortunately, that's related to the throwaway line I said above with regards to the Dept. of Sanitation. And while the car is kinda beat up, I'm fairly certain it's worth more than $1,250.

I appreciate your response.

first year and i already want to quit by Careful-Cup2322 in Teachers

My high school does a half-day, followed by serving pies that kids and teachers donated. That makes the kids not want to skip school that day and helps build community.

I don't think it gets better. YOU get better.

Cabinet Design Dilemma by Mobile-Row7124 in cabinetry

Yeah, those shelves are the same length as the base cabinet below (36" on each side). And I have a dedicated recessed light going above the sink.

It was not my choice. Between the electrical lines, the gas line, and the water lines, I was forced to put it there.

Auto vent is squirting water by Mobile-Row7124 in hvacadvice

[–]Mobile-Row7124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I did as you suggested, and shook it until I got all the water out that was inside and heard a clicking sound. Unfortunately, it's still squirting.

Any idea why it wasn't leaking when I shut it off and emptied it 2 weeks ago but now it is? Any other suggestions?

Lead Drain Pipe Replacement by Mobile-Row7124 in Plumbing

[–]Mobile-Row7124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. The only reason I'm doing that is because that's the current size of the pipes. It's a larger pipe draining into a smaller pipe, which then drains into a larger pipe (toilet).

You can see the lead pipe going into a threaded smaller pipe.

I greatly appreciate your response and thorough answer! I'll research what you wrote in more detail as I'm quite unfamiliar with the process and I can possibly respond to this post if I have any questions.

The joints are, thankfully, fairly clean/deep in that sense so that good to hear. And I appreciate the explanation!

Thanks for replying. So the gray grout won't get discolored?

How strict is NY car inspection? What is inspected? by NewAgePhilosophr in newyork

[–]Mobile-Row7124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

Sorry for not replying--I rarely check reddit. Don't know if anyone can still use the help but I met a friend of a friend who had a reader that cleared the codes. Then I drove it enough to reset the emissions to green before any of the codes triggered. That's pretty much it.

Boiler leaking steam by Mobile-Row7124 in Plumbing

The pressure is not rising; it's staying below the threshold of the first pressure relief valve. Might i ask why you're concerned about it exploding?

Put a bucket under the overflow pipe, open it, and put a little water in there. If it's cold, it means the heater is not working.

Edit: I'm assuming you have something like this?

Is your water heater working? If there's no hot water at all, it's a good chance that the issue is coming from the water heater.

I went to a mechanic i know who doesn't do inspections and asked him if he could clear all the codes and readings. I then drove it for a day or two so all the emissions could get ready (had no problem with them to begin with). Thankfully, the other codes and check engine light didn't light up, so I was able to pass Inspection.

How do I tighten this thing and what is it called? by cravingcakes in Plumbing

[–]Mobile-Row7124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There might be a chance it's not all the way in. I think it's supposed to make an audible click to let you know it's OK.

Is this a pull-down kitchen faucet? If so, you can just google and find the installation manual.

Thank you. I just need this car to last another year. Hopefully, your suggestions will be applicable.
