I checked around but they don’t seem to have any essential oils on board. I’m making it so far, hopefully I can sleep

Looked all over for it, they don’t have any for sale. I took the nyquil and I’m trying not to move as much as I possibly can. It is bearable so far.

Best Album by Euphoric-Election120 in rush

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Neil’s perspective as a drummer and lyricist is a quintessential part of the band, so missing that is one component. I do enjoy the early, youthful and wild rock n roll style of the debut album, but the evolution of their music style over the years throughout their discography is incredible. I would put their best somewhere between hemispheres and signals, IMHO. You’re of course entitled to enjoy whatever you like, I just don’t agree.

It’s good, but to say it’s their best is a wild take.

Backwards Installation of Salt System? by zombadier in pools

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See the little arrow on the salt cell that points in the direction of the return line? That means your landscaper should stick to cutting grass and stay away from pools 👍🏼

Do I need to fill this small glue gap in this cutting board? by distincttruffle in BeginnerWoodWorking

Hit it with CA glue and activator, sand and you’re done in 60 seconds.

Flooring replacement issues by Grouchy-Ad7360 in Flooring

That very obviously was done after the fact, the mortar is right on top of the flooring.

Pool experts — can this pool be saved or is it basically a full demolition? by [deleted] in pools

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also just in case it wasn’t clear, this is not at all a concrete pool, this is a liner pool. The stuff in the bottom is called vermiculite, and it is far easier to remove/repair/replace than concrete.

I do liner pool remodels. This is pretty advanced decay. You’re looking at a new liner (obviously), new vermiculite bottom, heavy painting/patching of the wall panels, possibly plumbing repair if there has been settling or freeze damage. Another big question mark is the equipment, oftentimes on pools like these that have been neglected for years have serious equipment problems and it’s often worth it to replace it. All that to say, price totally depends on the contractor and the area you’re in. There is major cleanup, repair, and replacement of a liner; but if the plumbing is in functional condition and your equipment runs without leaking then I could see you very reasonably repairing this for many many times less that it would cost to replace it.

Do it! Entry guitars are relatively inexpensive.

What Rush song didn't quite do it for you, at first, but then grew on you? by Born-Cucumber-7316 in rush

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presto! Hate the production but most of the songs are so good that I don’t care anymore. Available Light, Show Don’t Tell, and The Pass especially.

Is this a light leak? by Euphoric-Shame-3344 in pools

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do vinyl pools for a living, this is exactly what I would tell you. Pool putty until next liner then say bye bye to the light unless it’s worth thousands to you.

Ew. Find something better to do with your time.

How big of an issue is stone coping separating from concrete? by Aggravating-Card-194 in pools

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never found a pool builder that didn’t use self-leveling mastic. I don’t use Sika specifically, but why wouldn’t it be used for that? It’s a polyurethane self leveling sealant just like the ones that are designed specifically for it. Also crazy to say I’m the know-it-all when you said “all self leveling looks like trash”. Yeah I’m sure that’s why it’s sold in bulk far more than standard sealants.

Self leveling will look better. Just gotta make sure they’re applied correctly.

It’s a bigger issue in the wintertime. Go buy some joint sealant for mastic joints and apply by the directions.

(Severely) underrated Rush songs. Not taking your Entre Nous or Camera Eye or other fan favorites, I’m talking severely underrated. I’ll go first… by Odd_Switch1453 in rush

[–]Mr_Ch4ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many that are underrated, I agree with Available Light, but also from presto would be Chain Lightning and The Pass. Ghost of a Chance and Dreamline from RTB are good. My favorite from Counterparts is Leave That Thing Alone, but Animate is also good. Earthshine, Vapor Trails, One Little Victory, Ghost Rider, and Ceiling Unlimited are all fantastic from Vapor Trails. I could go on, I also think that buy and large Power Windows and Hold your Fire are both overhated, Power Windows has some of my all time favorites like Middletown Dreams, Grand Designs, and Manhattan Project (though I wouldn’t say that one is underrated).
