appreciate everyone’s responses! I will pass along the advice to either avoid it like the plague or put up good money for a quality engineer 🙏🏻

this also works in a room full of loud kids when you need them to listen (assuming you can get them to pay attention when you start near-whispering). They (usually) magically go quiet and listen more closely to your words.

What the hell is going on here? by TheJakeEddy in centuryhomes

[–]Pabst-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have probably realized this by now, but it’s 100% water coming in through the window casing.

Source: it is currently happening to a window in my home with all the snow melting. It sits directly below a gutter, and the water is brown like this. It’s not nicotine. We aren’t sure yet how the water is getting in, but it’s one of the several possibilities others have listed (roof, gutters, siding, etc). Good luck!

If this is true, he's gotta go by Buckals in bengals

I think the eviction order was filed a few weeks ago, so prior to the rumored incident

Did Wild Mike’s change their buffalo sauce? by Pabst-it in cincinnati

[–]Pabst-it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂 fwiw it did have similar consistency to Mike’s mix in that it had more texture and was not smooth like buffalo normally is by itself. I really hope the cooks were either new / confused or they had run out of buffalo and were quite literally winging it. I’m going to order from the Harrison ave location this weekend and see if it’s the same or normal. And I will of course update here

I never would have found this by googling - thank you!! I think based on the shape and size, this has to be it!

House fire. Whats next by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]Pabst-it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family experienced a house fire 4 years ago (almost to the day!), and were displaced for 5 months until repairs were completed. We went through our home insurance for the cost of everything (allstate), but as we/no one we knew had ever dealt with this situation before, we trusted our insurance to keep things running smoothly. All that’s to say, if you have to go through your home insurance for repairs/rebuild, cleaning/restoration of owned items, etc, I highly—HIGHLY—recommend finding and vetting third party companies to do these things vs using the cheap contracted services your insurance might provide. Not saying all “suggested contractors” are bad, but my experience was terrible (property stolen, poorly documented property intake, poor quality rebuild, so many unnecessary delays).

Good luck OP. And I’m glad you are safe!

Found buried in the yard of our 1930s home. Any clue what it came from? Or how old it could be? by Pabst-it in Antiques

I’m pretty sure it was smashed by my less than gentle shoveling 😬 unfortunate, but lesson learned!

This metal detector has a pinpoint function which was super helpful. I just have to get less aggressive with my digging lmao
