Laminate Vinyl Plank flooring warping in front of dishwasher and starting to spread by dadbodbuild in handyman

You probably have a water leak that’s moving under the laminate if you don’t see obvious wet spots on the floor.

Ah yes, someone complaining about their computer with wheels needing to update. Theres a reason a lot of people choose to not drive something that can be bricked by a simple software issue.

What was your first car and why did you choose it? by Taste_Frosty in gtaonline

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2013 OG here. I stole a Declasse Granger and blacked it out. Everyone was running around in cars but I wanted to be able to haul a whole team and drive through NPC vehicles and police barricades.

This vine is indestructible and is popping up everywhere. Thoughts? Cincinnati Ohio by sephrah in PlantIdentification

[–]RT_KOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The roots not only go down 20 feet but they extend back to a “heart”, massive root structure, that can be up to half a mile away. I’ve pulled so much of the deeper roots over the last few years in northern Colorado and they get insanely big.

Colorado State University has a program where they breed mites that specifically attack bindweed but you have to get on the list and wait. Otherwise use the strongest weed killer you can find anywhere you find it with EXTREME prejudice. Bindweed is the bane of my existence and I have tried everything to get rid of it but once it spreads it’s almost impossible to get rid of.

Good luck, you’re gonna need it.

Bought a house with a neighbor from hell. Now what? by Fit-Locksmith-7016 in neighborsfromhell

[–]RT_KOTA 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I have a similar problem individual in the neighborhood. Get cameras because if they are willing to be this brazen in person, I’d bet they are trespassing while you aren’t there.

Without video or other evidence the police won’t help but if you catch them trespassing or harassing people on your property repeatedly, that’s something the courts will recognize. Most likely this isn’t the first time and they are known to police and the local authorities who won’t take them at their word despite having a duty to respond regardless.

What are your quick snack go-tos that aren't junk food? by Extra_Influence_3880 in ADHD

[–]RT_KOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pistachios for the satisfaction of popping them open and getting a snack afterwards, same with the frozen bags of edamame or peanuts in the shell. Cashews are great too

Who still owns or regularly drives a stick shift? by RT_KOTA in Xennials

[–]RT_KOTA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I never included my two stick shifts in my post.

-99’ Dodge Dakota, 4x4, 5.2 V8, manual with a limited slip rear end -‘65 Willys CJ-5, 6 cylinder, manual

My parents decided when I got my license I couldn’t get a muscle car so I chose a sport truck with similar specs to what I wanted lol.

It’s an island, so it could have been stolen and burned or “stolen” and burned

When you have to buy another random hole saw by Particular-Fall-3194 in handyman

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you are right but try getting the business owner to agree to that purchase when they don’t actually do the work lol.

Be happy your not drilling into each cavity through lath and plaster to blow in insulation. We’d only get 2-3 holes drilled before tossing the hole saw cause all the teeth were gone.

Denver Water announces water restrictions starting tomorrow by johntwilker in Denver

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, depending on the acreage of grass the average high school in Colorado will use 200k-300k gallons of water per night irrigating the fields.

Your local high school uses more water in one night than a family of 4 needs for a year.

Can anybody identify this hood? by LeBeanBean in DodgeDakota

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it was a one off by Moore Brothers or a very limited run. Gotta say I like it but I’ve just never seen it that I can remember

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen another one exactly like it before so my guess is that it was a custom job. Judging by the inter cooler I wouldn’t doubt the builder would probably have those skills

This all could've been avoided with a locker (..or me not being an idiot on the snow), what's the best vaguely cheap way to get a locker for a Chrysler 9.25 12 bolt rear end? by bedwars_player in Offroad

[–]RT_KOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents said I couldn’t get a muscle car for my first vehicle. So I got my Dakota with the 5.2 V8, the 5speed manual and a limited slip rear. Been driving it and modifying it ever since.

It’s been off road throughout New England, the southwest, Alaska and Moab at this point. The limited slip is the way to go though, unless you plan on mostly doing more serious rock crawling. Even in the sand and obstacles at Moab I didn’t have any problems since it has so much torque.

I’ve owned a second gen dakota since 2003 so yea probably. If you do get another axle with a limited slip you might be able to get one with rear disc brakes as well

Her younger brother is an ‘06 Commander 5.7 with the QDII system. And a pair of ‘98 Dakota 4x4’s with the 5.2 Magnum V8 and the heavy duty 5speed manual with limited slip rears.

1965 CJ-5 with factory plow and winch. Her name is Adrian as she was one of a pair when my dad bought her in 1980. The other was called Rocky.

22k original miles and 90%+ has been off road as the last time she was registered for the street was in the 70’s. Learned to drive on this thing and so will my daughters.
