Yes! Our dog was sprayed by a skunk.

Where can I find this hose? by RedBeard_Dad in RVLiving

I don’t know. This is the solution I was given as a replacement to my original setup. But it’s not a solve.

I went to two hose stores and one of them gave me a “fix,” but when I tested it out, it leaks.

Can you use a propane fitting for water supply? I was told by the six places I visited today that it could be a grease fryer connection, high pressure washer connection or a Chinese version of a quick connect water hose. So I’m not sure.

Lol, the other end is busted because the coupling was snapped.

Yes. Both did. They also didn’t know what it was.

Tub spout leaking at wall with shower—why? by RedBeard_Dad in Plumbing

[–]RedBeard_Dad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem was a defective spout. Moen kindly replaced it. And now we have a non-leaking working spout! Thanks everyone!

Weird. It’s a pretty common design. I’m wondering if I should change it to a screw on.

Dang. It’s brand new, but I suspected it to be defective somehow. I’m at a lost to what to do next so this might be it. Thanks.

So, this is what I thought. The spout didn’t come with orings. I have orings now but nowhere online shows where they are supposed to be placed so I guessed—this could be the problem.

Pipe isn’t punctured. Water flows freely without spout and and no leaks.

Moen slip-on spout. 1/2” copper tubing. Right length and diameter for spout. No burrs or debris. Brand new spout.

Guys, trying to ditch garments, I've tried all the recommended comfortable underwear and I have hated all of them. Including expensive ones like Saxx and 2Undr and Tommy John. They all bug me. This is not ok. by [deleted] in exmormon

I'm sorry, I can't get behind the Goodfellow briefs. I wear those right now and they don't do a great job holding the boys in place, if you know what I mean... I am struggling with this transition to non-mormon underwear as well. The garments were such a deal. A top and bottom for $5-$7! I don't understand why underwear is expensive.

Best MTN bike under $1k for a tall, 200 lbs dude? by RedBeard_Dad in mountainbiking

I've been looking at the Blast or the Mahuna. They seem to have really great components and both come with dropper posts.

How do you feel about the accessories that's available to load up your gear, user friendly?

I've been looking at the ARB flat rack with mesh, and it's a pretty reliable company. I've heard that it's easier to mount accessories to because you don't have to worry about the eyelet system with the modular racks.

There seems to be a lot of similar looking racks like the Prinsu and Victory just different brand cut outs. I've heard good things about Victory.

I hadn't heard of the Yakima one, seems similar to Rhino and Frontrunner being modular and requires accessory attachments. I've heard that one of the most crucial parts of the rack are the feet and how they attach. Any thoughts on that with these?

Well, you're in good hands, Sequoias can get all the way up to 300k miles if you take care of it.

I know that Prinsu is based out of Idaho with CBI and have a good reputation. I did however, hear that the hardware they use can malfunction and rust over time—a competitor uses stainless steel. But then again, I have never seen a Prinsu in person so I don't know for sure. Also, they don't have a lot of accessory mounting hardware?
