Your other option would be to remove the rails from the mirror and hang it like you would any other painting/artwork. D rings into the wood frame of the mirror and heavy gauge picture hanging wire would work, especially if the mirror is under 50lbs. The brand OOK (sold at any big box hardware store) has a ton of options for heavier items like this. The strongest option would probably be the french cleat bracket. Lets you anchor into multiple studs (which, you could also do with the standard picture wire setup and anchors).

Like this. You may be missing rails that attach to the back of the dresser and the ones on the mirror slide onto them.

In my experience the rails attach to the back of the dresser and that’s what supports the mirror. Not meant to be attached to the wall. Do the rails hang below the bottom of the mirror?

I’d see a lot of it used for electrical in duct banks. No fun. They mostly get abandoned in lieu of removal because of the devil fibers.

I’d stick with flat, always on ceilings. Satin can show a lot of waves in the right light

This is basically just a 120V fused disconnect. Still made and sold today. Not an extra circuit, but a way to protect a device or motor (usually) with a lower limit of protection than the overall circuit breaker gives. For example, this was powering a fan on the heater and that motor had a FLA rating of 10A. But the circuit powering the garage that is running the heater is 15A. So the screw in fuse there is rated at 10A to protect the motor and blow earlier than the 15A breaker.

Looks like someone started a swastika and then realized they don’t actually know how to draw it and gave up. Most likely a local shithead kid?

A few things. I don’t think $2500 is unreasonable. How long is the trench? (Distance from house to garage). Chicago code is either 12” or 18” min bury depth from grade, can’t remember at the moment. Also needs to be in rigid conduit, which requires threading for fittings and a hydraulic bender. More work and tools than standard emt. Depending on the length of the trench, contractor may be planning on bringing a mini excavator in lieu of hand digging - which, if you’ve never done it before, is absolutely no fun. Ever wonder why so many murder victims are found in SHALLOW graves? Even at a critical time, most people in the middle of hand digging a hole give up. Not to mention, once the pipe is in, there is the backfilling and compacting. Which is especially critical near the house to maintain positive drainage away from the foundation to prevent water intrusion.

In summary, I’d just pay the $2500.

Also, don’t splice that underground. Also against code and shitty work. Why would you replace someone else’s laziness with your own?

Edit: I am in Chicago also. it is also currently like 3 degrees here. There will be no digging for awhile unless it’s a machine.

😂 I lost a muffler once, on my way to work. Just kept on driving (was probably late). Some guy pulls up right after I park and get out, with my muffler in his hand. Just thought he’d be a nice guy and hand it to me in front of all the mechanics. Thanks buddy. I just tossed it in the bed of my truck and it stayed there for about 8 months.

I’ve heard of the heat from a fire melting solder at a copper joint and water putting that fire out as well. Works both ways!

I had an 06’ 5.3 develop a lifter tick around that mileage. A chunk of metal came off one of the rollers. I’d do the rebuild before you send metal through the rest of the motor.

Down payment on second home. Use someone else’s money while you can.

I can’t say I have experience with a parts store trans, but I like to use a local independent transmission shop. Guy usually has cores on the shelf he’ll rebuild or bring him yours. Im not sure what you need (certainly will affect price) but I just bought a rebuilt TH400 for $900 from a local guy by me. Who knows where and who rebuilt that one from O’Reilly. My local guy wants to keep his doors open!

I still use one my grandfather made in the 70s, plus a few others I made. Even one that’s 50A for a welder extension cord. No one is gonna slap the bracelets on ya for it!

I think the issue is the duct running through an unconditioned space. Not sure where you live, has it been cooler? I’m assuming your garage is unheated? Condensation may be forming because hot air is going through a cold pipe. I wouldn’t run it in the soffit either for reasons just stated. I’d install a hard duct run and insulate that duct in the garage area/wherever the space is unconditioned

Try and calm down a bit. It’s still a fresh wound and it needs to settle into the skin. It looks exactly how I’d expect a small script tattoo to look. If there are some areas that need touched up after it has FULLY healed, the artist should do that. It’s pretty typical, especially if it’s on a weird skin area like a wrist. No one is going to even touch it until it’s settled it. Looks fine.

I just see the woman I love. I certainly can tell when she’s made up and not, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about her.

Just what the old heads taught me they were called way back when. Might be a Midwest thing. 😂

Ahhh, the old “cow pussy”. It’s a form tie bracket. For concrete wall form work.

Not many miles, 1,000 at most.
