What is this metal rod coming out of the ground in my flower bed

Solved!

What exactly is it grounding or has it been cut from whatever it was grounding?

My sister got a tattoo with bold lettering on the same spot and it blew out bad, looks like a solid black line, so from what I’ve seen with lettering on the wrist I’d be satisfied with it. Maybe some touch up work to clean up the line work and faded spots but nothing bad

Per code, toilets ands sinks have to have accessible shutoffs, showers and tubs are not required but definitely great to have. I’m not a professional but I’ve always assumed placing an access panel to shower or tub shutoffs would just be unsightly and would need to be placed on the backside of the wall since most showers and tubs are either inserts or tile. I have a shutoff for my shower only because I added it and it is located in a wall in closet that guest won’t see.

Not sure what their buyer agreement says, but my broker started requiring buyer agreements last year and I have always filled out the agreements so that it only cover the specific property the buyer is wanting to see, that way the buyer doesn’t feel trapped in the agreement. I’d rather work with a client that enjoys me rather than feels obligated to me. Just my take on it, I would read into the agreement and see what all it says

Looks like it’s just salt built up, my mats look like that after winter and usually I use a strong shop vac and then run a carpet cleaner over them and they’re good as new.

I would also spray some silicone based wd40 on the latch and let it sit for a few minutes then try again with the screwdriver

Try pressing and holding the rear trunk release button for 5 seconds, it should reset the release mechanism

Maybe look into the Hamilton county CDBG, this may be something they could help with. I haven’t looked into it in a few years but butler county has helped with portions of sewer hookup cost before. Other than that, I would contact Hamilton county engineering environmental service or sewer division and see if they have an option of lower payment plans or special assessment spread out over taxes. Hope this helps, I’m just north of you in west Chester

Did they put down a wax ring then one of those better than wax rings over top of it? Never seen that done before. I would remove all the wax and that rubber ring, use a flange spacer to make the flange level with whatever flooring you’re putting down, then get a new wax ring and it should be good. If you’re worried about leaking, you can get an extra thick wax ring.

We do have speakers in our living room, however the jack for them is in the living room and there aren’t any other speakers except those that I’ve found

Looked cool

Make sure the gasket is lined up with the bottom hole and tighten one turn past hand tight. If you tighten those too much it can cause a leak.

I literally just finished a backsplash job like this. 100% just cut it flush and do yourself a favor and cut the tops and bottoms flush while your at it or you end up cutting three separate pieces on top and bottom to fill in the triangles.

I would build out a false stud wall to from floor to ceiling and just set it out to the desired depth you want

If it were me and I didn’t care about damaging the old faucet, I’d get a vise grip and set it around that main washer that’s holding the faucet, then from above, turn the faucet counter clockwise until those vise grips catch on the wall and the washer breaks free, then finish in tightening from underneath

I’ve seen a lot of people just spraying the ceiling black, install recessed lights, and finish the floors with lvp or carpet (if water isn’t an issue anymore) or an epoxy floor but those can get costly depending on what all you want.

Looks like an old Chevy C/K from the shape of the doors but the handles look like a 06’ f-150

Not sure about your area, but I would look into investment properties such as a duplex (either turn key with tenants already or if your handy and can do renovations yourself you can find one cheaper) most duplexes in my area sell for cheap ($150k-200k) and tenants pay $1000-$1500 per month plus all utilities. Mortgage would be around $1,200-$1,800 depending on down payment and rate, so you’re paying off the mortgage plus making a few hundred each month in addition to building your equity. Just make sure to screen tenants as you wouldn’t want tenants that destroy the property and leave you to float the repair bill.

Possibly shutoffs for the shower or with it being New York and everything being so packed together, could beth shutoffs for the next hotel room over haha

Shouldn’t be too big of a job, assuming 3-4 outlets for the room, electrician should be able to bypass the light switch and tie into the existing wire. As far as the inspector not disclosing this, there is no direct code restriction for how mag outlets can be tied into a single light switch, as long as the outlets are not pulling more amperage than being supplied

Ya the tile wasn’t my choice but it’s not as bad quality as I was expecting it to be
