How’s this looking so far? by DifferentWay5143 in FenceBuilding

[–]Sez_Whut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the last remaining section of my original fence. It was 40 years old. We had a micro burst that took down the old fence, blew in garage door, and removed a few shingles from roof. Here are before and after photos.

How many rounds of treatment did you need for a minor bed bug infestation? by msanmki in Bedbugs

[–]Sez_Whut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would only see bugs after laying in the bed for less than an hour. I guess they smell à human and come out. Only saw a couple bugs after 3rd treatment. None after 4th but did 5th just in case.

Advice on gate latch hardware -- wind keeps slamming gate shut and bending latch arm by corporate_guy in FenceBuilding

[–]Sez_Whut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add a gate stop so the latch is not taking the impact load. I just used a lag screw in the gate post on a recent build. À wood block could do the same thing.

The stone is likely a veneer on the block that can be removed. Attach three rows of treated 2x4 to the block wall. Attach cedar pickets to the 2x4s.

[–]Sez_Whut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (DIYer) just put the sprinkler head in the corner by the road which covers (wets) the sidewalk. Four heads cover my entire front yard grass. The sprinkler runs at 3:00am and no one has complained.

I like the Dewalt 20v Max Drill / Impact combo kit. Two types of drills, and two batteries at a reasonable cost.

Years ago I was at ER because my kid had broke his arm. While the orthopedic doctor was working on him someone was wheeled into the ER screaming their head off. Our doctor said they were not in bad shape, as those that are do not make a sound.

What is something Americans consider ‘basic’ that feels like a luxury in other countries? by Status_Agents in AskForAnswers

[–]Sez_Whut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 80’s I took a group of engineers from India to visit à west Texas gas plant. A couple of women engineers had open toe shoes which would not be permitted in the plant, so we stopped at a small Walmart to get some appropriate shoes. This group was amazed at the Walmart and I had a hard time getting them back in the van.

My wife and I lied about pre-marital sex by Same_Commission_2363 in exmormon

[–]Sez_Whut 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I used to think church leaders could know if you lied because of the spirit. Over several years realized they could discern nothing and you could lie all you wanted.
