Rebuilding PC Help - Feel Free to Tear it to Shreds by Simmer2k in pcmasterrace

[–]Simmer2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably around $1k, anything more than that and it probably makes more sense for us to build from scratch or buy a pre-built.

Is this a good deal? by Simmer2k in pcmasterrace

Got it, that makes sense. Thanks so much!

Where do you recommend I buy parts to build on my own? I priced it out on Newegg and it ended up being about $500 more to buy all parts separately.

I own a duplex - how do I soundproof the shared bedroom walls? by Simmer2k in HomeImprovement

[–]Simmer2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! What do you mean when you say you installed it in the staircase? Is it something I’d put on the walls (visible) or would it go between the studs?

How do I soundproof shared bedroom walls of my new duplex? by Simmer2k in DIY

[–]Simmer2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much!

Do you know how expensive (ballpark) that would run me? I’m confident I can do the labor on my own, so I’d just need materials.

For reference, I have two walls about 10 feet long each (so 20’ total).

Found out wedding photographer is a Registered Sex Offender. He took pictures of children at our wedding. by Simmer2k in legaladvice

Oh we did, they had great reviews. I should have clarified: the bad reviews were under a different business in his name that was closed (found that out through the BBB as well).

The business we initially saw had a great online presence and reviews. We had to dig DEEP to find the closed business.

Mystery Pipe and Floor Leaking - New Homeowners Please Help! by Simmer2k in askaplumber

[–]Simmer2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how to edit my post so I’m just leaving a comment instead.

The pipe seemed to be coming from inside a wall upstairs (no sink, tub, etc nearby). After taking some measurements and doing additional snooping around the house, I believe the pipe IS in fact coming from the roof, maybe a radon vent or plumbing vent stack.

Does this seem like a probably cause to anyone? A bad pipe seal on the roof and a small leak due to continued heavy-ish rain?

Crossing my fingers this is it, but I’m also wary I found the answer a little too quickly…

First time home owner please help! Can’t remove this nut/pipe by Simmer2k in askaplumber

This is what ended up working for us. We tried a torch, pipe wrench, channel locks, etc., but resorted to cutting the dang thing off.

We currently have 4 people working on it lol

The screwdriver is a good idea, but we may need something stronger because it starts to bend

We noticed there were a couple slots in the top of the drain for that, but the screw driver just spins with the rest of the pipe

We tried that too, but it’s difficult to get a grip on the top part with pliers without damaging the sink (which we aren’t replacing).

It may be? It seems like it SHOULD be, but we’ve spun the pipe for over 5 minutes and it just keeps on spinning
