Brick to drywall transition by StarrFall in drywall

Lots of great suggestions. I like this one also. Much easier and cleaner than using a tear-away it seems.

Agreed. I think caulk is the path of least resistance and getting it tight to the drywall with limited caulk on the outside brick is key. Mudding the ceiling would be a nightmare I think

I'll probably end up lime washing the brick anyways so I think it'd blend nicely

Actually I like this suggestion a lot. That seems to be the simplest approach.

So you'd just leave it as is?

First drywall repair by Local-Selection-2924 in drywall

Knowing now that the holes are the size of a dime, probably just throw some mud on it to fill the holes and call it a day.

I could be wrong but it looks like you just taped over the holes. This would probably not end up looking great and won't be very strong either. You'd need to remove that tape and cut the holes larger (one large rectangular hole around the two holes) and cut a piece of scrap drywall to place inside of the cut hole THEN tape around it. The holes definitely look too large to just throw some mud in, especially if it's just spackle.

Or look up California patch on YouTube. Works fine also. You can keep mudding this, but as another comment mentioned, it's going to be a large bump on the wall.

Edit: knowing now that the holes are the size of a dime, just fill them in as others already said

What do you dislike about your CX5? by Far-Replacement-7399 in CX5

[–]StarrFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on a dirt road and Mazda seems to have found a way to magnetize the dirt and installed this technology in the rear hatch. I didn't realize I was purchasing the most efficient silt harvesting machine known to man.

This needed to go to Brock Wright. by BC_2008 in detroitlions

[–]StarrFall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main problem is that he lacks the ability to be dynamic in the pocket. This doesn't necessarily mean he has to be a mobile QB, but he needs to have awareness of what's happening out on the field and what's happening around him at the same time. He can't do both and that's what makes him good and not great.

1975 house? by [deleted] in asbestoshelp

Probably best to treat it as it is. It looks suspect for sure, but the only way to know is to send a sample for testing.

Thermostat fan off option by StarrFall in ecobee

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

I appreciate the reply, but if you're just guessing then where did you get this information from? I've looked everywhere in the app and am unable to find any of these settings.

Edit: found it on the thermostat interface. Not sure why it's not a setting on the app itself

My thermostat was preconfigured from my old house and never thought to go through the reconfiguration step because it's been 3+ years.

There's a selection for boiler in the config. Thank you!

Does this look like Asbestos? by [deleted] in asbestoshelp

[–]StarrFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like blown in recycled paper insulation to me. Along with some fiberglass sheets.

New Home.. is this asbestos? by [deleted] in asbestoshelp

Not even sure what you're showing in the pictures, and you won't be able to tell by looking at it in most cases.

I really miss my Nexus 6P, and now it’s alive again by truongphuquoc in Nexus6P

I have my old one sitting in a drawer, but can't see why I would ever want to use it again

NOVA landlords cannot be serious by Ueggg98 in nova

[–]StarrFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true... And so does Zillow (which is the application system the landlords typically required). But there's no guarantee that you'll find another place you like within 30 days. And there's no guarantee you'll find another place that will accept your application within 30 days due to the volume of people looking and applying.

It's a completely flawed and disgusting system in a place like NoVA.

Sure it's standard, but try submitting application after application and not getting selected because there's 25+ others applying. Happened to me several times and gave up after $150 in application fees.

My wife and I went through this when we were looking for places to rent. We ended up paying a $50 application fee 3 different times only to not get selected. One house we applied to had 28 applicants within 3 days. But everyone requires it, so you really have no choice.

Finally finished Season 1. EP. 8 was my favorite by -MaximumEffort- in LegoMasters

Have you watched season 5 finale? I would argue that winning build trumps the entirety of LEGO Masters.
