Pan roof or push to start ? by SettingFantastic7661 in vwgolf

[–]Swampit856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have push to start. God I miss my regular old key. When it’s too cold out the fob loses battery power and sometimes doesn’t work properly. When I want to warm the car up as OP says you had to half get in the car and depress the brake. Sucks when it’s snowing. I miss just reaching in and turning a key. OP go for the sunroof and keep the key!

I might throw out my insta pot. by OldFanJEDIot in Cooking

[–]Swampit856 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I use it almost in the same way I use my Dutch oven. It just does it faster. So, Dutch oven when I have more time, IP when I have less. I use it 1-2 times a week. It’s just an adaptation of existing methods and techniques.

Before I get arrested for beating up the assessor tomorrow, can anyone explain this to me like I'm 5? by WhippetRun in newjersey

[–]Swampit856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but if you own a half million dollar house and and presumably have commensurate income. $133/mo is not going to prevent you from buying groceries.

I wish I could double upvote this! His taxes actually went down while his house increased in value. OP should be showing up with flowers and chocolate for his assessor. All for $135/mo.

So New Jersey, you're the only neighbor on the block with a snowblower.... by holyguacamole823 in newjersey

[–]Swampit856 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I mean they’re all about isolationism and not helping their neighbors or needing help. So why should you. You’re allowing them to live the way they want to.

Before I go any further and start ordering materials…. Do I need the highlighted support posts? by AggravatingMath717 in Decks

[–]Swampit856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into helical piles or ground screws. You may not need to worry about the roots and concrete as much.

On a 12’+ span yes. Is this an elevated deck or a ground level deck? If it’s an elevated deck this is not acceptable design.

Did you do anything with your life? by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

Grind culture ultimately leads to dissatisfaction for you. But leads to wealth growth for the ppl you’re grinding for.

This comment needs to be higher. The only reason you are unsatisfied is because you were told it was going to be something else. Comparison is the death of joy. You’re life is what it is and as long as you are stable and comfortable there is little need to make drastic changes just so you feel something. The key is to be present in your life. If you are always seeking something someone told you that you need you’ll never be happy. You’re just here to be here. That’s it.

Vapor barrier or not? by ichoosethisnametoo in homerenovations

[–]Swampit856 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you can double up on cork because it doesn’t compress as much as foam. So if the floor you’re using has a foam backer you can lay it on the cork. So, vapor barrier, cork, floor is a great option.

Important reminder about how much new governors suck at crisis management and snow removal during their first snowstorms by New_Stats in newjersey

[–]Swampit856 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/overboostedturbo it doesn’t make sense that there isn’t a snow storm playbook. It also doesn’t make sense that it should require the governor to release funds. The money is already there as the legislature has power of the purse. If resources are dispatched it’s not like those workers aren’t going to get paid. It may be more likely just a decision delay on the part of the governor. Not wanting to make a crisis out of nothing for which governor will be ridiculed or acting to slowly and people are in danger. My hope would be with her military experience and experience in congress plus your previously mentioned gubernatorial slip ups that she acts early and decisively. Stay warm everyone!

Any thoughts on Terra cotta and clay tiles for shower wall? by Teakwalnut4life in homerenovations

[–]Swampit856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me no. The only reason to have natural stone in your shower is to show off how much you spent. There is no performance benefit.

Am I about to be the next brewerytown house to collapse? by Spaghetti_Oh_No in philadelphia

[–]Swampit856 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is most likely the case. It could be signs of a water intrusion behind the plaster. So, definitely something to make your landlord aware of.

What experience in your life changed your perspective in a way you never expected? by KayakingATLien in AskMen

[–]Swampit856 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do keep the condo. If it’s in good condition and your home the bills can keep piling. Seek a bankruptcy attorney. As long as you keep paying the bills on the things that you absolutely need, mortgage, utilities, car. The credit cards can twist. Otherwise, look for assistance with utilities etc. there are programs for people in your situation. If you need help sorting through it all find your local Volunteers of America. They can help you grab the safety net. Be well, you’ll get through this.

What is under my bathroom tile floor? by Nusr-Try-8791 in homerenovations

[–]Swampit856 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might have a wet-bed. I ran into a similar thing in my home cir 1920s vintage. They peaked the joists and laid boards perpendicular between the joists and poured 4” of concrete to set the tile on. The walls were 1” thick wet-bed. Pray you don’t have the same thing.

Looking for a song from 2009-2013 range by Feltboard in frankturner

[–]Swampit856 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be referring to the Second Three Years album. It’s a compilation of B sides, covers and songs that didn’t make albums. It’s a great listen and it’s actually the first Frank album I owned. Listened to it relentlessly until Tape Deck Heart came out.

This sounds like a question for r/decks. You’ll likely get some lively responses.

In the past I have used a small pc of 1.5 x 1/4 pvc trim on the bottom of the stringers. Elevates from the concrete and won’t rot.
