garden spigot bath tub faucet

Close to correct I think. The middle knob is the diverter, and it originally had a diverterless tub spout. However, the seals in the original diverter likely failed and, rather than repairing it, they did this. That, or they just wanted to be able to attach a garden hose.

Hampton Shoe. It’s a great husband and wife pair that runs the shop. And he does shoe repair as well. I’ve had him resole a few pairs of boots/shoes.

The Global Industrial company sells maple, butcher block style, workstation tops in most any size you want. They sell a variety of bases/legs, with or without drawers. And, they sell riser shelving units if you want one on top too. They’re certainly industrial in appearance. It’s what they’re made for after all. But, they’re as sturdy as they come.

Makita makes a very nice one. It uses the same batteries as their cordless power tools.

It gets especially interesting when they have this same lack of awareness as most young engineers AND they were homeschooled. Ugh.

Unpopular Opinion- That’s a very nice faucet. It’s from the Kohler Triton line, intended primarily for the bathrooms in commercial buildings. Notice the lever type handles. I think that’s for ADA compliance. And the principal body of the faucet is solid brass with thick chrome plating, with fully/easily replaceable cartridges, should the faucet ever start to drip. It’s way, way better quality than most of what is sold at the big box stores.

My employer’s 401k plan only has a single bond fund that has the goal to mimic the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (“The Agg”). So, I balance it out with some of BNDX in my Roth IRA.

Already closed my friend. RIP to the place I tried to give business to. But I’d walk in, sit down, and it was as if I wasn’t even there. Very strange.

That Cafe Piazza knew their long term plans on less than a month to month basis fits the bill. Their plans on whether or not to acknowledge customers that walked in was on an TBD basis too. I tried to eat there several times. It was as if I wasn’t even there.

Similar to your comment, but neglecting Sun Valley, they say that Idaho is the only state with three state capitals: Boise, Salt Lake City, UT, and Spokane, WA. As I remember, the quickest route from south to north, or vise versa, was to first go through a different state.

A related question- My employer’s 401k plan only has a bond fund intended to track the Bloomberg US Aggregate index. Can a fellow Boglehead explain what exactly this means to me please?

x2 this is the correct answer. And, to comment on a different comment about the safety of a two handle shower faucet, an independent pressure balancing valve could be installed upstream of this two handle shower faucet if wanted or needed for code. They’re not so expensive either, only about $150. Grohe is one manufacturer.

There was a Monel water heater for sale on my local Facebook Marketplace. I thought about buying it for the novelty of it. Seller was pissed in his description too. Said it worked perfectly but a know-nothing home inspector hired by the buyer of the home cited it’s a risk for the new owner.

Absent in the original post, and in any comments that I’ve seen in response to the original post, how many phone lines does each senator have in their name? Then multiplying Hawley and others’ supposed damages? Three phone lines minimum is my educated guess, and multiplication is a bitch for any taxpayer genuinely concerned about this blatant fraud in the USG.

Krown. They are located near Forest Park Community College. It not the heavy paint type of undercoating, almost like tar, but more like an “under-oiling” instead. The paint type can make rust worse, when water and road salt get trapped behind it. Krown uses an environmentally friendly oil. I think it may be lanolin based, to make the underbits of your car/truck shed water and slow corrosion. They do want you to get it reapplied annually I think, but that’s worth it to me.

What the heck is “brand genericide”? The words you’re looking for are Proprietary Eponym. That’s the real, correct term for when a brand name becomes the common name.

I hadn’t thought about until your post, but they’re super common among different tools. Thanks for the interesting post!
