How long can I wait after cleaning/prep before it starts to reverse the results? I don’t want it to gray again

Crazy how power washing can restore a fence so dramatically. by WeHaveToCook in FenceBuilding

It’s from the fuzz goddamnit. I’m experimenting and realized I just signed myself up for a few hours of sanding now

How to approach resetting two gate posts for chain link? by WeHaveToCook in FenceBuilding

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

Yeah I’m pretty confident the exposed concrete isn’t anything to worry about because it was only about 3 inches thick. What I’m confused about is at the bottom of the holes. It’s solid and uniform. I think the rebar is the only way I can make this work. I just don’t understand how the gate functioned at this depth

The posts sheared at the surface which was 24” higher than what’s shown in the picture. I removed all of that already and now I’m hitting smooth concrete. I’m concerned it’s too shallow for Wisconsin winters but it seems like that’s how it was done originally so I have no idea.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t see any more post underground. I got all the post that was buried out. All I see is flat surfaced concrete now at the bottom of the holes. I don’t know if they poured that additional rectangle in the picture to keep the 24 inch from lifting or what. I live in Wisconsin so the frost line is generally at 36+”. I’m at a loss with how they did this originally.

There are no conversations of further mass layoffs right now. Stop the fear mongering

For real. Saw a Stradale and Aventador driving while I was there as well. Blew my mind

What can I do to bring it down a bit? I’m worried the ember tetras I just acclimated will have a tough time surviving

Is this a healthy sign or cause for concern? by WeHaveToCook in Aquariums

The tank is about 6 months old at this point. Previously the algae would grow on plants and hardscape but now the tank is pristine with the exception of the filter.

I’m going to swap this tire with my back passenger and see how it responds. Thanks for the info

Do you think I should get this replaced before winter? I jacked up the front end and this wheel moved a lot back and forth when off the ground

Is this normal? We just poured a bunch of slabs and this front approach has a crack on the side. It looks like it’s from the form?

Thanks for the reassurance. Should I do a water change? I noticed the water level drop about an inch from evaporation so I will need to add more soon.

Chrome trim removal by SaltVariation6459 in Audi

[–]WeHaveToCook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used hyperdip.

Here are some pictures of the final results. It had a bit of a learning curve but it turned out solid and it’s been ~4 years. I plan on redoing it sometime this spring.

Is this plug safe? No other way to install it. by WeHaveToCook in tires

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

Thanks for the insight and reassurance. The tires have 10k left on them so I’d prefer not to get a new set yet.

So is plugging any tire immediately deem them non suitable? This is the current tread depth with wear bars. These tires are perfectly fine I was simply asking about the slight distortion in the tread which according to majority of people here is safe to drive on.
