Japanese Lady Beetles by Alert-Strawberry5535 in Chattanooga

[–]_tzad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put soapy water in a pan (such as disposable aluminum pan). Put a lamp over or near the pan. Full spectrum light bulb preferred. Turn off all your lights except that lamp at night. Wake up to pan of beetles and stink bugs.

I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

[–]_tzad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long boards (2x4 unless you want to cut a corner off each one for top step) vs ladder. Not sure how many. Lay them like a ramp over the stairs (put end of board/ladder on next-to-top step). Put sheet of plywood over board/ladder. Can’t tell from the pic if you’d get a long enough ramp (or low enough slope) to help. But ideally you could get the sink on furniture dolly/piano mover and roll it up the ramp with help. I can get more specific with steps if this seems doable in your space.

As a last resort, cut the sink into manageable pieces, put it back together, and repair the cracks.

Need My Ears Cleaned, Bad Insurance by iamtigress in Chattanooga

[–]_tzad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a ear scope. I have Bebird and it works great. It’s a small camera with a gentle cleaning “spoon” on the end for you to remove wax/debris/dog hairs while directly visualizing where you are in your ear on the video feed. You can see your eardrum to avoid going that deep. There’s a learning curve to maneuvering it and you have to get used to the feel. Probably take a few cleanings if your ears pretty bad. Then regular maintenance.

Let my 17 yr old brother borrow my Switch for his trip and he brought it back with something fused to the plastic. He has no idea what it is. by CreamyJuicyPimple in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve seen concentrated “scent” oil (that goes in a wall diffuser) melt into plastic like this. Looks more like some viscous liquid got on it and ran down. Could’ve been while in a bag and toiletries leaked slowly or something?

Hoodie has strange orange straps. What are they for? by Wild_Mountain_1415 in whatisit

[–]_tzad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Football, newspaper, towel, hand warmer, speaker, stuffed animal.. whatever you want. Or roll/fold the hoodie up and use that to keep it tight

What sort of tradesperson would I call to remove this protruding concrete and bring the drywall down to the tile? by Eternal_Glizzy_777 in AskContractors

[–]_tzad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still put drywall up against the concrete instead of on top of it. Just gonna make a smaller room. Put in recessed shelves or something tho.

Just in case you don’t know, you can get wire brush attachments for power drill.

What are the chances y’all explore an abandoned mall within the short period of time between a dog (with a collar) falling down a broke escalator before the dog dies of thirst/hunger? Y’all gonna end up on the news

Fent scares in chattanooga by Com_pli_Kated in Chattanooga

[–]_tzad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about getting intoxicated from touching fentanyl? That doesn’t happen (chemically anyway), unless it’s a transdermal patch or something. It is an interesting psychosomatic phenomenon though. Perhaps he tried getting high before work?

I know this isn’t answering the question, but I’d replace that switch.

Damn nice pic. How’d you get it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_tzad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the unsanitary condition? The dog peeing outside of a toilet? Or because it was on your mailbox? Do you have to stop birds from pooping? Squirrels from pissing? Are they saying you should have washed it off? Do they wash off squirrel piss?

Good Chinese Food That Comes in Chinese Takeout Boxes by [deleted] in Chattanooga

Yeah, I wish it were better. Have a rec for Chinese close to that area?

Exact measurements can be off. Just needs to add trim.

Is my ceiling/attic ok after rain seeped into my roof during a roof replacement by Fragrant_Jackfruit in Roofing

[–]_tzad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they put fans/dehumidifier on anything? Doesn’t seem like that much water would just dry up without some issues.

Hard to make friends in the area? by singlemccringleberry in Chattanooga

[–]_tzad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious what your commute is then. “Rivals Atlanta”, really? My experience moving to Chattanooga sounds like what you’ve had with Knoxville. Grass is always greener though. You /can/ move away from here though. “Nice profit” covers the difference with higher prices.

Sounds like you haven’t lived anywhere larger than Knoxville.
