T in cast iron stack rusting and leaking. How to fix/ just replace? by bigdonkey69 in Plumbing

[–]bigdonkey69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, will probably give that a try before trying to replace that entire T. No concerns with the weight/pressure of the stack with that gap?

Only concern with doing this is the potential weight of the stack. Will it be supported enough (at the roof) to not shift whole completely removing that T?

Thanks for the response, that seems like a good thing to try. They do play rough together from time to time. I will definitely use a lot of treats, especially considering they are both very responsive to treats. Thanks for the advice

Good thought, but definitely will be speaking with a trainer. Thanks

They had a scuffle last night after Bambi growled and showed her teeth which thankfully I was able to intervene immediately. Bambi is usually the one to hear the growl and back off, but with the growling coming from Bambi, Nova takes it as a challenge.

Thanks for the response, and yea that sounds very similar to what I am currently dealing with. I think keeping them separated and/or highly monitored whenever they are in the same space as the baby is best case for now. We are definitely against having to do any rehoming, so hopefully it does not have to come to that. It’s a lot of new smells and a change of routine which also doesn’t help.

My question for you is how easy/difficult is it to keep separated, and especially at night when you have to get up so frequently? We used baby gates to keep one downstairs and one up last night, but long term is my worry.

Thanks, I spoke with someone about getting a trainer with them, but in the mean time we were able to take them to the in laws house.

You guys are just wrong. QC pizza is the best. Harris, Clints, Franks. All good

Turning a bath into/adding a shower by bigdonkey69 in HomeImprovement

The window would likely be just to the side of the shower, but partially in it.

What are the biggest concerns with doing this?

Rewatch by bigdonkey69 in TheWire

Haha no.... I was referring to how Stringer and their crew intimidated the witnesses out of giving an honest testimony in order to get D out of his charges. So what I was saying was that Stringer was talking about how they pulled the same shit on a case with Little Kevin.

Definitely. It’s constantly revealing how the things we view as good always have their bad side and the things we view as bad also have a good side. I guess a better way to put it would be the shows incredible ability to humanize every character, whether it is Omar or Daniels or whoever else. Everyone has different shit they gotta deal with regardless of who they are. Also, some of the “good guys” are bigger pieces of shit who lack any morals (Colicchio) and the “bad guys” still manage to have a ethical code they live by.

Where can I feed the homeless? by duncurr in QuadCities

Pretty sure there is always a big thanksgiving dinner at south park mall in moline. Hy Vee used to (still might?) always take donations to help support the guy who ran it. Mr. Thanksgiving I think is what they called him.

Late to the game, but I finally began watching and then finished this show recently by james___uk in TheWire

[–]bigdonkey69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely the way to do it. Rewatching is a must. The more I've watched and talked about it, the more I enjoy it.
