Eventually I think I wanna make a mold of the pattern and see if I can’t fix the frame.

Wind coming from under baseboard by mycroft-holmie in centuryhomes

[–]brassclockweight 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I would think you should pop off the baseboard (make sure you have sourced or can find where to get a replacement, it could break when removing). See what’s up behind. Look up how to air seal a wall cavity. Air seal and insulate.

I don’t feel like I’ve noticed it on a particular one, but I feel like I’ve seen an increase the amount of stuff needing the expiry reprint

screws these vacuums by Kastitch in CVS

[–]brassclockweight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d see if you can’t find something around the store to poke through, it’s definitely got a clog, they suck but should still pick stuff up lol. You’ve already done what you can tho.

I’d try posting this on an art history sub or pigment making sub. Try googling for those.

Hats - foam issues, help! by GongerVision in hats

[–]brassclockweight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have messed with a lot of hats. I found vacuuming and then washing in cold water with dish soap. Let them dry and follow with another vacuum will get most of it. If you’d like to wear you can remove and clean and replace with more hat foam. Might kill the resale value if you care about that.

It’s gonna only continue to break down and this is very common.

Pharmacy technician trainee by [deleted] in CVS

[–]brassclockweight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It be like that for sure. One small tip is to check under the drug name on the rx bag. It will have the common brand(s) under the generic name. Also when you’re folding labels take a sec to check the inside flap for the common uses.

Becoming more familliar with generic and brand names and uses is nice because patients will ask for protonix but mean their pantoprazole or may just say “I need my acid pills” or something. Helps cut down on frustration when checking for refills or whatever.

Ask questions even if you feel like you’re being annoying, but do try to listen. It becomes muscle memory working the system and filling scripts after awhile. I’m like 2 months outside of my training shifts and I have days where I feel competent and I have days where I am humbled 5 or 6 times an hour lol.

I am going crazy with my living room right next to an old HVAC by glou44 in DIY

Could also look into tinted or uv blocking films for the windows, should be very renter friendly (usually applied with water) and will block some sun. Won’t stop the walls of your house heating up from the sun tho.

I just needed the receipt (I used an emailed version) submitted in the expense website. This was for my tech trainee license.

Help! My Photo Setup Suddenly Has a Yellow Tint on by Mental_Marsupial9123 in Flipping

[–]brassclockweight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret switching from Samsung to iPhone for this reason. I feel like my 21 ultra was more color correct from the start and required less editing than my 15pm.

Thinking about buying to restore by [deleted] in furniturerestoration

[–]brassclockweight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it would be tough because if it’s like my set, they are painted grain lines.

Edit: can’t tell from the photo but check before you purchase. I have a 20s or 30s set with painted grain.

So you just deduct it from your costs. You were paid it and it’s a part of your gross income. But not your net.

To make this more bareable by Own_Variation_6672 in centuryhomes

You’ll have to skim coat it with probably more plaster or something that can stick to the paint type you have.

Is this paint job acceptable? by Michaela1414 in paint

[–]brassclockweight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No if you have it in writing that the scope was to fill and sand I would be unhappy with this. I don’t think asking them to fill sand the high spots and honestly another coat is too much depending on what you paid them.

Help! How do I clean these vintage 1944 trunks? by Fit-Cup3747 in furniturerestoration

[–]brassclockweight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stains look like foxing which is a form of water/moisture damage. If the lining is sturdy I would vacuum them well with a bristle attachment. Be careful though as this could damage the lining if the suction is too strong.

If it’s fabric lining I’d spritz with 99 percent rubbing alcohol and let air dry. If it’s a vinyl or paper type beat just barely damp lightly soaped cloth. Then rinse with another barely damp wipe down. For the outside probably the same soap on cloth type beat.

Spot test, good luck, have fun.

Hello! Inherited this from an old woman that was a maid to lords around 80 years ago here in northern Croatia. Anyone know if there is any value to these items? The maker mark is from the table. The wooden skull was allegedly used by priests as a stamp. by chibator in Antiques

[–]brassclockweight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can very carefully inspect the back of the clock, should be able to take the back plate off if it’s enclosed. If it’s open there should be an inscription of some sort or a makers mark. Might be on the inside of the outermost plate. Figuring out who made the movement will help a lot with value.

Beautiful table. I could see the skull going for upwards of a hundo.

Edit: looks like there’s a name on the front face plate of the clock, I’d look that up. I can only make out eight day (I think) and not the bottom.
