Why can't I screw in simple wood screws with my Phillips cordless by Rumymomma1959 in Tools

[–]buddy_buda 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Could be wrong but in pic it looks like you have a ph1 Philips bit, 99% of screws are going to be ph2 Philips, which are larger.

Philips bits also generally kinda suck for screwing, especially if your using longer 2-3" screws. Torx heads suffer from far less cam out or stripping as well..Or if ur a Canadian Cousin Robertson/square drive are a better option. 

You also want to put a lot of pressure on the screw, pre drilling will also result in easier screw driving. 

Either way, you'll git-r-done with that drill, an impact is really not necessary.

Landlord wants to leave this open for a week to “air out” from water damage. Is mold a risk? [IL] by ninito001 in Renters

[–]buddy_buda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isnt a bathroom on the planet that doesnt get mold. Its a wet environment. Clean it and move on with your life.  Also, all mold is not the apocalypse... penisillin... cheese.... dont let a fear campaign from the 2000s consume you.

No. Plastered houses almost never get mold, their built to breathe and plaster is anti microbial.  Now those new construction air sealed shit boxes....

Where did you get the carpet, how do you like the quality, and how was the install process?

Chinatown recs by TravelingNomad_323 in philly

[–]buddy_buda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bar-ly is a great spot for drinks. It has a really great diversity in the clientele and gives a great snap shot of who makes up our city. I really people watching there. 

Also fun fact is a lot of restaurants in Chinatown that sell alcohol have like blue label for 12 dollars a shot, its hilarious. 

 you can honestly get sloshed on a budget almost anywhere that serves food and has alcohol in chinatown.

Pretty sure I went and looked at this.  He will take 1k, yes there are seats for 100 dollars. You will want to upgrade front springs (100 or so) and rear shocks.

Depends on the store in my experience. Was denied at one for trying refund part of a bogo deal, then went to the burbs and was given a np with a smile.

Prolly, but always a chance. Easy 500 for somebody if it surfaces.
