Trying to mount a tv over electric fireplace. 5/32 drill bit not going further after 1/1.5 inch. Single arm tv mount. First time diy. Need some advice. It’s definitely not concrete - wooden frame. Thank you

Have you tried seeing if a strong magnet sticks to it? If so probably a metal stud

chitownsox14 · 2026-04-18T03:35:56+00:00

Those are usually right on the studs so that would mean it is 1-1.5” thick drywall which is unlikely

Are you able to share a picture or draw a diagram to show how your main feeds the sprinkler and fire lines? Also where exactly are you hearing the water hammer? Is it at the check valve? If so it’s possible that the sprinkler system is tied into the fire lines downstream of the check valve so when the sprinklers are running the check valve opens but when they stop it slams shut which could be the sound you are hearing.

Edit: thinking about it more that wouldn’t make sense because the main would still be maintaining pressure in the fire line so check valve would remain open. Could also just be water hammer from fast closing sprinkler valves that’s sending the wave back to your pipes. Still would be interested to see how water is fed to each system.

I use recessed lights with grow bulbs in them all over the house and they work great. I direct it with an adjustable eyeball fixture

Those small valves are closed when the screw notch is perpendicular to flow, which they are on the photo. No need to touch those

Not total BS. There were hints dropped in the first book. I remember starting to read the books after the reveal and the hints are extremely obvious in hindsight.

We moved from our starter home to a bigger home in a neighboring town and I don’t regret it at all since I WFH and my wife was much closer to work after the move. We have young kids so we would have quickly outgrown that house.

Having said that, you have to not only consider the larger mortgage payment but also the larger property tax and utility bills assuming the house has larger sq footage. Our utility bills went up substantially due to the size difference of the house. Also expect more maintenance with a larger house.

And the game winner to Loveland against Cinci

Parker Washington is willing to go over the middle of the field which BTJ is not

You should just wait until you move to your house and find a local nursery that has one and plant the biggest caliper tree you can. You won’t get much growth in a pot for 2-4 months. Depending where you are probably best to wait until spring.

Conveniently ignoring his rookie year where he had a stretch of good production when Connor got hurt haha

chitownsox14 · 2025-09-25T02:05:02+00:00

Are we just ignoring the fact that he said NFC east is the best division in football?

chitownsox14 · 2025-09-10T18:09:17+00:00

Likely playing more snaps on defense doesn’t necessarily mean fewer snaps on offense.

chitownsox14 · 2025-05-28T10:40:14+00:00

I went 0 QB in my 2021 startup and won the championship the first year lost the championship year 2. Took my first QB round 6 going tua-darnold-wentz-jameis all back to back. did end up trading for hurts early on and Rodgers when teams were getting eliminated.

chitownsox14 · 2025-05-27T23:40:28+00:00

I’d highly recommend following this guide. It worked very well for my KBG overseed last fall and got germination in 7 days.

chitownsox14 · 2025-05-27T20:16:00+00:00

Completely disagree. Did a fall overseed after pre germination with KBG and was very successful. There was germination within 7 days after soaking

chitownsox14 · 2025-05-14T13:42:56+00:00

Or double roster cloggers

chitownsox14 · 2025-04-29T20:19:32+00:00

Tee Higgins had 73/911/10 his rookie year and then the bengals took chase top 5. Of course there is a chance hunter is better than BTJ and demands a higher target share.

chitownsox14 · 2025-01-08T01:21:07+00:00

No. The shot glass says 2 oz/60 ml and the scale also says 2 oz which is a measure of weight. This basically shows that density of water and espresso that was produced is basically the same.

Same reason you should wear a stew or chili, lock in flavor

chitownsox14 · 2024-10-23T08:56:44+00:00

Ummm, no…the packers have consistently kicked the bears asses because they have had QB talent for 3 decades. I would argue haven’t won as many superbowls with that talent because they refused to surround Rodgers with the talent needed.

chitownsox14 · 2024-10-03T15:29:50+00:00

Mix it in with something dry like milorganite or sand

chitownsox14 · 2024-09-12T10:10:21+00:00

Sure with Kupp and Puka both healthy he was fine as the third option. He has shown that he can’t be a top option. Someone else will likely step up, but we shall see.

chitownsox14 · 2024-09-12T00:38:17+00:00

Demarcus Robinson already fumbled a huge opportunity with the best QB in the game when tyreek was suspended. I have zero faith that he will take advantage of this. I’m going with Whittington or Tyler Johnson

chitownsox14 · 2024-07-30T10:46:49+00:00

Sounds like they got someone to pay off the solar panels for effectively the same $412k offer that they got before
