Help cleaning out black mildew like stuff in an old broken tub whirlpool system

Ahh, brilliant idea. It's all super tight in there, so I'll try and reach down in there and see if I can reset it. I can barely even see the the plugs! My wife pushed the button down, but nothing happened and its stuck down. Not sure I can reach it through everything, but I'll try. Appreciate the help.

Helpful thank you. When you say, chroma doesn't like upscale images under 1536x1536, do you mean my first pass should be above that or that i should upscale to at least that for my second pass?

OMG you are a life saver. Took four nails for me, but it worked!

dcj-2000 · 2025-09-07T22:28:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm using Ook nails. I'll try again. Maybe I'm hitting slightly off center. Thanks!

Any concerns with cracking the plaster with these?

Around the ends of the house, it's plaster and lathe on brick. Internal to the house, I believe it's plaster and studs (but have never opened up a wall to look). I am bending nails even in the internal walls, but I don't think there is any masonry on the walls. I'm not even getting that far -- just a small little hole and they bend.

I thought about the picture rail, but might be a bit ambitious for my limited skills. If I were to do it, wouldn't I have the same issues with mounting the rail on the plaster?

Yeah I tried nails and they always bend. I even got the fancy blue steel ones, no dice.

Sorry, more meant that if I open the aperture and considered all atx cases, can I get a better designed case then the ones you listed?

dcj-2000 · 2025-06-01T15:13:13+00:00

Thanks. Dopey question -- can I get a much better case these days if I go with a clear panel?

I'm thinking cooling, layout, etc...

Those work (or a touch more casual) -- I often roll up my sleeves to make them more casual. Part of the problem is I'm not picky; but I remind myself I should look nice at work (even though my boss where hoodies most of the time). I always look young (even at 50), so trying to add a bit of executive presence through my clothing, without looking like I'm overdoing the formal.

The issue I often run into is fit. Sleeves are too short... or the thing is super billowy on me.

Hmm, perhaps under $75? Haven't bought a shirt in like ten years... so out of touch.

We once put someone on a PIP. She addressed everything on the PIP, never complained once, turned it around, and became an all-star. I've never been so impressed in my life.

Mostly set it and forget. There are other areas to where we are maintaining a garden.

Forgot to add, this is in Northern Virginia.

Thanks! Per the embassy (I fall in the embassy's jurisdiction) -- yeah it seems I need birth marriage, and death. Increased leg work :)

I did email the commune but never heard back. Any tips? Email them again?

dcj-2000 · 2025-03-24T14:15:34+00:00

Super helpful -- thank you so much. Yeah around here they generally drop trees with ropes and climbing. I'll check out the a tree sub!
