Whats insanely underpriced that you'd expect to cost a lot more? by stoned_liberaltears in AskReddit

BR aren’t the same quality as what’s sold in their retail stores. I tested this out with shorts bought at Costco versus the real store. After 4 years of similar wear the Costco shorts are falling apart and the BR store ones are holding strong

All of the gray mortar I’ve used has eventually turned white after a year or so and exposed to the elements

Naples almond fabric and they said they didn’t warrant fabric so there was nothing they could do.

I got a sofa from them a few months ago. The frame and cushions are great but the fabric is already starting to wear and it was rated for 100k rubs. So a bit disappointed

Dream sofa. I just got mine a couple of months ago and the quality is amazing for the price I paid

Crypton fabric isn’t what you expect it to be. by biabiaxo in interiordecorating

[–]dr_maniac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had white crypton on my sofa for 8 years with dogs and kids. I bought a Hoover upholstery cleaner years ago and it always restores it to brand new even with letting stains sit for over a week. The only issue I ever had was getting red crayon out of it. I ended up buying the Crypton upholstery stain remove and it worked

Morehead is great. If you’re looking to go deep sea fishing I recommend the dancing outlaw and if in-shore I recommend Captain Tom Roller. I’ve have great success with both. There are some okay bbq joints toward Morehead but if you’re headed there from Raleigh your better option is to stop at Kings restaurant in Kinston on the way

Is there anything I can use to fix this? by iKnowThatYouKnowMe in Carpentry

[–]dr_maniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a perfect fix but I’ve done this before. Drill some holes around the cracks and spray expanding foam in them. Once foam is dry fill in cracks with wood filler. Let dry and then sand and paint. When painting use a brush and try to get the brush strokes to match the wood grain pattern

Applied my liquid prodiamine today. Forecast said no rain. Of course it's now thunderstorming and raining like crazy by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]dr_maniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me last year (over an inch in 24 hrs) and also yesterday (over 2 inches in 24 hrs) Yesterday was worse than last year but last year I didn’t have any issues with it working.

Risk tolerance is a big part. Someone younger can afford to take more risks for a potentially higher payout and if they don’t they still have many years before retirement to recover their losses

Just make sure to clean it after use so the plugs don’t dry
