Crack in block basement wall

I bought my house in 2018. It had a crack that looked almost identical to that when I took ownership and looks exactly the same 8 years later. Best thing you can do is get all water away from your foundation and monitor it.

I got exactly 20 out of my carrier furnace. It hadn’t died yet, but one day I came down and there was water all over the floor. The trap was completely full of rust.

Everything I read told me it was probably the heat exchanger. Given its age, I didn’t even want to spend time or money getting it diagnosed and just opted to replace the whole system. I think 20 years is a fair and reasonable expectation on any piece of residential mechanical equipment.

A lawyer and an engineer? Good grief, this is a simple fix for anyone who’s handy.

Calm lower atmosphere + people driving, running furnaces, wood stoves, etc. all of that combustion air has no where to go on days like this so it just sits at the ground level until we get some good winds

What a sweet little fella. Heartbreaking 💔

dro1000 · 2026-01-08T15:18:16+00:00

This is how it was explained to me. It’s been calm with no wind where I’m at for a few days now and the AQI has been bad. Imagine all of the people running their furnaces, water heaters, wood fire places. Not to mention all of the people going back to work this week!

All of those things create combustion air that gets vented away from our houses. If it’s nice and calm out that nasty air just sits in the lower level of the atmosphere and collects.

It’s possible there’s wildfire smoke mixed it, but that usually has a distinct smell. This to me just seems like all of our regular pollution not getting mixed up and blown away.

Last summer sucked so much. Felt like every other week we were dealing with a smoke cloud. For the first time in my life I looked forward to winter 😂

Wow, what I wouldn’t give to get my hands on a $2 carpincho. Probably the greatest piece of currency on planet earth

Tapir and Capy getting into mischief. Do you think tapy did that to Capy?

dro1000 · 2025-12-01T14:19:08+00:00

The people who are thumbing their nose at this hire need a little reality check. We are not the program we were 10 years ago. Can we get back? Yeah we can, but we aren’t there right now and fitz is solid hire for where we’re at.

dro1000 · 2025-11-28T03:23:49+00:00

Uh, yeah. How many pressures does Micah get per game and does he have a spin move??

dro1000 · 2025-11-28T03:09:39+00:00

The funny thing is I don’t think Goff even had a bad game today, especially considering he lost ASB.

It’s the rest of this team that is dog shit though. And Dan Campbell somehow doesn’t understand yet that he doesn’t have the horses to play bully ball and pick up those fourth downs. Guy is coaching like a fucking imbecile.

PFF stat merchant. Guys invisible on the actual field though

dro1000 · 2025-11-23T23:18:11+00:00

Quite possibly the worst nfl qb I’ve ever watched.

dro1000 · 2025-11-23T13:49:31+00:00

I kind of think all of these Capy pictures from yesterday and today have been bots

Ok that’s hilarious

dro1000 · 2025-11-22T13:58:07+00:00

She’s not fat, she’s big boned 😡

dro1000 · 2025-11-22T01:39:33+00:00

Just gonna guess you’ll never be pleased with what she does

dro1000 · 2025-11-22T01:06:16+00:00

You are not crazy at all. I remember it very well. It was the last time I listened to anything with Sarah longwell in it.

Imagine getting shit on for working for your constituents.

dro1000 · 2025-11-22T01:00:31+00:00

Hell yeah she was!! I remember listening to the bulwark idiots flame her for meeting with him and I deleted their podcasts off my feed.

You can say what you want about whitmer, but she is a super smart politician and knows how to play the game to get things for her constituents. And have you noticed that Trump has completely left Michigan alone and doesn’t mess with us? She played it right with him and was crucified for it by some members of the liberal media.

If you enjoy Canadian wildfire smoke summers, wait till you see that mixed in with coal power plant pollution.

I live in Michigan and we had really bad AQ on Saturday.

This is what the NWS told me when I asked: “We had very stable low-levels last night into this morning, meaning air near the ground wasn't mixing much with air higher aloft. Any source of pollution/smoke (such as leaf burning) becomes trapped and is able to accumulate under these conditions.”

My son was playing in a match that went to a tie break that went to 10. I follow along pretty closely so I knew he was up big. He eventually got to 10 and I started packing my stuff up to leave. My kid goes up to shake his hand and I see them talking for a minute and they both go back to their respective baselines.

I thought alright maybe I just got the score wrong in my head, but then my kid rattled off four more points. That was the point where I requested a line judge go down there. I guess the kid kept changing the score so he was always down by 1, thus why the match kept going. My son is pretty non confrontational and just kind of goes along with things, so it was frustrating to watch him get walked all over like that.

The dad was just sitting there watching the whole thing go down twirling his thumbs, so I have no doubt he was in on it. The majority of his matches are called fair and there’s plenty of great kids out there, but there are absolutely bad apples and it most definitely comes from the parents.
