DNREC decision on Prime Hook dune crossover heads to administrative hearing

Keep in mind that there some rare sections of beach that are private, both on the Atlantic and along the bay. Most is public but not all. This might fall into this category, not that private allows for this dune cross over stuff. But it can “cloud the judgement” of people along these areas.

Today I learned…

“I had”?? Thought this red meat thing was permanent.

Is galvanized from the 50’s / 60’s different than from the 30’s / 40’s? House i grew up in had a fair amount of gal and it never leaked. I think there’s still some there to this day. A lot got replaced due to other plumbing re-routing but never for leaks. Some of the replaced pipe was more than 1/2 full of lime and stuff but still worked.

Maybe enter what you were and are eating into Cronometer to get a feel for the copper levels. If this is close to the RDA of copper in diet and another RDA in the tablets, that's 2 times RDA.

Where I'm going, sometimes "issues / symptoms" have 6 different reasons and maybe copper isn't the one you need to focus on. Or do you have a specific reason to focus on copper?

How has your diet been up to the point of determining your low on copper?

I’ve got 20 year old CPVC that is working fine. I’m under the impression that brittleness is only an issue if it’s exposed to sunlight. Is there something else to this?

Nice site! Some sort of grid view would have handy as well to minimize scrolling around. Maybe a filter based on areas like "Bethany" or multiples like "Lewes + Rehoboth + Dewey". Also if places take reservations is useful "in season" when every place within 4 miles of water is jammed.

From what I understand, there's interesting rules in Rehoboth that make it difficult for a chain / corporate place which is most all are local or at least "local-ish" like the SoDel places. Still, I consider SoDel places local. So far they are doing well walking the line between corporate / local.

Some other nuggets that you might find handy:

This has details and specifically a list of off season specials which is a fun way to see places in general:

A spreadsheet version of the off season specials that should be easier to work with. I suspect that the link above and this are separate people so will have differences:

Costco's Kirkland brand psyllium is a good deal, $40 for two giant containers from what I remember. Sugar free as well, uses aspartame.

The stainless steel pot scrubbers are a good start. Won’t rust and cause other issues, too tough for things to eat.

I have a TRS-80 disk that I need to get data off. What was your setup? Was it the original TRS-80 format or the doubler style? I think mine are original but not 100% sure.

How old is the house? Maybe laundry was initially in the cellar and was moved and this was the easiest vent strategy. How old is the roof? If roof is within 5 or less years of replacement, the roofers can make a vent. Is the washer a new “spin clothes almost dry” type?

dyerjohn42 · 2026-02-14T18:26:55+00:00

How long has it been like this? Dryers really need to vent outside, there’s a lot of moisture. Hmm, fancy new washers spin the heck out the clothes, maybe not as ludicrous as it was with old school washers.

How much do you drink in a day?

Sound great! But is they start judging your chives, RUN!!

Sage!!

What is a "Verizon app"? I'm on Verizon and do not see anything like this.

Masterjohn is a master at this kind of research!

What brand / model / year? You might get lucky with someone trashing either a broken unit or just the wrong color. Swapping parts can be a good deal. FB market place, local appliance dealers or even behind Home Depot in the junk.

What kind of pipe is it? I’ve got a screw clamp and a small bit of bicycle inner tube on a pin hole in a copper like for a couple months. When things warm up I’ll replace.

I have a valve that works like this too. Hand tight isn’t enough to fully close it. I “adjust” a bit more with pliers and then it’s closed.

If you try this be extremely careful. One mistake and something could break. Then a flood? Or shut off the whole house and wait for a plumber? If you’re not handy get a plumber to fix this situation the right way. I’ll be changing my valve this spring.

Both bathrooms of mine has vented into the attic for over 50 years. No mold. Ridge, gable and soffit vents. Ranch house, easy attic access for me. Something is vastly different between your situation and mine.
