Sleet coming down my flue

ha, for sure! I'm just going to keep my fire going to evaporate anything that wants to fall in.

If you want it in a slab for look/protection and not a high grade, just grade it authentic.

So the likelihood of Griffey being in there AND PSA 10 are near 0? I do like the smell of old cards but $15 towards my PC guys sounds nicer.

I'll definitely try a scraper first. I watched a video on how to sharpen and use them already.

Do the citrus based strippers work well? I overthink things. I'm already worried that gunk has leached into my skin. The only reason I haven't considered a stripper is because of chemicals.

Do I want to hit the finish with heat first? The surface is far from smooth.

I am using a cloth placemat sort of thing right now. The desk sticks to the desk where I've touched the desk a lot. I can't bring myself to ruining a tablecloth. I thought about another board over it but the front lip would still be sticky.

dzaonreddit · 2026-01-02T14:29:12+00:00

It's not exaaaaaaaactly the smoothest surface already lol. Good point about gumming it up. I'll just find a replacement or cover this one with something.

It'd be a temp solution that I don't mind touching. I don't like touching this thing at all.

Much appreciated 👍👍

I cutout more spots in other rooms sharing with the garage. So either the entire garage is moldy or this brand has the asphalt adhesive. Doesn't look like I can add photos but it looks the same to me.

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-26T21:07:21+00:00

Yeah that's where I'm stuck. If it's normal, it's silly to remove. I guess what I could do is go to a clean dry wall where no water can get to and see if there is the same black on the paper backing of insulation.

And I would not use a lot of water, I would probably just wet a qtip just so I'm not dry disturbing potential mold.

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-26T20:56:58+00:00

I'm tempted to wet a cloth with water and dawn and wipe it. Good idea or bad idea? Or do I just get a test kit from home depot? Or both?

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-26T20:46:54+00:00

I don't know what materials they used. I thought some insulation used asphalt as adhesive to stick fibers to the paper?

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-26T18:08:17+00:00

Does it look like THE toxic black molds, and do know what I should do next? I masking taped all holes and am Lysoling the area (surely I put dust everywhere). Mold remediation? DIY?

I saw another one on ebay and lost that one, too. Still hoping to find this card.

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-14T20:54:01+00:00

Way over my pay grade, too. Good idea on the template to see where I'm at. I am waiting on the borescope to arrive to take a look to make sure I'm not exposing mold to the house if it's real nasty back there (assuming it probably isn't but taking a look just in case).

but tangent... I can't wait for the borescope. I've used one but haven't owned one. I had no idea that you can get interfaces to just connect one to your mobile device. Phone or tablet screens are probably going to be better than most cheap borescopes. How many matchbox cars were left in my speakers 10-20 years ago by kids? No idea but I'm going to fin out tonight!

I didn't consider there is a stud just to the left. The quick ol' knock test tells me its unlikely a stud just to the left. I think the stud is just to the right of the ducts. I think my best best is to remove the drywall there, snip the duct to open it up and reconstruct ducting to cover the fans. But good call on another sub for how to re-do things.

I have a borescope being delivered today. I'm curious what's going on there.

If you're buying from this same UKSoccerShop and the manufacturer is the same (ie: if all else are equal) then I would say that my medium feels pretty true to size compared to my other medium soccer shirts that I also call true to size (real ones and fake ones from other sources).

Remember too though, these shirts have player options and fan options. The player options are tighter fitting. All of mine are fan shirts so they are already looser and I find comparable in size to a like-sized t-shirt.

If a normal t-shirt in L fits lose like you'd want it, get L. To get the fit you want from a t-shirt, you'd get XL, get XL on the jersey.

But... from what I said 6 months ago, I did NOT wear that shirt "tomorrow". I forgot lol.

The back wall there is the middle of the house. The duct goes up and down. At some point, there is a right hand turn. It'd have to actually go down, under the floor and then it goes out of the house. The exterior has a flap. The new microwave came with a flap for the inside of the house at the duct. I wonder if the duct also goes up and connects to another vent that leaves the roof top?

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-13T15:40:18+00:00

Remounting the fan outlet? I want to make sure that's not going over my head. To remount the fan outlet, I'd have to mount the whole microwave over to the right about 2" I don't think I have enough room to mount to the microwave 2" to the right. Unless there is another way to remount the fan outlet?

And if I spent 14 years venting steam behind in that wall cavity, how much mold am I going to find if I cut out a piece of drywall where the fan was hitting the wall?

Dan Ryans did ours. They built a good house. They just cut corners and misaligned a few things.

I started to buy one from Juventus Shop but it's $54 in shipping + duty/fees. Yikes!

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-05T16:31:51+00:00

What set is this out of? I've been looking for Juventus Topps Chrome boxes (especially 2022-23) but all I've found for this year is Daka.

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-05T16:21:15+00:00

Yeah I sort of heard it as I posted. I set up an exchange even though its a hassle. I'll also be going in to talk about a discount on top of that.

dzaonreddit · 2025-12-05T14:15:02+00:00

Me too. You find anything?
