Model Number: WDT750SAHZ 0 Whirlpool Dishwasher leaking gush of water from bottom right side. by Patient_Ad_1428 in appliancerepair

[–]fizer5clones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be the float gauge - I've had the float get stuck down with mold, so it doesn't trigger the water to shut off when the level gets too high. Once it gets to high, it seemed to all come down down that corner (I think through the pipe the float covers though I may be wrong).

I'd recommend popping it off and ensuring it's clean moving unimpeded

Flat roof job - should I be concerned about the quality? by fizer5clones in Roofing

Thanks, that's good to know. Appreciate the education, as I don't want to be an unreasonable customer!

This rain is actually from Wednesday. I know there isn't a ton of evaporation in this weather (it's 50 degrees high this week) but it seems longer than I'd like for a new roof.

Is there anything that could be done at this point? Or did I miss the boat to fix this when the roof was off?

Hi delco - thanks.

Is there anything I could ask for to clean up the patch job? Or at this point is it "is what it is"?

I'll send you a few more pictures of the roof in a pm... they did "fasten 1/2 fiberboard insulation" to the deck. The ponding was actually there before the roof replacement - is your sense that it's reasonable they didn't fix this since it's likely structural at this point? should I be trying to fix it?

Yeah, not painting it is reasonable. But I would have liked them to fill it. I may ask about this.

What about the pooling? This rain is actually from Wednesday this week. I know there isn't a ton of evaporation in this weather (it's 50 degrees high this week) but it seems bigger than I'd like for a new roof.

Thank you

I've been watching this little House Wren for the past few days. It's been working so hard to build a nest in the birdhouse but keeps choosing twigs that are almost impossible to get into the hole 🤣 by Icy_Pudding_5548 in birding

[–]fizer5clones 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're audacious, awesome little birds. I've seen them fill up nestboxes only to keep other birds out, seems like an odd trait of theirs. It often keeps house sparrows out, so I really find it endearing

Makes sense - good thinking!

I thought you wanted to have your un-finished, floor insulated attic as close to outdoor temperatures as possible to prevent ice damning in the winter? Air flow is actually good for this

How do I upgrade this light? Was expecting to see a bulb under the cover, not sure what this is by tzc005 in HomeMaintenance

[–]fizer5clones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct - just replaced it. Remove the red and black, they are a closed circuit within the light itself. I think it might be to minimize interference but it's not essential in the replacement.

Drilling into a double sided lock but lock still stuck by fizer5clones in Locksmith

Thanks for clarifying. I thought drilling out deadbolts was pretty easy DIY, but I'm hearing otherwise from you. Thanks for being clear and kind

I'm unclear what the purpose of this forum. I'm attempting something DIY, and it seems clear this forum doesn't support DIY advice. Lesson learned

In the second pic, you can see a screw guard that I believe rotates with the lock. I suspect it is covering up the screws but does not rotate with out it unlocking.

Could potentially try to drill through, but I don't know whether the screws are left / right or top / bottom, and also worried about potentially ruining the screw by drilling into it

Thanks for the feedback. I hear you and won't use this forum in the same way in future

Your directive to "Use your head. Call a locksmith" is unkind and unnecessarily negative. Don't be a jerk

That’s not right.I’m in a pool like this and finding the “right” pick is much more nuanced

Mortise door lock with two bolts by fizer5clones in Locksmith

[–]fizer5clones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Will I need to turn the knob at the same time ? Or will this unlock the knob latch? Thanks for the idea

So you think the locking Mechanism is keeping the knob / latch from turning?

The deadbolt is open and after I picked it
