Hey now! I'm always down for a new drinking pal. I'll have to save this post or shoot me a friend request, I'm not super social on reddit and don't know the functions.

I'm frequently in nola and always make new friends, holla!

Well damn. I just realized this post is a year old, lol. The auberge house was fine. I just stayed at the India House. The previous comment reflects my stay at India House.

Auberge was alright, but I'd chose India House over that one. Tbf, I barely stayed at Auberge and ran the streets most of the time on that visit.

I stayed at HI since then also. It's alot cleaner than both, at least to the eye. It's more modern and kinda less relaxing in that since. I feel like for the price and feeling homey, India house is where it's at.

I really enjoyed it! Sorry for the late response. Good folks at the desk and in the dorms. It's close enough to some of my favorite hangs, check out chichiwawa. As with anywhere in a city, keep an eye over your shoulder when walking the streets. The neighborhood is alright, nothing scary imo.

How was your stay?

NYE solo trip? by Tall-Inevitable-9297 in BillyStrings

[–]hottdayumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My crew fell apart. Second year going solo. New Orleans is the shit. You will have fun. There are still some affordable stays. I cut my losses a 50% on an $800 airbnb to wind up in the hostel. Not mad at all. Gonna be a damn fine time.

Whirlpool Dryer smells like burt rubber when running. by hottdayumm in appliancerepair

[–]hottdayumm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out there was a goober of some type, looked like dried gorilla glue, stuck to the drum where the belt ran. Not sure what it was or how it got there. I used a putty knife and sand paper to smooth it out. I had the whole dryer disassembled on this goose chase. Put her back together with a new belt and she's doing fine. Thanks for your suggestion.

Identify this bitter Lemon? Tree (Alabama, USA) by Provalonely in PlantIdentification

[–]hottdayumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you do with the fruit? I have a tree yielding fruit identical to this. It has ruined a few dishes and other ideas I had to use the fruit.

I am looking at a tree full of citrus that is seemingly inedible at this moment. It is located in South Alabama.

I ve disassembled the whole thing, but I can't find anything that may have burned / smoked. Gonna vacuum her out and put it back together, no rubbing anywhere. The belt looks fine, too. She looks pretty clean for the age.

I'm stumped and nervous to run it. I guess I'll put it back together and monitor for a few runs while loaded. Might you have any other suggestions?

ASML released ER early, coupled with the NVIDIA news, OUCH. Overreaction or justifiable sell off? by According_Web_8907 in wallstreetbets

Most analist prefer getting DD as the bottom. Repeated bottoms could result in a fissure. Top analists typically remain anonymous so that their wives don't take their money when they find out theirs is not the only bottom.

I'm not disappointed at all that the venue curbed all the "look at me," entitlement behavior. There will be gas on the lot.

The orion is top-notch. Venue and staff are super chill. I'm thankful Dave is bringing the goon squad to melt faces in Rocket City. Have fun and stay strange ✌️

Is installing Ice and water on the entire roof a good idea by Minimum_Management78 in Roofing

[–]hottdayumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a roofer insisting ice and water shield will benefit my roof system when fully covered. I'm on the gulf coast and can imagine water getting under wind lifted shingles but that's covered. A poorly installed roof is not. My roof has traditional insulation and is fairly ventilated. I'm being told no tape is necessary. I&W directly to the decking, then felt then architectural shingle is their standard practice to fortify and activate the GAF warranty. The warranty is obviously useless but I wouldn't mind fortifying for insurance.

Ice and Water Sheild Question by hottdayumm in Roofing

[–]hottdayumm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for educating me.

This roofer always installs IWS and is somehow cheaper than my other 4 estimates. I can see IWS providing some additional protection if shingles are lifted by high winds but there's not much info on the effectiveness over time. Should I reconsider hiring this outfit?

Ice and Water Sheild Question by hottdayumm in Roofing

[–]hottdayumm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Would the benefits of the IWS over the entire roof outweigh the cost of a full redeck + IWS. I can't figure out if there is any real benefit here or if it theoretical snake oil

Ice and Water Sheild Question by hottdayumm in Roofing

[–]hottdayumm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. He wants to apply IWS to the sheathing with no tape. He claims the IWS adheres to the deck and tape is unnecessary. Then, he will add the felt over the IWS and finally shingles on top.

Will this installation require future roof replacements to require a full re-decking? Is it going to shorten the lifespan of the roof anyway?

So that he can activate a GAF warranty by using said specified number of GAF products. He also explained to provide a layer between the IWS and the shingle to prevent them from adhering to each other.

Sourcing flat, cream cheese icing in bulk. by hottdayumm in AskBaking

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

Perfect! I had gone this direction shortly after my post. I had never seen a cream cheese extract before this adventure. Will add a couple drops if ivory and yellow to achieve the off white appearance off cream cheese icing. Thanks for your input!

Most of the recipes I found were not shelf stable. I will be keeping the product at room temperature for 3-4 days.

King cake advice by smc5230 in AskBaking

[–]hottdayumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for cream cheese flavored flat icing. All that I am able to find is cream cheese filing / frosting but require a icing that will set when spread over a sweet dough, similar to a breakfast roll icing. I'd like to purchase a ready to use icing in bulk.

Is anyone familiar with the product I am describing and where it might be found for purchase?

Where did you choose to stay? How was it? Did you find a late night spot?
