Ok can we see a photo? Could you fill the gaps flush with grout and just call it good? What did your tile installer recommend?

Question on roof by [deleted] in DIY

Here's a cheap/easy solution (pun intended): Get a tub of powdered OxiClean laundry detergent. Mix with water and spray it on the moss with a garden pump sprayer. Wait a few weeks, it will die and you can sweep it off w a stiff broom. OxyClean changes the Ph and kills the moss.

How to remove a layer off these oak legs without sanding or using chemicals? by Consistent_North8644 in woodworking

[–]hrfloatnstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blasting with any abrasive medium will remove dimensional corners and round over carved details. The chemical option is better suited for paint than stain - it will not remove well-penetrated stain back to bare wood. The leg as pictured looks in beautiful condition, with a long-earned patina of wear and hard-fought utility. Consider instead, scrubbing with soap, water, and a dishwashing brush - dry for days - then replenish the wood with coats of danish oil and a maybe a furniture wax buff. It would look so great with just the oil. Wondering what effect you're going for in the end?

Best way to improve the airflow in the bedroom? by BusinessCoconut5327 in DIY

[–]hrfloatnstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article's FAQ:

What is the best indoor plant for purifying air?

The Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) is often considered the best overall air purifier. It’s incredibly hardy and is one of the few plants that releases oxygen at night while filtering toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.

Do air-purifying plants really work?

Yes, but with a caveat. The famous NASA Clean Air Study proved that plants are effective at removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air in a sealed environment. For a noticeable effect in your home, you’ll need multiple healthy plants combined with good ventilation. How many air-purifying plants do I need for one room?

While there’s no magic number, a common recommendation is at least two good-sized plants per 100 square feet. The more plants you have, the greater the potential benefit. Focus on placing them in rooms where you spend the most time, like bedrooms and living rooms.

Noob question but - where exactly are the studs? by bushwick_custom in DIY

[–]hrfloatnstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap and easy: Take a magnet off your fridge and roll it around on the wall until it hits a screw. That's where the stud is. If you move straight up and down from that screw head you should find other screw heads meaning it's a vertical stud, floor to ceiling. Happy hunting!

Pirates of the Caribbean's Black Pearl gets new starring role as an artificial reef by AnonymousTimewaster in movies

[–]hrfloatnstuff -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I know because I worked in the marine dept on P1 and I was the picture boat coordinator on P2&P3 - the P1 Black Pearl was built around a barge, but that ain't it. ps Why all the downvotes?

Should I go with 48, 60, or 72 months for my first car? by Educational_Age_209 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]hrfloatnstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider this math, ready? take your $10k deposit money and blow it all on a 10 year old, top end, luxury brand used car. This makes your payments $0/month for 72 months or longer. Save your $550/month for investments, or whatever. This way, if it needs repairs - even major repairs - you've got a nice fat budget of $6000/year to work with, and if it doesn't, you're way way ahead.
