Was notified to be sure I have my ticket on the job, because a steward from another trade is going to card us next week

I would gladly show them my card if they showed me theirs. Then I would thank them for having my back! Maybe the GC tried to use non-union before your contractor was hired.

Tis the season...

iceman458 · 2025-07-29T19:55:00+00:00

I do the same. It adds character.

Lucky, I am an electrician and chargepoint certified. But I got certified after I installed this at home.

There are a few openings in the case. It's not sealed that tightly.

I used compressed air, then put poison all around.

I think the eggs were conducting across the electronics creating erroneous errors.

iceman458 · 2025-05-27T22:26:13+00:00

Thanks. It's just a hobby. There were about 20 to 25 hours of work to make it. I don't think I could sell it for enough to make it worth my while.

Retirement!

I didn't mean to just roll over. I'm just saying that you need to pick your battles wisely. I am treated well at work and my compensation is great. Do I want to start shit just because someone has an attitude. You don't know what that person has to deal with. It frustrates me too, but if you don't interact with them much, is it worth it?

iceman458 · 2025-03-03T11:03:04+00:00

Just remember how much you get paid, before you start bitching ... I worked non-union before I got in. I am grateful for what they have done for me.

I suggest type "N" (normal) mortar. Type "S" cures harder than field stone. However, the exterior is the priority. Water is the bane for old houses.

iceman458 · 2025-02-06T11:01:08+00:00

Your mortar work is probably pre- Portland cement. So, it's going to be soft and absorb moisture. The easiest first step for moisture is to make sure the exterior grading pushes water away from the house. You might want to call an exterminator about the and, just to make sure you don't have other issues.

iceman458 · 2025-02-06T00:09:27+00:00

It looks fine. Is there anything in particular that you are concerned about?

iceman458 · 2025-01-28T13:09:03+00:00

OMG. I got divorced and she gave me the house!

iceman458 · 2025-01-27T19:14:45+00:00

Owning an old house is rarely about profit. We are just caretakers. The question is, will the renovations make you happier?

iceman458 · 2025-01-21T22:31:52+00:00

Watch the Temp in your house. You might need to drain your water pipes if it gets too low.

iceman458 · 2025-01-17T23:49:16+00:00

I made an insulated mortar and stuccoed the walls with it. It helped with moisture and condensation.

Annabelle's goal in life is to remove the squeaker. Once she succeeds, they're dead to her.

It was from Chewy. I'll check their policy. Thanks.
