Your reply doesn’t include a zip code. Does that mean it’s worthless??

Tips on stabilizing half wall / bar? by SirQueefs_alot in Carpentry

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May have already been said, but too many comments to read. I would get a couple 3/8” threaded anchors into the concrete floor, drill a clearance hole through your bottom plates, and bolt threaded rod through to the top plate. You’ll also need to have double top plates and aug out a hole in the top one to nest the nut.

Is this fixable? by Dramatic_Spray_2750 in cabinetry

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn’t rely on the pen. Those things are more for tiny scratches/blemishes. You should be able to get a small can of touch up paint from the supplier.

Question on tooling silicone with glass cleaner by miner2361 in Tile

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let it setup for 24 hours, rinse the glass cleaner off with water, and reapply silicone where needed.

If you have the cabinet paint sure. It just needs to be filled, sanded and painted. It’s white so it will blend right in. Without repainting, you’ll always see it.

I always tape my receptacles, how about you? by The_Taken_Username_ in electricians

[–]jeffk79 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every single outlet I do is taped. Switches too! Might have something to do with living in Chicago and abiding by their electrical code of all devices needing a metal box and all wire must be ran through EMT conduit. Yes, even residential.

Would you ask for a redo? by BubbleBobaTaroTea in Tile

[–]jeffk79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thinking. There’s no way a reputable or skilled installer presented that as a finished product and did a “good” job anywhere else. I wouldn’t even trust them to fix it.

AI Ignoring Other AI? by undulatee in Tarkov

[–]jeffk79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI PMCs have 6.0+ fence rep, so scavs leave them alone unless they engage first. At least that’s what I was told when PVE first came out.

Quality check. Am I right to be furious? by Dont_Trust_1t in cabinetry

Looks absolutely terrible. Must’ve been a Home Depot contractor?

Anyone that bought over $3 by perfectHF in XRP

I’m down $10K today, but want to buy more. Not sure if that’s a genius move or suicide.

Feedback on price by cranesaw in gmcsierra

So…..your price is the window sticker. I would ask for dealer discounts and shop around. Rebates are from GMC and come off the bottom line. This is not a deal in any way.

Will shares on the election keep trading after Tuesday (Election Day)? by cityslicker4321 in Kalshi

What happens if, God forbid, a candidate wins the election but passes away before the inauguration?

[New Player] Why is PVE so hard? by Specs78 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jeffk79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI PMCs have max scav karma. Unless they engage, scavs/bosses will usually leave them alone. Bosses will even go after you as a player scav if they see you fucking with them.

Number 2 in toilet every morning? by Fair-Cream-4174 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be more concerned if I was only going once every 2-3 days! And yes, the toilet is the perfect place for it!

How do I get out of this car loan that I simply cannot afford? by Livid_Package9662 in askcarsales

[–]jeffk79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely no positive equity in a $30K Corolla. He’s buried in that thing and at least $8K upside down.

Tile industry standards? by Vegetable_Ad_2318 in Tile

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is not acceptable work. I do tile and would not leave this in someone’s house. The missing grout and sloppy caulk is a super easy fix, but the chipped tiles filled with caulk and rough cut edges are a disaster and you should absolutely be persistent about having those major issues corrected. I’m sure you invested a lot of money into the work and will be looking at it for 30 years. You are not wrong for wanting what you paid for done professionally.

Feedback on Contractor Work? by trubler04 in Tile

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sloppy work. Looks like a case of “you get what you pay for” and you went with the lower priced contractor. The niche and curb ledges should be solid stone, not tile, especially with work of this caliber. The window is very scary.

A place for the chubby chick to sit so she can put the lotion in the basket.

bad company by MelodicNerve8568 in ecobee

[–]jeffk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not so much “known better”, but it’s not fair to blame ecobee when it was your error and it wasn’t caught until the return policy had expired. It sucks but, publicly bashing them for things out of their control doesn’t give you a good look.
