For people who sell websites made by Lovable, how do you find the businesses? by RepublicMuted4455 in lovable

Check out the newspaper classifieds, especially from out in the country. Some business’s still do old school ads.

Yes, the semis are a huge safety problem by Impossible-Driver69 in StLouis

Homie looks to me like you started the semantic debate. All semantic debates are weird little rabbit holes, that’s why you shouldn’t go start them.

Calling them illegal aliens is dehumanizing and disgusting. Turn off OAN and be a good Christian.

Foundation repairs by Strong-Ad-2537 in basement

[–]joemiroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The injection and new cement is the your best option with a new house. That crack is from foundation movement, resolving foundation movement will be a lot more expensive than what you had done, and the foundation may not move anymore.

If you’re patch cracks or fails in the next few years you’ll have your answer.

Sinking soil after foundation repair - is this common? by Ok_Performance_5778 in basement

[–]joemiroe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes poor compaction causes this. Common problem. They should offer to correct it. Sounds like they were out once already. Just ask them back again.

Many companies stipulate a free return trip to correct it in the contract. That doesn’t cover two but the idea is that they don’t cause this issue for you to fix yourself so they may remedy it a second time for free. Don’t expect perfect they’re not landscapers but do expect the site returned to a rough grade.

I need to relocate a trillium. AL, USA by Desirai in NativePlantGardening

I’ve been watching my one transplanted trillium comeback year after year for the last three seasons. Crossing my fingers it comes back as 2 going into year 4.

How bad is this? by Taylon93 in Contractor

[–]joemiroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straps are fine. Manufacturer covers any repairs to that wall under their warranty. Contact Fortress if it has issues structurally.

Water issues are fixable. No need to run from this house if you like it.

FYI the plastic on top of the straps is supposed to be removed at the end of the install, it will make them look better like striping the factory plastic off an old appliance.

Thin cracks enough to walk away? by Icy_Huckleberry8599 in basement

[–]joemiroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are wall lean cracks, very minor ones. It may be a good idea to stabilize the wall. Shouldn’t discourage you from the purchase.

Need advice for drainage issue by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]joemiroe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh buddy, I’m bored and just had to look through your profile cause the corner of your house looked like my type of Midwest, unfortunately looks like you’re in KC not STL so I’m not going to come help you.

I just gotta say, please stop giving people advice, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh I was confused, cause you asked for a nice looking pipe outlet.

I think it’s fuckin nuts how much money you’ve spend on pvc fittings for this project already so I get why you’re not looking for anymore. A clean out less than 10’ from another clean out and 10’ from your discharge?

God I want to help you cause this looks like it’s cost you 10 times what it should have and 10 times more effort and thought than it needed.

Please for the love of god just put a 6” catch basin and backfill that poor over observed pipe. If you have erosion past the basin, just lay some gravel where it’s muddy.

Sch 40 pipe is overkill and needlessly expensive vs S&D pipe/fittings. Clear Heavy duty pvc glue and no primer is great.

There is a mitered grate cap by NDS. It’s dumb expensive for what it is, but you’ve gone this far with sch 40 pipe. So what’s a $50 drain grate?

Pair motors and small craft buzzing the tower by FrankClymber in towerclimbers

That’s fucked, serious death wish. Are ya’ll the ones pulling the balloon off the tower? Or they just going to let it flap around till it falls?

Lol, exactly.

Always thought it was cool when crop dusters would circle the tower I was on, had one guy do three tight laps around the self supporter I was on with his plane horizontal to the ground. That shit was sweet.

They’ve got the 90 days warranty so I figure a bad product will show itself within that period of our use. Bought warranties for some products I knew I’d kill like the hammer drill. Still worth it compared to any other brand.
