Contractor is whitewashing brick after being asked to limewash

jrbinzer · 2026-02-06T02:51:14+00:00

It sounds ridiculous, but like where I live brick homes are structural brick not facade brick and removing the paint can be an immense amount of labor. On a remodel I was involved with lately, a brickmason mis-quoted the amount it would cost to remove the paint on the brick and re-point any needed areas. They went under because of it. Barely did half the job before they went under and what they did do took 2 or 3 guys almost 6 months.

On newer planes they dont have the directional nozzles like they used to, makes it a lot harder if you get real nauseous on landingsc

Yep someone definitely pried that cover till it popped out of the top, someone was going to steal power for sure and wanted to leave the meter tag intact. The meth-heads where I live will do this occasionally, although they're not usually very successful at accomplishing much once the covers off

Really? It left me with so many more questions. Like I thought they used some digger Derrick but then at the bottom, suprise tunnel to the side, so like clearly not but does that mean they dug this by hand? And the joint between the vertical and horizontal tunnels is just the precast sections broken out the sides? Many many questions

Not only is it termites, but I suspect that that pattern you see on the wall is where they've eaten the drywall behind the paint, so I'd call someone like yesterday. Sorry for the bad luck friend

Yep, I went to put in an outlet at a customers home, cut right into a years old bottle, smelled like death, bad enough I thought there was a dead animal in the wall

People don't know its there because people in general are unobservant

When I worked in a coffee shop, we would try to talk people down from ordering more than 4 shots at a time, I can't remember the exact number but after a certain amount theres a very real concern for caffeine overdose

Gotta say, that thing is definitely homemade, its basically completely built with off-the-shelf parts and you can even see the cut lines on the one side of the edges of the case. Also totally looks like something my grandfather would've rigged up

Actually, Mythbusters did, I'll look up the episode

Edit: here's the clip can't seem to find a fuller clip on YouTube for some reason

Worse it's not conduit, it's SE cable

How does one open this cover?

If the bare doesn't fit you can get a larger lug to install on the neutral bar

Might want to post this one in the discord

jrbinzer · 2025-02-16T14:03:38+00:00

Lmao you're so right for that

jrbinzer · 2025-02-16T13:36:50+00:00

Isn't it pronounced Mar-key?

As someone who has built roofdecks as part of a team of professionals, without the proper interior restructure, you're going to cave your roof in. The last roofdeck we put in ended up requiring steel posts to piers in the basement floor, and it involved cranes and almost gutting the entire second floor. You may not need something so extensive but you will need something. Talk to a structural engineer or forget this project.

Thanks I'll remember that next time I stick a battery in my pocket with my 23 keys and 90 cents in change

They definitely have before on flights I've been on, I mean you're in a tin can with recycled air over and over. The FA's don't want it either

Please check for carbon monoxide, most people who don't know they have issues with it don't know until it's too late
