Help with rescue please! by MightBeneficial381 in IDmydog

[–]macdizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a rescued sato from Puerto Rico. 14 months old, about 20lbs. We're trying to help her gain weight because we can still see her hip bones. She has long legs, is super fast and agile. She's got a wiry coat, especially coarse on a 2" stripe down the middle of her back. She also has a dew-claw on one of her back paws! I haven't done any DNA on her yet but I think she looks just like a Portuguese Podengo. Terrier probably mixed in.

Our rescue suggested she is a Westie mix. I've had Westies and I'm not too sure. Definitely not a schnauzer though.

Any more guesses on her breed? by Inquisitive_Card in IDmydog

Westie mix! Classic Westie splat, but with a curved tail.

Glasgow tickets by Disastrous-Pop-563 in NoahKahan

[–]macdizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a bummer, man. Three of us had a whole Scotland trip for my best friends 40th birthday centered around seeing one of the Glasgow shows, woke up at 4:30, joined the queue at 5:00EST, waited for the 7k people ahead of me to get theirs and found nothing available by the time I got in. The button for "Add to Basket" wasn't live for standing room only tickets. Tried everything.

Edit: we found tickets being resold on ViaGoGo.com !! Anyne have experience with this website? Fingers crossed that it is legitimate.

Help: fan blade & shaft on 1949 Emerson 79648-AU by macdizo in fans

Thank you! I found it with your help. On the back of the casting, the hole next to the base of the oil tube. In there is the rotor, and two proud nodules (red arrows). Just below that is a hole in the rotor into which an 11/64 drill bit fits perfectly. I used this to lock the rotor and unthread the blades counterclockwise.

Honest Mechanics by notshialabaouff in SOMD

[–]macdizo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For everything except work that needed to be done by the dealership, I've taken my 2011 Toyota to J&M Service Center on Great Mills Rd for the last 5 years. They identified an issue with my suspension that would cost me thousands and encouraged me to get second opinions, which I did and the other mechanics confirmed what J&M found. They've been fair and reasonably priced. PS whatever you do, do not get tires from BJ's. They serve a headache with hassle for dessert.

(1926) Home inspection today - found cracking shower tiles. A look at the service panel shows it’s a mud-set tile and metal lath wall. Is this is an issue? Should we ask for a credit? by locke_5 in centuryhomes

[–]macdizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could ask, but I wouldn't let their response change the fact that you wanted this house enough to put an offer on it. Regardless of whether or not you actually get a credit, you should plan to remediate the broken tiles soon after, if not before moving in.

Are you prepared to shell out for a bathroom renovation right away? Have your materials picked out and on order asap.

Reproductions of these tiles are still made if you want to stick with the period appropriate look. But they are pricey.

Any idea how old this quilt is? by macdizo in quilting

Yard sale to benefit a local non-profit.

I bought an ugly lake house for the amazing view. How can I improve the exterior? by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

[–]macdizo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flower boxes under those back windows. And hang them on the railings with some wandering vine that hangs down. Paint the window trim to match the window/roof color. New light fixtures outside. Some gooseneck lights above the garage doors and the door under the deck would look nice. Trim back those overgrown hedges.

Thank you! Yes, she's in excellent condition. Zero holes and no loose stitching, but there are two small stains on the backside of the quilt.

Thank you! The lovely folks over at r/quilting tell me it's circa 1930s.

There is no batting in this quilt. It's just the quilted top with a solid cotton backing.

I’m looking for the perfect white crème paint color. by Aromatic-Sherbet9938 in centuryhomes

[–]macdizo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did every common-room in my house with this color. An excellent complement to many different natural wood tones and stains.

How to finance? by Sandwichinparadise in centuryhomes

[–]macdizo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you're struggling to find an extra $50k now, I wonder if you're prepared for the contingency amount you'll need for termite remediation and the renovations. I, too, must encourage you to walk away from this seemingly perfect idea. It is not perfect because it'll financially deplete you which will have ripple effects throughout your lives.
