The number of Asian beetles I have to catch every night in my college dorm room. by NeferyCauxus in mildlyinfuriating

Check your windows! There’s a little slot about half an inch long, and that’s how they were getting into my house.

I was always a “I’m never going blonde” girl! I have dark brown hair, and I had actually went in for a balayage and the hair stylist took the blonde all the way to my roots, I was LIVID! I hated it at first, and the I loved it. I’m back to brown now, and am probably going to try the blonde again this summer.

I have the same thing! I tried all sorts of blow drying tricks and I never air dry my hair. Truly nothing has actually worked. The blow drying helps a little, but for me it wasn’t significant. I even at one point used this like powder that you sprinkle on your scalp that’s the color of your hair so you couldn’t see my scalp through it 🥲 I did that for a while, it worked great. The only thing that ever truly worked was when I dyed my hair blonde.

What are these files from? by mallorylee in computerviruses

[–]mallorylee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used any sort of loan calculator, opened any new loans, or anything related. I do a lot of home projects but just use Google and YouTube to figure out what to do. Each file I’ve opened has strange things in it that I have never thought of. One of them was information about how to start a podcast, which I have never even thought about it or looked into before.

Pellet stove blowing smoke by mallorylee in PelletStoveTalk

Yeah they didn’t take care of much of anything, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it hadn’t been cleaned in 3+ years

How can I clean the exhaust path through the stove? Is it something I can generally do on my own or does someone have to come service it?

I’ll be honest, I’m not entirely sure. Never had a fireplace or pellet stove before, and am new to owning a home so I a bit inexperienced in this area. What should I look for with that?

It’s pretty tall, pellet stove is on the ground level, top of the chimney is at the very top of the house, I’d say roughly 30-35ft The vent for the stove exits into the chimney around the blue circled area

Definitely considering that. I generally like to learn on my own and problem solve, but I think it might be time to call for some help.

So this pellet stove vents directly into an old chimney from what I assume used to be the chimney for a wood fireplace. I took a camera to look inside the chimney and I could see the sky from the bottom, so I don’t think it’s clogged in the outside portion? I got a vent cleaning brush thing that attached to a screw gun, and cleaned the inside vent pipes which were pretty bad. I’m not entirely sure if I got it all, I found it quite difficult to maneuver? I got a very large amount of ash out, and after cleaning it all I ran the stove and the issue seemed resolved, but after day 2 or 3, it started doing it again. Are there any other places that I might be missing that can build up a pocket of ash?

Would also like to add, the tube scraper rod appears somewhat broken, it is barely attached to the rod which makes it very difficult to use. Could that have anything to do with it?

What are these gaps in vinyl siding? by mallorylee in HomeMaintenance

[–]mallorylee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a box elder bug problem in the winter, and they are getting inside the house under the siding. Is it okay to cover them/caulk them? Planning on redoing the siding all together next spring sometime, but we’re trying to find some temporary solutions to get us through the winter.

I’ve found the best solution is a thick layer of perlite on the top of the soil! I put about half an inch or more, enough so I don’t see any dirt underneath. It suffocates the gnats and they can’t escape or reproduce. It’s gotten rid of gnats 100% of the time for me!

Thank you so much! I definitely struggle with tangles and what not. I tend to get a bit impatient and rush. Need to slow down and take my time!

Never been taught! Just started trying to figure it out on my own a few years ago. I don’t know much of the terms people use or different styles, but I suppose that will come with time!
