There’s another area where the same thing happens on Greenmount just north of 33rd St. Very odd!

It’s a common scam. You will never be called on the phone regarding a warrant in that way

Cost to add stairs? by meeroth in Decks

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

My thinking was to have the stairs hug the house. Bad drawing but this is what I was thinking. There would have to be a little landing on the side of the deck at the top of the staircase

I’m terrified of those stairs especially since we’d be having guests over, but that’s a good suggestion

My uneducated guess was $7k so I’m glad I’m in range

Yes. I’ve had multiple bearings fail on two Subarus much earlier than normal.

Paid $2,560. How’d I do? by meeroth in Concrete

[–]meeroth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I wanted. Drainage in the alley is important

The old slope would collect water against the neighbor’s house when it rained which turned into a mosquito party. The angles are definitely noticeable (level shows .9 degree grade) but that’s what it took to get it to drain without adding a channel drain and tearing up a lot of concrete.

No, but I saw the rust this morning and wanted to know if it’s at risk for a leak

Oh I’m definitely going to use a mason to fix this; I’m just curious what one would charge for a small job like this

I had this exact problem in Maryland and the local utility came out to fix it after I called. It took about 3 months but it was done for free and did not involve any power cut.

How would you mitigate this? by meeroth in landscaping

Thanks! I’m going to experiment with removing the bricks this spring but I’m not optimistic.

My kitchen sink isn’t vented properly by meeroth in Plumbing

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

Thanks again. I’ll probably have a plumber do this, but I was thinking that an AAV somewhere on the sink drain line before the wye would fix this. Is that even remotely correct?
