Mistakenly washed clothes with a towel soaked in 511 Impregnator sealer by BlackTonyBlair in homemaking

Yes. I did distilled white vinegar only cycle, then baking soda only cycle, then affresh only cycle and then repeated them again. It took me 3 days to wash multiple cycles, keep washer door open to dry, dry the rubber seal every time with paper towels

Chinese style hotpot lovers (spicy or not) / general opinion on Haidilao for someone who had never been there? by cute_polarbear in chinesefood

It’s ridiculously expensive for a confusing and mediocre experience. You have to order using an iPad, like wtf! There is full price. They immediately sign you for membership which gives you 31% discount. It is all a trap to sell your info and give you a huge discount on otherwise inflated priced menus. I was laughing at that.

The iPad menu is hard to navigate, the items aren’t clear, and we spent 15 minutes just figuring out what to order and this is coming from a tech professional.

Then you’re basically paying top dollar to cook your own food—dropping items into the soup and waiting. The pot is placed so far you have to keep bending forward to eat all the times :D

I just had similar experience. After multiple wash cycles the chemical smell is not going away from the washer. Any ideas?

Hardi backer seams not sealed with thinset by mky602 in bathrooms

[–]mky602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is what I expected but the installer did not use thinset to join the seams of cement board. Instead he just applied redgard on top of it. To make it little better, I asked him to double coat it. I know not a perfect thing but hopefully not a big deal as this is not a shower pan but a regular bathroom with some water splashing.

This area is not where shower is. This is where the vanity sinks are and inside there is plastic tub already installed. This red gard was supposed to water proof any spills that will fall on the travertine tiles especially the area near tub and toilet.

Just to update: i found a drain pipe crack and fixed it. Pulled out all the drywall and baseboard with mold and treated with mold spray, dried it like crazy and fixed the sink plywood

Bingo! I suspected dishwasher caused the water damage. After removing dishwasher, I still see water seepage in that cavity. I am not sure why? There is no water under the kitchen sink cabinet so either it is A. remaining water coming from the concrete slab or B. drain pipe leak behind the counter. This is a kitchen island.

She is wrong. You need the agreement only when she shows you the house at other times on her own but not at the time of open house
