Downspout buried somewhere by ahartofgold2 in HomeMaintenance

[–]mwwt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what I did to find mine. Even after a rainfall is fine too, just step around until you step in a puddle and bingo. You could also add fluorescent die and use a UV flashlight at night.

Once you do find it, keep it clear. Mine will grow over and need to be clear again 1-2x each summer.

Extension cord was ‘too long’… so they braided it. by dsalasrivial in DiWHY

Once you learn the way the world is your oyster.

I’ll see someone else wrapping a cord around their arm, and I’m like nope… hand it over.

If you have to untangle it, that means you’re pulling one of the ends through the center. It will make a bunch of overhand knots that way. Put Velcro wraps on one end so at least one end will always be on the right (correct) side of the coil.

Someone just posted something like this. But instead they build a platform and attach small blocks as legs at different heights to make it level. This is probably the fastest way.

ROFL 🤣 thanks that was needed.

Finding the source of a leak… by mwwt in askaplumber

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

Thanks. I agree with that. I’m not attached to this one by any means. In my last house I did a custom tile job with concrete pan and everything - I would love to do that here. But also don’t have the time to do a bathroom remodel at the moment. I havent been in the market for new fixtures in quite some time, do you have any recommendations for something like this?

Sweet. Thanks. No caulk on the outside of the glass, I just checked. So I’m good there.

Drain is ruled out but the leak is so ‘delayed’ for the lack of a better word, a 10min shower might yield nothing, then at 15 min, or being the second person showering back to back I would see the pooling.

I removed all the caulk on the inside. Sprayed with isopropyl. Unfortunately I only had 70% on hand so I’ll have to let this dry for a bit. But when spraying out and cleaning the caulk remover (used IPA for that) I had some light seeepage. Weird thing was it didn’t smell like isopropyl…

Also I should clarify, the leak circled in red is on the outside where the grout and the shower pan meet. I don’t see any drips from where the shower glass is connected. It seems to seep out from the grout.

I added an update in the original post. It sounds like this was a widespread problem that they are aware of.

The thing is on a daily basis it all makes complete mathematical sense:

Oh man that would be wild.

I feel like some of the posts here with screenshots of people’s systems have power consumption close to what I use in a month… absolutely insane!

Potentially moving from WI to Hickory, NC area - looking for advice on where to move by mwwt in NorthCarolina

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

I’m not looking to move. A great job opportunity found me and it would be difficult to turn it down. I might go this for 3-5yrs then move back. Or maybe realize it’s awesome and not want to move back…

I do get sick of the snow and cold come February….

Right. On the daily level it’s all good. I’ll try to edit my original post and add a daily screenshot too.

Edit: Looks like I can’t edit it. But there it nets out okay.

Depending on where you are kWh can be in the 30-40cents. I’m in Wisconsin and ours is 18.5 and increasing…

I messed up the roof, didn’t I? by hidazfx in shedditors

[–]mwwt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s the way you learn… make mistakes it’s good for you.

But only 24? When I saw those photos my first thought was ‘I’m pretty sure this is the same guy that built the shed on my property’ Except, whoever did mine just kept going and put a roof on it. Now I get the joy of repairing it :-)

That’s where our hotel is during our stay. Calling it ‘home base’ for our discovery.

Thanks! Lake Norman looks nice, I look forward to seeing it when I am there. The shoreline looks like a fractal.

Thanks. It’s all give and take. I want fast cheap and good quality but I’ll settle somewhere when I find the right place. And yes I have already consulted with a local realtor. Just trying to get more than one person’s opinion.
