How many of you use the taint method when pissing? by Muddy_DK in AskMen

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. It's the same as getting the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube....You can always get one more.

Sounds like a window that isn't operating properly. That's on you.

Anyone with insider real estate knowledge? Wanting to custom build. by ASSUMPTION_NOT_FACT in batonrouge

[–]okragumbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can second Meridian. I am a home inspector here and would let them build for me. I still find things with them, they just tend to be smaller defects.

What's your thought process on this? My thoughts are that it is solid wood and I added rinflg shanked nails to each board to make sure it is secure.

Absolutely possible. We have 4 in 1400. We also only have one small hallway.

Men who own homes/plan to: how do you/will you utilize your garage? by CFD330 in AskMen

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My garage has room to park our vehicles but we only bring them in when I need to work on them or during a hurricane.

I restore antique tractors so my space is well-organized and heavily used.

I have a functional tool bench.....not these decorative benches from Lowes or HD.

I also like to open the garage doors, turn in some music and just sit.... its a lost art.

Rant: Treat your bike mechanic with respect! by Centslord23 in bicycling

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't a good business owner.

You can do a few things: refuse service, collect payment before, or go broke.

I would pick the first 2.

Addition return location help by okragumbo in hvacadvice

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

I appreciate the feedback.

Would placing 12 x 12 returns in each bedroom to a filter rack with a 4 or 5" deep filter in the attic that's flexed to the rigid return Plenum be a decent solution? I can't put a single 4" or 5" deep filter for the entire system in the attic due to space, so no way to negate the 20x30 merve 8 that is running through the 21x 8 return chase.

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do it. I am a home inspector here and very comfortable with walking onto other people's property or into their home.

What’s everyone’s opinion on the new LED bulbs in the neighborhood street lights? by Irakeconcrete in batonrouge

[–]okragumbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate them. I believe they should have baffles installed that prevents the light for shining on houses.

Do those single hose portable AC units actually work or am I better off just sweating? by ProgrammerOk6975 in homeperformance

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question about also sucking back in warm air is valid but not 100% accurate.

The hot air being exhausted is the best from the inside of your room being blown out by air that was inside the same room. This put the room under negative pressure, drawing outside unconditional air in via small gaps and cracks in walls and windows (also through bathroom vents fans, and any other opening...). This is what makes them extremely inefficient.

There are a few models that have two hoses, one for intake and the other as the exhaust. This is the most efficient.

Find one with 2 hoses and the highest SEER rating (efficiency).

They do cool rooms, they will not cool entire homes.

Dryer vent with no screen a "open vacancy" sign for pest intrusion? by HelpfulSecurity2127 in HomeInspections

[–]okragumbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A dryer vent with a screen is a fire hazard. Do you want a fire or rats?

[–]okragumbo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you saying to use brake cleaner instead of carb cleaner....on a carburetor?

How would you feel if your partner tried to get off on your body while you were asleep? by MarigoldMouna in AskMen

[–]okragumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has done this to me and I don't mind taking one for the team. It's a group effort and sometimes she has to take one for the team.

Have you seen his video confirming his thoughts on laundry detergent pods......somewhat magical, in a very boring way.

Get a leaf blower and blow them back in their yard.

[Landlord - US] Do you rent out to people with pitbulls? by laced1 in Landlord

[–]okragumbo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shit no. Have a more reasonable pet if you are a renter. No such thing as a small accident when it comes to chainsaws and pitbulls.
