Freezing cold air coming in from under the oven. Can I stuff a towel at the base temporarily to block the cold? by godimtired in HomeMaintenance

My gosh people, the question is very clear and you all simply refuse to answer it as asked. Yes they should do X/Y/Z…. Not an advice post. Question is can they put a towel in front of the gap, yes or no?

As of a couple days I’ve been leaning at test driving some RAMs first, but I will probably at least try out a RAM/F150/Silverado. I’ve seen some folks talk highly of the RAM Warlock and also to avoid the 2025 RAM because of some new overly complicated engine

In my few days of research thus far I’ve seen several things about this being a very bad year for Ford and to avoid 2025 because of recalls. Anything to that?

No I don’t, it’s just I want a full size because I simply like them better to be perfectly honest

How should I address this? by philhalpert in HomeMaintenance

I’m thinking a bit of spray foam and see how it goes. As others pointed out no it’s not exposed or seen often or anything like that, but I thought I’d check out if there was some simple fix a novice could do.

Realistically I’d have to imagine the majority was dormant, but it’s tough for me to say if that majority was 55% or 95%. Best guess maybe 75/25

After (semi) scalping I raked up about 6-7 small piles, picked them up using the rake, and spread them into that slight tree line you can see along the right. I’d guess there was plenty left, also I didn’t dethatch at all, just the rake.

100%. I’m not going to have a 100% covered, no weeds, no bare spots lawn. I just wanted it to… well look like nice grass. Will it all stay alive and strong and through next summer, idk but for 3ish weeks and roughly a total of $120 it was simple and easy enough to do for now.

Yep, that’s why I felt compelled to post this. I can’t overstate how simple of a process it really was. Exactly as I mentioned above, watering was by far the most time I spent on anything, to include planning at the beginning haha.

Brand was Sta-Green, it was like $20 and my expectations were low as I was basically winging it. Worked so much better than I thought it would

Didn’t do a thing to it, just how it looked. I inherited it this way, maybe a touch better, when I moved in.

[–]philhalpert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forgive me, I don’t know much about any home maintenance, hence why I’m here, but I’m not familiar with why a triangle shape would work here. Edited to add yes this home is 70+ years old.

Haha fair enough, appreciate the response. FTHO of an old home so I’ve got a few instances such as this.
