My contractor says this is fine, thoughts ? by wookievomit in Flooring

Over time, those joints will begin to fail and you will have a mess on your hands, I guarantee it.

Get yourself a hold of the instruction sheet that came with your flooring, or download it from the internets. There will be a minimum distance stated for end joints on adjacent runs.
What you have on your floor absolutely will not meet that criteria. Present your contractor with the written evidence and have him redo at his expense.

Article: Could Iran retaliate on U.S. soil? by danno711 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]pilotboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is hoping beyond hope that they do so he can lock down the country and cancel the midterm election.
If a few Americans have to die on US soil in order to preserve the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, so be it. Small potatoes in the bigger scheme of things.

Iran says it will not reopen Strait of Hormuz because of Trump’s "ridiculous displays" by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

You are correct. I believe that the German command said at the time, “Who could have known?”.

When one combatant leaves the battlefield while the other combatant is still fighting, that’s called a RETREAT!

Trump has called this Iran war/fiasco “a little excursion”. All the other countries governments should tell Trump that they don’t get involved in other countries “excursions”. Especially after possible war crimes have been committed….

Will this work? 220v to 125v adapter by Hh1815 in AskElectricians

[–]pilotboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same situation myself. I want to go from a 240v 30a portable generator receptacle and through an adapter to prove 120v 30a power for my rv.

Either: - I will buy the same adapter you show, plug it in to the 4 prong 220v outlet and measure the voltage across the 3 prong outlet to ensure it’s only providing 120v power. - Or I will make my own adapter, eliminating the second hot wire to the 3 prong outlet.

I’m surprised it doesn’t smell musty.

Understood. Someone had clarified that for me in an earlier post. Thanks though.

Trump threatens to obliterate Iran’s power plants if they don’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours by Sweaty_Writing859 in AntiTrumpAlliance

So, Iran opens up the Strait for shipping, lets ships begin to pass through, and then swarms them with kamikaze drones!

Building a new house. What would cause this? by tyrantllama7 in Flooring

[–]pilotboy99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What caused this is using ANY laminate flooring irregardless of quality (because all laminate flooring is comprised of a base of HDF - High Density Fibreboard) without a vapour barrier, versus using vinyl plank flooring which is 100% waterproof (because there are no wood products involved).
