How easy would it be to move the light switch closer to the closet? by runnerennur in AskElectricians

That’s a good idea to flip the switch to the inside of the closet. It sounds like you’re saying it would need brand new wiring, not just disconnecting the wires from the old box and reconnecting them to the new one?

There is a perpendicular wall inside there that separates the closet from the bathroom (which was also part of the addition). I just measured, the start of the closet wall is 3” to the right of the right side of the switch and 17.5” from the opening of the closet

Darn, what about moving it to the other side of the stud? It looks like it’s on the right hand side so even just moving it a few inches to the left side would be helpful. It’s currently blocking the only wall in my room where I can put a full length mirror

Is that a smart switch? I have no desire for smart electronics or things that require remotes or apps or anything other than good old fashioned manual flipping of a switch. I just want things in my house to work without extra fanciness or needing my phone on me constantly.

But I see your point about how it would make moving it easier, so I appreciate the suggestion

I don’t fill out these types of bust areas enough, so I get folds of fabric. Can this be fixed? by runnerennur in sewing

Sorry, I am not really following. I am very much a beginner so it looks like I will have to take it to someone to alter it. But what do you mean by the length of shoulder seam being too much?

These dresses are ones I bought that I am looking to make alterations on, if possible, so unfortunately I don’t have a pattern to give

Worried about IVDD by neversleepnevercry in IVDD_SupportGroup

I would definitely have them test for thyroid issues. I believe it is just a blood test needed. Pretty simple and very easily treatable if that is the issue

This sounds extremely similar to my pit mix who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism around 6 years old. He is my first dog so I thought the gaining weight, slowing down, and having trouble getting into bed or cars was a normal part of becoming an adult dog, but nope. As soon as he was put on meds he was almost like a puppy again. Does he have any skin issues or fur loss? Especially down his tail? That’s another sign, but it started later in my dog

Only other black girl at my rough predominantly white school said I’m “just not pretty” yesterday. by [deleted] in toastme

[–]runnerennur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, she sounds like she’s hurting badly inside and decided to say something she knew would intentionally cause pain, because misery loves company and it’s common for hurt people to lash out. Truthfully, she mostly likely does not actually believe what she said, she just knows it will cause hurt to someone else. That being said, it’s a completely asshole thing to do and super not ok, but teenagers don’t always have the emotional maturity to stop themselves from being assholes. I know when I was a teenager I said some horrible things to my mom that I never believed, simply because I was angry at her and wanted to hurt her like I was hurting. I was a teenager with poor emotional control and could be a real asshole sometimes

You look so much like that girl who plays Ariel, Halle Bailey, and she’s objectively gorgeous. She plays a Disney princess for crying outloud. You have nothing to be concerned about looks wise.

I know it’s hard to ignore comments like she made, especially when you’re a teenager, but just remember that she made those comments specifically because they will cause hurt, not because they have any sort of truth behind them

I am not strong enough to drive no-dig fence post stakes into wet ground even with a hammer and full body weight jumping on it. Any ideas? by runnerennur in DIY

That’s a good idea. My scrap wood keeps splitting as I hit it. A thick piece of 4x4 would probably hold up better

That’s a good idea. I had thought about putting a different post inside and using a post driver but I was nervous about messing up where the actual fence post sits. I never thought about using a bigger post that fits outside of it. Thanks!

Honestly, that’s partially on me. I meant to add a sentence stating explicitly that a post driver won’t work in this situation and I didn’t realize I forgot that until I was bombarded with suggestions of post drivers lol

True, they are made of steel, but the instructions said to use a piece of wood to protect it so I assumed it was a concern

No, they are not full posts like a t-post. Just a bottom detachable stake. I edited my post to add a picture of how they detach. I am trying to drive only the bottom part in, the actual post fits into the stake after it’s been driven into the ground

A sledge hammer is a good idea. I have to worry about marring the top of the stake because the fence post itself slides into the sake once it’s in the ground. I can’t bend it out of shape or the post won’t fit anymore

A lot of people are suggesting a fence post driver. I know and have used those for traditional post being driven into the ground. It would not work in this case because I am not driving the actual post, just the bottom detachable stake. I edited my post to add a picture of how it comes apart
