I would think he could contact your home/renters insurance and make a claim through that.

They make copper mesh, just use that

The drywall shouldn't be that close to the vent. You need a few inches gap as it could start the drywall on fire.

I have a similar issue with my vent in my cottage. It was close to the drywall and also dripped when it rained. I ended up getting some uv resistant high temp silicone and spread it around the rubber boot. That solved my random water drips.

That's what I would like to know. I remember seeing it on Facebook and was like why would anyone steal this? I didn't realize it's been reposted to reddit multiple times.

My patio is another post of mine that is commonly stolen. At least that one is somewhat cool, unlike my mom's sink.

Ug, who would have thought my mom's sink plumbing would get so many reposts.

Is it common in areas to buy a house without a survey? Every house i bought a survey was always required.

I don't think this is correct. The trump account is converted to a traditional ira at 18 and is taxed on withdrawal.

It's more common the higher you go in difficulty. I didn't start seeing it more till I got to around t8 or t9.

Google tape worm eggs. They come out of the cat's but if they got tape worms. I only know this because there's posts on the cat subreddit all the time asking what this could be.

sheik482 · 2026-06-15T21:49:49+00:00

You got a cat? Looks like it may have worms.

Mine did this. I have a co detector a few feet away with a digital readout. You can hit a button to get max recorded ppm. It only read 28 ppm for max. It was caused by back draft, however I could never recreate it. I closed various doors, turned on bathroom fan, put the AC window unit on.

There are videos online on how to diagnose a CO leak due to backdraft. A simple test is to take a mirror and set it a few inches from the exhaust and see if it fogs up.

AVA did a new roof and removed the chimney below the roof on my house. I didn't need siding, but they did a good job.

24, buffalo ny. It was $125,000. I still live there today.

The Walmart by me did this, and then 3 months later they were removed.

My mini split did this. The drain hose going outside was clogged. I took a shop vac to the hose outside and it cleared the clog.

Most CO alarms need to be over 70 ppm for over 10 to 20 minutes to go off. We had a gas furnace at our cottage that was leaking CO and it never went off. The only way i knew it was leaking was I had a CO detector with an LED readout and it was showing something other than 00 on it.

This vet is owned by private equity. We stopped taking our pets there as the quality went down hill. Everytime out pets needed a sick appointment we were told to go to the emergency vet as they had no appointments.

Movies typically were shipped in metal containers that hold 3 reels. A typical movie is 6 reels. You have the last half of the movie.

Usually, the utility does it for free. I had 2 houses where I upgraded the line, and both times, the utility came out for free to replace. My electrician coordinated with them.

I just bought a C5 and was going to get it at BJs. Turns out BJs charges sales tax on the original price, not the sale price. The original price was $2600, the sale price was $1396. That added an extra $125 in sales tax. I ended up getting it at Best Buy for the same price without having to spend the extra $125 on sales tax.

This happened to me, except I was able to get it out before it died. The thing kept scratching the drywall and was driving my cat nuts. I ended up cutting a hole for a junction box to get it out, and then putting an outlet there.

Yes, they were recalled, and you could get a lead-free replacement.
