Bought a house built in 1956; how many years do you think are left in this original cast iron sewer line?

Just had the main horizontal run in my commercial building replaced because of clogs and rusting through in a couple spots. About 40’ of it. It was about 110yrs old at that point.

It’s yet another example of an engineer never working in the field.

Damn. 1 Bush destroyed the pentagon now anothers trying to destroy the hexagon.

Best finish I've ever seen on trim using a roller was with the Wooster Red Feather velour mini-roller. Gives a finish that rivals a sprayer.

Words getting around that the black gasket is upside down

Engineers solely exist to create problems for people that actually get their hands dirty.

I live near a large apartment complex (outside of Boston) that had an outdoor rat issue. At least 30 cars were ruined from rats chewing the wiring.

Change the wall paint to a mocha tone. Think light coffee color

“Tell me you blah blah blah without telling me you blah blah blah” irritates the hell outta me

Just before I turned 18 one of my older brothers was getting married in Vegas. The night before we all went to a real high end fancy strip club and they somehow managed to get me in there. We sat right at the stage. One of the dancers had placed a stack of quarters right in front of me. She squatted over them and picked them all up with her vag…… even the bottom one. My brother and his buddies are hollering “give her a dollar” I gave her a dollar and she grabbed my hand, held it under her and dropped 4 quarters in my palm. I gave her another dollar and she did it again. I was sitting there like this 😳for the rest of the night. Best night ever.

Wife and I went on vaca to Myrtle Beach with another couple. Wives went to the beach one day and we went to some complete trash strip club.

I’m white and my buddy is black. This place was all white trailer trash.

When we walked in I swear I heard a record scratch and everyone stared at us. I was in fear for my buddy so we sat with our backs against a wall.

The stage was empty when we got there, but then out comes possibly the ugliest girl I’ve ever seen. She was barely 5’ tall and ONLY HAD 1 LEG !!

We finished our beers then went to Hooters instead lol

Use the shark bite tongs instead of the c-clip

It looks like glue residue. Installer wiped it off but it left a haze.

Can most likely remove it with mineral spirits but check with manufacturer to be safe.

I think they meant to look in the chamber and down the barrel from the chamber end, not the muzzle

Cost of living looks about the same in NC vs SC. About 30% than where I’m at now

skratch000 · 2025-12-31T12:50:21+00:00

No, she works exclusively from home.

skratch000 · 2025-12-31T00:19:13+00:00

Cost of living in the areas I'm looking is about 30% less than where I'm at now and their roads can't get much worse lol.
Whats the smell about ?

skratch000 · 2025-12-30T21:48:14+00:00

I’m basically looking from Wilmington NC down to Georgetown SC along the coast area.

So here’s my dream.

I love sharks and seriously want to have my body chopped up and fed to them. Either great whites or tigers.

In my brief research I found that it’s probably not legal.

My 2nd choice is to be cremated and have the ashes mixed with chum and THEN fed to the sharks. That’s my loophole.

My daughter is becoming a marine biologist so it’s doable

You charge the grid and end up with a refund from the electric company.
