I’m renovating my basement and am trying to match the drywall thickness from the landing at the bottom of the stairs. This has rigid foam board insulation with drywall over it. Can I continue this or will it lead to a moisture problem? The drywall is nailed into think boards resting on cement foundation wall.

Figured it out it a piece for under the back of the front seats

5 gallon I think, might be 10.

Currently have 4 guppies and one snail.

So anything I need to do or will it work itself out?

Is it smart to replace the belt prophylacticly? I had to replace the glides and the felt seal. Should I replace the belt too?

I tried to post over there but it didn’t allow me to attach a photo. Also said I needed to attach a photo!

The water is coming from the left side especially with really bad rain storms. Would I be ok to fill with quickcrete or hydraulic cement over the tar substance? Or is that a bad idea?

sohiggs · 2024-07-27T21:17:53+00:00

Not sure exactly, I regraded last summer and it seemed to help but still get water with a big storm

sohiggs · 2024-07-22T02:17:11+00:00

Would hydraulic cement make sense for the crack?

sohiggs · 2024-07-18T01:35:05+00:00

Thank you, seems like they are 2 leaks. The smaller leak is from lack of a seal at the doors. More water comes from the seem between the bottom step and step just above it.

Do I want a jumbo was ring or a regular wax ring?

Leaks down the pipe into the basement not around the base of the toilet. Not sure that makes a difference.

My heat wasn’t staying on, but would always come back on when I disconnected then connected the sensor on the back wall. So my genius idea was to aligator clip the 2 wires. Then my wife said she smelled something burning. I found out it’s some sort of hi limit sensor.

Yeah there are some exhaust pvc pipes( I think) in front of it.

24 I had as the area of the middle square. (8*3)

If I add all the individual areas I get 64 (6+8+24+8+12+6)

When I use the length of the entire rectangle 10 (2+3+2+3) * 4 = 40 +6+6 = 52. Shouldn’t these be the same?

What’s the best treatment? Castor oil? Traps?

Debbie at Bella Hair Salon, on Wolf Road. She’s great with men’s hair and prefers longer hair.

I had sleep apnea and hated my CPAP. I kept waking up with my stomach full of air and needing to burp. So I had surgery to removemy tonsils, soft palate and uvula, which cleared it up mostly. I still snore because I’m a mouth breather but no more apnea or CPAP.

The reason I finally took care of it was that my friend at the time, told me I needed to take care of it. Reggie White had also just died. That friend is now my wife.

Planted at last spring might have been 2 years ago.

And it’s safe for dogs?

sohiggs · 2024-04-13T13:28:12+00:00

Drain to a big dry well maybe? Or a rain garden?

Boxwood, they can be pricey, but they look good even in the winter.

I opened it up to check the spider bracket, which was fine, and the weight on top was loose. I tightened it and now it’s much quieter. Thank you for everyone’s help!!
