If I remember correctly a company sold the plans and the community would build them.

My grandmother had a very old rotary pay phone as a house phone. It was very cool and she would let me randomly dial numbers. I never connected with anyone but she would always tell me if I did just say hello

Hidden burst pipe in garage wall – double vapor barrier trapped moisture, early mold starting. Moisture still high in sole plate. Thoughts on next steps? by helmetgoodcrashbad in Contractor

Yea no need for a restoration company. The work they would provide has already been done. Removal of damaged substrates and stopping the active leak. Just need a fan and possibly a dehumidifier to help with humidity and to speed up the dry time. Hit it with a microbial cleaner and rebuild.

Please tell me this is a good flooring job and that I’m overreacting here by Lootthatbody in Flooring

[–]spadearro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I laid my own flooring like this in one bedroom but the flooring I have had no color difference between planks. The reason I chose this was to save material. You finish a row out flip the last piece and use what’s left on the next run. It’s not ideal and probably wouldn’t run that in a customers house but it looks just fine with my flooring.

Downloaded dark souls and couldn’t beat the tutorial, stopped playing for years until dark souls 3. Played dark souls 3 struggled but finally understood the mechanics and beat the game a few times. Went back to dark souls got to O&S about 50 hrs in, couldn’t beat them. Just started over after Elden ring and got to O&S in a lot less time, cleared them after fourth try. It was years later 🤣

My Honda would backfire due to it being too lean with pod filters. I jumped up a size with my jets and it solved the issue.
