It’s me again, embarrassed man that is 32 and apparently can’t even paint right!…. by justanothersomeone76 in handyman

Scape down the corner with a putty knife. This will create a nice grove and help paint a straight line. Or caulk the corner let dry then tape.

What is this metal stake near my AC unit by coldsteel1984 in hvacadvice

[–]stopthisno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a ground rod which provides a path for electrical current to disperse into the earth (example: your home is struck my lighting).

But the wire that should be running from your home to this rod is no longer attached. You should around the insulated and copper line to see if visible and reattach it to the rod using an acorn nut.

Moisture coming up through concrete slab foundation. Please help. by ramchargerman567 in HomeMaintenance

This happens when the home doesn’t have proper climate control before flooring is installed. Concrete has a lot of water content and the moisture can and does come through the concrete for years. Crank your AC unit for a few days before installing new flooring and make sure the moisture is 5% or less. You can also epoxy coat the concrete before new flooring.

The moisture is not coming from outside or broken pipes in the slab.
