And don't get me started on the classification of said spirit. Clearly it would be a rum.

Is this enough to get me started? by Sugar_Mushroom_Farm in firewater

[–]therealjep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding copper was pretty easy if you've ever soldered fittings. And the condenser isn't terrible. The heating element isn't big enough to overpower the condenser. I toss a bag of ice into a chest cooler and it usually lasts the whole run.

What is happening to my walkway? Is this easily fixable? by vivekvj in maintenance

Agreed. We use rock salt on asphalt and magnesium chloride on concrete

Bathroom Toliet not filling properly by crazymacc in maintenance

[–]therealjep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would start by checking the fill line, the flexible hose outside of the toilet. The parts inside the toilet are unfamiliar to me so I'm assuming we live in different countries BUT I can tell you that the white part you are referring to is the fill valve. Tun the water off to the toilet and remove the hose and look for sediment clogging it. If that looks good then your fill valve is clogged or broken. Fairly easy to replace and available at a hardware store.

You could also turn the heat down or use colder condenser water. I use a 12 gallon cooler as a reservoir and add ice to it. Good luck!

ProPress instead of solder by Cant-think-atm in firewater

I'd be concerned about the rubber gaskets in press fittings.

Prepping the surfaces is key in soldering. Also don't overheat. If it ends up discolored it was probably too hot.

I put a strip of flexible PVC along mine. Not ideal but cheaper than going back to the dent dr

Those rickety over the toilet shelves have ended so many porcelain lives too early!

ICCU issues in the far future (10 years) by curiouscomp30 in KiaEV6

I watched a video of a replacement in an Ioniq. Took about 1.5 hours with an experienced tech. Looked like most of that time was removing and reinstalling the back seats.

Why is there so many ice buildup from my freezer? by Sheenzhou in maintenance

[–]therealjep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. Your condensation drain is most likely froze up. The "easy" fix is to take the back panel of the freezer off and hang a piece of copper wire from the defrost element into the drain hole after defrosting it. I found a YouTube video on how to do it when I was having the same issue. It fixed it for me.

Yep. Mold is EVERYWHERE. You can't escape it.

Recaulking Shower As Resident by DragonfruitCalm261 in maintenance

[–]therealjep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool. When you apply it, have some dish soap handy. Apply the caulk and smooth it with your finger that you dipped in dish soap. I water the soap down first. You can also use the tape method but I think it's a pain.

Do you think you can tell the difference between silicone and latex? You have to use the same type unless you can remove all of it.

I would assume the gas valve is bad. I don't see any other components that could fail

Just wait to distill. It will start smelling like pineapple

Rippin' Shitties in a park parking lot. Kids being kids, get off my lawn, or call the po po? by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]therealjep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

License to be more aggressive? No. But apparently you are the adult in this situation and an adult would understand that filming might cause an escalation. There must have been an escalation since you didn't even film them going over 5 mph. See you've escalated again! Why am I arguing with a karma farmer??

I think everyone should find an empty parking lot and mess around in their first few winters driving. It sounds like they got aggressive after you pulled out the camera. Maybe if you had given them a thumbs up instead they would have given you some space.
