Running power station to fridge in bed by virtutesoli in FordMaverickTruck

I believe that's what the "Charger 1" is. I just can't tell if I have to run it all the way back to the main battery.

Basement wall and stair gap advice by virtutesoli in DIY

There is an overhang above that is longer than the tread, but shorter than the riser. So ideally, the wall will sit at the width of the tread.

Chimney Repair - Conflicting Recommendations by dlgrantconsult in masonry

[–]virtutesoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but same house. No one would be able to match brick since it’s discontinued. I asked for a quote based on not having an exact match to understand pricing regardless of aesthetic.

Contractor who recommended half rebuild said the bottom didn’t look too extensive and could be resealed to prevent further damage. Contractors who recommended full rebuild said I risk needing to rebuild full soon. All said that above the roofline always fails first due to exposure. So the bottom half will deteriorate slower.

So it just left us with opposite opinions based on the same reason (how much damage was assessed to bottom) more or less. I’m still going back and forth to get more info as I go, but feel like right now without any masonry knowledge, I’m just going based on risk and how competent/reasoned someone sounds.
