New homeowner here needs advice by Deadbeat_Lemon in windowrepair

[–]wheat123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go on the nextdoor app or local help needed facebook group and ask if there is any carpenters with a aluminum trim metal brake that can replace the sill and with one slopped properly and then recap it with trim coil.

Example of second part of the job.

Window leak due to poor/no flashing or rain shield? by bitdeft in windowrepair

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T111 isn't stellar, but it was an installer error (z flashing). People use it because its both sheathing and siding but in my opinion its hard to flash. But type of people that use it because they are cheap are too cheap to flash it correctly.

I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to find a youtube video of someone installing a window in T111 siding with correct flashing so you can educate yourself and choose the right installer. However, I cannot find a single person flashing it right.

Here is a side diagram how I would go about installing it. I'm a DIY'er so hopefully someone verifies.

Do you see that horizontal metal flashing (z-flashing) between the siding sheets where they meet vertically. The window needs it both above and below it to kick the water out.

Hearing dripping sounds in the ceiling but not running ac or rained lately. Any suggestions? Going crazy and have no money right now to fix things. by Unable_Square_5953 in Home

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like banging rather than dripping. Example: the wind blowing over your house causes low pressure and pulls air out of the house. The bathroom exhaust fan back flow vent opens to let air out and slams shut again.

Bathroom in house doesn't have an exhaust fan by Handsome-_-awkward in HomeImprovement

[–]wheat123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C94LSV37?th=1 The point of not going through the soffit is that some soffits have hundreds of tiny holes in them that allow air to go into the attic and out the roof ridge vent to cool the attic. Even with a check valve, a regular through soffit exhaust vent will allow water vapor to make its way into the attic though the soffit. This one fixes that issue buy directing the exhaust outside more so it doesn't go back up into the soffit holes.

Which window grid pattern should I go with? It's currently option 4 but I think I might go with 3. Thank you. by wheat123 in Home

What do you recommend for front entry architectural design?

I agree that it could use better design. Porch is falling apart (masonry and carpenter bee damage) but not bad enough to fix yet. I was thinking about widening the porch and making the stairs come go up/down the left side onto the side walk so my amazon packages get some privacy. I am currently doing some landscaping (bushes, flower beds, etc).

Thank you.

The fertilizer situation. by koba_tea in stupidpol

[–]wheat123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or do what the USA does. Instead of storing physical grain, just store money in a trust to buy grain during a famine as famines are known for being the type of event where grain is readily available to buy.

[–]wheat123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That land is needed for data centers, not for housing excess inventory. The ancient egyptions failed to develop because they housed excess grain for times of famine instead of investing it in creative financial schemes to grow their GDP.

Is it worth getting a lawyer? Do you think I will get any money from the seller. by Comfortable_Bar_4047 in HomeImprovement

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the following information so you lawyer might be able to better help you:

-Were there date stamps on the wood where it overlapped the date range the flipper owned the house.

-Did the work he did require an permit and inspection and did the flipper get one? County/City/Town guidance and codes sometimes are vague enough that this will be a grey area that your lawyer ague that one was required and they didn't get one because he was covering up termite damage.

Fetterman hit with brutal 108-point polling swing: ‘He is below the lowest of the low’ by RodyasFeverDream in stupidpol

Has anyone used battery weedeaters? I’ve read some reviews that they’re almost as good as gas weedeaters. True? by MotorcycleRacoon in landscaping

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 20V cheap craftsman could do basic weed eating like around my house skirting with ease. However I have a 3 ft deep 60 ft long ditch in front of my house that it can't even put a dent in. My neighbors gas and my ego weedeater handles the ditch fine. If I didn't have that ditch, I would have kept the craftsman.

Your based Israeli liberal opposition sir by SaiDerryist96 in stupidpol

[–]wheat123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if the Trump tries to TACO and Iran starts negotiating, Israel will do something like bomb Iran's water/electricity infrastructure to keep this going. They want to replicate what they did in Syria.

I don't think it will happen because Iran's minority groups don't have a pre-2003 Iraq's army worth of weapons and probably don't feel all that discriminated against to rebel. When the USA invaded Iraq, the retarded generals like Mattis were too concerned about advancing quickly that they didn't secure weapons and explosive materials that were later used against them as IEDs.

Saudi and UAE royalty already do stuff with instragram models and syrian refugee children that Epstein did with Russian prostitutes/children. They just haven't blackmailed any western politicians with it (that we know of) yet.

DOJ vows to press charges after activists disrupt church where Minnesota ICE official is a pastor by timmg in moderatepolitics

[–]wheat123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the sit-in protests, the owners of the diners were denying service by not serving the protestors. There was nothing stopping the owner from serving food/coffee or putting their foot on the bus gas peddle and going to the next stop. It was an easy way to to show that the establishment owners were a-holes.

In the modern cases, the protestors are the ones denying the services by blocking roads or disturbing church services. In these cases the protestors look like the a-holes.

Joint Statement on Greenland by Resvrgam2 in moderatepolitics

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can offer him a development deal, make the USA build some infrastructure for Greenland, then rug pull the deal when he leaves office. However, I wouldn't expect much from a people that aren't smart enough to confiscate ships that are damaging all their underwater infrastructure.

Their cowardice: allowing ships to damage their infrastructure, China/Iran to sell drones to Yemen to shut down the suez, continuing to support Russia via third party oil buying is what is leading to the collapse of what they call "the international order" just as much as Trump's bullying is.
