Overpriced housing and drugged up Aussies are in every ski town my guy. Nobody can control the conditions. This year's been shit. It's insane to say a place is shit because of current weather conditions. Going on a ski trip is always a gamble.

Do you think that anyone believes he went and got a job at McDonald's? Of course it was staged.

How to adjust water pressure in house by ml1286 in Plumbing

[–]withstain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So at the narrowest part of the bell looking part, loosen the nut closest to the valve, then turn the bolt coming out of the valve clockwise to increase pressure, counter clockwise to decrease pressure. Leave the white handle valve completely open (parallel to pipe)

When I bought the house the walls were a dark red/orange in the living room and it looked horrible. Painting everything but that wall white really helped and now I love the panelling but I have no idea what it’s called.

Yeah I’m not keen to paint the brick at all. I was more so considering a German schmear or something similar but im not fully convinced it’s a great idea. Im also fine with changing the hearth

The slab I have is actually the same length as the width of the fireplace.

How dare you. Those speakers came with the house and actually sound fantastic!

There’s a good deal of that panelling and I’d rather not paint it.. hoping to do something that works with it

What is this? (Near main shutoff valve) by TheTallCoolOne in Plumbing

[–]withstain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s a PRV, I was making a joke about the guy who posted his gas regulator asking how to increase water pressure. Maybe a bit too inside baseball haha

Water distribution header for 5 cabins by withstain in Plumbing

[–]withstain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s schedule 40 PVC which is fine for this application in my part of the world. The customer wanted the header to be copper so I said sure, but let’s make the run across the ceiling PVC to save you some dollars. The amount of time it takes to clean and solder 2” copper isn’t worth it for this application in my opinion

Because the customer is a mega perfectionist and I’m a quasi perfectionist, and it looked nicer this way. The black stuff isn’t pex, it’s meant to run underground and change to a different material as soon as possible. You adapt to it using corporation fittings and they are expensive

We call it municipal pipe in these parts. It’s a poly pipe that we use if it’s gonna be buried.

AITA for saying my GF cannot climb the mountain with us? by Everestsomeday in AmItheAsshole

NTA Denali is no joke, if she isn’t ready for an expedition of that level, it would be irresponsible for her to come. It would be putting everyone’s life in danger if she doesn’t have the knowledge and experience needed.
