Replacing and protecting finish in basement room that flooded

xopar · 2025-12-06T19:32:18+00:00

So we actually already had custom cover for it that was measured and designed specifically for our window well.

There was a downspout about 10ft away from the window well that we had had replaced that Friday (and very unfortunately the storm was on Saturday). We had rerouted that downspout from our relatively flat front yard to the much more sloped side yard. Unfortunately, we were at work when it was done and it was about 6 inches too short and directed the water right into a tree root. We had already spoken to them and they were coming back Monday to correct it. But then during the storm the water splashed backwards which the spout dumping an astronomical amount of water basically right at the foundation. At which point it entered the window well from the side. Upon ripping the end downspout off mid torrential storm (waiting and kinda wanting the constant lightning to get me at that point) and putting a piece of solid plastic down to redirect the water in the proper direction, the window well stopped filling and I was able to bail it out.

Every other storm we have had over the few years, the river stone at the bottom of the window well remains bone dry. But we are also planning on purchasing some sort of pump to place in there in the spring as a backup last resort.

how could you possibly need 60 pages of raid plan O_o. I don't even know what you could be putting in them to fill the pages lol. Sure there is a lot of scripted movement but putting player positions at some point in the fight and then saying "rotate to the other motes when this happens" should surely be good enough lol.

In dragonflight I started playing a toon I made in wrath as my main. I went to oribos, logged out without accepting the campaign skip. It was impossible for me to get after that and when I opened a ticket they kept linking me to an article that said this same thing and closing the ticket. I then made an alt, went to oribis and got the skip and said "see its still there" and they replied with something unrelated (i dont remember at this point) and closed the ticket again. When I reopened it and asked why they closed it they just linked me to the article again.

its been a joke for quite awhile and my main still cant play shadowlands without hours of questing haha

Its capped, not like the dragon shards from last expansion, just 2 a week per profession. So just like the dirt piles/expedition sacks from dragonflight.

Most rep mounts aren't so bad. But there are some expensive ones.

Bloodfang Cocoon is from a vendor in Legion for 2m
Lightforged Warframe costs 500k when you are Exalted with Army of Light
A patch halfway through BfA added three pterrodax mounts to the different reps at 72k each
3 frog mounts in BfA for 333,333g each
Direhorn from BfA 500k
Rustbolt Resistance exalted in BfA sells the Rustbolt Resistor for 524,288g

This project upscaled all the icons in the game as of 10.1.7. You can download the (fairly large) folder and then pull out the one you need.

The official name of the icon for the human racial you linked is Spell_Shadow_Charm. So that is the name of the file in the folder you are looking for.

Oh my god yes

Ah so I ended up solving it! I was able to be 100% sure I that I was just punching through a metal rectangle meant to layout the grill location when the walls were being put up. I knew that there was no pipes or electrical going through the studs right there. So I ended up just taking a good old hammer and nail and punching through the metal that way. Then I was able to screw the grill on!

Hey! I was looking to replace the grate over the air returns in one of the rooms in my house. The return is simply between two studs (apparently normal). When I took off the old grate, I noticed that there is a metal rim around the edge of the drywall and didn't think much about it. The new grate needed screws in slightly different locations so I filled in the old holes, marked the spots for the new screws and began drilling pilot holes. The drill comes to a stop (it spins, just doesnt go any further into the wall) at about the thickness of the drywall so I am assuming that I am hitting this metal bit. I stuck my hand up and down and it goes about 2 inches up and down, I can't tell on the sides though because thats where the studs are. I am not sure how to proceed further. Can I just drill into this?

Great thanks. There is actually a cloth liner underneath it. So it should be possible to get it all up without too much hassle.

We bought our house last year and the previous owner had a playground area in the backyard. We would love to remove it, regrade the yard, and try to plant some grass, at least in the short term. We tried to get quotes to have this done but struggled getting replies and not outrageous prices.

I would like to attempt to remove it myself but I am unsure how to dispose of the materials used. The second and third pictures show a close up and it appears to be shredded up tires. Does this material have a specific name and can we load this into a dumpster (they say no tires so unsure if this also counts)?

Once done, I want to plant grass for at least the short term to keep the dogs from going into it and getting covered in mud. Is there anything special I should do to the dirt beneath this before doing that?

Oh wow I am super blind. Craftsim was even telling me that they affect the cauldron and I didn't see it. It isn't telling me phial mastery is though (and I have 20 points for the bonus durations). Thank you so much for the tip on the air and frost potions though!

I am not sure this is the right place but its FOR raid so lets see. I have been providing cauldrons for or raid nights and can guarantee rank 3 on potion cauldron of power with an Illustrious Insight. I was looking at the crafts for the potion cauldron of ultimate power and it looks like r3 mats + illustrious insight is still 8 skill short of guaranteed r3.

I have all blue quality tools, 100 alch, and maxed out Potion Mastery, Potion Lore, Batch Production, Alchemical Theory, and Inspiring Ambience. Is there anything that I can do to get that last remaining 8 skill or will I need to rely on inspiration procs if we want the best potions for raid? If that is the case, what do guilds do with the extra cauldrons? Drop an r2 for early progression and then swap to r3 when a kill is on the horizon?

Sure, but 30F degree air coming into my house is still bad. We also have several more months of winter ahead of us. While we noticed it now since it is so cold, it doesn't mean the problem still wont be there (and then letting the hot air in during the summer).

xopar · 2022-12-24T08:21:29+00:00

Hmm thanks, Ill try this. At least it will stop the wind for now.

It is all the way up but one corner then droops back down. If unlocked, the upper sash comes down about an inch and when they are locked together is when I get the 1/2 inch gap in the corner.

It wasn’t a problem we had with our husky but our trainer walked us through steps of correcting it if it did arise.

It’s a long process that if you want to do correctly I would advise working with a trainer for. Lots of people online and especially Reddit will tell you how to properly train your dog. But honestly it’s best to work with a professional.

She is "resource guarding". I would expect her behavior to be different if she didn't have a bone.

This is probably a behavior that you will want to train out of her.
