Any old pillows?

Please don’t stuff with tshirts or newspaper - fire risk.

That bubbly no slip drawer liner is probably the next best thing. Easy to find and cut.

Rockwool is your best bet, but I don't think that glass door is going to be helping with soundproofing.

Must be prepared to dig in through that closet if it comes to it.

My takeaway from that article was that 8' 4x4's are particularly garbage (because they're always plywood veneer cores) but 10-footers are dramatically better, which is useful to know

That would work if there was an 11/16 compression fitting out there. The problem is that the only part of the exposed pipe that's 5/8 (1/2 inch) is mostly stuck in the valve.

I think my new solution might be cutting it off as far from the wall as possible, then I'm pretty sure the remaining pipe will slip fit over 1/2 copper. So I can then sweat in a regular copper pipe (which I'm pretty sure how it's attached inside the wall), and attach a standard valve to the new 1/2 pipe.

It's a bit risky because I don't know the ID of the pipe I'm cutting, but it feels really thin (and already dented easily when I was monkeying around early on).

It'd be super easy if such a magically convenient piece were available for a reasonable price. If it's got to be custom, then another day of messing around would be better.

I also figured out that the little rubber seal bit isn't supposed to be all wavy like it is, so I got a new one for $5. I'll see if that stops enough water. Otherwise, it sounds like I'll have another fun Saturday of messing around with the shower door.

I would never build a deck with 4x4s. 6x6 or bust. The price difference is negligable and the strength difference is huge. Id only use 4x4s for railings or some other non structural scenario.

That's so crazy it just might work.

Just take the door apart and put it back together the other way.

What's the goal? To make clay that works as a match striker?

The red phosphorous is critical, it's what makes it all work. It bridges the gap between how much heat you have rubbing wood on powdered glass, and what it takes to light the fuel on the match head.

I'm pretty sure red phosphorous is not straight forward to purchase. And even if you could, coating clay in it would be a hazard.

Got it! thanks.

Rubber cement usually works best

Huh, never heard of that, so thanks for the idea. I'll give it a try.

Would I need some special glue for it, or can I just use like superglue or something?

To be honest, you solution sounds like more of a fuzz than just fixing it in the right way.

Use EVA/craft foam :)

If you glue it right on the tablet stand, it'll increase the friction against the tablet or phone, usually enough to hold against sliding

On inside corners, I've used tape. On outside corners, I've used a metal corner bead with tape flanges (I think that's the term). It's worked for me, but I'm no professional.

4x4s are mostly garbage for this very reason.

I'm guessing it's easier to strip out the entire corner. Scrape off as much loose stuff and old mud as you can, then retape. I use paper tape but you could look into "drywall inside corner bead" for alternatives. I also have a corner trowel which does a great job, but the expense and learning curve have me giving only a qualified recommendation for that.

heresy,but staples

Be careful. When I messed with a few inches in 2 spots where the tape was pulling away in a corner, removing the tape pulled more away. I ended up having to redo 1/2 of the corner.

Absolutely 👍
