My apartment has the hot and cold water handles all opposite. Every single one. I'm used to it after six years. But I love when someone comes over and tries the hot water or shower. Haha. Landlord offered to switch them years back but I said it's funnier to just leave them.

And then they found a less capable crew to do the work.

I want to build a cassette style drying rack for clothes. The rack will consist of a frame and then rails to slide each cassette into. The cassettes will be a 37"X37" frame (probably pvc and pvc elbows) and then nylon mesh net for the clothes to rest on (look at the first img I uploaded to see the idea).

I'm looking for cheap and easy and have no experience building things. I have almost no tools aside from a drill and hand tools. Here is a link with several ideas. https://imgur.com/a/mcR8cfD

Note: I own the first product linked. Works well but each tier does not slide out. It's hard to place clothes on each tier and you need to work crouching which is hard on your knees/legs. That's why I need a system with removable cassettes where you can lay a piece of clothing flat on it, preferably on a standing height table, and then insert the cassette in the rack to dry.

Oh wow, I'm doing exactly this right now! Almost exact same setup with a loose middle knob on a questionably old valve. I have access through the back and tile is still decent, so decided to replace the whole thing with a single handle and 3 to 1 hole cover plate.

Oof. Nevermind that shit. Time to patch it up and return the swing.

When you need to recall the ship of theseus, it’s probably time for a new shed.

> Like the Ship of Theseus, you can repair a shed forever: remove the rotten part, put in replacement part.

I have this very, very old hammer amongst the tools in my workshop. I liked to explain to my kids that "this was my grandfather's hammer - my father replaced the handle, and I replaced the head, but it's still my grandfather's hammer. Someday, you will carry on the tradition!"

You took my downvote at pal.

It’s time to scrap the shed when it’s so decrepit that rats will no longer live in it.

I learned recently that only the vermiculite mined in Libby, Montana contained asbestos. Granted, it was a large mine, but the other sources of vermiculite around the world and in the US are by and large asbestos free, or sometimes come up trace positive.

So this could either be very reassuring or much more distressing, depending on your proximity to Libby, Montana.

Aaah another valve forgeter like me. I resorted to a big sticker at both the wall plug and te regulator switch to remember to close the valve

Whatever you get buy something that allows you to turn the shower on an off but that has separate, single control for temperature

Everything else is pure garbage

Your wall is breaking, you need to have it plastered. Don't DIY

They haven’t a clue what they are doing. FIRE THEM NOW OP!! Any professional would have put new drywall over the old textured surface. They probably didn’t even have a stud finder. Absolutely nothing but wasted money is what you’ll have with these schmucks.

You also probably want to get a radon test if there is a lot of exposed Earth in your enclosed basement

Both links are the same.

And a test for radon

Basin wrench or craftsman maxaccess sockets/ratchets that can go all the way to the nut past the threaded bolt

I find that hard to believe. It's been in the IRC for years. https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/IRC2015/chapter-3-building-planning/IRC2015-Pt03-Ch03-SecR302.11

>It doesn't matter that much if you use it frequently

IMO if you use it every day, you drain it every day

You can get cancer from smoking one cigarette. You're not going to get cancer from smoking one cigarette. Both comments are basically true. That is why we're less concerned about homeowners dealing with lead then we are professionals. A carpenter or a plumber or a demolition worker is going to be exposed to a thousand times more dangerous things than someone that remodels 10 houses in their lifetime. Enough so that we need to take measures to protect. A little lead paint in your body at the age of 30 is probably not going to kill you. In fact, not even close.

He could be your dad.

You never know.

There are no such rules for interior walls where I live. They’re just there to hold drywall.
