I desperately need to get more hooks in my bathroom. What type is generally preferred? I think I like the Amazon ones a little more, but is the Walmart style better, where the towel can go over instead of having to hang on the hook part? Just wondering if being hung on such a J-shaped hook will cause the fabric to stretch and shape oddly over 2-3 days.
I'd like to add more shelves to this unit as I don't need this much space between them for shoes, but I haven't come up with any ideas on how to DIY some shelves into here. Any suggestions?!
Upper peninsula of MI and the lawn gets bumpier and bumpier every year, it seems! I'm guessing because of snow melt? How do I prevent this and keep it smooth enough that I don't think someone will roll an ankle walking across? 😆
This mower will only start/run with the spark plug disconnected, but not too far. Connecting it fully or pulling it further, as shown in the video, causes it to shut off. It won't start unless the spark plug is disconnected. What needs to be fixed? Is it fine to use it like this?
Tldr: how do we keep these bottom studs dry, it appears the dampness is coming from the ground?
This section of the basement was added on. The original basement, as you can see in one of the pictures, is rock wall. The exterior walls of the new basement are block with foam insulation and drywall (that needs to be repaired) but the wall along the old basement is studs, as shown here, and some sort of plywood and paneling. The bottom studs have been damp since we moved in; they never dry out completely although it gets better and worse. It seems the water must be coming up from the ground because nothing above it appears wet. How do we mitigate this? There's never actual puddled water, just the fact that the studs are always damp (and starting to rot). We've been running a dehumidifier but not sure where to start otherwise. Located in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
My husband has an opportunity to take a new position paying $45k more than he currently makes. I'm a SAHM with one child and we hope to have more. The catch with the new job is that it does not offer benefits (it's a very small company). Is $45k more a year worth having to find our own health/vision/dental insurance? Located in Michigan, if that makes a difference.
I'm going to give a long-winded explanation here, but basically I'm wondering if this home in the assisting piece could be causing water in the wall of the basement?
This is an old house with a rock wall basement in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The section to the right was an addition, with a block basement added underneath. The two basements were not combined and the wall of the new basement has studs and drywall alongside the old wall through the middle of the house. It's consistently been wet about two studs in from that corner. Could it be from the hole in that corner piece?
We're in Minneapolis area from out of town and having issues with 2014 Honda Odyssey (140k miles), potentially the alternator. It just happened Saturday night and we have to be driving out of town early Monday. Does anybody know of someone/somewhere that can do this repair on Sunday? Thanks!
