My good neighbor got arrested. Can I help him?

I live in a terrible neighborhood and they took the most straight fella. He was always nice to me, wave etc unlike all the assholes that walk free. I don’t know what he did and what happened, but they later searched his house with a dog.

After the search, they left some lights on in his house and it’s been like that for a couple of weeks already. I know bills add up quickly, should I try to reach out to somebody so that the lights are turned off and perhaps gas service turned off if he’s in for a long time?

Great authentic places in bad neighborhoods?

Okay, I have a very specific request. I have an itch for "still standing" businesses, especially restaurants and bars located in troubled or borderline neighborhoods. Maybe there is a 100 years old bar or diner in a building you'd think is due for demolition? Or maybe a nice unexpected pocket in an area most people avoid? A hidden gem diner run by a 100 yo grunts? Please share!

My personal favorites on east side:

* Marvin's Hardware at 16001 St Clair Ave. A time capsule hardware store run by an elderly couple with oil lamps and rolls of 50 years old wires in their backroom that they will try to sell as "still good".

* Bill Kap Piano on Euclid Ave in East Cleveland. Amazing old world vibes, sad that I don't need a piano

* E185 pocket north of I90 and my personal favorite place in the area - Gus's Diner One Eight Five

* Stevenson's Bar & Grill on E200

First time staining wood

I am building some kitchen cabinets. Bought the best birch plywood I could find around and applied some oil based pecan stain and going to apply Zar Poly OMU urethane finish. How’d I do?

If your KIA has been stolen recently

This is one parked behind 1645 Cliffview Rd. The police will do nothing but share my information with the gang so not calling them.

Fuck fixing cars

Like, seriously. Fuck this shit. It is absolutely inhumane punishing activity. Weird poses, pinching, poisonous chemicals. Somehow it is recommended to do yourself all over reddit if you are poor and even romanticized and bragged about by some people.

I have spent 3 days bathing in brake fluid because my truck decided to shit the brake lines.

Nothing in it is human friendly. Nobody gives a damn how you are going to work on it when they design it. A mechanic would cost my monthly budget and I can't even blame them. And I am still expected to be on the road by tomorrow.

What's up with the ungodly amount of scam calls as of recently?

I've never seen anything like this, scammers calling me from 216 numbers every 40-50 minutes. Anyone else experiencing anything like this? Any ideas how to stop this?

Is this type N hydrated lime is good for making scratch coat lime putty?

I am learning traditional plaster and trying to figure out what will work the best for scratch coat. I'll be reusing original wood lath here and there and install rib metal lath where the original lath is missing.

I'm really struggling to find non dolomite lime though here in Ohio, it is almost like people really hate plaster and everything lime here haha. Closest I could find is this Canadian Graymont lime in a supply store in PA. Should I go for it or there are better options?

Safe, not too expensive, great schools, not diverse

I want to get out of Cleveland area (and preferably out of Ohio) so bad. I think I can get like $100k out of my house and my parents can add like 30-50k on top of that, so I think I can afford mortgage on a $350-450k home with up $7k per year property tax.

I just want to move to some incredibly safe area with character (preferably old world neighborhoods, not suburban hellhole with plastic cookie cutter homes) which is in a great condition and has great schools around.

I don't care about weather at this point and I don't care about jobs because I work remotely.

NH? Maine? Somewhere in Wisconsin?

Can't enable iCloud sync because it is asking for my old iPhone passcode

I used to have an iphone like 8 years ago and then I bought something else. Recently I've got a new iPhone and added my Apple account to it. I have no issues with 2fa auth or anything but when trying to use the icloud it asks me for the passcode of my old phone.

For the love of God I can't remember it. It was so long ago. I looked into my Apple account and that old iphone is not listed in my devices. Anything I can do about it?

Thanks

Vancouver Carpenter announces he begins doing plaster

Thoughts on the video?

Personally I'm going to experiment with lath & plaster and maybe veneer plaster in a masonry building that I own.

Why aren't you guys have the decency to reject a job instead of stirring water with ridiculous quotes?

I'm so tired of this. People coming, agree to do the job and then either ghost me or send me quotes and then ghost me.

The last one quoted me $68000 to fix a load bearing wall. Okay. I worked 2 jobs 6 months like crazy and finally have the money. We discussed that it can take me this amount of time to get the money. Now he promises to write up the contract "tomorrow" and then never responds.

I'm trying to be nice, accommodating, not bother them too often. What did I do to deserve this. Should I improve my communication, should I only work with large companies? This one is licensed, bonded and insured, seemed to be very knowledgeable. Still no luck.

Why not just say that you don't want the job instead of wasting my time?

New bullet holes in my house

It seems a bullet went through my porch railings and then got stuck in the wall.

170k for a row house in a collapsing block in a ghetto

If you think it might be a good price for a freshly flipped home of this size then just look at the second photo that I took. Adjacent row house has caved in and is now abandoned, it is only a matter of time when the roof framing which is shared with the home listed for sale collapses too completely decimating all the value in this one and causing a ton of issues too.

The collapsed row house is owned by a defunct city land bank and there is not much of what can be done about it.

Any benefits of traditional wooden lath over metal diamond mesh lath?

I want to move away from drywall and preparing to try my hand at plastering. I have a house I can exercise with, unfortunately I removed most of the original lath already. Should I try it with the traditional wooden lath (I see bundles of it are sold at HD) or put metal lath instead? I'm a bit worried about the deflection of metal mesh.

Should I buy this 1970s KitchenAid Superba instead of a modern dishwasher?

I'm honestly overwhelmed with my search for a reliable dishwasher. It's been one year and I still can't make a decision because literally everything has issues with pumps, leaks etc.

Should I buy this vintage dishwasher instead? Anyone have experience with them?

Dishwasher similar to Maytag MDB4949SKZ but more reliable?

I really like the internal space of this Maytag - all stainless steel, even steel sprayers, large capacity. I wish I could like Bosh 300 but it looks so plastic and cheap inside.

The only thing I am worried about is the pump. A lot of complaints about it on Reddit, I dont want to be replacing it within 2 years.

I'm also going to install it myself. I'm building a custom kitchen and the compartment for a dishwasher is not ready yet, I will make it to fit specific model better I guess. How to keep warranty in this case?
