Do I need to wait longer?

Do I need to wait longer?

We’re closing up our garden, but the milkweed seed pods haven’t opened up yet. Do I need to let them be a little longer or can I pull up the plants and disperse the seeds on my own. I want to till my garden, but I can wait if I need to.

Removing patch glue from fabric.

I have used Scout uniforms that I buy at sales and donate to my kids troops. When removing the patches some parents have ironed the patches on. How can I remove this glue properly?

Thanks for any and all advice.

I’m wondering about this weed barrier.

I keep seeing this cloth on FB pictures.

Is it good to use it? I’m worried that it will increase the soil temperature, and effecting the growth of our vegetable plants. Is that anything to worry about?

If it’s a good product, where do you buy it? This stuff looks super heavy duty.

Do I need to worry about micro plastics?

Best VA mortgage bank?

Are there any opinions on a decent bank or credit union to work with to secure a VA home loan? Illinois if it matters.

Is this the result of different metals creating a chemical reaction?

As my title asks.

Is this from different metals creating the chemical reaction?

Should I replace the copper ASAP or can I just replace the pipe holders? It’s about 10 feet of copper then the previous homeowner transitioned to what appears to be steal.

What is going on and how do I fix it?

So I turn the watch off completely at bedtime. I’ve only been wearing this for a few days and can’t wear it overnight on my wrist because I have to wear braces.

How do I get the dark screen to go away on the watch and my phone? M mornings I have had to hold the crown down for the phone to “wake up” The little bed is still on my phone and the watch just goes back to “dark”

Need advice with a screw in my dining room chairs.

I have a dining set that’s maybe 15 years old and I’m having problems with the screws that hold the legs on, both the table and the chairs.

Can I get some advice for the chairs? There’s a bolt that can be tightened that holds the leg on to the chair. When I tighten the bolt, the screw loosens from the chair. Is there any way to keep the screw from loosening?

Ok. Part 2. This for me is a difficult thing to read.

This is part 2 of the addressed envelope.

Trigger warning. Talking of suicide unfortunately.

As far as I am aware, my dad was not in Iowa when this letter was sent. But everything is fuzzy because of the livings unwillingness to cooperate with this subject.

I am however curious what everyone thinks that the name is before the unborn child remark.

Ventriloquist doll.

So I picked this little guy up from an estate sale a few years ago. He freaks my kids out but I really like him.

I can find a little information on the type of ventriloquist doll but I am hoping someone here knows something more than I can find.

He’s 15 inches long.

I posted this originally in Whatisit but since I knew that it is a “doll” the post was removed. It’s more than just a doll, but whatever.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Any and all help is very much appreciated.

Probably easy for you guys to decipher.

So, my deceased dad had gotten a girl pregnant way back in the 60’s and my grandmother didn’t think she was “good enough” for her son.

This lady went back to Pennsylvania and contacted my dad with this letter (I’m starting with the envelope for now) and then one more time after he married my mom (I was born after they were married.

I’m hoping that someone can decipher the name on the envelope and address as well.

Again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I’m not going to contact anyone, just to clarify my intent.

Question about insulation in an older wall oven.

We have an older wall oven and just pulled it out to replace the light bulb socket and the broiler element.

Around the oven itself is fiberglass insulation to hold the heat.

My question is, can I replace the old fiberglass insulation with rockwool insulation? Or at the very least, add more fiberglass insulation?
