Not bad points.

This is why if I ever rent a property out I'm gonna make it clear my nail hole policy is: leave them to me to resolve and I won't make a fuss or threaten your security deposit as long as the holes are done reasonably for hanging normal objects.

I doubt I'm likely to possess a rental property ever though, so unlikely.

If all you're doing is filling the holes with a white colored gunk, why not use joint compound, which is the right stuff for the job?

If you're careful you can fill a hole without the sand/prime/paint steps just like toothpaste but you aren't leaving a silly mess for someone who comes later and wants it done right.

The dynamics get even better in the south, where we absolutely need air conditioning.

Heat pump water heater in the house means cheap hot water and free air conditioning.

I haven't picked one yet but it's coming soon, before summer!

I'd really like one I can duct to a external air supply/exhaust in the winter, I have yet to select a model.

I use that with my dimmers, but what I'd also like is to regrade the scale.

I use the app on my phone and have my lights set to minimum 20% on the low end trim thing, but I only really get dimming between say 50% and 20%, and the low 20%s are nice for night time, low light.

But it's fiddly when the bar has 20-100% on it, and you're only trying to use a tiny section of it.

I wish I could increase the size of each setting from 20-30 relative to the size of 70%-100%. 70% to 100% looks about the same without a light meter so the difference is relatively unimportant.

Shoe always looks better than quarter round imo.

Quarter round also takes up an annoying amount of space when you want to sit furniture flush against a wall.

Well you'd need a hammer drill for a center bit in stone/concrete. Just spinny would grind off the tip and you'd never sink in.

I could imagine some sort of complicated dual clutched system where the hole saw rides on a hammer drilling center bit, but that'd be a very specialized drill.

I've never seen a stone/concrete hole saw with a centering bit.

Is that a thing?

Also, plunge router for stone/concrete is sus.

You clearly didn't read the post they're discussing where Dmitry Medvedev tweeted that Elon would win the Presidency of a new GOP post-civil war state that will exist by the end of 2023.

Now who's ignorance is on public display?

Those appear to be Oneida sex cult spoons. I inherited a set, they're nice.

Yeah I could see that. Dude might need a retaining wall. Hard to say without understanding the soil around there.

I'm most familiar and by default think about the soil around home, thick Houston black gumbo. Clayey and dense, sticks to everything and holds stuff pretty well in general. Ideal type A example imo.

Type B or C yeah I could see that being iffy. I'd try drilling in post holes and filling them and connecting it to the footing or something I guess.

It could be settling, or it could be rolling over a firmer settled area. Digging a concrete bell bottom shape beneath it and filling it with concrete is a common way to increase the surface area of soil that the object is bearing on.

I had this done on a 20 ft freestanding brick wall.

They had 4 dudes dig three holes along the length of the side it was leaning toward, they dug beneath it a bit and started lifting it with bottle jacks. Once they got it where it needed to be they supported it with concrete cylinders, and excavated a large cavity to fill with concrete. They charged me 4k and were done in a day, so great deal for them, but I wasn't about to DIY that.

So the issue I think I see with your plan to push with a back hoe is you can't really apply force to the top of the column because the brick work will not work in tension, so you'd be in the state of having to lift it from beneath with the back hoe.

It could work but I feel like jacks would be more appropriate. Less error prone, you could easily fuck things up with a mistake on the back hoe.

Having seen it done on a 20 ft wall, I'd feel sorta comfortable doing it on a column. Seems less risky.

Realistically, the funeral home ought to have a few of each of the fancy coffins they offer and all the customers share/reuse them, wash the liners between funerals, but I think that overly engages people's squeamishness about corpses.

"Why is the children's playroom decorated like a funeral parlor?"

"Ah you see, it's a dual use room, we store the toys in the coffin when we aren't mourning in there!"

Just store the coffin in the attic with a realistic plastic skeleton inside for the time between funerals?

Hard to believe nobody has suggested Rubbermaid Brilliance, they're pretty great food containers. You have the option of plastic (high quality plastic btw), or glass. Very good reviews and win with America's Test Kitchen for a good number of marks. https://youtu.be/WprgFWLgguM?t=279

I've got a few of the $20ish dollar box which has 5 in it. Love em.
