I was talking about the phone experience. Which is identical whether it's a regular video or short. Both would be in portrait and require to press a button to read comments

To be fair, assuming you made an honest mistake and get actually lost, ending up driving down a military road...I don't think having a fighter jet kick up dust is explaining the circumstances very well....
Just seems like a helicopter or jeep with megaphone telling you to turn around might get the message across in a less panic inducing way

Just fyi, when splicing Romex with wire nuts, you're supposed to twist it until the insulated part of the wire pair starts to twist as well. That neutral wire doesn't look like it got twisted enough

Top or front loader? Front loaders typically have a little "gate" inside the detergent compartment that determines how fast the water flows through it/trickles down into the drum.

Only if you run it on cold or on hot as well? Somewhat unlikely that both supply lines experience issues at the same time

Reply to How should I go about fixing two switches that don’t work in my bathroom? by Most_Adhesiveness_73
Sometimes the breaker doesn't fully trip. To reset, you have to manually flip it and return to normal.
If it's not the breaker at the panel, look for a GFCI outlet on the line or trace the wires until you find the issue

Reply to Doorframe splitting apart, how to fix? by Makimba222
It's just the trim not being flush. You could try closing the gap by nailing it tighter. If that doesn't work or you lack the tools, you could simply run a bead of caulking and hide it.

Reply to Hanging 15 lbs child from a 1x6 over head. Which supports more downward force - screwing horizontally into the 1” edge, or vertically straight up into the 6” face? by Jolly-Performer
Properly installed, either horizontal or vertical should hold 15 lbs no problem, however horizontal would be stronger.
Don't screw into just the 1x6, if anything you need to drill through the jamb and screw directly into structure inside the wall.
This boils down to...what is easier to patch in a year - a hole in the drywall o a hole in the top jamb?
That opening definitely has some header above it. Either drill a lag bolt through the top jamb into the header or through the face of the wall into the header. Make sure the bolt is at least 1 inch deep into the header.

Reply to Can't use traditional roof tiles by Manic40
Can you still beef up the structure or is it too late? I would look into a metal roof that closely matches your existing tiles

ToolMeister t1_j1zcde6 wrote
Not uncommon, as you said it's called a farmhouse sink, full countertop depth. The sink would have a cutout for a faucet in the back typically.
Edit: Many farmhouse sinks are white porcelain. While they certainly look nice, I would personally recommend to stay away from porcelain. Stains too easily and you have to be careful not to drop a heavy pot or pan.

Sounds likely if you only have four conductors plus ground inside the switch box.

4 wires just connected to two switches? Then it gets power from the fixture, not at the switch box

Reply to Bathroom Fan/ heater not working. by bwLearnsProgramming
You should have power at the switch at least, no matter whether the device is broken or not.
This leads me to believe the problem is upstream of the switch. If your switch doesn't have a neutral (only hot in, switched hot out) it likely gets power from the fan's electrical box.
Since you said the light fixture still works (combined in the fan?) your problem likely is located behind the fan or wherever it gets its power from.
Could be a loose wire nut, or a shorted/melted connection within the fixture. Take it down and inspect all connections.
Since you said the fan doesn't work even when connected to working power, that means it's definitely gone

Reply to comment by Hagisman in Shower head is leaking, how do I troubleshoot the issue? (My hypothesis as well) by Hagisman
How old is the shower? Cartridges don't last forever but can be replaced in a few minutes. Check the make and model of your shower valve. Moen for example gives a ten year warranty on their cartridge. Just contact customer service and they'll send you a new one free of charge.

If it is your first time working with armoured cable, don't forget to buy the matching red plastic bushings to protect the wire along with cable clamps/box connectors that can accept MC/AC90 wire

Reply to Hardwood Floor Sanding by dragthor
1982 is very unlikely that this is unfinished hardwood. No one in the 80s would have spent money on hardwood just to carpet it. Unlike the 1920s, plywood subfloors were already a thing in the 80s and would be what you find under carpet from that time.
More likely than not this is finished hardwood, just worn.

Reply to comment by HourOrganization4337 in doorknob is difficult to turn by HourOrganization4337
Now that it's taken apart, does the knob and spindle rotate without issues? If yes, then the latch is your problem. Next, see if the latch moves freely. If it doesn't, clean and re-lube. If both parts work good while taken apart, then the assembly on the door was the problem, i.e. mounted too tight/at an angle etc.

Might be badly/not at all insulated between the jamb and rough opening. If you can, pull one side of the casing and see if you have insulation. If not, spray foam it with low expansion foam.

A "mailbox type door" won't seal your container. The dog food will get stale and attract bugs. I'd suggest to save the building urge for another project and just go with a regular dog food container with a sealed lid

Not arguing that, but you wouldn't read the comments while watching in landscape on your phone either since that's not even possible
