The number of waifu mobiles you'll see will be higher than average.

You would put the waterproof membrane on top of the mortar bed after that is poured, if you were worried about the integrity of the shower pan, not directly on the shower pan.

No, shower pan membranes should go behind the cement board. The cement board should just stop above the finished floor height.

Pittsburgh federal court was pretty lenient. I had to show up, but was just like 'hey I need to travel for work' and was excused.

I've turned Pittsburgh basements into living space. It's brutal, expensive work but possible. You have to install perimeter drains/sumps, reroute the utilities into the joists, cut in egresses, demo the interior concrete slab and then dig until the floor is low enough. If the foundation is too shallow, then you have to underpin. Then you have to set new center supports and pour new foundations for those, pour a concrete slab, and waterproof.

All the food groups are there. If I remember one thing from elementary school, it's to eat all the food groups at a meal.

So is some of that southern moist air is smashing into the ridges in central PA? Is this why I have to prepare like I'm going on a trek to Siberia to make the 2-hr drive over the mountains to Penn State in the winter?

Spotlights are not the same as wafer lights. Either way you are looking for the IC stamp on the box.

Why would that matter? Anything rated for use in damp locations is going to be rated for insulation as well. Other than the logistics of not making a mess, there isn't going to be heat buildup.

LEDs have come pretty far. You can get transformerless nowadays. Also look at wafer lights. Basically cut the hole and clip it in.

The New Ken one has more entertainment though.

My understanding when I did it last June is nothing is email, phone, in-person anymore. It all had to be through the portal. If you're struggling in the portal, I recommend submitting a ticket through there so there is a paper trail.

In my opinion, unless you need to get into federal facilities, the $40 you would spend renewing the Real ID for 10 years is better spent put towards a passport.

I'm not in PennDOT, so I can't say for sure, but I think it's that no one thought about engineering. Those guys have the fancy offices downtown and in the surrounding towns and were all shut down pretty quick.

I stayed busy all through Covid, but actually go laid off last year because of the lettings all getting pushed. Engineering needed to be working on designs during Covid so that there were projects to bid, but they didn't so end of 2020 through 2021 barely had any lettings and they all got pushed to earlier this year.

Yeah, PennDOT just completely shut down during Covid. Restarting that animal took time so a lot of the lettings got bunched up.
