What’s the best way to reattach a section of drywall in the ceiling that doesn’t span between joists? Backing it with wood is effective, but it feels a bit rude for whoever might need to cut it again in the future. Is it possible to secure it safely using just tape? One thing I’ve learned for...

I just pressed new bearings on the motor and installed new brushes in my old Frigidaire dishwasher. I still have all the appliances I had when I started the thread.

A new high-beam offender is Tesla, which is especially upsetting since they’re supposed to be self-driving soon, yet they still cruise with high beams on. Teslas come with auto-off high beams, so the drivers must go out of their way to be extra obnoxious by keeping them on. I flash them and then...

Just dropping by to say thanks for the help I got in this thread as I am coming to my 2 year anniversary of buying my first house. It was a super stressful time and I got a lot of help and guidance from here. Thanks.

I get it but the judicial system needs to be held accountable for the retreat offenders. I don't want the consequences to come from meat head officers. Is a beat down even an effective deterrent?

Wait what? Police brutality is what kept the crime rate low?

I fixed a bunch of top boxes with g-flex epoxy. My understanding is the CT stuff isn't really epoxy it's polyester resin. If you look you can find the g-flex cheaper at marine stores. G-flex has a longer working time than that CT stuff. Many older Thule boxes cracked where the mounting mechanism...

Purified urine is better than sex changing hormones they force on kids!

^ nukes might be the worst case scenario, but Trudeau winning is a close second and we have to get ready for that.

Just going to put this out there https://nypost.com/2023/07/28/family-who-died-off-grid-only-watched-youtube-to-prepare/ Don't go too hardcore on their first trip.

Who handles warranty? The store or do they just direct the buyer to deal with the manufacturer? Trail appliances isn't that far. A 40 minute drive... is usually 40 minutes. Our current Frigidaire fridge is still decent. The only problem we are having is that food keeps getting moldy in it. It...

There have been several cases where vehicles have been tracked with airtags, yet no action has been taken. Jurisdictional issues often hinder action, and apathy prevails. We need something like the FBI to do a nationwide cleanup, addressing everything from car theft rings to political...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am in Squamish , BC ;) I think I will keep an eye out for used Bosch.

I'm in the market for a new refrigerator to replace my 30" model. I'm not particularly interested in smart features, screens, mood lighting, or water dispensers. What I really need are strong shelves and sliding mechanisms that can withstand my wife's abusive style in the kitchen. I tend to do...

Thanks for the tip Lyndsay. If anyone is headed to Whistler I can provide samples ;). PM me, I don't check around here that often.

This was my first time. I wanted a snack for mountaineering so salty and carbs are good. For 1 kg of eye round I started with this recipe. 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar 1 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon unseasoned meat tenderizer...

Mine has 4 hours to go. Eye round. I used black strap molasses instead of sugar.

I need to soundproof a wall that runs alongside the stairs. I suspect that noise is transferring through the wall because the electrical panel is on the other side of it. There might not be any insulation between the wall and the electrical panel. My plan is to use sonopan with drywall on top...

I giggle at people that buy "natural", "clean", "no chemicals" soaps for $$$. Soap needs lye.

Ops my bad. I thought the link was non paywalled with links to the podcast on all the podcast services. Search for: Odd Lots Isabella Weber on the Big Rethink of Inflation...
