I've done more 30 minute - an HR maintenance things in a month than I've done in 10 years. I keep telling myself I'll not do thst on my new house. For those ppl selling a house and needing to buy a next... I'm doing that now. Basically what I was told. House isn't on the market, almost no one will accept your offer. On market, still rare. Under contract you got a stew going and ppl will accept your sell contingency Under Contract and out of contingency period you're essentially as good as gold. Two houses I like, by the same builder are willing to take a kick out clause. Meaning they'll accept our offer but can kick us out of we don't have our house under contract. This process has been a real bitch and stressful
It is a little button on the bottom. Just pretend you are trying to get to 3rd base for the first time and fumble around on the bottom of it. This is a job that could be accomplished near black out.
My wife broke a diverter shower handle and this has somehow evolved to me replacing the entire shower valve. I got a Moen and should have good access on the backside of the wall as it’s in a closet. Anything I should be aware of?
Cut out an old tree and threw in a new Christmas tree palm.... and threw down a shit ton of mulch. wife wanted the black mulch this time, not sure I’m liking it.
Also, if you’ve got to sweat something on you need to make sure you get your pipes bone dry. Nothing more frustrating than trying to solder with water around.
Yea soldering is very difficult first time through. It’s just not a comfortable thing to play with a torch when you’ve never done it before.
Try that, also it could just be jammed. On the bottom of the disposal, you can turn the disposal manually with an allen wrench. Sometimes it just has to work its way through something big and you can free it up by manually rotating it.
Disposal is no longer jammed. But now it is leaking from the bottom. only When it run tho. So it still needs to be replaced
So my only issue is that I don't know where the wire goes. Seems like most are plugged in and I can't find if it's plugged somewhere or hard wired Probs have to pay someone
It’s hardwired to the disposal. It’s really easy to do yourself. It’s literally twisting and untwisting wires together
That's kinda what I was hoping but the wires are inside the disposal. So I gotta take a panel off somehow
It's more I haven't tried yet. I've changed electrical shit, shocked myself a few times, but got it done
It was exhausting but all good. It was tight working in a hand hole, probably took 4 hours just to get the old valve and pipes out. We put some tin down when soldering to protect the wood. The previous plumber left behind some char marks for us to keep us honest.
The panel is generally on the bottom and held by one screw. You take it off and disconnect the wire nuts and reconnect the wires to the new disposal. Just make sure you turn the power off to the disposal before you start.
We all are peer pressuring WED to change his own garbage disposal and he’s going to electrocute himself doing it. Lol.
WED don’t worry about the breaker box. Just disconnect the wires but make sure you’re standing in a very large metal bucket filled with water before you start working for safety.
Have a very interested buyer after an open house this weekend. Please pray for WED that we get a decent offer and I'll hopefully be off to a new constitution house with no issues. I did walk through a dope ass 3,800 1970s new England style house that needs some light updates. Wife has no vision and wasn't down
Are you in Atlanta? what parts? My brother and his wife moved from renting in the city up to Roswell and they love it. But they both work up there so it works great for them.
I've been in Kirkwood for a little over 10 years. Ideally saying here or east lake. The house I looked at this weekend was Sandy Springs. Down Peachtree Dunwoody about about a mile or so south of Northside Hospital. Real nice. Over looks a creek in the back yard and a bunch of undevelopable land. Painting some bathroom cabinets white and new counter tops would mostly take care of the bathrooms. Hardwoods added upstairs vs carpet Knock down a wall or two to open the downstairs. Really all is needed. Wife is 5mo prego and doesn't want to do shit. But this stuff seems kinda easy. But it's been on thr market for 6 months and owner is old and wants out. Was his property then a rental for 10-15. He's over it. Could get it cheap then dump 50-60k into it and you're done. Have this massive house that's in a tranquil location. 5 min to buckhead Sandy Springs is a but north of where I wanna go, probably another issue.
Sandy Springs seems gross tho. Realtor said Public schools get a bad wrap bc they are diverse. Idk if I like these people around me. Additionally, I've always had grand plans to redo our house, but never did them bc we had no need to do it. No motivation bc we didn't know if we'd tear it down. Think she's worried about that happening
Baby WED will be here July 16th. Been on the wife for a high brotein diet so his muscles are fully developing
1200sqft 3/1 is not going to cut it anymore. Good bye sweet sweet disposable income and DTI ratio sub 10%
More lazy. I hate plumbing and electrical. This is both combined But we'd hire someone. Flush with cash after living through gentrification
That's how everyone lived in the 50s. Really wanted to smack the person hwo gave the feedback of "there's no wall for my flat-screen" I'm sorry dipshit. The architecture of post world War 2 bungalos didn't account for flat screen TVs 70 years later
