Reply to How will the right-winged lunatic community cope when the leaked photos of their daddyJordan Peterson come out of him wearing a dress, with heals, makeup and a big set of cups? by [deleted]
When the pictures of Rudy Giuliani in a dress showed up, no one gave a shit.
When the pictures of Madison Cawthorn showed up of him in women's underwear [and naked with a man], no one gave a shit.
When pictures of George Santos in drag showed up, no one gave a shit.
So, I will assume none of them will ever give a shit if pictures of one of their own show up in a dress.

OP should also be able to confirm this by removing the bulb. There should then be no voltage detected on the switch wire, regardless of on or off position.

Stud on one side and an anchors on the other is quite common, and safe. At least half of the weight is held by the cabinets above, and then at least half of the remainder is carried by the one stud.

Well, if the whole roof is off, I can see that. But along both lengths, you can see both differences in the fascia and shingles that you can see, which is why it appears to slope.
If it doesn't slope, OP, you can just remove and redo it.

From the images, it looks like the gutters are sloped properly, from "right to left" and around the corner. I believe you, but I don't see why it would pool there. I can understand why it would leak in the corner if the piece is not sealed properly, tho.

I've seen several times, too, when they are building a new neighborhood around here they dig a pit and put up a sign saying "concrete washout". They wash out concrete mixers, dump concrete rubble, etc. They then cover this it and it gets paved over as a road or made into a lawn in a common area or something.

It looks like the nut you removed between 1 and 2 was a compression fitting, so the broken "chrome" piece should just slide easily out toward you. And when I say easily out, I mean you should be able to grab it with a pipe wrench or strap wrench and twist it to free it up, and then twist while pulling out with great difficulty. If it's a standard size, a new pipe with compression fitting should slide it once you clean up the opening a little.

Reply to comment by Kolada in Washer not draining after supply line burst by Kolada
I should have been more clear, too. It is a common issue where that tube gets clogged, and the washer can't tell if there is water in the tub, so shuts down, leaves the tub full, and won't spin or drain. I replaced my washer recently, but I had to do the clearing of this tube maybe four times over the years. Again, I don't think it's likely here, but worth a shot. You may even see something when the washer is open.

Reply to Washer not draining after supply line burst by Kolada
Was the pump submerged or otherwise well-soaked? That would probably do it.
There are some videos on youtube on how to clear gunk out of the hose for the water-level pressure switch, it's really easy, but I would question whether that was the issue here. But, totally worth it since it's easy and costs nothing.
Even for non-GE washers, this is relevant and should be easy to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oosLzA9duzE
And in that video, he replaces it, but you really only have to disconnect the hose at the bottom, and use some kind of slim tool to scoop out the soapy lint.

Reply to What's wrong with my washer??? by bobpool86
Very first thing, ensure the water supply shutoff knobs are fully open. Could be the electric valve(s) inside that are stuck mostly closed. They are not terribly complicated and a fairly easy replacement if it comes to that. When you remove the supply hoses from the washer, you will see screens on the washer side, that may be clogged with sediment or mineral buildup. You can see the screens here: https://i.imgur.com/5cGwJj6.jpg
Finally, it may just be how it is. I replaced my washer a few months ago, and the old one worked, but had always filled very slowly.

Can't you just replace your hinges with a pair you can buy? You can find sets all over the internet. Do you have a picture that can show why that set is different?

Do you notice any difference between any of the holes during a flush? Like, some don't "work", maybe indicating some kind of blockage?

I hate produced intros. I like when people skip "boring" process. If you say "now I will cut this out with scissors", show the start and end and any tips for odd things along the way, but don't make me watch two minutes of cutting out a shape. I watch a lot of easy recipe videos that are 9 minutes and can be 3 or 4.

How does it leak? My shower head drips from the ball joint about once per second when taking a shower. I don't even worry about it, since there's a bunch of water flying around already :)

Reply to comment by Baldar538 in How do I ground new outlet run from here? by Baldar538
For the wiring, yes. That is correct.
If you are showing a ground on the existing outlet with your tester, it just gets its ground from the box. It isn't necessary, but it would be more clear to the next person if you connected a short pigtail ground wire from the box to the current outlet's ground screw.

Reply to How do I ground new outlet run from here? by Baldar538
If I understand correctly, and the new wire is to run out of the existing metal box, to another outlet "downstream", you would just connect the new green ground wire to the box since the box is grounded and the existing outlet picks up the ground via its attachment to the box.
