Well, mine actually looks a lot like OP's, but more spiderwebs.

I used comfort-therm wrapped insulation and would likely never use anything else (unless I was blowing it into an attic or something). Almost no itchiness and FAR less airborne fibers.

Most food is not allowed to be brought in, especially meat.
Search for meat products: "Fresh, dried, and cured meats (such as hams and sausages) are not permitted."

Try it on an international flight (to Canada for instance) and expect a world of pain.

Reply to Bathroom fan replacement question by Zeno_Fobya
Absolutely. They almost certainly make the inside part just for that fan, for that purpose. I've done it before. SO MUCH easier than swapping out the whole unit with a new one.
Even if you can't find the correct replacement, you can also likely find a universal motor/fan you can mount in the existing piece.

Reply to TIL after a seizure left him paralyzed except for his left eyelid, Jean-Dominique Bauby (1952-1997) wrote the bestselling book "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by blinking to select each letter as an assistant recited the alphabet to him. by chumloadio
> She recited the alphabet until Bauby blinked at the correct letter, and recorded the 130-page manuscript letter by letter over the course of two months, working three hours a day, seven days a week.
I bet they also developed some shortcuts, too, like when the next word would be obvious: "Is the next word 'the'?" or a character name. "She asked Gwe..." "So, Gwendolyn, right?"

Reply to comment by jlanger23 in How do I safely plug in outdoor lights during winter? by [deleted]
I have one for the market lights over my patio. Currently, set for dusk to six hours later, in the summer, it's dusk to four hours later. It also has a remote to override the on or off at any time. I love it.
brock_lee t1_iw2p1qt wrote
Depends on the lights, but most strings can daisy chain together. They also make weather proof extension cords with a few outlets on the end, as well as weatherproof power strips. But as an exterior illumination veteran, I think you can likely do what you want without a power strip.
Also a suggestion I'd have is look into a "dusk to dawn" xmas light controller. They are cheap and can turn the lights on at dusk, and off at any number of hours later, or it can just wait until dawn to turn them off. I have a few and love them.

Reply to Electric water heater for outdoor shop, supply with garden hose. Any concerns? by syncopator
You will get so tired of connecting and disconnecting a hose everyday, that you won't do it, and that one day it's going to freeze, and you're going to have a nasty flood. Just don't do it. There are so many issues here, like why do you need a hot water heater in your shop, versus running a hot water line out to the shop? But the problem there is regardless of what you do, you're going to go a while without using the hot water, or the hot water heater in the shop, and it's going to freeze, and it's going to break, and it's going to leak and cause a flood. Just don't do it.
If I were considering this, what I would do is I would run a hot water line to a frost-free spigot on your house, and then if I want hot water in the garage or shop I would run a hose out there, and when I turn on the hose in a few minutes I'm going to have hot water. When I turn off the hose and disconnect it, everything's fine. If I turn off the hose and forget to disconnect it, the frost-free spigot is still going to save my ass.

Reply to comment by trekkerscout in Is there a no screwing / drilling lock that locks/unlocks from inside and outside? by xQueenAurorax
Don't know if there is anything like it still made, but way back when, there was the Weiserbolt, a doorknob that could extend into a deadbolt.

OP, maybe you could find one on Ebay and, as suggested, replace the lockset with it.

You could also buy yeast cakes that had a "warning" that said something like "DO NOT mix this yeast with two gallons of grape juice and allow to sit at room temperature in a vented container for four weeks, or an illegal beverage will result."

GFCI circuits are not usually connected to lighting circuits. This is why you usually find that bathroom and kitchen outlets, but not lights, are on the same circuit. This is not universal. I would suspect either there really is a breaker tripped, the breaker is defective, or perhaps there is a loose connection somewhere in the lighting circuit. I literally just had this happen. My living room ceiling fan just stopped working after years and years. The circuit it's on is fine. I traced it to a junction box in the attic, that runs to the fan, where the power wires had come undone from the wire nut. Go figure.

Reply to 2 different dryers that do not heat by malisam
Since gas and electric heat in entirely different ways, the reasons they are not heating are unrelated. For the gas dryer, well, we have no history, so it could just have been dead. The electric dryer probably got damaged in transport, OR the new electric was not hooked up properly. It is possible, although unlikely, to install a 240v outlet improperly, so that the dryer runs but won't heat.

Agreed. My 8x12 shed came primed, and with a gallon, was able to coat the entire shed with one coat and the the two sides I can see from the house with a second coat. :)
