Other way around. If you’ve ever been through downtown Brownsville, it never looks this good. Most of the buildings are literally falling down. They had to demolish a few recently because they were falling on the street.

You can try any or all of them. Anything will help and more would be better.

Reply to Balcony door insulation by andisthisonetaken
Curtain and the clear plastic is a good combination. The clear plastic helps trap air in which works as a bit of insulation.
Clear bubble wrap on the windows will give some insulation and let light through, but you can’t see through it.
Is the door drafty or just conducting too much heat?

Reply to comment by tatpig in Water line from house to barn lost pressure! Please help!? by Castle_33_
Could be direct burial wire that’s not in a metal conduit.
Either way, at 6’ it’s kinda deep for poking the soil.

So the splices were part of the installation, not previous repairs? If the water is under the electric I wouldn’t go poking with metal rods.
Call your water company. They have listening devices that can hear water leaks underground. They may be able to help - but since it’s on your line, not theirs they may not be allowed to. If they can’t they can probably give you another company.
6’ is deep for a water line unless you have a really deep frost line.
dr_xenon t1_izesi85 wrote
Get a thin rod and start poking in the ground. If you find a really soft spot, that could be it.
If it already has 2 splices, it’s prone to breaking. Is it deep enough? Does heavy equipment go over it much? How old is it and what material is it? Maybe it’s just getting old and brittle. You fix one break and it may blow out the next weak spot.
How much water are you using in the barn? Maybe you can replace the whole thing with a spool of direct burial poly tubing.

McMaster has them for 2L or 3L belts which are 1/4” or 3/8”, with 5/16” bore.
Try part 6245k314 for example.

Reply to 8mm driveshaft to 1/2" bore pulley by Ag99JYD
I’m guessing this isn’t high speed or high precision movement.
8mm is 0.315”. 5/16” is 0.3125”. You could probably use a pulley with 5/16” bore and hit it with a 8mm drill bit. Set screw will take up the rest of the slop in it.
McMaster sells pulleys with 5/16” bore for under $20. Get the drill bit there too.

Reply to ELI5 why do things like drinks need food dye in them? Can’t we just leave out the dye since some cause health issues? by Ballisticpop34
Sales.
people like things better when they look nice. If all the drinks were basically clear, an orange crush would look the same as a sprite or a Mountain Dew.
Cars run the same regardless of the color, but customers want them to look nicer. Same concept.

It’s not your employer. It’s for customer accounts and stuff. They have no need for my actual birthdate so I always give a fake one.

Reply to comment by elysiansaurus in How to fix hole in plaster? by elysiansaurus
Looks like original rock lath. If that piece came off that easy, the rest of it is probably getting loose too. May want to find out why and fix it all instead of one piece.
You can either re-plaster it or fit a piece of drywall in there.

Price it higher than you want. You can always come down in price. People will usually try to talk you down in price.
Make it look good. A complete detailing may pay for itself and then some. If it doesn’t look good when they pull up, it’s already a bad first impression.
