Reply to comment by DrHugh in Can I run a water line for a fridge off a washer dryer hook up? by SpicyyySalsaaa
Might not be up to code, but when was the building inspector came to your house to check your inside water connections? If it works and does not contaminate any other water in the house, what is the problem. You can bring it up to code when you have other work done that needs inspection, or when you go to sell - or not. Easy way to bring up to code is to just disconnect the splitter and hose from the fridge. Is there any code that says your fridge has to be connected to water?

Will those solar panels ever produce enough electricity to produce the steel needed to build the supports? If not they are carbon positive (not in a good way) from the start.

Is the part you want to fill that little strip? Is the greyish thing at the top right of the photo a mat in front of your front door? I am assuming you are not talking about that ~2x6 foot planter area adjacent to the concrete, just the 4 inch wide strip directly in front of the gas meter?
If just the strip, pull out what is there - a claw hammer and hand trowel are probably all you need. Did it the same depth as the remaining concrete, put a board to form an edge at the end and mix and pour some concrete mix. Like one other poster said wrap the vertical gas line to separate it from concrete, even a few wraps of cardboard would do, it will rot away if you can't pull it out. I would put a 4 inch wide line of painters tape on each side of the trench to make it easier to do a clean pour.

If he is only filling the 4 inch wide strip that would be overkill.

Close the door and look at the gap at the top of your door. If it is not consistent, the proper fix is to remove the casing and reshim the door so that gap is even. If it an apartment that should be the owners fix not yours.

Reply to comment by YaBoyDaveee in help with shower handle? by YaBoyDaveee
When I had to replace mine I bought a new set of Allen wrenches at HF because I needed longer ones. One was too small, another too big, the one in between didn't work either. Then I compared the long one to the short one in the same set and it was a different size! If there is an Allen set screw on your handle one size will fit it if it is made properly. I have mine set all the way to hot, my water heater only goes to 140, in winter I turn it full hot until it is hot to save water, then adjust and step in.

Reply to ELI5: Morse code is made up of dots and dashes. How did telegraph operators keep from losing track of where one letter ended and another began? by copperdomebodhi
My uncle was a Morse code operator in WWII. He told me he could send and receive at the same time.
Also during WWII there were Allied coders who could recognize the signature cadence of Nazi operators so they could tell when certain units had moved from one location to another.

If you wash something heavy like towels or a blanket, it can definitely move at least a couple of feet.

You brother did contribute to this accident by not having brake lights on, no flashers. Was he not aware he was the last in line?

More importantly, if you are the last car in line when you come to a stop flash your brake lights several times or put on your flashers. If the car behind you is 50 car lengths back and you just have steady brake lights they might not realize you are stopped especially if the sun is at a bad angle. Do what you can to get their attention.

Replace the cord. Lots of good advice here, but one I didn't see mentioned, a washing machine moves a lot, that will be transferred to the cord. Sometimes the load will shift and the washer will "walk" several feet, putting lots of stress on the cord. You don't want the weak point to be the plug end you put on, you want the cord to pull out of the wall if the washer walks that far.

Have you tried draining and flushing it? If the burner is running, maybe there is major sediment at the bottom not allowing heat to get to the water.

Either use a utility knife to cut in middle of studs and drywall saw to cut the horizontals or use the drywall saw to cut a 1x1 foot hole with a bevel so the cut out piece is easily replaced. Bevel it so the saw tip point towards center of square, put a screw in the center first so you don't lose the whole thing inside the wall.
