I partially took my washing machine apart and saw how much filth built up in the drum. I had already run a cycle with vinegar and a separate cycle with bleach. I doubt you will be able to remove the thick biofilm on the drum without disassembly.
One day I'll get to it...

Reply to [OC] World's Largest Plastic Polluter Now 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference Sponsor by haboo213
From reading the source, it's hard to tell exactly what these values represent, but I think it's the amount of branded pieces of litter they found laying around. This does not seem like a good way of measuring the pollution caused by each company.
Edit: Also, this graph is just a compilation of graphs from the original source, just using lines instead of bars (which means it wrongly implies a trend between data points). Low effort and poor data visualization if you ask me, not to mention climate change and plastic litter being two separate things.

Keep in mind if you fail inspection, you just need to fix the issue and then get it re-inspected. Not a big deal.

OP - don't create some kind of Frankenstein post like this comment is describing. Either shim or replace, trying to splice the post will result in a failed inspection. Plus, it would look ridiculous.
Calling a shim a band-aid, while suggesting you hack together something that only looks like a 6x6, is hilarious.

Excess grout where the wall meets the ceiling? Or is that mold all over the place?

You're probably better off keeping the insulation from touching the roof sheathing.

I think OP is asking if it's okay to blow insulation all the way to the edges so it is in contact with the roof sheathing. They said there are no soffit vents, so it's not about venting, but about moisture being trapped against the sheathing.

What is the point of the lights? Aren't cats perfectly happy in the dark at night?
