Luckily it seems they didn't touch the actual plumbing too much, but the aesthetic things around the plumbing. Like the tile around the shower faucet handle was done poorly and there's gaps that need filling in. Or behind one remodeled sink they cut a huge hole in the drywall that's almost star shaped somehow. But the plumbing connections at least seem to be done correctly.

Good tips for the tools. I'm lucky enough to live by a tool library so I'm checking there for anything I don't have and I'll only use it once or twice.

Thanks for the advice! I imagine I'll get a better idea on what to scrap and start over after a few fixes. But I'll try and keep this in mind when planning. And double thanks for the channel recommendations! Looks like a lot of good content to binge :)

I suppose you're right. Plus there will be more content on Lemmy which is always good! Thanks!

 

First time homeowner here. The house was previously owned by an investment firm who cut a lot of corners on renovations at some point. Does anyone have a good resource for fixing botch jobs? A lot of tutorials cover fixing or replacing things that were done properly before hand, and I don't want to spam forums with "How the he'll do I fix this monstrosity??"

We were thinking about that, but our yard is a bit complex with shape and existing features and would prefer a professional to help us think of any potential problems we'd run into.

Architect! That sounds more like what I'm wanting. I'll search around for one, thanks!

 

My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

Fantastic movie. I went in without knowing anything other than "People said it was good", and I was blown away.

This post made me try again to find a solution, and maybe a USB extension cord with a on/off switch could work. It's not automated but would be more convenient than removing the dongle each time. I'm thinking something like this

I have this exact same problem, but with a Chevy bolt. Some cars USB ports are "always on" and some aren't. Might be worth trying different ones and see if there's a port that doesn't power on randomly. This didn't work on my car, but it's a common solution I came across when I was trying to figure it out. For now, I've just reverted back to wired AA.

They should use Lithium Iron batteries for a real LiFe pro tip

The yacht was a bad example. What I'm getting at is that not hating something is not the same as supporting it. I don't support Dave doing this, but I don't hate him for doing it either.

Yeah, I can see how it could be seen that way. I'm thinking more along the lines of "Dave performs for money. Someone wants to pay a lot of money for a special performance, and it doesn't affect any of his other shows so of course he would do it". IMO what Dave did isn't unethical, but I can see how it could be seen that way. But I also think if the article was "Amazon Execs bought a multi million dollar yacht after massive layoffs", no one would be blaming the yacht manufacturer. Just the execs.

 

My coiled cable likes to rotate which makes the coil messy. This little 3d print I made keeps it nice and tidy. Hope it helps anyone with similar issues. You can find the files here: https://www.printables.com/model/433584-coiled-cable-lockaligner

 

Looking for recommendations on a streaming box to connect my TV to plex. I have a lot of 4k blu ray rips averaging 80-100mbps and I'm struggling to find a client that can handle it. First I had a Roku, which had network bandwidth issues. So I moved to the new fire stick 4k max, which still buffers like crazy. I don't think its network related because its pulling 500mbps down, and my laptop (which pulls 300 down) can stream it just fine. So any recommendations on a tv streaming box? I've seen the Nvidia shield, and the Mecool KM2 plus deluxe but want to get some opinions before buying anything. Thanks!
