No to which question? LOL
No, you cannot confirm I won't die? No, I cannot test it like that?
Can you confirm a safe way for me to test to find the positive & negative wires?

Reply to [Question] will DIY popcorn ceiling removal tactics work as well on daybed in plaster? by kharmatika
I am SO glad you posted this, I have the same texture in a bathroom, of all places! I thought it was called popcorn, because I hadn't found any other good matches when I searched it. I should still get it checked for asbestos, I guess, but good to know it's easier to get rid of than popcorn if it's not.

Thank you. If I'm being perfectly honest, this still needs more work. Some strands need fine trimming and some bits of fabric are hanging down from the headliner, giving it a very rough look in the daylight. Maybe someday I'll make it perfect, but for now I'm pretty happy.

But my schedule is so busy that I simply have to pre boil some then freeze it for meals later…

A headliner is the fabric in the interior or your vehicle on your roof. Googling "starlight headliner" I'd imagine would bear some comprehensive results

That's a great idea that I'll try to remember for my next place. Thanks

I think it's yours, everyone else can see them just fine. The headliner is the fabric ceiling in your car.

I actually love that idea, but I've already bought everything

It is a concern, but only time will tell. I live in GA, and the car is black so that's not a good combo. It's never been unbearably hot inside even after being in the sun all day though.

Thank you. There's no water on that side of the building so that's not a concern. I think the metal stud idea might be right. Is it safe to try to make the hole deeper or should I abandon these holes?

Aren't you worried about that melting on a hot day? I grew up in Las Vegas where a bic pen left in your car in the summer will turn into a wet noodle.

I don't know what a headliner is, and for some reason none of your pics are showing up for me, so I still don't. I don't know if the problem is on my end or yours.

I flew in a Emirates 777 I think it was a few years ago which had a beautiful starry ceiling. I've often thought about doing something similar. Your work certainly looks amazing and something you can't really take shortcuts on to get a good effect. (I did find a laser version but it bounces around and doesn't cover the whole ceiling).

Reply to Totally locked garbage disposal by Homebridge
Like mentioned, replacing a garbage disposal is easy. However, they're probably about $100 at least.
If it is badly jammed, I have fixed mine by throwing it upside down outside on the driveway. Just gentle drops to dislodge any objects in the garbage disposal. But I would put a new one in even if you are able to fix your old one

Those are cool. The pics look great.
Those are neat since the first time I saw them on a rolls royce, too. On snapchat.

Reply to Parking in Unfinished Basement by DirtyScoobie
Wait until you hear what concrete goes through when it's outside, like a road, driveway, culvert, wall, building etc etc. It's fine.

Reply to Can you confirm this won't kill me PLEASE? by JenBcute
That's how I do it it's 12v you will be fine. Only issue is if there is some kind of dead short in the powersuply and you get 230v though the wires but I highly doubt that would happen. If your that worried about it see if you can get alligator clips for your multi meter. Or some other way of testing it without actually touching the wires.
