Thanks for the detailed answer.

boiled linseed oil can combust in crumpled up rags because the curing process is exothermic - it makes heat. So a crumpled pile of paper or rags might insulate it enough for the heat buildup to reach the ignition point and FWOOSH! It's also an oxidation reaction, so yes, keeping it sealed up tight will negate that issue.

I can't find anything about what specific plastics you can store boiled linseed oil in, just be aware of what solvents and siccatives are used in the specific brand you're getting and make sure that they're safe for polypropylene and you'll probably be fine. I'd recommend storing them on a metal tray and inspect the plastic before use, just in case. Also UV can cause chemical changes in the boiled linseed oil, so you'll want to store them inside something light-proof anyway.

I have a geberit in wall toilet like yours, and when I added a bidet I had to plumb a new water supply line.

You can possibly make a T connection behind the flush actuator buttons, penetrant the cistern tank above the water level, and fish a water line down to bidet height, but it would be much much easier when installing the toilet.

Hey! So i live in an older house, and I wanted to replace my fridge. most of the ones I like don't quite fit in the space (they're a bit too tall) so I want to removed the shelves above the current fridge, but I can't for the life of me figure how how they're attached.

The back of the shelf is screwed in. There's a couple more screws at the very top as well (you can see one back top right of picture 2). Is it all just glued tongue and groove? Is there any way to take this out without just smashing it all with a hammer?

Do you have renters insurance lol

I would only do it after an engineer bought off in it and I’ll add an electrical sub panel without getting a permit so it isn’t like I’m mr rule follower

When new terrazzo is polished by grinding it down. Call the professional before you get too involved and ask his opinion on how to approach

There are many companies that specialize in fireplace installation. Plumbers can move the gas lines, replace valves etc... but the fireplace company can provide you with the appropriate equipment and perform chimney/vent inspections (which is definitely a good idea with something that hasn't been used in a while).

What projector is it and what is the screen size you are aiming for?

This was definitely valuable info. Does this toilet have an access panel on either side of it?

I'm not really dicking around with gas. I'm looking for advice on how to order parts for a fireplace. I'm not going to pay someone to tell me what kind of fireplace I need to buy when someone on reddit can point me in the right direction. If it's more complicated than that, you should tell me why, otherwise I will just be guessing at what I'm doing. That is much more likely to cause the outcome you are concerned about.

If you look again at the panel you will probably find the neutral from the power company is grounded somehow. If it is NOT grounded at the panel, then that is a problem you should give to an electrician to fix.

Don't "ground" the neutral for this branch circuit. Neutrals should be grounded at the panel and only at the panel.

If you want to connect the bare copper ground wire to an actual ground, you can do that with a wire nut at one end and an appropriate ground clamp at the other end. The best place to ground the other end would be the existing ground rod for the service entrance panel. If that's too hard you can probably make do with a metal cold water pipe somewhere in the basement. You could even ground it to the existing metal box in the picture, but only if you are sure that it is grounded, too.

I would be wary of moving those open-air connections into a box. Old knob and tube splices stop working sometimes after you jiggle them too much. It might be better if you not touch them until they can be removed.

This is what I did. Probably wrong. But I used a short crowbar and popped them out. It takes patience, a bit of force, and you’ll figure out a technique once you get a few out. Broke concrete in places. Cleaned it up and used a small plastic tub of premixed concrete to fill it in with a puddy knife. Used an angle grinder with a diamond cup to smooth it out afterward. It was a process but smooth in the end and pretty cheap to do.

You call an hvac technician. No offense but you don't know what you're doing. You will likely kill people dicking around with gas.

I’m in cali not licensed for structural but you can stamp off as civil. Don’t practice anymore but these little ones were my fav side gigs. A little calc package with my stamp and leave me out of the other bs. the structural liability for this is low since it’s just gravity.

It’s ridiculous. The comments here are so far off from reality. And decent framing carpenter could knock this out in a day and it would have no effect on the structural integrity of the home.

I agree though that it’s not very practical to be installing such a projector.

Jesus the structural engineers must have a smile on their face when people want to call them for every little project. I’m an engineer, but not licensed for structural. Sure wish I was. This is an easy fix and one that in the past was done by a carpenter. No need to over think this.

Don't
