I’d tell them about a lawyer who’s really good at picking locks.

reddit is so weird. can't have one spot for this because that would make sense. no we need 5 different subreddits that all overlap and are all about the same thing but if you post in the wrong one you're going to get dogpiled

Like add trim ontop of the skirt board. So it runs down the stairs as well?

I think most people don’t read posts like “READ THIS BEFORE POSTING”, like the current pinned post in r/locksmith.
Maybe something like “go to r/AskALocksmith to ask for help” would work better as a post title, as it’s straight to the point ant more people can see it right away.

Reply to comment by Hopeful--Spring in Do I need an expansion joint here? by blackhatrob
It’s not large enough to be necessary by code here, and I’ve not seen professional companies use anything when I’ve had larger patios poured in the past either so I was scratching my head.

Thanks for this
Was planning to contact the soil, add 2-3” of gravel, then compact again before pouring. I’m thinking the felt paper may be the best material for me as the hose slab has some decent chunks of concrete that came through the underside of their forms that I’ll be pouring over. The paper would let me wrap around that as opposed to a fiber board.

I mean, slime molds were actually classified as fungi once, and most people don't keep up with classification changes, so that's totally understandable. Not to mention they are still commonly referred to as "mold", and not just in English.

The problem is people refusing to read the rules of a sub before posting.

If it were me, I think I'd follow the angle of the skirt board up to the top of the trim board, so you have a continuous line from the skirt to the base.

Hi there, I’m currently making decorative Color changing potions for my fantasy book shelf. Made with isopropyl alcohol with food colouring and mica powder.
I really wanted to make a white liquid red powder potion but my white food colouring Fades after a day or two and the alcohol becomes clear again (while ALL the other colours work perfectly fine and don’t fade at all)
I’ve tried water colour paint and acrylic paint as well, but neither of those worked well with the mica. Does anyone know any other paint mediums with which I could colour isopropyl alcohol permanently? I wondered if alcohol ink would work but buying a singular bottle of white for just one potion is kinda expensive (since Im not selling them) Any ideas?

So funny though right! Breaking a rule in one sub while trying to keep people from doing so in your own. These subreddit rules are like HOAs.
Please read the following 35000 rules and sub-rules to see if you qualify to comment on this comment....
Also in your defense, you didn't read the rules.
Rules.

Reply to comment by robosmrf in Adding a new outlet box inside new cabinets by mattborn77
No, not the electrical box. I am imagining a larger hole so he can cut a hole for the box in the sheetrock. Rather than just leaving the gap between the cabinet back and the wall open for critters and bugs seal that 1 inch space. The hole is already too big to have an outlet cover with extension cover it.

Reply to comment by zoochadookdook in Looking for dimmable light strand to work with lumitron caseta dimmer (old wire was fried) by [deleted]
Those look like the current Lutron Caseta smart switches, which are LED compatible and according to manufacturer site may be compatible with low voltage lighting. Is it possible, and no offense intended here, that you're using the dimming buttons vs on/off buttons (the top and bottom ones)?
On the lighting... Those look very much like regular old rope lights which can be found on Amazon for about $1/ft

I also use a brick as my primary bypass method. I just can't afford the ATF tax stamps on the mortars...

Reply to Do I need an expansion joint here? by blackhatrob
I don’t know if this is applicable to your case, but I would recommend looking up the local building codes. Expansion joints usually have to be done when a certain amount of feet of concrete has been poured, so you might need one even for such a small slab.
Also, make sure you’re not pouring directly against the foundation. If it’s poured too close, it can cause a lot of problems. You should create a gap between the slab and the foundation, then fill it with some type of filler material.

That's the problem. It should be the top bar.

I once had a job delivering pizzas, and a regular customer of ours was a prosthetics shop called Breaky Prosthetics; which I found hilarious in and of itself.
Anyhoo, I made regular deliveries there, maybe once a week, for a couple of months before it happened, the moment I had been waiting for.
I arrived with the order, and the receptionist asked me how much it was. My reply?
"An arm and a leg!"
They were not amused, but that is still among my proudest irl joke moments
