    With the extra wax it can take time for the toilet to seat properly, so you can have movement, or a rock, or an uneven seal. If you're going with the thicker seal on a regular floor, find your two fattest friends, get them to sit together on the toilet, then jump up and down on top of them.

    I've heard that deep fried honey bees are pretty delicious. Especially if you eat them by the ten thousand. Marinated in garlic.

    That's helpful. I would say this: 1. If it were me, I'd get those stairs out, make it water tight, and replace with nice, easy to build wooden steps. 2. I don't think your problem is ground water. I am guessing it's more a grade issue. I think water must be moving toward your house, rather...

    That's too dang bad, man. If I had that, I'd look all over ebay and google to see if you can't find a replacement. Post your make and model, I'll give it a go.

    Mind if I ask what that cost you? The Bosch is about 2,400$, and that's just too much for me to justify spending on a dishwasher when I got one that works well for under 300$.

    I want to replace my dishwasher. It's noisy as a freaking train. It actually keeps me awake if it's running at night, and the cycle takes 3 hours to complete. Trouble is, it's pretty new, and gets the dishes really clean. I have friends that have a Bosch dishwasher. It's so quiet that it...

    Well, start simple, then. In the spring, dig around the foundation. Get a good foundation coating, back fill with gravel, top it off with soil. See what happens. Not expensive, and you can work a shovel and a roller. And it might be that easy to fix. That will at least help, and it might...

    Now that is curious. When it's not frozen, you should do some digging right outside where it is wet. If your hole fills with water, you've got a spring in a shitty spot. And in any case, digging is going to be necessary to find out where the water is coming from. And it doesn't have to be...

    Well, sorry, man. You're going to have to dig that crap out and do proper foundation prep to get that water to move where you want it to. Plus, if the wood is totally rotted, you'll likely want to replace that anyway, right?

    It's cold outside.

    It has been -30 for the last week. If you'd like to go outside, brush the snow off, and gather the lights in this weather, go for it. I'll wait until it's not so cold, not so pretty, and I want to. S'okay with you?

    That is, indeed, a problem. You may have to bust it up, and start over. Do you think you could get it to dry up if you ran some kind of really heavy duty fan directly at the wet spots for a few days? If so, you might do that, and then spray-apply something like this #1 Concrete Sealer |...

    Still Auburn's game to lose. Possession, field position, clock. All in their favour. Plus Florida State still isn't playing up to potential, even though they're currently winning.
