    Hmm. I leave laundry in mine all the time. Never had any mold or odor. I never leave the door open either.

    There is probably a database somewhere for your state that would have well records. Might be able to at least find out how deep it is and how much it produces. EDIT: Search | State of Florida Open Data

    The old wire should be fine. Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket swapping out the receptacles seems like a good option. The new panels will be the most expensive part but it will be a bigger upgrade than the outlets. Be sure to get a big enough panel to allow additional...

    I did some research last fall and wound up buying something called "30 second outdoor cleaner". Winter came early and I haven't actually used it yet but there's a lot of good reviews on YouTube. I'll post the results when I actually try it but you might check it out.

    Just get some of these. They will have them wherever you buy your pipe. In my experience knocking isn't that common but it's like $12 for a bag of 100 so just put them anyplace that it's handy, especially in places where the pipes are going to be sheet rocked over and inaccessible so you can't...

    Credit from nothing

    We did this last time we bought a pickup truck for the ranch, but not to build credit rating. They offered us a $1500 rebate for financing through ford. We financed $10k (the minimum) and payed it off 3 months later (also the minimum). We wound up paying about $90 in interest to get the rebate.

    You're also getting the money you would have paid to ship it. If you sell it for $4K and save $6K in trucking costs it makes more sense. You can probably get it moved cheaper than that but it would be easy to spend that much. There's also the question of whether your furniture is going to fit...

    Credit from nothing

    Everyone else has already said it but all you need to do is get a credit card, charge your bills to it, and have your bank auto pay it every month. I'm 43, haven't borrowed a penny or paid a cent of credit card interest since I was like 23. I have 2 cards that are auto-payed every month and...

    GFCIs would be much better protection than having grounded outlets. The only thing the ground is for is if you have an appliance with a metal chassis and the hot wire shorts to it the breaker will blow instead of leaving a 120V washing machine for you to get a shock from. It's good to have it...

    I agree 100%. I've eaten a fair amount of the black when the store was out of spicy and it's a poor substitute. But now you lost me. Are you leaving the water in the samyang? Because I think the regular samyang hot chicken is hotter than the shin spicy, let alone the 2x.

    If anything PVC is more toxic than Pex, not that either of them are especially toxic. Pex will release some VOCs when it's new, but after that it's one of the better types of plastic. If you're paranoid you can go copper, but some people are actually sensitive to copper. Also, you have to hope...

    I'm speculating here, but of the 4250 cases in SD, 3195 of them were from the county with the Smithfield pork slaughtering plant. I think there's 2 contributing factors there. 1) there's no 80 year olds at the packing plant. It's a hard physical job and the people doing it tend to be in...

    It's probably smart to turn down the flashy offer for a lower number with more guaranteed money. They say you should bet on yourself and for Richard Sherman with the 49ers I think it's worked out, but I don't know that it's a good plan for Dak.

    That's pretty cool. I guarantee no GE oven that's made in the last 10 years will still work 50 years from now. I personally think the fake stuff looks weird, but real wood is a lot of maintenance. My brother did a concrete deck with metal railings which is pretty much zero maintenance but...

    No reason for lower flow if you just use a bigger line for higher demand fixtures. Also, the fact that you don't need as many elbows somewhat cancels out the restrictions at the fittings.

    PVC doesn't cost more than pex really. It takes longer to install though, and is easier to fuck up. You can make it look nicer because it goes in straight lines, but in some ways that's bad for the customer (more elbows, longer runs because you can't go places diagonally, so you have to run...

    Plumbers don't like pex because it's so easy to use that people do it themselves instead of paying plumbers. The real old school plumbers swear that only copper is acceptable because they can really charge for that shit. If water restriction is an issue, just use a 3/4" line. The numbers in...

    I love pex, and I would never pay a plumber to install it because it's so easy to use. I re-plumbed my whole house with it in a day and a half for about $500. Why do you need to re-pipe the cabin? Pex has an added benefit for a cabin because if a heater fails while you're gone and things...
