Mystery succulent plant
Comments (2)Definately a succulent (desert type plant) but one I'm not familiar with. However, treat it as such, give it plenty of sun and don't over water. Sorry, can't be of any further help....See MoreCraftsman Lawn Tractor MYSTERY Issue
Comments (11)Thank you, Mike, for that information. Yes, I also feel his diagnostic skills are lacking. He did replace the carbureter. Since he did that, now the mower won't start at all. He was trying to put the new one in and the plastic piece was not allowing the metal insert to stay in place right. I went in the house for a few minutes, and when I returned he told me he "found another carbureter to use instead since that piece seemed faulty". Now I'm wondering if he might have used it anyway, and maybe that's why the mower won't start now. The manual says the carbureter may be one reason a mower won't start. I have never heard of a "magneto grounding wire" before. Can you direct me to where that is located? Does anyone know if the fuel filter is supposed to fill up all the way with gas, or just be partially filled, when turning on the engine? See pic. Thank you again!

Comments (6)Lea, thanks for the pictures. I’m not sure I can tell you exactly what is causing this, but I would suspect one of two possible issues. One could be, that there is only one top plate on your wall and there is a splice near the end of your window header, allowing some flex in that location. The diagonal bracing ends in the same place and could be contributing too. The other possibility is that there is an air leak on that side of the window which also happens to be where a sheathing splice occurs. Because the outward movement happens during cold weather, I’m guessing this is most likely the case. Your sheathing looks like “intermediate” board or Built-Rite, a product that’s made up of pressed wood fibers, and expands when exposed to moisture. When it drys out, it doesn’t usually go back to its original size, but could soften enough to take the pressure off. I don’t think this is a structural problem to worry about, but air leaks do affect durability. The house has survived 70 years with this condition, I would learn to live with it and be careful with any energy upgrades that can create more indoor humidity or air pressures....See MoreLVP to avoid (read if considering Coretec or CaliBambo) and a mystery
Comments (244)We installed 2600 sf of Happy Feet Pinnacle LVP in our new build and am very happy with it. i had read through this group many times prior but decided with grown kids it was more important to us to have a matte look and low maintenance than risk wearing out our socks. I definitely prefer the feel of natural wood under bare feet but this LVP is not wearing out our socks or our bare feet. So far it feels like a great decision. interesting anecdotal observation - when in our old house, which had hardwood throughout, when we laid out various LVP samples and left them there for a week, our dog stated laying on the Happy Feet sample section. Never the other samples. 🤔...See MoreBob Davis
