    Plugging up a hole (tunnel) under a driveway?

    That was my initial thought as well that it was the remnant of some previous project that never got finished. I'm at work now and don't have the pipe in front of me, may have disposed of it anyway. I believe it was between 1/4 and 1/2 inch ID at most. I don't think the problem is so much of the...

    Plugging up a hole (tunnel) under a driveway?

    Pardon the ignorance but I don't see how the piping would serve any sort of function and I've never found any otherpipes anywhere else around the house the perimeter of the house to indicate it was part of an intended system, only right underneath the driveway. I also fail to see how the pipe...

    Plugging up a hole (tunnel) under a driveway?

    How can I plug up a hole that goes the entire width of my driveway and allows water/moisture to move across (beneath) the driveway? So a few months ago I did some digging work in the front yard found an old beat up PVC pipe that ran below the driveway. The pipe was as long as the width of the...

    Mattress shopping .....

    Bought a mattress about 2 years ago. Felt great in the store. Brought it home and quickly began realizing it is way too soft with hardly any support. Laying on it sinks it in pretty deep. Sitting on the edge it will collapse on itself entirely. One of the worst purchases I've made to date.

    Question regarding coming to a stop at stop signs.

    Interesting that quite a few people have completely misunderstood my question and are being sarcastic in their responses, saying common sense to stop at stop signs and things of the like. I will not attempt to clarify because past experience leads me to believe that further confuses people. In...

    Question regarding coming to a stop at stop signs.

    I just wanted other people's opinion and perhaps experience on this. Let's assume I'm in traffic coming up to a stop sign. There's bound to be someone whose car stops after the white marking, or someone that stops at the white marking but inches up until they're completely passed it. The...

    What disturbs/angers you while driving?

    Have a family member who I absolutely hate being in passenger's seat when they drive. Can't keep steady pressure on gas pedal. It's a constant game of pressing and letting go, pressing again, letting go again. Makes me feel nauseous. I don't understand it. I can't say for sure if this behavior...

    Remove tape adhesive from upholstery

    In one of my great intellectual moments I left a roll of 3M duct tape on its side on my seat, for several weeks, in the summer, in Florida, Parked outside. What is the best way to remove this? I haven’t even tried yet, these types of things end up making a bigger mess when you don’t know what...

    Oil recycling: Help me get a better understanding

    O'reilly is the only chain place around that requires you to sign form with info, quantity, etc. I don't understand what good that does, though. If they find a big turd in there, what are they gonna do, knock on everyone's door? What happens when everyone says "wasn't me" They also make you...

    Cilantro vs Parsley for Salsa/Guacamole

    I love salsa, provided there are no large leaves of cilantro to bite into. Cilantro in any other dish makes me want to scream. To me, cilantro tastes like I'm sucking on a rusty spoon. In other words, [censored] tastes like blood. hate hate hate it

    Guys hugging other guys instead of shaking hands is this new

    Honestly, nowadays the fist bump is the least uncomfortable one in my opinion. It avoids weird/untraditional handshake methods. Avoids weak, awkward handshakes. Doesn't lead into half 3/4 or full hugs. Doesn't turn into a grip battle. This is for casual encounters with people you are not 100%...

    Effects of bass vibrations on overall vehicle integrity?

    Is there any documented or otherwise personal cases of the effects of excessive bass vibrations on the vehicle? Of course, aftermarket subwoofers/speakers are required. I am talking about the kind of frequency/volume to the point that it will actually cause doors/windows to "flex". Examples...

    Drivers not turning left with green light

    I don't know what the law states here in FL. Regardless of what the law states, it is a practice that I find troublesome. I've seen plenty of people get stuck in the middle because the traffic didn't end up flowing as they would have hoped. Then they try backing up and that causes even more...

Has been very consistent since upgrading to using a thermometer and not an arbitrary amount of time. 8 cups of milk in crock pot, heat to 180+ Turn off, allow to cool...

    Seems like everyone so far loves grits. Makes me wonder if people that don't like grits just skip over the thread or if this website attracts grits lovers somehow
