Hey!...
How do I fix this? ( programming.dev )
Fixing my drain required breaking laws, pissing off IRC users, breaking tools…
It was taking around 24 hours to drain just ~1—3 liters of water in my kitchen sink. Probably comparable to IV drip speeds. After a huge effort and expense, I finally fixed it without demolishing the kitchen – which would have been my next and final move¹. Sequence of events:...

I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use.
This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable....

Wasting water with tankless heater ( lemmy.world )
It takes a few minutes for my tankless water heater to warm up, so we end up wasting a lot of water in our shower. Is there a way to avoid this? A friend mentioned a “comfort valve” or something? What is it and how does it work? Or is there another solution? Thx!
Kitchen completed. ( lemmy.world )

How do I seal this hole? ( media.kbin.social )
How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing? ( sh.itjust.works )
This is for a rental unit, so I’m trying to keep the cost low, while also sealing it away from silverfish. I have very fine steel wool on hand as well as a tube of DAP ultra clear flexible all purpose sealant.

Home Ownership is Just One Persons Fight Against Water ( sh.itjust.works )

My AC drain gets clogged every so often. Any trips for a more permanent fix?
About 2-3 years ago the line clogged and I didn’t catch it for a while and we had some serious water damage. It just clogged again and I caught it pretty quick but it could have been bad....

What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room? ( sh.itjust.works )
My goal is to keep hot/cool air from seeping between floors. Is canned spray foam the way to go? Any recommendations? Pest resistance is a bonus.
What is the best way to fix cracks before repainting ( lemmy.world )
I am renovating my son’s bedroom and trying to make the walls as nice as is reasonable before repainting. There are a few cracks like this in the paint.
