ptz OP , to Home Improvement in Sewer smell in bathroom only when temperature outside below freezing
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Interesting.

My sinks, showers, dishwasher, etc all have a separate PVC sewer line and only the toilet still uses the original steel one. Both sewer lines, PVC and steel, exit the basement separately, but I don’t know if they stay separate all the way to the sewer connection at the street or combine outside. Thanks previous owner /s.

That said, I’ll have to check the vent configuration. I think there’s only one vent and want to say it’s shared between the two, but I have no idea. When I bought the house years ago, the inspector didn’t make any notes about that, so I assumed it was all good.

Thanks for that diagram, btw. Will see how mine compares and hope the plumber doesn’t just recommend ripping everything out and starting over xD

Haven’t had any snow accumulation this year (yet), so it shouldn’t be that blocking it. Not to say it couldn’t have a block by something else (it’s almost 70 years old). Haven’t noticed any glugging, but like you said, I may not notice it.

I’ll mention it to the plumber and see what they think.

Thanks!

Interesting. I don’t have any issues with things going out (or, worse, coming back up), so I didn’t think to involve them at all. Worth a shot. Thanks!

Thanks. Will give that a try. The sinks get used frequently, so I don’t think the traps would have a chance to dry out, but it’s simple enough to try.

All I remember is Roz picking the name Ichabod on the form when they were pre-registering him for the boujie school before he was born. lol.

I’ve always pronounced it like the thing you use in your hair.

Shot in the dark: Agree on Roz (I’ve read Gilpin is supposed to be in the revival). Maybe we’ll see college-age Alice along with her?

Right?!

If anyone reading this lives near there, you should find out where she works, go there to eat, and just be the worst.

“Can I get a glass of hot water? Before you serve it to me, let it cool down to room temperature first. I just need to know that it was once hot. Also, I’m in a hurry, but if it’s not right, I will send it back.”

Also be sure to snap your fingers at her because service workers love that.

Possibly, yeah. They did honor Angell in a closing title card during the original airing. I guess it could be both. :shrug:

I saw it a year or two ago, and I don’t remember if it was a meme or a real product (either way, I want one), but it was a Crossfield-class pizza cutter. Anyone know if that’s real?

Edit: Nevermind, it is real. Had to lift my Amazon blockade, but they have it. I don’t think it’s officially licensed though :/

@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I’m for leaving them in, at least the minor ones. We’ve lived with them this long. Plus, it’s always fun to spot the production goofs.

Re: Terok Nor paging sound on Defiant. I vaguely recall that, and I think my mind just subconsciously hand waved it. lol. Something about it being akin to DS9’s custom ringtone.

I think I would be okay for a major correction. Like if the original version used the wrong transporter effect or something.

I’m enjoying it.

ptz , (edited ) to Do It Yourself in WIP: Replacing heating coil in dryer
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Not sure if there’s a specific grease to use, but I’d imagine any relatively high viscosity grease should suffice. Maybe someone else can recommend something more specific/appropriate than “axle grease”.

Might as well replace the belt while you’ve got it apart. The way my luck goes, I’d get it all back in business and the belt would snap.

ptz , to Home Improvement in Tested my central heating today.
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Yep. I turned mine on yesterday just to test that everything’s working for the season before I really need it.
