Poor thing is looking petty rough

Yeah, and it can mean they don't survive the winter due to the lack of protection from their coat

Tip for next time: shine a bright light across the wall to cast shadows and really emphasize any imperfections. I do this while sanding, and circle with pencil anything that needs another coat of mud to fix then go back and take care of those.

Sure that’s not a crabeater seal?

I’m thinking paint but same idea

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. It looks like on top of the drywall there is paint, wallpaper, and then a few more layers of paint. The cracks could be at the seams of the drywall from expansion and...

Take a rasp and putty knife and try to remove some material (not into the drywall, just take off paint and mud layers) so that you have a recessed area for the tape the go. This will prevent you from needing to build out the area so much to hide the repair, and is very necessary at the edge of the corner bead otherwise the metal edge that forms the corner won’t actually be the corner anymore (so there’ll be a weak and ugly “wave” in the line of the corner).

Joint compound can’t span cracks without just cracking again; it needs to be stabilized with something. Usually that’s the embedded tape, but it could also be fiber-reinforced compound or something like that too I suppose.

Are the smaller trucks like the Maverick not available in your area? Or do you mean something like a Kei truck maybe

Often with women, if they’re attractive they aren’t taken as seriously (not considered as competent or intelligent for e.g.). I don’t think the same problem exists with men so this makes sense.

The next question is what percentage of men are considered attractive? My hunch is it’s not very high.

We had a vote but it was essentially deliberately ruined from the get go. Instead of yes or no, it was permanent summer time, permanent winter time, or keep daylight savings so the people wanting permanent time split their vote and lost.

They would just adjust their working/wake hours. Instead of the Eastern USA being open from 0900-1700, they would be open from 0400-1300.

Isn’t that just time zones again?

usualsuspect191 ,

Plenty of people would prefer the extra daylight in the mornings rather than the evenings. I’m personally in favour of summer time all the time

Cute. Were the vocals really quiet compared to the rest for anyone else?

So the roof line meets the wall above this? My first suspect would be the step flashings along that wall (assuming a shingled roof). Often what seems like a small or minor detail in the way these flashings are done can mean they work great, or water gets in over time.

That man’s name? MTV

That kitty litter solution wouldn’t work for mice with toxoplasmosis, plus cat pee doesn’t smell particularly nice…

I agree there would be droppings if there are mice.

I don’t think wood shrinking/movement is to blame here at all. With single attachment at each joint and no bracing, there’s nothing stopping the whole thing from “racking” e.i. going from a rectangle to a parallelogram. You need diagonal bracing.

Are you able to include some pictures by chance?
