based on the pic alone, I can only imagine your plan is to drop a fat steamy shit in the outhouse and smoke your food with that.

fuck right off you faggot. this man wants to stay in his home and work to improve it. he doesn't want to abandon it. this dude living in his dumpy run down shack has more spirit, soul, pride and determination than you ever will. fuck, more than your bloodline ever will.

rather than tell him to flee his homeland, why not do something useful and encourage him to rebuild it?

the 3.8l ohv? nothing to worry about really. you won't be messing with the timing. it's the OHC engines that are shit to do a headgasket on.

just make sure everything is immaculately clean before you put it back together. if it's high mielage, you may want to replace the valves and/or seats while you are at it, but this is optional and only needed if you see excessive burning and wear.

just follow the repair manual and youtube videos.

lesson learned: no matter how tempting it may be, don't make pizza when you are stoned.

>Landlords love retards like you. Not only do they get free labor, they get to keep your security deposit for breaking the rules.
why are you here? I'd gladly let them keep the security deposit if the tradeoff is that I get to modify the apartment how I see fit. I'm not gonna wait around for the super or whoever to fix my shit. this is /diy/. I'll do a better job and do it quicker. I'll paint the walls how I want them.

I'm not gonna sit around in my filth and expect someone else to fix it. But you can if you want.

>few certain spots the ceiling in my bathroom
think about it for a minute and it will come to you.

what are things that happen in a bathroom? what accumulates in a bathroom if there is poor ventilation?

and most definitely stop listening to the idiots talking about leaks or primer. those are not the issue.

ignore the other posters and do exactly what is in your pic. make sure the ledger boards are fastened into the brick with big ass masonry anchors. maybe even use some concrete adhesive to make it rock solid (ie drill a 1/2" hole with a hammer drill, glue in 1/2" threaded rod, and bolt the ledger to that.

as long as the ledgers are solid and level, you can't really go wrong from there.

same situation as OP here, but my wife is the one who wants the tub gone. maybe she's just weird though. she did marry me after all.

the bathroom she wants remodeled is the only one with a deep soaker tub with jets, and she wants it replaced with a shower stall.

tires are designed to be tough a fuck and will literally take a beating.

you can nail through them, but you have to be a man about it. hit it like I hit your mom last night.

>Throwing away $100 shouldnt be something people swallow so easily.
when you move out of your mom's basement, you'll learn that $100 is not a lot of money.
