anon let me tell you this - you are inexperienced, that is all, and don't take this the wrong way.

I have done stupid shit and I'm quite shocked at how ignorant I was of the danger I was in. I have climbed onto the roof just like your picture with those Little Giant A-frames that have extendable legs, with a 10:1 ratio, with no tie off, and no person holding the ladder, during windy conditions.

There are some guys in my trade who are 40years older than me and do more stupid shit than myself.

But sometimes, the work that I think is stupidly dangerous just isn't planned right.

Like that ladder...

Does your company not have an extension ladder they can set up on the ground to get to the 2nd floor?

And if they don't... a short extension ladder with a string so you could tie that shit off on the railing or pillar, and not worry bout a thang?

Those pillocks that are your coworkers were probably just testing you, and if they didn't want to help and just laughed at you, go find another company. Those guys sound like absolute wads.

Dear FBI, what the fuck is wrong with these angry people in this thread? I bet they are the people calling in the swatting attacks. That is some serial killer anger they have. Its worth investigating why the janitors allow this personal attack on Lambright?

Isn’t there supposed to be a slope in concrete away from your home so water runs away from your foundation and towards a low point in heavy rain/flood etc?

>> No.2467102 [View]

>>2462473

You better test the ventilation of your stove before you keep going, typically you Require a specific venting slope based on the size of exhaust. If the slope of chimney is not adaquate you’ll get carbon monoxide coming in, smoke, and possibly moisture etc.

You don’t want to have to rip it all apart again after just because you didn’t test it..

Plant hedges. If they can’t see past them they won’t risk you being home. People are naturally afraid of unknown or confined spaces, as most mammals are.

Will also increase the value of your home and provide privacy.

Learn a cash hobby (farmers markets on weekend selling driftwood or somthing, it doesn’t really matter, just has to be cash only business and this will be your future cover.
>Make sure you gradually learn the mannerisms of the one that appears the most similar to you.
>isolate them from the outside world by learning their passwords and messaging friends, co workers and their family from their devices or profiles profane (but legal) things.
>sneak into their room when they are vegetative from weed at night and steal their Wallet, fake a small controlled fire when they are passed out and make sure the alarm goes off. (This can be done by simply burning bacon on the stove etc).
>The adrenaline/ weed comatose / and general lack of memory will be a decent cover for “where did my wallet go?”
>man, you smoke so much weed you probably forgot it somewhere.
>immediately create a new email with a similar name, slightly different spelling and apply for credit cards. Make sure you have them sent to a P.O. Box in another city (you can buy one for very little), make sure you use their ID. You must do this the next day or it may be flagged as lost etc. make sure you wear clothes belonging to your roommate and then put them back exactly as you found them.
>Keep wallet and contents in a safety deposit box away from your property.
>for the year leading up to the move do nothing but become great friends with them, while building the credit up by paying for gas and paying the balance entirely each month with your new CC’s.
>about 18 days before you’re about to move out, on a night they stay home and don’t go anywhere, max out CC’s withdrawals in cash and make sure you’re wearing their clothes again.
>Lace their weed with fentanyl a week prior to moving out, and bam, you now have ultimate revenge and cash for a down payment on a house. When questioned; I worked so hard during school on weekends saved every penny I earned at the markets!

Side note; If you have to remove the cabinet then it was installed improperly and you should lower the mounting rack at the back anyways, so just use a pry bar and pry the fucking thing off. You may need to patch the wall again after. It’s likely just a small sheet of drywall you’d need to replace anyways.

Alternatively look for small stickers covering screw heads aiming towards the adjacent cabinets.

You do not have to remove the cabinet to swap the microwave, I just did mine last year.
Re assemble your cupboards and remove the bolts at the top of the microwave attaching it to said cabinet above.
Rock the microwave forward slightly and lift the back off the metal rack. Make sure you have the strength to do it without dropping it onto your stove, if you don’t, stack up some wood so the microwave can drop into the pile gently

The outlet for a dryer requires a 30Amp breaker at your electrical box instead of a 50 so it doesn’t overheat/cause a fire etc.

>> No.2465440 [View]

>>2465427

Would it be easier to just go with a 4 prong outlet with the existing wire gauge? Wondering as the breaker box is a floor down and a ways away, I’d rather not run new line the whole way as there’s solid concrete floors, walls and ceilings.
