Trench drain covers
Posted by Will Cover on 8/31/26 at 9:05 pm
This item was tagged in my inspection report, and the inspector is correct. It could definitely be a tripping hazard.
It looks like this plastic piece is supposed to snap/clamp into the drain. The problem is, even when I tap it in with a mallet, it will eventually pop back out. I’m assuming that after 12 years, the plastic has warped or lost some of its shape.
I originally thought there might be a way to screw it down, but after looking at it tonight, I don’t see any way to do that.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement for this, or something similar that would work? I’d really like to fix it properly rather than trying to glue or otherwise rig the existing piece.

If true, I'm not surprised. Once the landscaping at that place became optional, it was only a matter of time.

I'm also planning to sell mine. Nothing wrong with them. Moving, and my daughter wants the "black" color. Still under warranty - about 3 years old, with 4 years left from my understanding.

re: Tankless water heater issues

I had this same issue. After doing some research, my shower head put out more than 2 GPM. The on demand hot water system couldn't keep up with that flowrate. I replaced the shower head to a 1.8 GPM (recommendations are for a GPM < 2 GPM).
:wha:
I have an 11.1 GPM tankless, and I have to turn every faucet on in the house, along with all three tubs and a shower, and then, and only then, it can't keep up to produce enough hot water for all faucets, tubs, and shower.

My wife's friend just got a dick pic from one of her husband's friends. She called his wife to report it, she said he sent his dick pics to all of his wife's friends.
To my defense, and this is definitely not an excuse, I’m farsighted, and my eyesight has gotten worse over the years. And now that I am in my 50s, I’m apparently at the point where I probably shouldn’t be using my phone, much less sending texts and attaching photos, without my glasses on.
Unfortunately, that’s undoubtedly what happened. I grabbed the wrong photo and sent it.
I have personally called each of the ladies involved, as well as their husbands, to apologize. I wanted to make sure I apologized to each of them directly and let them know it was an honest mistake. A couple of them were offended, and embarrassed and said this would change the dynamics of our friendship (even though they are more friends with my wife). One, though, who will remain nameless, asked if I was a coffee drinker.

I like Home Depot better because they carry Milwaukee-branded tools. And they deliver, often times the same day, for free. I ordered an item that was less than $5 and it showed up at my door hours later.
Not sure how that is profitable for them, but they continue to earn my business.

Things you find out from family later in life.
My uncle Tommy always got called the quiet one. Never started fights, never talked back, just worked the farm and kept his head down. Growing up we all figured he was soft. My dad used to joke that Tommy would rather take a beating than throw a punch.
After he died last year I was helping my aunt clear out the attic and found this old metal box. Inside was a letter from some guy in the army and a couple of faded photos. It turns out back in ’68 Tommy’s little sister got jumped by three guys outside a dance hall. Tommy was there. He didn’t say a word, just walked up and put all three of them in the hospital. He broke one guy’s jaw, another one’s arm, and the third one never walked right again.
The cops showed up, saw the mess, and asked who started it. Tommy just stood there with blood on his shirt and said, “I did.” They hauled him in, but the sister told the truth and the charges got dropped. He never told a soul. Not even his own wife. We found out from a letter the sister wrote him years
The whole time we thought he was the coward of the county. It turns out he just didn’t need to prove it twice.

A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes thanks to a newly approved, non-invasive ultrasound treatment. For years, 72-year-old Air Force veteran Bud Leavell struggled with severe tremors that kept him from living life to its fullest. Then doctors at UT Southwestern used focused ultrasound waves to target precise areas deep in his brain... without opening his skull. At his latest follow-up, the tremor remained under control. His response when asked how he was doing? “What tremor?”

Shopping for windows for a new construction home and I have gotten quite a few prices all over the map. I don’t mind spending the money to get good quality but don’t want to overpay for the same quality.
Any recommendations?
I looked hard at Windsor (often pushed as the “better” brand), but ended up going with the Ply Gem 1500 Brickmould in Low-E2+SC / Argon with Warm Edge Plus.
The glass package on the Ply Gem is actually higher performing than the basic/builder-grade Windsor vinyl, and I was able to get them for less money. Felt like the smarter value play for the money, especially in our climate where solar heat gain matters.
If by chance you are interested in Windsor or Ply Gem, I have quotes for both that I am willing to share.

All the time. One thing my therapist instilled in me several years ago is to always speak my truth, and I will never have to apologize for it.
Seemed like great advice at the time -- and still holds true today. Has really helped me in the professional work environment, as well as personal relationships.
