2023.06.09 16:43 Whowutwhen Got Divorced so I ate some mushrooms. Trip Report.
Context and days prior. 41 year old, many years of experience with psychedelics. Married at 19, have been in divorce for the last 6 months, Finalized on trip day. Months of journaling, meditation and personal work lead up to this trip. The 10 days prior consisted of a minimum of 30 minutes of intention journaling daily, focusing on shedding the old, forgiveness of self and others, acceptance of self and situation, love of self and all, focusing on my strengths and rebirth into a new self. Day before, house cleaning, pretty easy. I just moved in. I held close my intentions from the journaling as I made a ritual of the cleaning.
12.20 Ingest - 3.55 Golden Teacher - 1.5 APE Blob, powderized, mixed in OJ for 20 min. 12.20-12.35 Read the intention journals. By the 7th one, eyes became hard to focus, words start to become hard to understand. 12.35-1 Lied in bed with no sound and eyes covered. 4 distinct visions occurred but I only recall 3. 1. I was in an amusement park ride line, and a special “more fun” line opened up, despite me wanting to, I could not figure out how to walk over to that line, I didn't know how to. 2. I was an amusement park game and kids were running up to me and playing the game to be showered with love and joy. 3. I was waiting for a bus, a party bus pulled up full of all the things an older version of myself would have loved to do, I again was left unsure how to take that path and was frustrated by it. 1-1.40. At this point a large current of energy had begun running through the body, I took a shower. This was a thoughtless lightshow. The faucet handle took the visage of an Aztec priestess, crying neon green tears. Various symbols and patterns danced across the walls and curtain which had taken an ethereal, ghostly appearance. At some point the shower curtain had collected water and slipped outside the tub making a bit of a mess. Tossed a towel on it and tried to continue showering but was too distracted by the mess. Hopped out and cleaned up. At this point the energy in the body felt like lightning. Uncontainable, I gave my sister a call, chatted about the birds and her new crocs for a few minutes, then I had to burn off energy. 1.40-2.20 Bike Ride - Decided to ride my bike down to the lake. The ride to the lake was easeful and exciting, arriving at the lake a sense that I should not have taken this bike ride came over me. It wasn't ominous, just a sense that this ride might not have been a responsible decision. I decided to return home. Riding home some mild panic set in and the notion of being hit by a car and the news reports that would follow, “hippy on mushrooms killed by car”. Allowing this to pass while riding a less busy path home. Thoughts of people I know and what they may be thinking of me at this time come in. I wonder if they think I am ok, if I am depressed, if I am going to do something rash today. I laugh at the thought as I arrive home. 2.30-4ish. Unitive Experience. Exhausted from the ride I return to lying down. This was the most impactful period of the experience, but words largely fail me. All perception of the outside world melted away. There was only this one space filled with it all, not separate from it, not a rider in it, I was it. A lawful order flowing endlessly, landing here, now in this perfect moment. Feeling this sense of order, my place here became very clear to me. If it is all flowing orderly, then there is no place else to be than right here in this moment, every moment. The sense I had always been and never been. This went on for eons seemingly. 4ish-5.30ish. At some point sense contacts begin to return and I open my eyes. At this point I am mostly returned. Feeling an overwhelming sense of belonging I spring out of bed, laugh at the disheveled figure in the mirror, tie my hair back and head outside. I grab my bike and ride for a pack of smoke, there is so much life, but I’ve been missing it. Trapped in the illusion of thought, distracting me(us) from all this beauty. This beauty is already here, all the time, no modifications needed. Got home from the gas station and made a drink, a drink in hand excuses a lot of silly behavior ;) and went to water my gardens.
Around 5.30 my daughter comes to hang out and we talk about my experience and enjoy a couple drinks and some cannabis. Around 7 a friend comes by. We all hang out for a while, they leave around 9pm, and I go to bed shortly there after.

2023.06.09 14:49 topypeanutbutter As I was taking a shower, I felt the water turn from warm to cold to hot in just a minute.
I then turned around to turn the handle of the faucet to make the water warm again, but as I turned, I saw a hand disappear behind the shower curtain.

2023.06.09 08:28 sodabrix Need help wth Payne Heat Pump. Low Suction Saturation, high superheat, normal subcooling.
 | Hi Everyone, submitted by sodabrix to hvacadvice [link] [comments] The system has a TXV and a Piston. It was a no cooling call. I’m stumped. Outdoor Unit: PH15NA042-A (2009 Payne) Indoor Unit: CNPVP4221ACAABAA (2009 Carrier) When I first got to the outdoor unit, I put my gauges on and noticed that the superheat was high, suction saturation was low (below freezing), and no subcooling. I went to the indoor unit and changed the filter. I inspected the indoor coil, and it didn’t look dirty at all. I gave the outside of the condenser coil a quick wash with a hose. I added two pounds of R-410A which brought my subcooling to 7F. The outdoor ambient was around 77.5F. The data plate requires 9.5F of subcooling However, my suction saturation remained around 30 to 32F. I had a 20F delta T, so I told them to monitor the system. I already checked the contactor and dual run capacitor and changed them both due to wear and testing low. I also checked the TXV sensing bulb, making sure it was gear clamped tight. I replaced the old insulation as well. I'm leaning towards TXV issues but any advice/ recommendations is appreciated. I’m going back to this job tomorrow. Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/qkh0yhvasx4b1.png?width=1152&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed779c36a366102d72d2de484fddc809f7f8192c https://preview.redd.it/bl0pujvasx4b1.png?width=923&format=png&auto=webp&s=34b42f90b61e793a5ad05184dadec73f81617097 |

2023.06.09 08:17 Effective-Debt7127 Measure before or after the varnish?
Dear all,
It is my first post on here. Thanks for everyone's contribution.
I'm a print buyer for a FMCG company. One of my duty is to monitor the quality of the print of our package.
Our print involves CMYK+1 spot, with matte varnish.
In some cases, I will have to go to the print factory and perform an on-site check. Most of the time, all the color measurement hits my standard target right after it came out from the press. But few days later, the supplier send me back the flat sheet with matte varnish, all the data shifted and the measure became out of my deltaE standard.
But to be fair, I did approved on-site before the varnish.
So, how does your customer deal with these kind of situation? I'm thinking should I request both flat sheet before and after the varnish and re-set a new standard for both situation? So if there are some cases I couldn't go to the factory, I will use "after varnish target" as my standard. If I need to perform an on-site check, I'll use "before varnish target" as the refereance. Does that sound "logical" to you guys?
Thanks
Aaron

2023.06.09 03:55 Melodia_Violin I've been involved in a neighbor war and I didn't even know it
So, my wife (29F) and myself (27F) have been living at our current apartment for little under two years now. The way our building is set up, it's a three floor building, divided into three sections, with six apartments and only one staircase in each section. We're on the top floor. This is somewhat important for later.
Back in November, we had new neighbors move in to the apartment directly below us: a husband (We'll call him John) and wife (We'll call her Jane), who was expecting their first kid soon, and their two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Chow). My wife and I have two dogs ourselves (a bloodhound mix and a Labrador mix), and these were the first neighbors in our section to have dogs too, so we were really excited, maybe our dogs could have some friends. However, I found out last week that these neighbors were essentially trying to sabotage me and my wife being able to live here by essentially filing a whole bunch of false complaints against us. And the thing is: we've only had five interactions with these neighbors. I'll include rough dates these happened so you can understand how sporadic these interactions were, too.
Interaction 1 - I ran into Jane while she was walking her dogs as I was getting ready to go to the store about two weeks after they moved in. We exchanged hellos, I got to meet her dogs, and it was just the typical "welcome to the apartment complex, good to finally meet you" kind of stuff
Interaction 2 - Happened around New Years' Eve 2022. As I was coming down the stairs to take my dogs out, Jane was just coming back up with her dogs. While the interaction definitely wasn't great, it definitely could have gone worse. My dogs did pull the leashes out of my hand, but all they did was essentially shoulder check her dogs and bark as a form of posturing, and thankfully no one got bit. She did call the office and file a report, and we all (landlady, the neighbors, and myself and wifey) agreed that my dogs will have mesh muzzles on whenever they're outside to limit how much they can open their mouths. These muzzles do not restrict the dogs' breathing in any way, shape, or form.
Interaction 3 - Happened in late Feb. Wifey and I were coming home from a date night where we went out to eat and went to Barnes & Noble to pick up the next book in the Heaven Official's Blessing series that wifey and I are both reading. When we got back, both John and Jane looked like they had just gotten home from taking their dogs for a drive, and the dogs were getting out of the car. This was my wife's first time really meeting them, so she stayed in the parking lot to say hi while I went ahead upstairs to put our dinner leftovers in the fridge and the book on the shelf. A few minutes later, she comes up cradling one of her hands. Their Chow actually did bite her, and her hand was bleeding! Thankfully, it was a small bite and we were able to clean it with first aid equipment that we had at home, and we were able to cover it with a regular band-aid. After making sure she was okay, I called the office to file a report of my own. This lead into:
Interaction 4 and 5 - Both happened on the same day. Number four happened the morning after the bite, where once again, Wifey, myself, the neighbors, and the Landlady (we'll call her Clara), all met in the leasing office to discuss the bite. While Jane did admit that she loosened her grip on the leash to let the dog approach, she actually had the audacity to try to ultimately blame Wifey for getting bit! Thankfully, Clara shut that down real quick and told Jane that it didn't matter if Wifey approached the dog or not; the fact remains that everyone was in the parking lot, a public area, and where the Chow bit Wifey would easily have been the face of a little kid. Clara put the same requirements that the Chow needed to wear a muzzle when outside and also demanded proof of vaccination for the Chow be sent from animal control. That night (interaction 5), Jane came up to our apartment and spoke to Wifey on the landing. I had just gotten off work, but I could hear them through the door. Jane was essentially saying the same things that she had said down at the office, still trying to shift blame onto Wifey. Wifey actually still tried to extend a hand of friendship, saying that while our dogs might not be friends, we could at least be acquaintances. From what I heard, Jane didn't seem to like that idea.
After the bite and the conversation at the office, we stayed behind to talk to Clara after John and Jane left. Clara said that after Interaction two, Jane had called the office four times in a row before I even got back into my apartment, claiming that my dogs were vicious and needed to be removed. Apparently, John had personally gone down to the office claiming that the German Shepherd had an injured leg due to my dogs, but Clara later saw Jane walking both dogs, and both were fine. Now, Clara has met our dogs, and she loves them. Both dogs love going to say hi to her, and they give hugs and kisses, which she loves, and she told us that she doubted what John had been saying the moment he came to complain. She also said that on multiple occasions, the Chow had full-on snarled at her when she wasn't even close, and told us that Jane knows that at least the Chow is actually vicious.
For the next few months, we all do our best to avoid one another. However, if I or Wifey was out with our dogs and the neighbors came back from an errand or something like that, they would lurk in their car until after we went back into out apartment. Even if we weren't anywhere near their car, they would just sit. Now, I admit, if I'm listening to a song that's almost over, I'll stay in my car for an extra minute or to let the song finish. But sometimes, we'd be out with our dogs for 10, 15, 20 minutes and John or Jane would STILL be in their car. I also caught Jane following us on some occasions, but she was always really far away, so I couldn't tell if she was actually following us or if she was just nervous if we would turn around before she got to our stairs.
Well, the neighbors were scheduled to move out at the very end of May. May 31st, and they have the UHaul truck. I was NOT sorry when I took the dogs out and saw them loading it during my lunch break (I've worked from home since the pandemic). However, at the end of the day, I ask Wifey to take the dogs out with me, and we see they have another UHaul, and they're unloading it BACK into the apartment! Jane followed us again during this walk, only this time, she was NOT subtle about it at all! She was right behind us for half of the walk, doesn't say a word to either of us, and while she is texting, she's regularly looking up and making eye contact with us, almost like she wants us to know she's following us. This happened at around 6pm, so it was still fairly light out. Later that night, at around 9:40, when it's very clearly dark, I took the dogs out again, by myself this time. Jane comes out of her apartment and says that lately, Wifey and I have been stomping on the floor and it comes through their ceiling and it's waking her up in the middle of the night (Wifey does have insomnia, so she is up late sometimes). Jane tried to gaslight me and say that she talked to me about it months ago, but the five interactions I mentioned earlier are the only ones we've ever had. She said that she had called Clara about it several times, and that if we continued stomping like that and waking her up, she was gonna call the cops. I agreed only to get her to go away, but as I thought about it, why in the world did she not bring this up when she was following us earlier in broad daylight and instead try to corner me alone when it's dark out? I also went back through my phone records, and the only missed call I have from the office was in March and was a callback regarding a maintenance request I had put in. All other calls in my phone to the office were ones I had made. Wifey didn't have any missed calls from the office, either.
The next morning, Clara calls me. The place that John and Jane were looking to move to ended up being a scam and they were hoping to cancel their early lease termination and move back in, since they had nowhere else to go. I tell Clara what happened with Jane the night before, and OH, BOY, does Clara have tea!!! Clara's assistant property manager (we'll call her Mary) is a personal friend of Jane! Those calls that Jane said she made to Clara about Wifey and I "stomping"? Were actually texts sent over Facebook Messenger directly to Mary! These do not count as noise complaints, since they weren't made through the office channels (either the office phone or email), and from what Mary confessed, John and Jane were planning to file a complaint against us for "excessive noise while we were moving out"... in the middle of the day! Clara thanked me for providing my side of the story, and informed me that, while she'd give them an extra week and a half to let them search for a legitimate place to move to, they would have to be out by a certain day and no more extensions.
John and Jane did not take that well! We happened to take our dogs outside when they were already out with their dogs? Call to the office, "Their dogs attacked ours!" We start doing dishes? Nope, we're "throwing around cookware, it's so loud; should we call the police to do a wellness check?" One of us takes a shower and a bottle falls due to the water? "Are they doing construction up there without approval?" The funniest one was they tried to call Clara to file a noise complaint while Clara was in our apartment with us monitoring another maintenance request being filled (we had to get work done on our tub, so yes, it was a bit loud)! Clara was an absolute gem during this whole time, shooting down each and every single one of their complaints for the bullshit that they are, sticking up for me and Wifey when corporate asked what was up with the deleted "complaints", and she kept me and Wifey informed during this last stretch of John and Jane's neighbor war.
As I'm writing this, I'm watching them pack their new UHaul. I feel such relief knowing that after this week, they're going to be out of our hair completely. Neighbor wars are exhausting, I don't know how Karens can handle this!!! This next part is sung to the tune of that song from The Sound of Music: So long! Farewell! Good riddance, stupid bitches!!

Back in November, we had new neighbors move in to the apartment directly below us: a husband (We'll call him John) and wife (We'll call her Jane), who was expecting their first kid soon, and their two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Chow). My wife and I have two dogs ourselves (a bloodhound mix and a Labrador mix), and these were the first neighbors in our section to have dogs too, so we were really excited, maybe our dogs could have some friends. However, I found out last week that these neighbors were essentially trying to sabotage me and my wife being able to live here by essentially filing a whole bunch of false complaints against us. And the thing is: we've only had five interactions with these neighbors. I'll include rough dates these happened so you can understand how sporadic these interactions were, too.
Interaction 1 - I ran into Jane while she was walking her dogs as I was getting ready to go to the store about two weeks after they moved in. We exchanged hellos, I got to meet her dogs, and it was just the typical "welcome to the apartment complex, good to finally meet you" kind of stuff
Interaction 2 - Happened around New Years' Eve 2022. As I was coming down the stairs to take my dogs out, Jane was just coming back up with her dogs. While the interaction definitely wasn't great, it definitely could have gone worse.

2023.06.09 03:06 BlackJacquesLeblanc Are there any solutions for a leaky Shower Diverter Valve on the bathtub faucet?
When the Shower Diverter Valve in my RV's bathtub faucet is pulled (to send water to the shower head) an amount of water still flows from the tub nozzle. This is common for these but in a house shower a little wasted water is not a concern. However in an RV where fresh water is a premium, and you want to avoid unnecessarily filling the grey water tank, it is more of a concern.
Ours leaks, more than a little. I try manipulating the valve to minimize it, but it's still more than I'd like.
Is there a fix? Alternatively can anyone recommend a replacement faucet that does not have this problem?

2023.06.09 01:41 MyCatsNameIsLarryS I graduated! At 41+1 epidural and (mostly) very positive
Like a lot of people on here I got a lot of comfort from reading other peoples birthing stories, so I thought I’d go ahead and write mine out and post it in the hopes it’ll help someone.
My OB didn’t want me to reach 42 weeks, so once I hit 41 they began trying to schedule me for an induction at the hospital. When I got home from my 41 week OB appointment, I got a call from my OB saying to head into the hospital ASAP because she had managed to get me scheduled for an induction that evening. I was out on a walk with my husband and he literally ran home to get the car and pick me up. It was so surreal driving to the hospital, we were so nervous my husband and I didn’t even really talk. It was happening!
When we got there around 7pm however, the nurses at the intake area had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I think when the shift changed over they forgot to inform the overnight staff I was coming in. Which is fine! Mistakes happen, but y’all they were so rude. They acted like I was lying and trying to trick them into inducing me. It didn’t matter how many times I explained my OB had called and told me to come in, they clearly didn’t believe me and were just so overtly passive aggressive.
Eventually they agreed to admit me for an ‘assessment’ (not an induction). They left me hooked up to some monitors for 3 hours without checking in while they tried to get ahold of my OB and get things figured out. I could hear them trash talking me in the hallways and complaining about me coming in ‘for no reason’. It hurt my feelings so much and made me so angry that I actually started having real contractions while I was there. My husband is convinced they offended me into labor.
Eventually they did contact my OB. I guess she told them why I was there and that I wasn’t lying because they were MUCH nicer to me after that. They told me I was all scheduled to be induced at 7AM the next morning and to come back by 6:30AM. By this point my contractions were actually pretty bad, but I was terrified if I told them that they’d keep me for longer. I didn’t want to be subjected to any more passive aggressiveness, so I lied and said I couldn’t even feel them. I just wanted to go home, I felt so defeated. I didn’t want to be in a vulnerable state around these hostile people.
We got back home by 11PM and my contractions were really bad. I didn’t wind up sleeping at all. To me they didn’t feel like period cramps. I felt them more in my back and lower abdomen. They felt like Braxton hicks, except painful and coming in waves. I started timing them around midnight and by 2AM they were 4-1-1. The app I was using kept telling me to go the hospital, but I was worried that if I went in before my appointment I’d be placed under the care of the same nurse. I was hoping she’d be gone by 7. I alternated reclining in a rocking chair and taking a shower to deal with the contractions. The shower actually really helped. I kept reminding myself that my body knew how to do this and to do what felt right. And that it was okay that it hurt because it wasn’t permanent. The breaks in between contractions were great, I used them to reposition myself or have some water and repeat my mantra.
I made it through the night. My husband was mad I didn’t wake him up and get him to take me to the hospital sooner, but we headed in for my appointment. And the staff from the previous night was gone! (Yay!) When my new nurse (who was an angel) checked me she said I was 4cm and fully effaced. She suggested the OB could break my water to speed things along and I agreed, but asked to get an epidural first. I had heard from moms on here that everything gets a lot worse after the water breaks and I was already at a 6-7/10 pain.
The anesthesiologist was a pro and worked around my contractions. When he got it placed I felt almost immediate relief, but experienced two things I didn’t expect. Number one was my body sort of panicked because I went completely numb below the waist and my lizard brain thought something was wrong/I was going to die. I really had to logic my way out of thinking that. Which was difficult because I found instincts sort of take over during labor. Number two was I only went numb on my left side. I could still mostly feel my right. I’d heard from other moms on here that could happen, but the anesthesiologist told me if I lay on the side that hurt and hit the button for an extra boost it should seep over into the right side and numb that up too. And it worked! So please if you’re still feeling pain on one side give that a try if you can.
My labor did stall after the epidural so they gave me some pitocin and I just napped for most of the day. My wonderful nurse moved me around and positioned me with the peanut ball. Around 3:30PM she put me in a position called the flying cowgirl and within 10 mins I felt this horrible pain on my right side that turned out to be transition pain. I used the anesthesiologist’s trick and lay on my right and hit the button for a boost.
Before the epidural kicked in (and it did!) I was writhing around so much that my husband called the nurses in even though I kept telling him not to because I thought it was just another contraction. Good thing he did because when they checked me, they said my baby was +3 and coming out now.
It was so surreal. Even though I’d known I was giving birth that day, to know it was happening right now was bizarre. A bunch of people came into the room and my poor nurse who had been with another patient down the hall literally ran in. She called my OB to tell him to get over here and then helped me practice push. By this point I wasn’t in pain anymore, but I could feel the contractions, they just felt like a lot of pressure. I pushed for just under an hour (it felt like much less) and he was born by 4:30!
The pushing wasn’t bad, it just felt like a lot of pressure. It took a bit to figure out how to push, but the nurses coached me really well and gave me great feedback. I did have a 2nd degree tear, but it of course didn’t hurt at the time and within 4-5 days it didn’t really hurt at all. I know it is cliche, but the minute they put your baby on your chest you no longer care about any pain or if you tore. It didn’t really feel real until I was holding him, but once I was it was so immediately worth it. It’s also cliche, but for me (who was lucky with an uncomplicated delivery) the memory of the pain and nausea faded very quickly. I’m just over a week out and I’m already thinking it really wasn’t so bad. Your body knows what it’s doing and you’re just along for the ride. It is 1000% worth it and you are capable of doing it. Even if it seems abstract now, everything clicked for me once I was holding him. And now that I have him I can’t imagine not having him. Even though I admit that I didn’t feel any particular connection to him in the womb.
I personally found a lot of comfort in not really having a birthing plan. My only plan was get an epidural and then trust the medical staff who see this stuff every day to make the right calls for me and baby. Which is why I was so upset with that first nurse because I didn’t feel like I could trust her to advocate for me. So please don’t be afraid to request a different nurse/staff if you are feeling uncomfortable.
Best of luck everyone!!!

The pushing wasn’t bad, it just felt like a lot of pressure. It took a bit to figure out how to push, but the nurses coached me really well and gave me great feedback. I did have a 2nd degree tear, but it of course didn’t hurt at the time and within 4-5 days it didn’t really hurt at all. I know it is cliche, but the minute they put your baby on your chest you no longer care about any pain or if you tore. It didn’t really feel real until I was holding him, but once I was it was so immediately worth it. It’s also cliche, but for me (who was lucky with an uncomplicated delivery) the memory of the pain and nausea faded very quickly. I’m just over a week out and I’m already thinking it really wasn’t so bad. Your body knows what it’s doing and you’re just along for the ride. It is 1000% worth it and you are capable of doing it. Even if it seems abstract now, everything clicked for me once I was holding him. And now that I have him I can’t imagine not having him. Even though I admit that I didn’t feel any particular connection to him in the womb.
I personally found a lot of comfort in not really having a birthing plan. My only plan was get an epidural and then trust the medical staff who see this stuff every day to make the right calls for me and baby. Which is why I was so upset with that first nurse because I didn’t feel like I could trust her to advocate for me. So please don’t be afraid to request a different nurse/staff if you are feeling uncomfortable.
Best of luck everyone!!!

2023.06.09 00:17 stillinbed23 Possible unlicensed contractor issues in florida help!!
We hired a handy man that has a website that says he is licensed and insured to renovate our kitchen and bathroom. Bathroom includes electrical and replacing a toilet as well as replacing vanity faucets and shower fixtures. Kitchen is a complete demo of ceiling, peninsula, addition of external venting for new hood fan and removal and replacement of cabinets. Kitchen work is ok so far. Bathroom vanity was installed too large and too close to toilet violating 15” off center code. I posted pics to social media asking for opinions on paint colors and was alerted to the code violation. (Our house is identical to neighbor unit and i can get the pre-demo measurements proving it was in code before.As handyman is claiming it wasn’t.) Prior to work starting we were told we did not need to obtain any permits by handman if we did project in two stages.Not being in construction we believed him. After social media toilet issues I called the city regarding codes. I found lots of info regarding permits etc. I began to suspect that handyman isnt licensed and did a search with county and state. Nothing came up. He also admitted to using unlicensed subs in text convos i have saved. He claimed he was saving us money. At no time was this discussed, him using unlicensed people in our home. I reasonably assumed that as he was licensed so his subs would be also. Upstairs vanity also made too large. He has agreed to fix that. He is baulking at fixing the lower bathroom as quartz is already installed and he said no one will eat that cost. The last communication we had with him we informed him all work upstairs would need to be permitted. He responded with an increase in price that would incur. I questioned why and he brought up the subs. He said the workers he had here were his friends. I questioned why this was so. I have saved all text covos from him. Additionally his invoices list another company that has an extremely poor bbb rating. When i googled the owner of that company it is mentioned that this man who is a general contractor lets others use/rent his license. Thats illegal as I understand the law. We have paid roughly 70k for the downstairs and he has 10k deposit for work on upstairs not yet started. He still has an outstanding punch-list of things to do on main floor. We plan to get everything permitted ourselves that he did. I did sign off on the cabinet drawings. He is using that as leverage for downstairs incorrect size. However as he is unlicensed i believe he cannot enter into contracts and i believe that may void the drawing approval. I want my downstairs bathroom brought to code my punch list finished and my 10k returned. I also want any permit penalties i incur for filing after the fact covered. He owns a home locally and has kids in school here. His wife grew up here and his father and brother live here. He has lived here for 15 years at least. I don’t think packing up and running is likely with his extensive community ties.

2023.06.08 23:47 EnzyEng How to fix noisy pipes
When turning off the water to our shower the pipes make a loud banging noise. This is the only faucet in the house that does this. I assume it due to fluttering in the faucet valve or something like that. If I put a water hammer arrestor on the water supply for the washing machine (about 10-15 feet away from the shower) do you think this will fix the noise from the shower? Thanks!

2023.06.08 23:16 AtlasMukbanged All faucets had brown water for about an hour yesterday, and today there's no pressure in the toilet.
I live in an apartment building and I can't really get pictures to illustrate what the issue is. I don't know what it is.
Yesterday very suddenly, all our faucets (kitchen, bathroom and shower) suddenly had brown water, almost like sewage but no smell. It lasted about an hour and then appeared to be gone.
Today, we suddenly have zero water pressure for the toilet. We called maintenance and they checked the valve and whatever else is in the back there, but said they had no idea what was wrong. Just that there is no pressure. It's only in the toilet, too. I mentioned the previous day brown water and he said that was apparently normal and unrelated...
So now he said he's going to talk with the landlord but has no idea if/when it will be fixed and we are having to dump a gallon of water into the toilet each time we want to flush. Three people in an apartment with one toilet makes this tedious.
I asked if it was a pipe issue. I did a small apprenticeship (just six months or so) when I was younger laying plumbing on construction sites and I think I remember hearing that issues like this were usually a result of damaged interior pipes. But the maintenance guy insists the pipes are not the issue.
So... I'm not sure where to go from here. If the landlord doesn't fix it I will call a plumber myself and just deduct the cost from rent, but I'm not sure if maintenance is being sketchy or not.
Edit: Not sure if related but they just laid a bunch of new sprinkler lines all over the lawn right out front of our apartment. like ten feet away and down the sidewalk. Probably irrelevant, but figured I'd throw that in.

2023.06.08 22:51 HelloStrangeness Everything new but the Vid Card Build.
Hey people, looking to basically replace my current PC with an all brand new (except the vid card) build. I have a 3080 bought a year ago I'm going to install then replace in another 2+ years. Using for work which is basically 3 monitors, multiple browser windows, Photoshop and another Adobe program or two and also gaming. Nothing video editing, though I may mess around with it at some point to try to learn it. Let me know what you think and any tips on the building process. It's been 10 years since my last full build like this.

2023.06.08 21:27 dachshundie Relatively sudden poor water pressure from shower and faucet
Hi all - I would appreciate some educated opinions/advice, as I'm very plumbing naive.
I recently started to have really low water pressure in my shower, both from the showerhead and tub faucet. All other water pressure (sink, toilet) in the bathroom is unaffected. No other showers in the house are affected.
There are no issues with temperature regulation. There has been some occasional leaking/dripping from the faucet for quite a while. The faucet assembly is a Delta 1400 series.
Based on my uneducated researching, the most obvious place to start for an issue like this is to try flushing the system by removing the cartridge, and to potentially replace the cartridge if that fails to improve anything.
Is this the right approach? Would a cartridge issue be compatible with the symptoms my shower is experiencing? Is there anything else I should be looking into first before replacing it?
Thanks!

2023.06.08 21:07 GoldenFlicker Help with bathroom accessories
Anyone know if there is a guideline for what colo finish to have on toilet paper holder and towel bars/ holder when there already two other finishes in the bathroom? The shower and sink faucets are chrome and the door knobs are brushed nickel. I’m leaning towards chrome for the towel holders and toilet paper holders but I’m so overdue in making a decision on this.
Thank you in advance!
