  1. My water heater is in the basement so I replace elements and the faucet without draining the tank. Just turn the water off and let the pressure off the system. It will leak a few cups of water but it doesn't hurt the concrete floor. You just need to have the new element or faucet ready to go back.
  2. Kind of true but not the whole story. The problem is with the synthetic stuccos wicking up and holding moisture so the termites don't have to go back into the ground to get moisture. EIFS is typically applied to bead board similar to the cheap styrofoam coolers and that stuff is like a sponge.
  3. I would almost bet ya that is EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finish System) commonly known as Dryvit. The number one problem with EIFS is the bottom edge detail. It has to be sealed to the slab edge so that moisture can not rise into the wall (a phenomenon known as rising damp). This creates an absolute utopia for termites because the way termites are killed is by installing a line of poison around the house so that the critters will crawl though the poison when they go for water. If the water is in the wall, they just sit and eat. And when it comes to paint, I would recommend a good, high q
  4. The accident apparently had the road closed for a couple of hours. I was just curious if there were fatalities or serious injuries and if it was anyone I know. Kind of close to home.
  5. Macland & 278 toward the Macland end. Near Dave Summers Drive. The wreck is gone. Just the tree with no bark and a couple of women looking at it.
  6. Just passed some people looking at a tree that had apparently been hit by a vehicle. Anyone know any details. When it happened, was anyone hurt?
  7. ^^ Yep. Use this and not roofing felt. Tyvek allows the transmission of water vapor (aka: vapor permeable). If the water vapor is trapped in the wall, it will convert to water and can cause mold in the wall.
  8. Oh lighten up. I doubt she will be surfing p.com any time soon. Have a Merry Christmas. I'll save telling you to bite me until December 26.

    The 80s

    I had a Plum Purple 1974 AMX.
  10. I try not to tell this story too often. My dad was a GA State Patrolman. In 1960 he was shot while looking for an armed robber (by the armed robber). His partner turned the predator into hamburger meat with a 12 gauge shotgun and 00 buckshot at point blank range (I saw the photos). Dad was in Emory Hospital for three months but lived. He would be against any kind of gun control.
  11. Get robbed one time and you will know better than to try to stop a gun bearing predator with water.
  12. Maybe I should have been more specific. I was talking about the Falcons, not the Lions.
  13. Not as sharp as they were the first half. The Lions are giving Chris Houston some help now. We keep going for the home run when we should be running it down their throats. The Falcons run the weirdest game I have ever seen.
