    Ya I just had a buddy send me pics of one on his house in 78745. This rain after melting / freezing is really shitty.
  2. drt
    Either the fridge defrosted and leaked or you have a waterline issue.
  3. drt
    Yeah, if the curb isn’t one piece with the garage floor could be melting from the outside, or a leak. What’s on the exterior?
  4. drt
    Is the vertical concrete curb damp, or only the floor?
  5. drt
    Snowmelt from the attic, ie snow blowing in gable vents?

    Cesar DeLeon - (512) 577-7953 not sure his status but we’ve used him several times and been happy

    Very nice place. Be careful if you do the tree work yourself. Can be very dangerous as limbs can go unpredictable ways.

    I'm so confused. Is he advocating for the widespread adoption of PV/wind/geothermal generation at individual residential/commercial locations, coupled with individual energy storage capacity to provide for a widespread load dampening effect? Coupled with individual water harvesting and storage? Or something along the lines of Also, parish.

    Find it and thaw it. Heater, hair dryer, whatever.

    Getting a good dose of heavy sleet just south of the river in Austin. Trees are going to be fucked.

    Ya Austin’s code is fairly stringent for our region and it still has some glaringly obvious holes. With our water and energy needs changing rapidly, the codes just aren’t keeping up. But that’s probably a topic for a whole different thread.

    Compare the price of a frost free hose bib to a normal one. It’s stupid we all have to worry about thousands of dollars of damage, but here we are

    If true that will indeed fuck shit up. Damn. I’m going to make a grocery run before that, kids are definitely going to be home all week.

    I use Halts for pre, but am by no means an expert.

    I'm in sales, so this hits close to home. Seriously though, American prosperity has really affected the average and below average American in a positive way economically. This is just a glaring example of chickens coming home to roost for those folks when things are not great economically, or conditions changing in their field. I don't know what the answer is, but if shit gets worse for a good number of people the reckoning will suck for us all.

    More like my MIL, considering she dropped some off for my wife.

    Smoking leads to a higher incidence of all types of cancers that are not necessarily limited to the cardiopulmonary tract.
  20. drt
    Uh, yeah. Risk of tons of different cancer types go way down with healthier lifestyle choices.

    Sorry if I missed it if previously posted but preferred 00 flour brand?
  22. drt
    I wouldn’t. If you need something that small for diy stuff grab the dewalt jobsite saw, it gets infinitely better reviews. If you’re planning on real hobby woodworking buy the delta at Lowe’s

    Guess we can get this started. Is it time for pre-emergent? Feels like the grass is going to start growing any day now in Austin.
  24. drt
    Got it. So the status quo we’ve had with the decade plus of arguing over codes has led to positive changes? It seems like half the board that lived in austin has left the city limits I agree, but I also don’t think it’s a great indicator for a city if all of the increase in housing supply comes from rentals. You need both.
  25. drt
    I’m honestly confused what you’re arguing for. You say that there is “unlimited demand”, which agrees with Bozo’s assertion that altering the supply side of the equation is the only real tool that city planners have to tackle all of the problems listed. You’re obviously against the rise of COL but I really don’t follow how you think rising costs should be slowed. You outline how you think upzoning will increase COL but what is the alternative? Do nothing?
