Have a little paint to sling, and the gas line gets installed next week by the plumber. Tradesmen are so booked out it's insane. I think the remodel went well, and despite being in the works since last November, once we finally got the cabinets it went really fast. Some shots below.

Hey all, hoping for some help. The garage of my rental property is partially underground. I have a spot where water is leaking through the grout when it rains heavy. It's not the end of the world since it's the garage, but I'd like to patch it. I tried using Hydraulic Cement and either I did it wrong or it's not the right solution. Is there something else I should be using or did I just do it wrong and should try again?
Would a rubber spray like Flexseal work for something like that?

I think it's more important to get the water diverted away from the foundation than to try to patch it. Gutters? Directed down spouts? regrade on that side of the house?

There's already a french drain over there, but I'll have to look. The house goes right up (maybe 2-3 feet) from the property line, so there's not a ton of space to work with.

i'm not good with this stuff, but watching this guy do concrete repair is amazing, he has a 14 part series on different foundations (all he does is fucking concrete) so pick one that best fits, since you know,

So we finally started tearing out the second bathroom at our farm.
Got the shitter out, started with the flange, hammered it some, it moves some, but it looks like they poured way to much lead in it.
Any ideas how to get a iron flange out with to much lead? Maybe blow torch to melt the lead?
We have tried drilling, cutting, etc.
It's in a concrete floor

Really melting the lead is the only thing I can think of.

I think people seed and fertilize early fall. Then I just really mow the leaves into the grass. I've "heard" ti's good for the grass, but I'm lazy so that's mostly why I do it.

For the 25 years I lived in New England, no one did a single thing about grass before the winter and every year, the grass was happy and healthy each spring. You don't need to do anything because that's the natural cycle of the environment. If you were in Nevada it would be different because grass isn't native there.
