Them weep holes in a brick wall.
Shoot, they’re just little gaps left open down at the bottom so water can drain out from behind them bricks. Brick sucks up rain like a sponge, and without them holes, it’d trap moisture, cause mold, rot the wood, and mess up your whole house. They also let air flow in there to dry things out.
Keep ‘em clear, or you’ll be cryin’ later when the wall starts fallin’ apart. Simple as that,
🤔 Oh, brilliant idea—because obviously the fastest and cheapest solution for that lovely algae bloom in the Reflecting Pool is to just drain the entire thing, scrub it down, patch any liner tears, and refill it with properly treated water. What could possibly go wrong? Pure genius.
@Cat5SMASHICANE A sweet machine, but I’m sure you’re limited on where you can use it. 🤣 You’ll probably spend a few hours laying down mats so you don’t destroy the yard or the driveway due to the weight of the truck.
My skin is so oily I could probably fry an egg on my forehead by day 2. I normally take two showers a day like a civilized human who doesn’t want to marinate in their own grease. 🤮
After 72 hours I’m not just “a little icky”I’m basically a human oil slick. 🤣 One wrong move and seagulls start trying to land on me thinking I’m an oil spill.
For the right bag of cash I’d suffer… but day 5 I’d be sliding into the shower like a greased-up penguin yelling “TAKE MY MONEY BACK, I’M DONE” 🤣💰🛁
@SuddenLncident Who in their right mind transports full high-pressure gas bottles (oxygen, argon, CO2, etc.) without the safety caps screwed on the bottles. Dumbass lucky to be alive….
@Gitmo99@SweetTexanRose There were no cell phones when I was in school, and we survived just fine. If you needed to contact a student, you’d call the office, and they’d announce it over the PA system for them to come down.
I avoid updates like the plague: That magical iOS version where they swapped notification sound for a sad little water droplet you need superhuman hearing to detect. Truly a gift to humanity….especially for third-party apps, which sound like they’re whispering from another dimension. I even bitched them out in an email. I’m sure Tim Cook lost sleep over it.
@HiroshiAbeux I’m no expert, but it sure looks like a lot was backfilled for elevation and not properly compacted. The way those piles sunk into the ground so easy.
@akafaceUS Oh, you know, they actually make 1/4-inch sheetrock just for situations exactly like this. Slap on two layers and—shocker—you’ll match that existing 1/2-inch drywall perfectly.
