New homeowner lots of questions
  • Congadulations on your home! Best advice I can give is go slow. All the DIY stuff has loads of YouTube videos to help you so just take it easy. Anything you can hook up to existing infrastructure, you can tackle easy. Installing new lighting, painting, redoing flooring, new faucets and toilets, etc.

    Start top down. Roof, plumbing, foundation, grading, electrical, fixtures, cabinets, counters, paint, flooring. Water is your worst enemy, so deal with all water related problems first. Hire a licensed and bonded tradesmen for any major projects, such as roofing, electrical boxes, water heater or hvac. They will be able to work with permitting. If it’s old enough, a secondary concern will be cloth wiring, which is a fire hazard, also have your insulation checked for asbestos and your paint for lead. You’ll have to hire professionals for abatement.

    These all can be done as they come up, but before any major changes are done. An example would be, if you have a boiler and radiator setup, and you want to change to central heat and air, you’ll need to have the wiring changed to handle the new load.

  • FIDE effectively bans trans women from competitive play for two years
  • I have no idea of what’s going on here. Why are there separate gendered categories for chess to begin with, is there a reason they need to be separated? Does it have a ‘playing chess’ reason or a ‘some countries don’t see women as humans’ reason?

  • This is the war that created the German state as we know it today. The battle of Sedan, in which over a hundred thousand French troops and the Emperor of the newest incarnation of the French empire were captured, sealed the drenched fate and led to the rise of the modern German state.

  • What's the best petty revenge for a neighbour that constantly plays loud music but doesn't answer the door when you try asking them to turn it down?
  • solutions

    The real fun option is using the cb option above to have ‘god’ tell them to turn down their music by setting the frequency to a high enough level that you can speak through the cb every time they play music right into their speakers. You can also speak through their speakers when they’re off!

    Or blow them all up.
