Coffee @lemmy.world

What is your favourite bean from Costco for making cold brew this summer?

What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room?

  • Unfortunately we do have a water softener but for some reason, there's still buildup.

    I've been seeing improvements with powdered bar keepers friend but it takes several passes and still comes back unfortunately.

  • A common way to wash many dishes is a tub of soapy water to clean off food, a tub of diluted bleach water to disinfect, and a tub of water to rinse the dishes. It's used by wilderness guides around the world.

    The plastic cylinder in my soap dispenser is loose and the soap no longer pumps. What's the best way to fix this? Super glue didn't hold.

  • Where do you find citric acid? I've been using white vinegar in a jar in my dishwasher which gets rid of all water spots and cleans better with my hard water. However, I'd like to find a place to purchase citric acid crystals without relying on Amazon.

  • Thanks for the info, do you know what the fixes would be, short of replacing the tub?

  • Since I tried the liquid soft cleanser, will the powder be enough of an improvement to warrant purchasing?

  • These comments are too much 🤣

    How do I permanently get rid of this discolouration in my bathtub? (I have hard water)

  • Thank you for your concern :) They're opaque and the same ones I used. They just reflected light weirdly in this photo.

  • aww @lemmy.world

    Ready for the eclipse 😎

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Are there any bath pillows available to make my neck comfortable in a bath where the rim is almost flush with the wall?

    What is this on my apartment hydronic baseboard heater?

  • This is the interior of a fixed window. Below it is a sliding screen window, then a sliding single pane window, and finally another sliding single pane window.

  • So I ask the guy at home depot for the longest, thickest, blackest caulk, right?

  • Home Improvement @lemmy.world

    Can I caulk around this window trim?

    Are there any ways to add weather stripping to help insulate against sound and drafts in addition to replacing the wool pile?

    What is the best way to link a Lemmy Community?

  • Are you saying that I shouldn't caulk that small exposed area? I'm just wondering why since I don't know.

  • I am referring to the small 90° gap between the flooring and the metal where you can see bits of exposed concrete. Are you saying that gap shouldn't be sealed?

  • Home Improvement @lemmy.world

    How would you seal this gap under central boiler hydronic baseboard heaters that only get warm, not hot.

  • What would be the rationale there? Bug prevention?

  • Very helpful! One of the pipes is hot water to a sink and the other two are cold water and wastewater. In that case I think I'll do some mdf / scrap wood then fill remaining hole with steel wool I have in hand. I'm guessing the hot water pipe wouldn't be enough to pose a fire risk with the steel wool / mdf?

  • As I added in another comment, I'm a tenant.

  • I'm actually a tenant trying not to deal with my landlord. But I fully agree with your take on it.

    How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?

    Are there any window AC units that don't hang outside of the window (building requirement)? Or is a dual-hose portable AC unit my best option for an energy efficient AC unit?

    Home Improvement @lemmy.world

    How high above my baseboards (edit: hydraunic) should I hang my sheers to avoid a fire hazard?

    This door slams with zero slowing down. Is there anything I can do to improve it short of taking it apart, like lubrication, tightening bolts, etc?
