Ideally, remove all the caulking. All of it. Clean w 50/50 bleach/water. And do it over. And be thorough . Sashco Lexel White adhesive caulk. mold resistant, sticks around a long time, works on wet surfaces. It isn’t cheap tho. 20-25 bucks for a 10oz tube. If that’s too costly, GE Supreme Silicone is a good product but you absolutely have to get the old caulking out first. That’s about ten buck USD a tube.

If you can’t remove it all…. Remove all old loose caulking. Clean up caulking with a 50/50 bleach/water mixture. Let dry well.Then go back with what was there - silicone or adhesive caulk, etc. Large gaps need something like backer rod to fill the majority of the void. Is it a tiled shower stall or is it paneled? Is the gap at the tub/panel joint? Where is the gap worst at? Fill the tub w water halfway, then do the work. Preloading the tub with some weight helps a bit with the tub/panel joint cracking.

Fixing mold can potentially be stupid expensive, but my experience is in commercial settings, not residential. Leaking around the tub can mean up to and including ripping out tub, greenboard, and exposing the studs to either replace or treat them. It likely won’t need to go that far.

Leave door open when not in restroom. Install a fart fan.

To expand on that, anything made in a private facility with government funds should be free and easily accessible.

Oh Jesus dude

Hell yeah. Stronk

Just got off a 45 min conference call with a boiler manufacturer.

My employer purchased a boiler that is improper for its use as location, and now is likely stuck eating the cost. Unit alone is just north of 15 large.

Basically, you can’t under size a boiler. You can’t oversize either or they run poorly, are prone to errors and decreased lifespan. It requires some homework when retrofitting a new boiler into an existing application . You have to account for flow rates, head pressure, pump sizes, and some other crap.

I did some good work. I nailed down the required package, turned it over to my employer for approval. Then he went and ordered what he thought was required because ‘I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you have’

I’ve spent the last two days dealing with incorrect delta T, pump purge cycles, % efficiency versus incoming water temps on a brand new boiler. Unaccounted for spikes in temp due to multiple pumps at different speeds causing improperly mixed hot water to reenter the boiler. I’ve cursed. I’ve screamed. I walked off the site for a few hours today to chill out.

In an act of desperation I called tech support to verify my homework and that this is the right unit for the job.

Turns out it’s not. It’s too large, and the pumps responsible for the zones are too fast. And it cannot be returned. It’s been ‘activated’ on the website so now my boss bought it, more or less. The tech rep’s suggestion was purchase the proper unit and when we find an application for the improper one we can have the warranty transferred over.

Feels good to be dead right. Fuck you Jim.

You aren’t coding hard enough, I think.

Sure I guess so.

Or just learn to code

Imagine how disliked you really have to be when a bullet nearly turns your head into a canoe, and people just collectively shrug it off.

I’m not mad I’m actually laughing rn
