It hit all those things??

Hello!

It looks like the builders never installed J-channels around the windows, and we've noticed some water coming into the house through the window frame during heavy rain and wind. The internet tells me it's possible to slide some J-channel under the existing siding but I can only find videos on doing it before the siding goes on.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Edit 1: this only happened one during a very intense rain, not all the time.

Edit: Figured I'd update in case it can help anyone. I got in touch with someone to come take a look, and it turns out these windows have built-in J-channels so that wasn't the issue at all.

The problem was where the house wrap actually went behind the window, making that J-channel useless basically. While it was still taped across, that's really the only place water could have come in so there must have been a gap in the seal. So he sliced the wrap, inserted another barrier under it and layered it so that water could never get behind it again.

Also confirmed no water damage/stains around the windows so it's likely all the water that came in was caught inside by our towels.

It's so close to reality that I'll forgive it :P

I'm Canadian so I'm really asking this genuinely, but which liberties are being crushed in NY that aren't in other states?

It's completely loose (can move a few inches up and down) and rattles on the muffler while driving. Easy fix for a noob, or should I take it in? And uh... how urgently? 😂

Most people with pickups barely ever fill up a full bed let alone an additional trailer and 4 more people.

More like 75 years but who's counting?

a world like ours.

I find it absolutely hilarious picturing Frodo trying to place an Amazon order, or getting kicked out of his hobbit hole because of inflation.

Hell yeah, we've got a heat pump and we're in Canada where it can get to -40°C (which is coincidentally also -40°F) and that thing works like a beast. Fortunately we also have the cheapest electricity in North America so the decision was easy.

Seriously, can you imagine if it was a brown guy trying to kill 6 people because they're white?

Feel free to roast me if this is idiotic. Thank you!

Usually this bot is great but this is a pretty big one to miss:

And the same week NASA’s report came out, Mexican lawmakers were shown by journalist Jaime Maussan two tiny, 1,000-year-old bodies that he claimed were the remains of “non-human” beings. Scientists have called this claim fraudulent and say the mummies may have been looted from gravesites in Peru.

....so you don't have evidence.

Ethically I agree completely but this should only be done if you're past your warranty (or don't care about it).

And let's not pretend that prisons don't regularly disregard inmates dietary restrictions, even the medically necessary ones. It's easy to laugh at this one because 'haha vegan' but it's still atrocious to ignore any dietary restriction, let alone such a common one.

They've got 98,000 KM (60,894 miles) on them and I figure this was pretty much my last summer on these anyways. Time for a new set? Thank you!

Hi all,

I accidentally bumped into this charger and now the bottom prong in this picture can wiggle left to right (relative to this angle). I wanna say it moved about 10° from its original position and you can see the bunched up plastic from where it moved.

I bent it back into position and it's still very stiff... just wondering if it's still safe to use.

Thanks for your help!

One of my absolute favourite shows from my childhood, sadly cancelled after 13 episodes. There have been rumours of a reboot but nothing confirmed for a while.
