Re: Painters
I remember a painter who really liked using a sprayer, but he didn’t like to mask things. At a restaurant where I sometimes helped out, this guy sprayed the windows, light fixtures, stainless steel, and even coffee cups. I don’t think he was ever invited back to paint 😏

I remember pulling toilets sealed with "Bowl Setting Compound". It was like a linseed based plumbers putty.
Re: Smart Thermostats and Single Pipe Steam Systems
Not a fan of all the tinkering, but some have had success. I still go back to the Best for Steam...Honeywell T -87....even the newer non-mercury ones are better than the Smart ones, I have found. If you can pick up an older model WITH mercury, at a Yard sale or what have you...GRAB IT and put it in... Mad Dog 🐕

I'm only joking Mad.
We all know you can't put mercury in the trash.

It must be properly disposed of, I believe by whoever collects hazardous waste in your area.

Re: InSinkErator Garbage Disposal
I just replaced a badger with the same thing (in April) and had the same issue. Somehow I got it to line up to the existing piping ok.
Maybe it will fall off the sink LOL but hasn't yet. I like the older version of the lock ring
