Is he is too busy dying his hair?and taking out trash is supposed to be my brother's job.

If that is a tower computer, can you open the case and set some attractive sugar and borax in a jar lid for the roaches? Maybe once the computer has less interference it could start again? And maybe use start in safe mode to get it started again?No word from my friend and Mom's computer just died. She said she didn't know what was wrong, I looked inside with a flashlight through the clear side panel and it is absolutely crawling with roaches. She keeps food and trash all around her desk and computer which attracts the roaches. I try to clean up as much as I can but she gets mad if I touch stuff near her desk and taking out trash is supposed to be my brother's job. Now we need to get her a new computer and get the data off the old one.
Just a note, OSB, as composed, is moisture resistant, plywood is not, so, if you have a squishy floor, you have far greater problems, than OSB.havasu, he's too busy playing computer games I think. But he does want to dye his hair still. LOL. He just hates having to do any work while at home.
HandyOne, the psu is dead. No lights come on at all. It's toast. I'd wager there were thousands of roaches up in it.

Roaches were walking on her graphics card

After I vacuumed for the first time. I did go and clean it up a bit more after this and I played a game of trying to catch the suckers with the straw on my makeshift attachment I made.

So, I cleaned trash out of the truck, moved the new pc from the front seat to the back seat, got the mesh screens to put on the computer put in the truck, checked on the water trough (doing good), picked up some of mom's clothes to put in a laundry bag, washed them, and moved them to the dryer. I had to sit on the floor to pick stuff up instead of bending. Mom offered to help me up and I said "We'd both be on the floor!"
Got her an appointment with the doctor this afternoon bc she said she feels like the mucus moved to her chest. Friend's paint was all dried up so no painting yesterday. He's grabbing more on his way home from work today and I'll meet him at his house. He'll work on setting up Mom's new pc and roach-proofing it while I paint.
Yeah, it isn't sitting on the joists properly. It was a hastily done patch after the toilet fell through the floor (with my brother on it). There had been a leak we didn't see.Just a note, OSB, as composed, is moisture resistant, plywood is not, so, if you have a squishy floor, you have far greater problems, than OSB.
Vacuum the inside the best you can and, once you've done that use a compressor to blow through the vents of the power supply, fans, and heatsinks. If it still doesn't work, try to reseat the power cable connectors at the power supply and motherboard (i.e., pull them out, check/clean the contacts with a swab with alcohol, let dry and plug them back).havasu, he's too busy playing computer games I think.

So today I'm shopping for a new wall oven. My super deluxe, American made professional model Viking shorted out last night as I was finishing dinner. Thing cost a fortune and is only 8 years old. I put $1500 in repairs into it about 3 years ago. New element was $500 and failed within a couple days of the warranty end but Viking just blew us off on covering it. I have 3 or their appliances and they are the worst I have ever owned while being the most expensive at the same time. Not sure what I'm going to end up with. I sure didn't plan on buying another over so soon but I'm not going to put any more money into the thing.
@Spicoli43 have you priced a speed queen? I mean they will supposedly last if you don't mind the upfront cost. I considered it when I bought my new set, but I just couldn't. Spent time with the grand babies, had pizza for dinner. Now relaxing for the evening.Ever since "Energy Star", 99% of the brands are literal garbage, but a repair tech told me for laundry, Speed Queen doesn't quit. That's my next stop for that.
I think I remember a conversation where someone said Wolf was horrible but Viking was excellent.
Looks nice Shan! That sure is a big hole the rat made! Do you have a power mitre saw? Baseboard and trim really make a nice looking room look even nicer!Well, it's done.... these knees aren't what they used to be. I scrubbed the inside and outside of the toilet.
It looks like the tank lid fits on it okay. Why do you think it's too close to the wall?So, the toilet can't be used because as it is, it's too close to the wall (literally touching it).
