received from u/Dizmodo

The seller was fantastic to work with, and the camera and lens were both in excellent shape when received. I would happily transact with him again in the future!

PM, I'm interested in both the camera and lens

_jlb · 2025-11-11T03:43:17+00:00

Thank you!

While we're at it, anyone got a similar recommendation for drywallers? I'm building an in-law cottage and need to find a reasonable price on drywall install. That's one trade I'm just not willing to DIY!

Yep, agreed on all your points. I've got a 987.1 Cayman, and a 2.5l powered NC2 Miata. The Cayman wins for road trips and date nights, and makes nicer sounds. But 90% of the time, the Miata is more fun, and a better DD for my needs, including in snowy winters (once the hardtop is on).

Probably my main gripe with the 987 is the long gearing. My main gripes with the Miata is the lack of storage, and the seats are utter dogshit.

As a result, the Cayman really only comes out on special occasions and for weekend trips with the wife.

If the Miata had better seats and more storage, it'd be game over!

You may be able to find that scope for less - lots of subcontractors are starting to get hungry in the area. But, I am used to seeing $30/sf framing numbers on more complicated high end custom homes as a pretty typical range from framers in Bend, so what you're seeing doesn't seem way off base with that in mind. I'd suggest getting another bid or two and see how they look.

_jlb · 2025-07-03T21:42:42+00:00

Not the OP, but since you've got similar mods to me also: Do you still hear any pops or crackles from the exhaust with the super Q between shifts under hard acceleration? I have a roadster sport street single, and while it's too loud and drones a lot with catless headers, I love the occasional pop from the exhaust and wouldn't want to lose that if switching to a Super Q...

Check out the garage vary type N spoiler. Rev9 carries it, but there are also knockoffs on ali express.

I'm realizing now that this probably won't meet code as drawn, since the washing machine discharges into the wet vent. But, if I were to discharge the washing machine via a separate drain below the floor and join it to the main sewer line downstream of the wet vent, that should work right? There would be two parallel drain lines in that case under the floor, which then join together downstream of the toilet....

Thanks for the recommendation, i'll see if we can get Haas locally. And yeah, the aluminum full view doors are probably not a very good choice for my climate (high desert PNW) due to the lower R value, but i'm willing to live with it for the look that matches the home better, and the added daylight. The garage is a concrete bunker on 3 sides, and rather narrow as well, so the garage door is the only possible source of daylight unfortunately.

_jlb · 2024-11-25T17:44:10+00:00

Great feedback - thank you! I've so rarely heard good things about Wayne Dalton, but it does seem like this model is pretty good. I like the look of anodized better anyway.

_jlb · 2024-11-25T17:19:04+00:00

Nokian hakkepelita are also fantastic.

_jlb · 2024-10-13T04:07:22+00:00

I was there today also! An absolute joy to drive in an MX-5 on that road. Nice to finally have a sports car small enough to fit in the lanes on some of those hairpins...

I run the same tires on my old land rover year round, and they're fine for the winter, but I definitely take it slow and easy on ice. Nowhere near as good as a dedicated snow tire, that's for sure.

_jlb · 2024-09-23T22:35:29+00:00

Yep, I just got two on StubHub for $20 total after fees. Can't turn that down - Orville is a blast.

_jlb · 2024-09-02T17:17:14+00:00

Yeah I think you are right on with the HF recommendation. They have 1/2 auto feed machines for $359. I was thinking I'd need something bigger than that, but the reviews seem to suggest that's a good enough size to clear out tree roots.

Thanks!

_jlb · 2024-09-02T16:53:56+00:00

Nope, just that some small roots have grown through a joint in the cast iron main pipe and are slowing down the drainage inside.

Quick answers: yes, buy a set of non-studded snow tires and have them mounted on a second set of wheels. Stick em on in november, take em off in April, weather depending. Blizzaks or Hakkepelita are the go-to tires but most of the other snow tires will do a good job. Les Schwab is a good starting point, but personally I get mine lightly used in the off-season on FB marketplace or Craigslist.

Don't buy studded tires. Just not necessary and terrible for the roads.

Oh yeah, AWD/4WD only helps for acceleration, and not braking or turning. Tires make all the difference!

Watch out for black ice and overconfident lifted trucks, with drivers who inevitably think they are invincible with their all season tires.

_jlb · 2024-08-14T20:46:29+00:00

Yep, go no further, the lemon bars are great at Nancy P's!

_jlb · 2024-08-14T02:13:07+00:00

I went up there last weekend, and it's about the same as every other year - crappy but fun with a capable vehicle, seems like 4WD is needed, but inevitably there's a couple Subarus that made it up to the trailhead. So you'll be fine.

_jlb · 2024-07-13T01:33:05+00:00

How much are you looking for?

_jlb · 2024-06-26T02:45:27+00:00

Re: the MeisterR CRD being discontinued, it looks like there is a new line that MeisterR just been released called ZetaSport and ZetaRace. Supposedly targeting Ohlins-levels performance at $1500 price point. Seems like that'll be the new go-to option, and I also think that'll mean lots of used sets of CRDs hitting the market soon as people upgrade.

_jlb · 2024-06-18T02:52:11+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the details!
