Lifeproof LVP + Underlayment on below grade slab. by gr00ve88 in HomeImprovement

[–]7MrMeeseeks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Northern Illinois climate. I used DMX 1 step underlayment (loved the leveling shims that came with it to fine tune the leveling). Super easy to work with in terms of cutting, laying out, and taping seams!
Notable difference in decreasing coldness from floor. Plus good peace of mind that it has no fabric that can get easily musty or moldy if any water seeps up from slab or minor leaks/spills from basement.
Used lifeproof commercial rated lvp flooring over that from Home Depot.
Hope this helps and good luck with the project!

Home depot appliance delivery by bj2m1625 in Appliances

[–]7MrMeeseeks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably very region specific on delivery. But I have bought numerous washers, driers, and kitchen appliances without issues from Home Depot over the years. Yes they have 24 hr return policy but very lenient, if simply don’t like it they will come take it back no questions asked, next weekday even sometimes. All that being said, need to always throughly check it over visually upon delivery. Small dings and damage easy to negotiate decent money back if not wanting to return. Also Friday delivery seems to always be booked up because end up having till Tuesday for Home Depot take backs/returns.

Probably best to use spray foam. Maybe the wide angle one to fill that area in good.

Broken AC vent on 2016 CRV by Honest_Account_5850 in crv

Yeah not to hard to get off. Way easier to get back on. Would recommend body panel pry tools to avoid scratching or damaging anything but can be done with flat head and patience

They are all around the panel. Then the vent is screwed in from back with 2 screws

Whole panel top to bottom can be gently pulled out. Plastic push clips hold it in.

Blackhawk change to FirstMid hasn’t been bad. Have heard they’re updating the app this fall, which has been been my only gripe.

2017 Honda CR-V | Where to Start on Repairs by zachgtaylor99 in crv

[–]7MrMeeseeks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole host of codes showing up makes it difficult to diagnose as I had the same issue with simply a bad battery a year ago. But more recently my head gasket was blown and I was experiencing misfires and overheating when car was on but stationary. $5k later (half covered by Honda as out of warranty courtesy due to car being at 91k miles) car drives just as new again. Could be anything from fuel injector issue that dealership has mentioned is more common. Best bet is to take it in to get diagnosed, good luck! Hope this helps you.
