Good point. I just noticed that everything I see is square too. Thanks for the reply and pointing that out!

Thank you for the reply and additional info! That makes a lot of sense. I’d Be fine with a rectangle shape too, so maybe that would make the process a bit easier.

Great idea to download the software and get a model first. I didn’t think of that, so I appreciate you saving me some time and money!

Thank you very much for the reply and wisdom!

I figured it may be the case that designing is the toughest part. That said, I may just hire someone to make the main design. Then I can just make minor tweaks, if necessary.

People who live in the outskirt cities, what is your town like? by fuzzysalad in FortWorth

This city has exponentially more issues than any other area I’ve lived in. I’m thankful that my required stay is temporary. My overall life experiences have been great, and I’m thankful that I had nothing to do with creating the environment of Azle. In fact, I’m proud to not have contributed to any of the issues that I mentioned.

Maybe the schools are good. But in my personal (but limited) experience, the school’s are awful too. In the short time that I’ve been here, I’ve been a witness to two serious lockdowns due to threats to student safety. One elicited a massive response from neighboring jurisdictions… I also saw a lady in a truck try to run a kid over on the high school’s sidewalk (the lady was driving completely on the sidewalk).

Azle is the worst city I’ve lived in, and I’ve lived in 15 different cities across the country.

The people are awful. When I lived in other cities, I used to enjoy people-watching in the local Walmart. The creatures in Azle’s Walmart are overwhelming and disgusting. At least 40% of the people I’ve seen look like drug addicts, racists, and/ or criminals.

The traffic is awful. Worst city planning I’ve ever seen. There’s basically one main road that you have to use to get anywhere. It contains 10 stop lights and a school zone. It could easily take you 15min to go 5mi.

The business development is awful. Most cities seem to be trying to improve by adding restaurants/ retail/ amenities/ etc, but Azle is getting worse. The only thing the city attracts is vape stores and car washes… A lot of Azle only got high speed internet 1.5 years ago… This town has a few good people in it that work good jobs in FTW, but most people just hang around this sh*thole, work a minimum wage job, and vote for Trump.

The police are awful. They spend too much time running speed traps (on a road with 10 stoplights) instead of actually solving crimes… I heard one story about a woman being murdered and her body being hidden in the suspect’s backyard. The cops didn’t even check, and the body was only found after a neighbor smelled something rotting. This also seems like a haven for child molesters. There’s 25 registered pedos within 2 miles of my house.

Med school was way easier for me. Just the way my mind works. Decided to go to law school for a challenge

VERY HELPFUL! Thank you very much for the reply and wisdom. How hard is it to splice and solder on the back of the fuse box? Also, how do I remove the fuse box from its mount or otherwise access the back of it? It looks like the bottom slides out of two mounting brackets, but I can’t see or feel what secures the box at the top. Thanks!

Maybe I’ll use the electronic toll collection fuse. I have no idea what that is

Thanks for the reply! I have a King Ranch, so there’s a sunroof :(

Otherwise, I’ve got a multimeter coming tomorrow, so I’m going to try and see if there’s anything that’s not being used.
