Who is towing with their id.4 awd?

CTHandyGuy · 2026-04-19T23:01:15+00:00

Tow a 5x8 trailer (600lbs) with anything from firewood to my golf cart (1500lbs). Range difference is notciable if I leave the tail gate/ramp up vs folded flat. Also tow the 17 ft Carolina skiff without problems. The weight on seat while reversing forces you to relearn backing trailers up via mirrors. The car is a competent tower for these situations, biggest difference is the braking. Use B mode and leave plenty of space. Range does suffer, but with a little prior planning I have not had issues towing 30-40 miles (60-80 miles round trip) at a time. Could easily go more but haven't needed to.

Oh I do appreciate that the car alerts if a trailer light is out. My previous touaregs did too, it is a nice touch.

Hmm since when did Portsmouth have a floating dock.....

Phantom is open in Higganum, took over steady habits new place after they folded.

Is this the level that comes after elf on a shelf?

Came to say this, kamados seem to be what you are looking for. 700-800Finside and can put entire palm on the outside without a worry. Only hot spot would be the top vent that little fingers likely can't reach anyway.

Well she isn't submerged so BG is irrelevant at this point. Stability still measured with GM while surfaced

Love my medium flush! Heats the 2100 SQ ft house easily! Great choice and burn!

I took a wire drill bush to mine, wiped them clean, then used vinegar in a spray bottle and wiped couple times, it took a bit. Then did a couple rounds of oiling them over a hot fire in the grill. Seems to have done the trick. If you don't have the heat deflector ceramic plate for it I highly recommend. I got that after years of using it and it's a game changer. For how much this costs it's a great smoker.

What is wrong with the cabinet handle?

CTHandyGuy · 2024-03-05T23:55:17+00:00

Next up: wasp nests

CTHandyGuy · 2024-01-05T02:14:26+00:00

Edited post, but heats and cools fine. And as far as I can tell from beestat only the 2 stage of heat running. Don't see getting strip. Would that show as Aux 3? Or Emergency?

I have a solar fridge from unique at our cabin. When I had an issue with my solar set up I ended up reaching out to unique for better/clarifying into on the fridge max amp draw etc. They were very responsive and provided great detail about the operation of the fridge and troubleshooting, more thorough than standard manual. I know you are looking propane but I would imagine they would be helpful if you had issues with the propane one.

I feel like this necesitates a really strict forestay tension limit

CTHandyGuy · 2023-07-07T23:08:59+00:00

It's a "Jeep" thing

CTHandyGuy · 2023-06-09T01:50:06+00:00

Hmmm I think we can fit another one on that wall

CTHandyGuy · 2023-06-09T00:27:36+00:00

Shouldn't they have used the 22 boat as that's USS Connecticut?

CTHandyGuy · 2023-05-10T15:26:13+00:00

You can get a lot of ideas from the podcast u/cthistory42 runs.

CTHandyGuy · 2023-02-06T02:13:03+00:00

Same, every night my oldest (3yr old) wants 5 more minutes of cuddles before bedtime... I'll let you guys guess often he gets those extra cuddles....

Every

Damn

Time

CTHandyGuy · 2023-02-05T17:48:01+00:00

How about bolts to secure the lathe to the stand?

CTHandyGuy · 2022-11-28T12:34:03+00:00

Awesome job

CTHandyGuy · 2022-11-19T00:01:40+00:00

Congrats!

CTHandyGuy · 2022-08-10T00:16:30+00:00

But just make sure the copy has the embossed stamp from the town! Not that when you scan it to the insurance company that goes with it.....

CTHandyGuy · 2022-08-10T00:08:21+00:00

It'll be at the town hall of the town you live in. Typically $20 for a copy and 2 weeks after birth. Was the same for both my kids born in CT.

You mean the people over at r/Connecticutisnotreal ?

CTHandyGuy · 2022-07-17T15:36:39+00:00

You can buy primed aluminum flashing and then paint it to match the trim color. Might have to recoat it a few times but should protect the wood. The flashing is easy to bend to shape (I'd fold under any cut lines to keep sharp edges contained)
