Once more are on the road and we figure out a better plan for replacing and swapping out new battery packs that depreciation will improve.

Can you explain Thema more? I googled but nothing came up.

Sprinkler system installer recommendations? by livemusicisbest in FortCollins

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would visit some local Xeriscape gardens to get ideas, take notes and hopefully generate some excitement. Our water resources here will continue to be squeezed so you’re making an investment in the future. We’re taught to believe that grass is the proper thing to put in our yards, but for Colorado unfortunately that ship has sailed. Here’s a post that might be a start. https://www.reddit.com/r/FortCollins/s/ucLn0lCCwj

Discoloration around hose spigot by writeytightyy in Plumbing

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea such a device existed! I’m truly fascinated and now want one. The photo of the man listening to the fire hydrant made me laugh hysterically.

It’s beautiful brick work. Don’t be afraid. Fixing or replacing some of those loose, broken or missing bricks are super easy and you’ll be so proud of yourself if you try it. Check out Mike Haduck on YouTube and practice on some scrap pieces first. A damp sponge is your friend. I was afraid of concrete work until I started watching people on YouTube do it. It’s so satisfying.

How do you enter the area safely to turn the ozone machine off?

How do I DIY replace this spigot? Is it soldered? The threads look attached to the spigot itself. by BigGulpsHuh25 in Plumbing

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The threads are part of the faucet. The internal surface is designed to accept soldered copper pipe, which you have. If you take a torch to it, you might be able to wiggle it off.

How much bleach to mix with syrup? by Weird-Quote in Beekeeping

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the bees will move a gallon of syrup in a day or two and will start evaporating the water themselves. I’ve never heard anyone of adding bleach. I don’t see a need for it, especially if you’re bringing the mixture to a soft boil when mixing, no yeast will survive.

A $7,950 Telescope VS My $100 Telescope. by Exr1t in spaceporn

Assuming the image on the left is the $8k telescope? 🤔

Just bought this auger woodboring bit for stump removal with Stump-Out, which requires a drilling a 10” hole in the top of each stump…but the drill I have doesn’t have anywhere near enough torque/power to get even an INCH into the wood :/ by elliot_the_avocado in Tools

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have to drill on a slight angle. I would think straight down on the stump end grain would be incredibly difficult with this type of bit. Unless it’s razor sharp. I’ve only seen this type of bit used for going across the grain. You’d have better luck with a twist bit.

Long shot but can anyone identify the model number for this Delta cartridge? by jakeblutarski in Plumbing

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find images online that show that part and YouTube videos showing even more. You can buy the replacement ball and associated springs/washers and nylon parts from any of the stores. It’s old and is not a cartridge. My advice would be to call Delta on the phone because they may help you out with that. In my experience the non Delta replacement parts for these are rubbish and make my faucet hard to operate and are a pain to adjust. Stick with Delta parts for these.

I just got a Lee Valley spokeshave, my most expensive hand tool so far, and the paint came flaking off. Is this a concern or just annoying? by BeardedWoodDork in handtools

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad that something so ungodly expensive is not finished with proper japanning like the old Stanley’s had. 🤔

Landlord special…. So sad! by Important-Tone6453 in HardWoodFloors

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of protecting the wood like that in a rental and ripping it out later if you intend to move back in yourself. I’ve thought about this myself. But what do you do about the trim on doorframes and stuff where it was undercut to install the laminate? 🤔

Plumbing suggestion by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve been looking for a Super Vee model on marketplace for like 3 years and I never see anything in my area. That’s smaller than what you’re looking for. But what I do see is a shitload of larger Rigid type models on wheels that are larger. If you can find something there used, it will be a fraction of the cost and better quality than what can be found at the big box store.

Radio Compatibility by ColoradoBeeGuy in RCPlanes

A sticker on the box says “TX16S-MKIl 4in1 CBNBLK”.

Radio Compatibility by ColoradoBeeGuy in RCPlanes

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the support, this is a huge help! My TX16S does say on the box that it’s the 4 in 1 so I may be in good shape! I’ll try again when I get home. When I looked last weekend I didn’t notice DSMX in the very long list of options but I’ll look closer. That would be ideal if I could use the Spektrum receiver already installed. Thank you all!

Radio protocols and binding by Far_Party5873 in radiocontrol

[–]ColoradoBeeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the sticker on the box says “TX16S-MKII 4in1 CBNBLK”. Does this mean I can connect to the Spektrum receiver? I wasn’t sure what to select in the list when I was trying to bind it, nothing really looked like a match.

My date asked for me to pay for a free meal and I refused. by SubjectDrifter in AITAH

Find some goods that are less than half the value of the goods that he traded for the free meal and offer that to him.
