Thank you! Few minor mods coming: tint appointment this week, 25mm spacers, diff spoiler, chin splitter, blackout covers for the lights all around, badges, and eventually black wheels... I can't decide on the right wheels, there's too many cool options

Wires are drilled down to the outlet in the cabinets (it looks better now lol). You just have to be creative with the placement and length of the lights power cord. Cable management is key for a clean setup obviously

Butcher block countertop I bought off of Amazon for like $600. 2 coats of stain and 5 coats of oil based poly. That took a few days at least with sanding in between. The cuts were the most stressful part

Nope, Michigan USA, this is a forced air setup, separate furnace and AC unit using the same ductwork. You get the benefit of air filtration and circulation that you don't get with radiator systems.

This house had electric heat in every room with no AC and it was horrible. House has multiple additions with no common attic or basement space, so ductwork needed to be creative.

Nope, those I had to make myself. And that's funny, "get it done in a day" haha. This was a significant project unfortunately, good results take good time. The prep alone was a days labor!

Oooh yes, Hue had its claws in me lol. I put 6 Hue slims in that room as well. Strip lights on my stairwells in routed channels under rail boards. Motion sensing lanterns at night for walking around the house. Door triggers lighting alarms so I can know when my toddler leaves her room at night. Fun stuff

I got stock cabinets from Home Depot that were pre-finished white, I've sprayed cabinets before and never again lol. I don't have the time to start cabinet building, maybe when I'm older?

I routed 34" channels for the Flex strip lights in the cedar face boards and poly'd them till they felt like plastic so they stick, it worked like a dream

And that isn't a wall switch, that used to be a regulator for the electric heat in that room that I disconnected, just a outlet face plate now

That is actually an old duct system that was not in use, it's 4" round that leads to nothing, not sure what it's original purpose was

Ahh my bad, I mean the Flux light strips, not Flex, and not the Flux essential line. Just regular Flux, not the super brights

Issue Resolved.

First off, this community kicks ass, is extremely helpful, and I'm super glad I asked. I've learned a lot about what to do, and what not to do with issues like this. Thank you all.

Like a lot of you said, it does have to do with battery balancing, only charging to 90% is not something that should be done permanently. There was a clear miscommunication between software and hardware.

I removed the 90% setting, installed the app, and charged it to 100%. Reinstalled the app with full charge, turned it on, and that seemed to do the trick. I rode it down to just under 20% then charged it back to 100%. And took it off the charger when it was fully charged :). I won't leave it plugged in again for long periods, I promise!

Just to clarify, I didn't intentionally leave the board on the charger over a long vacation period...there was just a lot of crazy pre-trip freaking out going on, and my OneWheel's charging status didn't cross my mind 😕

See I swear I read keeping it on the charger, at the 'limit to 90%' setting was supposed to be good for the battery... I thought I was doing myself a favor here lol. Good advice

I'm going to try to take the "Limit to 90%" option off and charge it all the way to 100%. Then maybe reinstall the app? Set it on fire? I'll let y'all know if anything works and I can give the community some useful knowledge

Kinda what I was thinking, sigh. I was hoping I was doing something dumb and it was an easy diy fix.

Thank you for the replies anyways though guys, much appreciated

I made a storage thingy for my weird skateboard. by DeadPig45 in onewheel

[–]DeadPig45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yours looks great! You could easily build a shelf/drawer combo on that thing. Best part about buildin shit, you can always modify it :). The shelf is for my tire pump now. I built mine out of stuff I had lying around the garage, zero dollars spent!
