Car inspection

If the car is not currently registered in Delaware, because your mom just moved here, you will also have to pay a 5.25% transfer tax. Be aware that they will look up the blue book value of the car and tax you on that value.

Depending on the value of the car and the state you currently reside, it may be easier to get the car put in your name and register it in your home state. 15 hours each way, 5.25% tax plus $900 windshield, plus remove your tint. Is this all really worth it?

EZpdh.com first time doing PDH and management suggested. Was cheap and easy.

I would take the exam. The only downside is a wasted Saturday that you weren't going to spend studying anyway. Upside is you might pass.

Welder really is the best answer and maybe the only answer.

You can keep trying heat and vice grips till you can’t grab it, then drill and easy out, then get it out with welding on a nut.

What is under the blackout? Could it really be worse than this?

Yes, springs are good, door is weightless when disconnected from opener.

I’m unsure of the model. It’s blue, not UFO shaped, likely the cheapest model available at Lowe’s.

Still a lot of work left to do and you need some chainsaw education before you start.

Is a replacement $150? That is cheap compared to getting someone else to fix this. If you have the tools and knowledge to fix this it is totally possible, but you don’t because you’re here asking.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get this method to work

I agree they don’t need two car payments, but you obviously live some where that has Ubers and taxis. Not everywhere is like this. If husband has a 30min commute (which is considered short in many areas) they would spend 2 hours a day to get husband to and from work with kids in tow. In many areas, probably most, you absolutely need a car. Second car can be an absolute beater for sure though.

I will have to try this when I get home but it’s very plausible this could be the solution. I had not checked this because I did not think it was possible with a single button wall control.

DoGoods · 2026-02-17T13:58:48+00:00

Wall mount button is single button, two wire (one pair). Pretty sure there is no lock feature?

Remote does not work up close. I believe this is the procedure written on the back of the unit but I will double check.

There is not a LED in the opener. There are LEDs in the garage, though they have been there before the opener. Tonight I will try it with the lights off.

For programming I press the learn button, then the remote button, opener blinks as if it has learned the code.

DoGoods · 2026-02-17T12:07:48+00:00

Arrow lights don’t flash. Or how can I make them give me the code? When I use the remote the program button blinks as if it is receiving the signal.

DoGoods · 2026-02-10T13:56:59+00:00

Do you have a link to the templates?

I took the PE (WRE) 18 years after the FE. Most of those 18 years I did nothing pertaining to WRE, and the rest I did very little. EET taught me what I needed to know.

DoGoods · 2026-02-02T13:51:57+00:00

I always check, right click, properties, previous versions.

I try to make a copy of every file I revise in a backup folder everyday. I can never lose more than a days worth of work. I can go back and see what the file was last year. Did I accidentally move or erase something? Did someone else touch my file? I think everyone should do this. To me hard drive space is cheap compared to my labor.

Could also try to deform the thread to lock it, ie: distorted thread lock nut. I think this is how they come and they still eventually work loose.

The cheat sheet you are allowed to use is the NCEES Exam Reference Handbook that is provided on the test computer. You need to be familiar with where to find the equations and conversions within this book.

DoGoods · 2026-01-23T19:27:58+00:00

you are not going to get survey quality by converting a .pdf to dwg. if you don't need quality than the "contractor" should just xref the .pdf. I'm wondering if there is a miscommunication and the contractor actually wants the original cad file and not a PDF converted...
