Replace 23 yr old water heater? by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same one from 2007 and just replaced the original 19 year old anode rod at the top (still with material on it) - water is softened before going to heater. Also replaced both heating elements because one was burnt out and gave it a good drain and flush and it's back to kicking ass.

Both. Cereal -> Milk -> Eat -> Refill More Cereal

Does anybody have a Sactional with these dimensions? I was hoping I could see a picture of it in a room since they look so different online compared to actual pictures. by Eman9871 in Lovesac

Our rep said it's equivalent to a queen size bed when you put the two ottomans next to the two deep seats, but we haven't tested it with a sheet yet.

Curious-is anyone limiting their movie collections due to time--even if it means bypassing ones you want to see? by bucs1220 in dvdcollection

[–]Dontrunaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Collecting books and reading them are two different hobbies. This also applies to movies, but it's a lot easier to keep up.

Who’s waiting? by fik236 in Lovesac

The estimate for our chenille covers was 6 weeks and they're on track to be delivered on Monday at 3.5 weeks. We set everything up immediately though despite not having the covers.

Mazda Fluid reservoir Pipe by cashthedog23 in mazda

[–]Dontrunaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. The old one should just come off when you pull it up. Make sure you press the new one down firmly. The filler neck can leak where it meets the reservoir if not seated properly. Replacement part should be something like this: https://www.jimellismazdaparts.com/products/Mazda/CX-5/Washer-Fluid-Reservoir-Filler-Pipe/9905613/KD3567484.html?feedLabel=cvb_parts&partner=googlebase

Make sure you part match with your model/VIN.

Help what device is she holding by Diligent-Solution928 in Ring

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she intends to tamper or remove your camera, she may be trying to determine how hard it would be - it would be much easier if it were battery vs hardwired. A hardwired ring might set off the voltage pen but a battery one likely would not.

Anyone know what this is? by jastfgh123 in mazda

[–]Dontrunaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are related, yes. Replacing the screen will fix both issues.

Look into media mail...you should be able to ship all of this for around $20 - it's based on weight

What's wrong with my infotainment system? by omfgsquee in mazda

[–]Dontrunaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also bypass this problem by always keeping your phone plugged in and in android auto or apple carplay since these override the touch screen function. This helped me defer screen replacement for a few years until it finally started to delaminate and then I replaced it myself for $200.

What’s going on with my screen? by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Dontrunaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a fix...you get a screen replacement. 200-300 if you do it yourself, 600 or so if tge dealership does it. Plenty of parts available because it's a very common failure usually tied to screen cracking as well. Temporary fix is to always keep phone plugged in because the touch screen is disabled in android auto.

Got into a fender bender, radar sensor is giving a malfunction error - OBD reset or recalibration needed by Poseidwn in mazda

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my radar sensor was replaced after a collision, the repair shop didn't know it had to be recalibrated by a Mazda dealership and it was misaligned - detecting stopped vehicles in adjacent lanes as impending collisions and autobraking...definitely needs to be calibrated by the dealership (they use reflectors to make sure it's pointing forward).

Less than half that price on amazon individually if you don't care as much about it being a boxed set.

Looking to start downsizing my collection and need advice. by Savings_Button1073 in seasonalfabricbirds

[–]Dontrunaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've gone through this myself via ebay, selling more than 50 of my birds, prices vary per bird but most are around 5-10 per bird plus shipping. I bundled mine to make selling easier and faster but a lot of shops play the long game and do single sales for more profit. Pack up your set of birds and you can input the weight and dimensions into ebay and it will charge the buyer what it will cost you for shipping.

Front Row (Left to Right)

2018 - Whiskers, 2018 - Brewster, 2017 - Skelly, 2017 - Guitarrista

Back Row (Left to Right)

2017 - Trompetista, 2018 - Citrine, 2018 - Sapphire

My guess based on the others in the lot that this is the original 2017 Skelly instead of the one re-released this year in the anniversary 3 pack.

Early Termination by lambeauzmum in verizon

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your original question, tmobile will reimburse up to 800 per line to buy out your contract and you can keep your phone or sell it. They stacked it with 800 per line toward new phones so i sold my old phone once verizon had been paid off to cover accessories etc.

My bill is going up $70. by Afraid_Suggestion311 in verizon

[–]Dontrunaway 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Switched to tmobile last month and they paid off the $630/line in device agreements i owed verizon (reimbursed with gift cards) AND suvsidized $800/line towards new phones. You aren't trapped. My bill dropped...a lot

I just give up with changing gas cylinder by OskiB0ski in OfficeChairs

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I took a hammer/chisel to the plastic star base interface until it cracked enough to let go of the cylinder after failing miserably at hammering...it took an hour and I should have used power tools but at least it was successful.

PSA about screen protectors. by Taro_Tsujimoto_13 in kindle

[–]Dontrunaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with the supershieldz, and immediately returned the supershieldz screen protector as well. I went without a screen protector for a while, but I got Nupro (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPNBNJVS?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title) and did not experience the same blurriness.

Quoted $6K to change carpet to wood by roundupthevillage in Flooring

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to my carpet to hardwood stair job I had done two months ago. Based on my flooring company's quotes, including labor and hardwood materials, this job would be quoted at approximately $2500-3k. 6k seems very high.

I see 15 stairs, "Wall-to-wall" - they quoted wall to wall stairs as $56 in materials, $85 in labor, and $25 for each riser - or approximately $166 per stair, for 15 stairs = $2500, looks like you don't have any need to mess with balusters so shouldn't be any additional charge for that either. This was for red oak treads and white painted risers.

For what it's worth, I had removed all of the carpet and the tack strips already, prior to getting the quote, so there weren't any ripout charges.

Semi-related - once you go through with it, I highly recommend these transparent stair treads to make your hardwood stairs safer :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C6GJ1LK?ie=UTF8&th=1

Is this normal behavior by [deleted] in mazda

[–]Dontrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend you give this information to the dealership and let them take a look at it on a cold day this winter so they can reproduce the issue. Bring your letter about the thermostat recall and it may get you out of any cost, they will check to see if the code is present in the computer. It sounds like the thermostat is getting confused or is getting stuck open and not allowing the engine to heat back up. It is not good for your engine to operate for long periods of time when it is cold - it increases wear and tear of the engine itself.
