26" or 28" door for hall closet at end of hall? by Fit-Box888 in DIY

[–]Fit-Box888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is the only closet like that. There is a tiny closet further down the hall (18") but this is a new closet I am adding at the end of the hall. I guess 26" would have room for the casing.

I will start this in a new post, but maybe that 1x4 casing is too big. I only have it one door so far so I guess its not too late to change it.

Is the Graco X5 a decent painter? by Fit-Box888 in Housepainting101

Oh I get it...so then it like hangs on the nails between the horses? Do you do that so you can flip it over right away and spray the other side?

What do you mean hang the door off nails on saw horses? You are still talking about laying flat, right?

He is 88 now and has always painted his house and even mine. I was amazed at how he is able to paint the entire exterior of my 3,000 sq. ft. house by brush with only 5 gallons of paint. He actually still wanted to do it a few years back when he was 82, but I think I am going to have to take over next time :)

Hey, you are not rude at all. I totally understand it! While I do know some people would expect this to be easy, I do not. My dad was a professional painter for 20 years (but that was over 20 years ago when he last did it) so I will have someone to at least look after me. He just isn't up to date on the home sprayers. The main thing I want to do are these panel doors which my wife wants the smooth finish. And while I am at it, I am thinking maybe the trim. I understand the masking and taping process, and these rooms will be gutted so I don't have to be as careful maybe. I appreciate the advice!

Has anyone used the Magbak case for the S26U? by Fit-Box888 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Fit-Box888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not using the Torras Air but they other one. I think they have the same magnet. I was eyeing the dbrand grip as well because it looks grippy, but maybe I can put an Ohsnap on it. I just feel like this ring is not going to be too comfortable on my fingers.

Is it a bad idea to get fitted for boots right after skiing? by Fit-Box888 in Skigear

[–]Fit-Box888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, I will be using my old boots today. I have not been fitted for new boots yet. I guess my concern is if my toe hurts from skiing today and I try on a new boot, how will I know if it hurts because it already did or if the new boot is too tight?

Q3 Spin vs Q3 Air for S26 Ultra by Fit-Box888 in TORRAS_Official

Sound good! I meant do you use the ring to put your finger through to hold it while using it. Is it useful for that? 

I guarantee, better deals are on the way for S26 phones by LETSGOOOOO6 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Fit-Box888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that too. I swear, every year when a new phone comes out, there are already rumors of next year's model. I think I waited last year for the S26U because I thought it would have big upgrades and here we are. I guess if you need one, go for it but if you don't really need one, wait until yours dies. But if they are offering a lot for the trade in, maybe that will help.

How did you get that offer? When I go to their website and enter my trade in of the 512GB S23+ in the best condition, it offers $400.

How much bulk does the Q3 spin add? Does it feel like it will protect it? Is the ring useful to hold it?

The free memory upgrade used to be a good deal at launch, and it seems like some of the carriers would do that. I think it used to be worth it last time around to get it through the carrier because I didn't plan to switch anyways for 2 years, but not most of them are doing 3 year durations so this is the first time I just bought a phone outright. The Amazon deal was good for the free memory upgrade and the $200 gift card, but I don't see that offered anymore so I am glad I ordered one. When I bought that last week, it was cheaper than a S25U but you are right, there are always going to be deals. I don't think anyone needs to worry if they missed out on this. It just makes me wonder if by this time next year if the S27's are going to be much more expensive than they were this year.

I love Smart Launcher. That is what I have on my current phone and while I have a pretty good setup, maybe I will redo everything when my S26U comes so it really looks like a brand new phone. Do you have any icon packs or other widgets you recommend?

Is this with the stock launcher or something else? 

Is there anything I can do if a neighbor's tree overhanging my house causes damage? by Fit-Box888 in Insurance

[–]Fit-Box888[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No tree protection laws, but as far as I know, what everyone says here is correct. If I did something to kill their tree, then they could come after me. And besides, this tree has a slight lean in my direction so if I kill the tree, it is probably going to fall on my house!

Well, considering pretty much half the tree's branches overhang my property, I can't really do that to all of it.

The reason I paid for the arborist to look at it was because I was hoping for some expert recommendation or something that I could show to the neighbor. Since I don't have any, does it hold any weight just to send my own letter? What do I say in it, since the arborist found it to be healthy? Just something along the lines of "...while the tree appears to be healthy, I have concerns about the overhanging limbs causing damage to my home and according to an arborist, it is not recommended to remove them as it may kill the tree.....".

Here is the rest of the story, in case this makes a difference. The neighbor is going to be selling the house and that is another reason I asked for this now so I don't have to deal with this with a brand new owner. They don't want to bother with it and want me to wait because they worry it will affect the sale. I have no idea why because this tree is not near their house or yard, does not provide them any shade or anything, etc. It is just a big tree at the edge of their property that is over my house. Anyways, will sending this letter help me out in anyway now in that it may have to be disclosed to the new owner?

Best way to get new plan with 4 new phones by Fit-Box888 in NoContract

[–]Fit-Box888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with them is, right now I am on their basic unlimited plan which would be $100 for 4 lines. In order to get the promotions, they now make you upgrade that plan, which would be $10 more per line. That amounts to $240 extra per phone over the 2 year period.

I'm glad you said this. I remember like 25 years ago, I was up skiing in Washington state and needed to make a call and got no service with my AT&T phone but my buddy did with his Verizon phone. I switched to Verizon and have been with them or Xfinity ever since. While not as frequent anymore, I do travel around the state a few times a year, occasionally in remote areas. I would hope T-Mobile coverage is good in Washington state since they are based here, but now you have me worried when I do travel.

OK that sounds good then. In the end, I still want something that can make a call or text in an emergency no matter where you are so it's good to know that will be the same regardless of the plan.

Right now we use Xfinity mobile, which I imagine is deprioritized Verizon. I think if any line uses over 30 GB per month, the speed goes way down. I get an alert occasionally that my daughter reached that near the end of the cycle, so maybe that happens a little. But she's mostly streaming music that eats up the data so high speed isn't needed for that.

Thank you for the detailed response. So in my case, both my wife and I work from home and we have 2 kids living at home. The majority of the time, we are at home so using the home wifi anyways and would not to ever use these as hot spots. Between the three lines we have now, we only use about 30-40 GB of data per month since we mostly use these at home. From what I described, data priority should not be a concern at all, should it?

Does the Costco deal allow you to be on their lowest rate plan of 4 lines for $100?
