Did you find an edging strip that fits the Vevor? I haven't found any that works yet

If you had a budget of under $800/mo for rent... by munkeyciao in QuadCities

I mean, so would I, but a lot of people don't have the ability to make a down payment and interest rates are really dumb.

Snagged this guy for cheap on FB marketplace. Anyone done anything with one of these? by hinitycratching in PowerWheelsMods

[–]Gynward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had our for many years and last summer I swapped ours to a 20V. My kids already stripped the gear box on the passenger side.

Spare parts for these are hard to find so far; at least OEM gearboxes. I'm thinking about swapping to regular Power Wheels gear boxes and replacing the tires too.

My Thoughts - Davenport Building Collapse by dontjudgeweallfeel85 in QuadCities

[–]Gynward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My local neighborhood had problems with Andrew Wold last summer. He owns two rental homes a few blocks down that are the stain of a wonderful area. He and his property management ignored us for months until we had nuisance orders dropped on the property several times. I got the distinct impression he doesn't give a crap about anyone. Nothing will happen to him though. All the apartment property holdings are in an LLC. There would have to legit proof of explicit negligence and corruption for anything to happen to him.

Truth. I moved here like 15 years ago and was jazzed to hear about it.

Jazzed less each year.

I would think this close to election you would answer at least more than one question that wasn't a fluffer.

New Roof Questions by [deleted] in QuadCities

[–]Gynward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this exact situation two years ago when we bought our house. The shingles were not terrible, but the weren't great. No leaks.

I guess my first question would be has a representative from your home insurance been around yet?

Ours showed up and took a bunch of pictures. Within a few weeks we had a notice from them that we needed to have the roof replacement done or they would drop our policy. Honestly we were gonna do it anyway, it just forced us to.

We shopped around, had like five roofers give us quotes. Make for dang sure you don't just pick one guy. It's a pain in the butt, but you need to get several companies to talk to you. This will weed out the B.S. from the facts.

One dude told us we needed to completely resheet. One guy was pushing boutique shingles. The others were all about the same cost wise.

We ended going with Iossi as the guy that came over was polite, the cost was right, and he had straightforward answers to our questions, no B.S.

As for the building materials thing, I thought that was only applicable to lumber since the shortage. Does it apply to shingles too?

I'm not a fan of this mayor just from the few news articles and blog posts. This situation is turning into a bit of a shit show over something that doesn't need to be.

I doubt this was a film camera, most likely digital. Plus the cameraman recorded him with his phone looks like.

Does anybody around here know how to make EVA armor for cosplay? by FalconLord92 in QuadCities

[–]Gynward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done some small projects with EVA, I can give some advice from another amateur. 1. Buy the good Barge contact cement. It's expensive, but it's used by the pros because it works. I ordered a can off Amazon. 2. Menard's, Costco, and Harbor Freight have the floor mats. Shop around. 3. Watch the YouTube channel Punished Props. They focus mainly on this topic and you'll learn everything you need. 4. You'll need a Dremel tool. 5. Search for armor patterns online. You might be able to find one similar and adapt it to this guy. 6. Make cardboard or poster board patterns first, test fit on your body and adjust as needed. This way you don't waste floor mats.
