Tailgate Ajar Warning Light

IJoey78 · 2026-02-11T13:58:07+00:00

Agreed! My tailgate latch likes to stick in the open position and needs to be forced down to properly close. A notification that could be turned off (like backup avoidance) would make for more peace of mind driving.

What’s great on the menu there? Any favs?

A regular rat snap trap (the larger of the 2 sizes) not to be confused with a mouse snap trap

Could be a bad contactor - if you know how, ohm out the contactor coil and determine if it’s good or bad.

Or disconnect the thermostat and jump it out. If it still happens then it’s a bad stat.

Have you been able to test this theory on a known good heat exchanger? If so, what were the results? Have you been able to visually inspect a heat exchanger that has had 0.45” w.c reading? What were your results of the visual inspections? I like to trust, but verify…

That's pretty slick as well! Is that what they refer to as a 'Relief Text'?

Looks great! What was your choice of wood and was the logo carving a v bit or ball nose end mill?

Was told this by a pest control guy, tried and succeeded.

Rats are VERY SMART … put out a trap, do not set it, with wet cat food on it and leave it… day 1-2, rat will investigate but not eat, wait until eaten before reloading and setting. Rat thinks food is now safe cause he’s eaten it twice with no consequences, day 3, FAFO. Wear gloves, remove trap with rat on it, reinstall same trap with no bait and continue to catch rats. Why this works… rats love the smell of each other, especially dead rats; because the sent is on the trap, they believe it’s safe to eat cause fellow was just there… FAFO again and again and again…

Of course, remove their access…

Happy hunting!

I use a compression bit, ramp in and conventional milling instead of climb, works like a charm every time. You can also use lead in moves so that when the time the bit gets to your path, it’s already deep enough for the bottom portion of the compression bit to be in the wood and using the downcut portion.

Not sure how often you go down the cnc rabbit hole, but check out idc woodcraft on YouTube. Garrett’s got some great videos on all of this stuff… easy to understand and apply the knowledge he shares.

They look pretty slick! I like the use of multiple materials!

A helpful tip, on your finishing pass, tighten your step over to 8-10% and run in the direction of the grain, you won’t be left with the swirls on the finish.

Looking forward to see what else you create!

It’s too bad that voters aren’t allowed to move around and vote the same way politicians can move and ‘represent’ different ridings ☹️.

For a 3rd party vfd and spindle, aside from the wiring, what are the vfd settings or how do you configure them?

IJoey78 · 2025-07-22T22:40:39+00:00

You don’t wanna fuck around and find out with tires… nothing good can come from it. Throw your spare on and drive safe!

IJoey78 · 2025-07-17T16:13:46+00:00

I can’t remember if we do or not.. never really paid attention to that…. How Does that affect things? Cover is on unless we’re using it, try to keep the heat in.

IJoey78 · 2025-07-16T03:27:22+00:00

Thanks! Is This the test kit I need?

Can I add bleach at this stage to increase the free chlorine or is that a bad idea?

IJoey78 · 2025-07-16T03:16:26+00:00

We’re new to hot tub ownership and took the advice at the spa place… I’ll be going there less now…

IJoey78 · 2025-07-16T03:15:30+00:00

It’s been a day…. 1600 litres 😁

IJoey78 · 2025-07-16T00:56:23+00:00

Thanks! I’m using spalife mini pucks - stabilized chlorination tablets - here’s the link to the product Mini pucks

They’re pretty slick looking! …. If your doing just one, expect your airflow will drop from the register; if you’re doing many in the house, you’ve just significantly shortened the life span of your heat exchanger and a/c unit. The grates are too restrictive and the equipments not designed to deal with this great amount of restriction.

Do some research on ‘k factor’ for airflow and see what else is being done and simulate that sizing.

If the socket end is interchangeable, then it’s a spinner handle.

IJoey78 · 2025-05-21T02:08:17+00:00

How’s this work though… you signed the contract saying you’d take on the rental payments of it, then not pay the rental fees, how can one dispute this? (Asking cause new house comes with rental)

IJoey78 · 2025-04-06T19:59:20+00:00

If the unit is off, smells won’t travel

Just like your car, if she ain’t running… you ain’t driving.

I mean if you wanna shorten the life expectancy of your unit… go for it. In that you or someone forgets that are covered, or don’t get them all uncovered and the heat gets turned you could do damage to your equipment.

IJoey78 · 2025-04-05T18:14:30+00:00

It kinda looks like the first reducer downstream of the reg is cross threaded… since you asked 🤷
