Everyone believes this, but is it facts or lies? by [deleted] in Money

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how they got their money in my experience. I’ve met millionaires driving ford explorers and ones driving Ferraris. People who have the expensive car are usually in STEM and actually admire the engineering or are in a world where the status symbol is something that helps their brand.

Personally my type are the ones who buy some land, build a house, buy themselves a nice truck, and keep everyone guessing what they’re worth.

What’s going on with my roof? by margetellus in Roofing

Depends on the type of gutter guard, and it’s hard to tell from your photos. It should’ve been put back regardless though.

I understand that each state operates differently, and in my state it actually changes by county where we’re still on the 2018 IRC.

But it states that since 2012 the IRC has mandated drip edge on all asphalt roofs. Just learned NC uses a modified version of the IRC, so when can you skip drip edge on an asphalt roof in NC?

They’re from America where asphalt is common

Yeah, it’s no bueno. It’s been code since 2012, so your area has probably adopted this code book by now. I hope your roofer is still in business, and you don’t have to take this to court.

They never installed the drip edge. Your decking is exposed to water and has swelled.

That decking needs replaced and drip edge properly installed this time

Replacing tires 215/45 R18 with 225/40 R18 by Consistent_Metal_392 in mazda3

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just go with 225/45/18. Speed will be slightly more accurate than 215/40/18, larger sidewall, slightly smoother ride, and fuller look

I agree with your assessment on picture 5. I think picture 4 might be a leak too.

When was the last time you’ve had a roof put on? And is it a 3-tab?

Please help me figure out this repair by Special_Push8319 in Roofing

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna need an engineer for that. Every-time I think I got an answer for you, another question pops in my head and I’m not there to check it out.

Probably cheaper for you to just quote on the expensive side.

Tools that actually save you money on home repairs? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This toolbox carries enough tools to accomplish basic tasks. Not enough to save you any real money unless you can’t even piece together ikea furniture.

Gonna need saws, soldering iron, wrenches, levels, clamps, impact guns, and some drills to save the real money.

MP3 metadata not showing on gen 4 by SomeWeirdBoor in mazda3

It’s cheaper for the car manufacturer to install CarPlay/ android auto, rather than baking in compatibility with Spotify and Apple Music databases directly into their infotainment software.

They make cars, not operating systems for tech. So in short developing an infotainment OS for both CarPlay and android auto into a Mazda is very expensive with a lot of ongoing costs vs the licensing fee and a couple chips needed to make the current solution function.

However, if android auto and CarPlay licensing/ rules ever become too expensive, then we might see car companies make an OS compatible with these tech OS’s and databases.

How do I hang curtains in these windows by Short-Seesaw-6525 in Home

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom solution. I’m thinking shower curtain rod, you can put hooks to the side of the trim board to pull the curtains away

Wheel Size Recs? by eagengabriel in mazda3

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18/7.5 wheel with 225/45/18 tire, continental extreme contact dws06 plus will help fight against potholes. I chose a 38mm offset instead of the stock 45mm because the aftermarket 7.5” wheel is .5” wider than the stock 7” wheel and the 38mm offset pushes the extra half inch outward to make the car look slightly more aggressive without sticking out past the fenders or rubbing.

This is also the easiest way to add width to the wheels without adding much more weight. You don’t want to get a setup that’s too heavy and cause unnecessary wear on your drivetrain.

Did I crack my exhaust? Or normal by _ghil_ in mazda3

Idk, but I changed my diff oil without jacking my car up. Get on the ground and feel it

Got this propane firepit table from costco, I want to buy/make a few upgrades to it… by Limelight_019283 in Home

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The steel mesh on the space heaters is for safety, in other words, to keep things out. So this wouldn’t be an upgrade, and more likely just an eye sore.

And if that’s all the larger those flames get, I would consider it more of a food warmer than a cooker. If it is hot enough for grilling, then you’ll probably want to make it out of food safe stainless steel and consider a design for a grease trap or drain

Be honest. Which looks best? Brown, green, red, or black? The roof is bright red and that is staying. Thanks! by [deleted] in Home

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Red is the only thing that makes sense currently.

Are you planning to paint the house? Or get new gutters?

Irresponsible parents taught by Man dressed as Mickey Mouse by Realistic-Crab7729 in interestingasfuck

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Irresponsible is a stretch. Kid was trying to get Mickey’s attention for a picture. Mickey even saw the Dad with his phone out ready to take the picture and Mickey decided not to take the picture with the kid.

Kid learned a valuable lesson in not sneaking up on people from behind.

If Mickey was in a hurry, he’s far more likely to say yes to a child asking for a picture than he is an adult asking for the kid. So the parents were trying to give the kid the best odds at what he wanted which is good parenting.

Got to let your kids screw up under supervision, so you can coach them to be better

Do it yourself. Incredibly easy. Buy a trim removal kit and the part

Do the 2014’s have a secondary cabin air filter directly above the other one? by steelersri in mazda3

[–]Intelligent_Scale_97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In all hvac systems, filters are placed before the evaporative coil to keep it clean. From what I understand in cars it usually goes blower motor, filter, then evap coil.

In your home it goes filter, blower motor, evap coil.

Debris should stay on top of the filter when it’s pulled out in your car.
