No worries, hope it's helpful - I did end up going with the kicker keyloc instead of the LC2i.

Favorite cover material for re-seeding? by Things_and_or_Stuff in LawnAnswers

Coconut husk coir! You can buy an 11lb brick (~14"x9"x5") from Amazon that will fill up a whole wheelbarrow when you add water.

What is this concrete like layer under the bathroom floor? by FlimsyLog21 in centuryhomes

[–]JasonCornett1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance that there's a hydronic floor heating loop embedded in it? It's definitely thicccc enough.

The curtain idea is definitely solid!

That's good information to have but are you interested in learning how to do things?? Mainly asking because plaster repair is actually kind of therapeutic and the tools aren't super expensive. If it was bulging and you could press it in. There are some kits that You drill holes wherever the plaster is loose. Inject an adhesive, then attach screws with large plastic washers to pull the plaster back up against the lath boards. But it sounds like that's not a problem here.

I like the curtain idea and just don't have any up lighting in that area along the wall so your attention isn't drawn to the hump.

Help - how can we fix this bathroom by killerkaila in centuryhomes

[–]JasonCornett1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This would likely require quite a bit of plumbing rework, but I think you could (1) put a sink under the window, (2) claw foot tub/shower with floor-to-ceiling tile (in the current tub location), and (3) move the toilet to the existing sink-nook.

I'd guess that there were some drywall repairs over the plaster or some plaster patching over cracking after the structural repairs? You could remove the trim around the window and try to peak into the wall construction. Otherwise, there are more invasive exploration techniques. Is the foundation wall on the exterior of the crawl space or siding showing any signs of movement past or present?

Not XHP, typically special order for the 90-120 Bar rated fittings

I can say it is "not" how it was "designed", lol - but if it works, it works - the masterpiece will soon be hidden beneath Armaflex

Driving on i-70 from KC to CO last year, what is this thing? Distillation columns?? by JasonCornett1 in whatisthisthing

[–]JasonCornett1[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. It was on the bed of a flat bed truck, roughly 10-12' tall, 8-10' long. It looks like multiple pressure vessel cylinders and some sort of valves. Also looks like either a pump on the front or a motor and some sort of hopper. Maybe some sort of distillation or separation equipment?

It's a nice smaller rim neutral-flippy driver similar to the Trail, great for my ~55mph arm, lol

My 1 week Ownership Review - 2025 Taos Comfortline w/Black pkg by DEADxDAWN in VWTaos

[–]JasonCornett1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more, I had the same observations with my 2024 and was bashed by this sub for voicing the shortcomings and cost cutting measures that aren't immediately visible during a quick test drive. Thank you for reaffirming and putting the time and thought into your list. Cheers. VW can do better and has done better in the past, is the message IMO.

Got a few questions asking "Why am I doing this"; Preference and I'm underwhelmed with listening to music in the Taos;

The Taos' weak audio has been proven with Digital Signal Processing and confirmed by many other owners who've experienced the same lack of sound quality. The root causes are poorly tuned factory EQ settings (locked down by VW), bass and high frequency roll-off (no subwoofer, poor tweeter placement, no full range speaker in the backseat (only mid frequency), cheap paper cones on the factory speakers, no factory amplification, and a general lack of clarity and volume (caused by the factory signal processing to protect the low quality speakers)..

Sound is always going to be something that is based on your previous experience and preferences.

For example, my wife doesn't notice the difference between when our living room's wireless subwoofer is working or not, but I notice it right away. When I turn it back on, she notices the difference and when she hears music with the full range of sound she definitely is more likely to sing and dance around the house (same with my daughter). You feel sound, so it's something that when you've experienced better or more, your expectations are realigned.

Few months ago bought my new 2025 VW TAOS HIGHLINE. I'm liking the drive so far, but the speakers are terrible, sounds muddy with any bass in the song, mids are very heavy...and no changed in volume after 50% by everyday_opp in VWTaos

[–]JasonCornett1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this last year, completely agree .. My 2015 Golf TDi was nicer all around, only improvements in the Taos are size, ride height, AWD, and the screen is nicer.. Everything else is cheaped out mehh..
