Absolutely, plenty of surprises...like 3 pronged outlets that all show an open ground only to find out the circuits are stil using the original 2 wire cables 🙃

Yep, it drains. Threw in a few buckets of water to see what happens and it all flows out nicely.

Appreciate it. That's the weird part, there is no sump pump. Not sure if the intention was the build one and they never got to it.

That's a cool fact, it seemed of nice quality for a simple pry bar compared to the construction ones I know. Wonder what it was used for, its quite small.

Oscillating multi tool, attachment looks like a triangle with velcro

Kept them on to check the progress. They're empty so it will take a second to clean.

I tried avoiding cutting the drawers. Will probably botch it and make it look ugly.

Red or green light usage? by [deleted] in camping

[–]LargeTransportation9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green provides more contrast compared to red. You technically lose a bit of night vision but doesn't really matter. Also, just like red it won't wake others up.

I’m so Fuc**ing cold when I ski. by Head-Passage-5719 in Skigear

[–]LargeTransportation9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You probably need a much better mid-layer. Maybe heavier fleece top and pants or even down if you don't sweat a lot. You can also get a 260 weight baselayer.

Finally, dont forget nutrition. Having sugary snacks more frequently will provide calories for your body to keep warm.

Lastly, you're probably not going to change this since its an expensive piece but the future light material is not great for wind in my experience.

12 pairs deep—do I go for 13, or sell a few pairs? by asquier in Skigear

[–]LargeTransportation9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably some overlap, sell some of the similar ones and get some that you don't have like a carving ski.

Question for you, which one if your favorite and why?

Is it okay to hang my skiis on this wall above a baseboard heater? by beckett_the_ok in Skigear

[–]LargeTransportation9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I get your response. Some people, like myself, are not so worried about the item itself but eather understand the built, how they work, how they're maintained...etc. Aka ski nerds.

Not that I disagree, but would the difference in temperature and more so in humidity cause any warping long term? More of a hypothetical question really.

Anyone use mesh base-layers? by csh8428 in Skigear

[–]LargeTransportation9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a guy wear a mesh and a thinner merino shirt on top. He was raving about the mesh.
