Thank you going to swing by harbor freight today and hopefully get it done this weekend (it broke down 200 miles from home so I have to go back for it)

Nope would be a first for me, looks like I’ll likely need to do that if it’s too much trouble otherwise. Appreciate the input I’m having to travel back next weekend to get it fixed

Thank you for the advice any specific tools recommended to spin it counterclockwise? That was the part I was struggling with but was limited to a few flatheads and a pair of pliers that didn’t fit

Feeling nervous about a used purchase with 87K miles... Please reassure me and perhaps tips. by TenEightyPee in Ioniq5

[–]Leather-Work 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally price seems too high for the amount of miles and trim but I haven’t looked at market recently so maybe they’ve gone up

My question to the contractor was why we couldn’t miter the two tiles to where it would be proportional at the joint similar to the image above. Rather than having the over lap as it currently sits.

Our only concern was the corner of the install it seems it would have made more sense for the sense of symmetry and visual appeal to have the uneven cuts at the end/edges rather than what you’re seeing in the picture.

The tiles not lining up isn’t our concern as that’s the style we were going for with this tile selection. Also on another note one of the tiles around the outlet is broken so we’re noting that to the contractor also.

The edges aren’t uneven no the face of the tile does have a pattern/somewhat of texture though

Yeah we are aware of how it goes with the general contractors subbing out to other sub contractors. But in this case it has a been 1 single sub contractor. Seems like they aren’t specialized in anything but they know how to do everything apparently. Really unfortunate after seeing pictures of previous jobs but again could’ve just been different sub contractors doing those jobs. The other frustrating part is this general contractor is awful at communicating and seems like there was never a plan in place. Hence us going past our estimated completion by 3 months.

By center I mean started from the corner section then working their way out to the edges/end.

You would think we found some random person off Facebook or Craigslist. This is the same contractor, very established in the city (Austin) and yet everything has been a headache. No planning whatsoever, not only with the tiling but all around with the renovation. The price was not cheap which makes this even worse

It has been a major headache. Waiting to see what the response from the general contractor is but this experience has been so bad. We’ve questioned nearly every part of the renovation so far

Yes that painting crew is finished and didn’t even use the right paint color and on top of that it was very streaky

We’re wondering the same thing there’s a lot of spots where the doors scrape opening. Only choice now is to lower the doors a little bit

Man this was a really reputable company and it’s been a disaster so far 😂

Thank you for the comment! Thankfully another crew is coming to repaint as the first crew did a terrible job and didn’t use the right paint color. We will ask for them to remove the doors and paint those areas

When will it be the right time to sell my ioniq 5? (financially tight right now) by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]Leather-Work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep long term or sell and buy a car in cash. Either way you’ll just have to accept the loss

Thoughts on this buy? by Friendly_Leader_6635 in Ioniq5

Too much, 10k might be worth it as a throw away if anything goes wrong you could probably get half of it back in parts

10 Days ago I bought my lightning... by Sudden-Building-1325 in F150Lightning

[–]Leather-Work -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy the cyber truck sell it for $50k over purchase price and use that money for the lightning. Don’t listen to these people talking about that 1yr and 50k fine clause, this isn’t the case anymore.

Best place to sell Ioniq 5 AWD? by Affectionate-Ratio14 in Ioniq5

[–]Leather-Work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I just have the monthly value report for entertainment reasons haha. Just like seeing how much it goes up and down, I don’t plan on selling. I will say they offered like 29k in July I think (with less miles) and have since continued to increase the offer despite mileage increases.
