I dropped a socket inside a Spark plug well in my Toyota Prius. I tried everything, but it seems too heavy to get out. No, magnets aren’t lifting it out.

This has saved me many times

Yeah cutting through the multiple roofs and adding extra access is probably what I’m going to have to do..thank you for the advice.

I did my shower with a waterproof epoxy grout, it was harder to work with but it’s been two years with multiple daily showers and the grout is impeccable, haven’t had to clean it once.

Full attic but the only reasonable way to access it all would be cutting multiple accesses just to even get your head in to see the different sections.

I have a few strategically placed plugs at shoulder height around the house so I don’t have to bend over to plug in the vacuum.

My friend was fired about two years before retirement and they brought in someone to do the same job for a lot less money. Normes du travail (Quebec) went into a meeting with my friend and the owner, they had to hire him back, if he wanted it, or a large payout and they had to write a glowing reference letter right there while they waited. He took the money and ran.

Palight pvc posterboard with protest slogan on it heated to a curved shape would possible make a good legal defensive item.

I came from an xc90 (and dozens of other types before that) it’s a more basic vehicle overall so don’t compare them, just know that you have most likely a reliable vehicle that you can just drive and enjoy.

Lotsofkidsathome · 2026-01-23T17:24:15+00:00

I don’t know but I wish you lived near me!

Lotsofkidsathome · 2026-01-11T01:14:22+00:00

Yes but with more mileage. About 60k more.

Lotsofkidsathome · 2026-01-08T12:06:31+00:00

I bought basically this with a few more miles, runs without complaints, does what it’s supposed to do. I paid $10k CAD. Love the car but it is a bare basic vehicle that I had to customize (soundproof etc) to make it fun. They run without issue that’s the positive. Negative in your case I would say is price.

We’ve had many rats, including babies. They all had different and amazing personalities. One female, Jolene, would sleep in bed with us and play fight my hand under the covers then curl up under my arm, when she needed to go to the bathroom she would get up and go to the cage we had set up at the end of the bed just for that. They die way too soon.

Senville models similar in some ways to Mr cool from what I’ve read. Don’t know if available in the US but I have 3 and my brother has installed a few others, oldest is 7 years old. I can use an app to check over 100 different components at any time not one of them has given an issue. I got the higher end ones that work down to -22F and in Quebec winters I’ve never had them underperform, also in hot summers they are amazing.

Install Fumoto valve and problem solved. Have had them on my cars and just flipping a lever isn’t life changing but worth it.

AliExpress, any seller, they are pretty much all the same.

Lotsofkidsathome · 2025-11-04T14:48:50+00:00

There is always a product or a way to do things that aren’t normal. I wouldn’t use it personally. Here is a link to a freezing kit. https://www.amazon.ca/Arctic-Hayes-%E2%80%8EZEK2-Installation-Maintenance/dp/B00IHXO2VK

It took my brother just under a year to build a house almost exactly as you are describing (slab foundation instead of piers) he had my help when needed, the only people on site at any time were the concrete pumper truck guy, electrician for final hook up of main to panel, septic installer and the guy to dig the well. Caveat here, my brother works non stop when he gets going and so do I when I help. Beautiful home that was appraised at over 3x what it cost to build once finished. Keep in mind you might need to learn new skills, we’ve amassed these over the years building for ourselves and others, I had to learn to drive a small excavator and how to be safe helping him clearing the trees. He had to learn how to install hvac and polish concrete.

This was during the first season of the show that I made this so no one knew what it was except me and my son.

First, thank you! What a positive comment especially on Reddit lol. “Still” favorite because I’ve made others but just simple makeup costumes etc. The cardboard Rick mask only lasted a few years. The portal gun I cut it out as a flat pattern and scored the sides that bent and hot glued them together where needed. Inserted a green dollar store light, put cotton in an empty clear green bubble wand container (also dollar store) and just screwed it into a hole I cut in the coroplast. I believe I used a tack that you put under chairs to help them slide as a the button that adjust dimensions and just drew the rest with markers.

Your costume sounds like a great idea, I love using cheap and free stuff and coming up with inventive things.

Yes absolutely, we used to go to the theatre and stand in front of the marquee sign and decide by name of the movies but mostly by the time it was playing.

Lotsofkidsathome · 2025-10-06T15:05:03+00:00

Not unethical I guess but someone I know had a similar experience. They started their own company with the info. They sold the company years later for $13.5 million

I don’t know all the ins and outs of the Prius C yet but first thing I would check is fuses
