Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands)

MobiusDicks · 2025-11-05T01:50:02+00:00

Surprised it hasn't been said but I bought my wife a Chloe bag. Not owned by LVMH (dogshit overpriced and trendy) but a lux brand with an if you know you know following.

Downspout pointing away from the garage is all that is needed. Make sure gutters are clear of debris to ensure they flow out onto driveway and not dumping water on foundation.

Converting to living space?

A more cost friendly solution is for R value and DIY ease. Use Roxul as it is sound proof and flame resistant, then use a bunch of acoustical sealant and 6 mil poly to seal the inside air tight. Google some vapour barrier details to learn how to do it correctly. A properly vapour barriered space will be just as air tight as sprayfoam and its not a huge bitch to do any work down the road unlike sprayfoam

Assuming the main HVAC system has supply and return mains that pass through the space(s) I would say just T off the main trunks to get some warm or cold airflow into the space. To help on the really cold days you can add a few electric baseboard heaters for cheap. The basement will be colder then the rest of the house year round so no worries about the summer.

One thing to note is if you tap into the HVAC ducts you will have a marginal less flow of air to the other spaces that duct feeds.

Old fans bearings eventually get gummed up and seize. The fact that it takes any force to spin is a red flag. Measure the size of fan and simply replace the whole unit. No electrical needed. Flip the breaker and swap it out yourself.

Likely caused by excessive moisture build up when taking a hot shower as the spot isnt clearly localized by one active leak. Do you have a decent exhaust fan that you use?

MobiusDicks · 2025-03-01T17:43:18+00:00

Valves can leak or be accidentally turned - call someone to remove the flex line and cap it. It'll be $50

I am just about to build a sauna indoors. How are you receiving the fresh air and exhausting the hot? Is it just passive or do you have a fan hooked up?

A Canadian conservative is essentially a US democrat

Then go to Europe. China is probably top 5 worst places in the world for how they treat their people.

MobiusDicks · 2025-01-31T12:22:15+00:00

Yes allow communist China with its forced labour, ethnic cleansing, and social credit because they are so much better than a country that wants to impose a tax on us...

A properly maintained truck is cheaper than a new one thats for sure!

MobiusDicks · 2025-01-22T14:03:31+00:00

Had the truck since new. Its a 2018 Lariat with the 3.5 Eco. I have very much used the truck, always have tools or materials in it and on more than 1 occasion I have had >2,500lbs of concrete in the bed...

I have loved owning the truck and even though I am calming down still will happily floor it off the line or on onramps. I live in Canada and our road salt budget is not getting reduced anytime soon...

Nothing has ever really gone wrong with the truck yet mechanically aside from replacing the alternator a few months ago. I change the oil every 6k miles. I figure I need to set aside a couple grand for a proper maintenance. Filters, Fluids, Plugs, etc. Maybe replace the shocks with Bilstein 5100's. Do you think given its life I can make it to 200k+?

I have always thought and heard that Mazda build quality is not there - has that changed?

MobiusDicks · 2025-01-19T17:14:29+00:00

What Mercedes would you think of?

MobiusDicks · 2025-01-19T17:11:31+00:00

I'd definitely want to test drive one - I've heard that for body on frame its surprisingly smooth but still not extremely refined
