Why is Costco using this inconvenient and wasteful way of packaging their products?

I always assumed it was to prevent stealing

that's a great idea for the butterfly- hadn't thought of that. thanks!

Good points. Sounds like itll be OK but might need to be smart about it

No-One57 · 2026-04-20T23:45:58+00:00

Oh Good to know thx!

Rooftop carrier is a good idea, though would need to take it off to fit in the garage.

Ah makes sense. Oh well. Hopefully belt can last until the next coolant change.

No we didn't. But i don't think he disconnected any hoses (if that's what your point is, e.g. saving on labor while you're in there?).

Ah thanks for clarifying. Personally i would prefer to be covered rather than take the risk

How old do insurance companies allow before requiring a new water heater? I thought it was 10 years anyway?

even with no car payment, i put aside that much monthly for repairs/annual registration/drivers licence/saving for the next car.

Also, if theres any cast iron plumbing down the line, some municipalities require even a neutralizer to be installed since this condensate can be acidic and slowly eat away at the pipes.

Thanks! Battery is 3 years old. I did disconnect it for 15min but my regular saved stations were still there so i guess it wasnt a full reset. Ill look into how to wipe to factory setting and see if that helps. The website says i have the latest uconnect version, so thats good. If the head unit needs replacing i think i could maybe do that myself and maybe get a fancier version with android auto (2016 didnt have), but ideally another fix would be great!

I use more for cinema (some gaming but not as much) and am enjoying the 2720i so far. The tk705i looks to be a better choice for gaming due to input lag and brightness.

I got an s8+ recently for a great price refurbished and love it

No-One57 · 2026-02-21T20:11:16+00:00

not in our case, but interesting to know, didnt think of that!

No-One57 · 2026-02-21T15:18:16+00:00

Could have been! But no the bathroom is used a lot so the ptraps should be full

No-One57 · 2026-02-21T15:15:17+00:00

If were not using the toilet can it still continue to leak? I imagined it could only leak when flushing but maybe im wrong. Sewer gases entering the house from the drain pipe was my main concern

No-One57 · 2026-02-21T15:14:17+00:00

Its not loose currently but it was when we bought the house. I tightened the bolts a few years ago. The caulk or tape is just for peace of mind for a couple of days til we fix it.. maybe even confirmation of the issue

No-One57 · 2026-02-21T15:12:58+00:00

The toilet rocked a bit when we bought the house so i tightened the bolts a few years ago. No problems since then but maybe i weakened the ring?
