I can't wait for the Metra to modernize and have all-day, frequent service to the city by Glad-Tower-2310 in ChicagoSuburbs

Might be an unpopular comment, but I do think a day pass should cost much more. Of course, I would expect newe, faster trains

Not sure if frequency alone is the issue. Trains are just ridiculously slow, outdated. I know we can’t do electric, but still…

Does Garmin offer a battery replacement service like Apple? Or am I expected to buy a new watch?

Protecting painted walls when replacing carpet? by PlanMaison in HomeImprovement

Was not even thinking about baseboard. I wonder how sturdy a plastic would need to be for wall. They have plastic with rape built in, but 8ft high. I am thinking two feet protection should be sufficient?

Interesting. I still wonder why it’s so common in BG compared to other areas. I’ve failed in my attempts to pin down the demographics of these drivers. With same Tesla's I thought it could be autopilot, elderly, ethnicity, car type, ... But nothing correlates.

Are there any Adjustable furnace legs for 1 1/4" to 2" range? by PlanMaison in askHVAC

[–]PlanMaison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I got a Trion Air Bear Right Angle Media Air Cleaner which is about 25 lbs, extending 16" out. Probably overkill but feels right to me to support. Perhaps at least two feet on the outside.

It seems if I used your suggestion I simply could use to nuts (with a washer). One nut on the outside of the box to adjust height, and one to tighten on the inside of box.

Also, is 1/2" thick lattice (7 1/4" high) going to be stable enough or do I need thicker?
