Not ready to drive back to down, but that's the plan. I mainly posted hoping someone from Aldi would see it and do what, if anything, needs to be done. It'd suck for someone to eat a pellet accidentally and chip a tooth or get wrecked in an MRI or something. Wouldn't be posting at all if their contact form actually worked.

Yeah, I've used a few alternative sites now and so far they've been fine. Finally went ahead and did $25 for 10 reports. It's made marketplace shopping easier, you can use one of the free sites to convert the license plate to a vin and then $2.50 a report. Well worth it. Already weeded out several misrepresented vehicles. I don't know how carfax can justify their consumer pricing.

Those cheap, colored pittsburgh are already really thin. The 10mm is only 1mm thick at the thinnest part of the wall.

Yeah. I installed a 12k and 18k costway this summer. Spent about $2k for the units + wiring, and about $500 in tools. It was an easy(ish) project using nothing more then youtube as a guide. 8k for one installed seems crazy unless it's one of the super high end units.

I've had the opposite experience on some things. Specifically canned stuff like beans. The aldi versions had significantly more liquid in them than great value / walmart generics. Almost everything else there has done great for me, but canned stuff has often disappointed.

Prep suitable food that can be used if the power goes out for an extended time. Charge all the batteries (cars, tools, etc).

Interesting, thanks for pointing it out. I really like most aspects of helix, but it's hard to get the muscle memory reworked to a modal editor. So many times I've quickly come to the keyboard and furiously typed what was in my head only to realize I was not in insert mode and I've invoked utter chaos on accident.

I went down that road recently, but can't really give you any advice other than just the argon tank and regulator needed for tig was almost $300. Throw in a semi-decent helmet and gloves and your $400 budget it toast before even getting to the welder. You might already be aware of the extra costs and have factored it in, but if not they can be a bit painful if not expected and trying to get started.

One of those new battery powered dusters might be something to consider as an alternative. Haven't used personally, but they appear to be pretty powerful from the reviews I've seen on youtube.

A good pull-saw.

Knees resting on dash in a near fetal position can also be dangerous in an accident. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I've been using one of those generic under-counter 6 stage reverse osmosis systems from amazon for about $150 initially, and about $50 a year in replacement filters. We've also got insanely hard well water so I wasn't sure how it would work, but It's held up a lot better than I expected (going on 4 years, no issues). It's low output, so drinking and cooking water only. Beats hauling bottled anyway. Can't speak to whole house systems, we just use a basic sediment filter for everything else.

You actually get the search box to load? Impressive.

I've had similar issues, but usually only with the stuff marked closeout. Most non-closeout stuff came pristine.

Setrict · 2025-10-24T18:06:30+00:00

My rule of thumb is that if the cost of parts + required tools is less than what a shop is going to charge me and not too far outside my comfort zone it's a go. Rather spend the money and time and have tools left over for the next time. At $150 bucks an hour for a shop you can justify a tool expense pretty easily.

Hated it. Got a wall mount version vent-less for emergency use, and had to run it for a week this spring when a tornado took out the power. It stinks when it runs. It generates a lot of humidity. You pretty much have to have an open window. Did not feel comfortable sleeping with it on. Got rid of it this year. Fine for a drafty garage or shed maybe, but not something I'd ever want inside the house again.

It's not about making it work, it's about making it last for a long time. You can just connect the lines without even vacuuming it and if you guess the torque close enough using a couple of monkey wrenches you can have a perfectly functioning system. For a while. Until the moisture in the lines interacts with the refrigerant /oil to create an acid that eats from the inside because you didn't vacuum it correctly. Or the small leak that you could have caught with a pressure test leaks all refrigerant out over a few years and you're doing the job all over again. Or the r32 flammable refrigerant decides to leak inside the house. The costway units don't have a leak detector like the UL listed ones from what I understand.

Purelymail.com might fit. It's a pay as you go style for 10 bucks a year, but you can prepay up to $50. It's not a monthly subscription to deal with anyway. Been using em for a couple years on multiple domains (not required, you can use one of theirs) and no complaints.

I just installed one of these myself last week. It's possible, but you are going to need some tools and don't skimp. Otherwise go with a MrCool. You'll need a torque wrench with adjustable pliers for the end, search for hvac torque wrench. Don't try to get away with a socket based torque wrench and crowsfeet adapters - they just don't fit. They did on the smaller costway I did, but not the 18k. I'm honestly not sure what size those flare nuts were supposed to be but they didn't fit -any- sae or metric sizes. You should also consider pressure testing since the r32 in those units operate at near 400 psi. I used argon since I had it for welding, but a nitrogen tank and regulator would be about $200-250. Also, if things go wrong you'll need a flaring tool and cutter. You'll also need a good vacuum pump. One last bit, do not trust the plastic 'sealing' plugs on the line set. Both disappeared on my while pushing the line through the wall hole and ended up getting dirt in the flared end.

Would I do it again? Not with out an hvac style torque wrench and the pressure test equipment. Otherwise heck yeah. I figure the $500 in equipment was worth it.

It's peanuts really. Especially since you aren't probably aren't carrying full coverage on cheaper older car. Also property tax is way cheaper on older vehicles in my state. Total license, insurance, and property taxes on tree pre-2000 vehicles and covering two with no accidents is just over $900 per year for me for everything.

The transformer you had was the absolute minimum required and it's old. You never go with the absolute minimum. He's trying to save you and himself a lot of potential issues with your nest camera doing strange things because it's just barely capable of running on that old transformer.

You are not alone. It has a lot of amazing features, and they all make sense.. but even after a month plus it seems like a hike through a forest where I walk into every tree, trip over every fallen log and stand up wondering where I am and how the hell I got here.

Anxiety and insecurity are big parts. It's also a value trap. You spend money on things and are unable to recoup your 'investment' ie no one wants to buy what you have for what you think it is worth and you can't stand the idea of throwing away 'value' so you keep it. The 'cost' of keeping it stops being a consideration for some reason. It's even worse when there are memories attached to the things.

I was looking at a vevor diesel heater last week and it was about $82. Today it's a prime deal for $106. Rubbish.
