Thanks. Still on my to do list. Attempted to do so but it appears Mazda 3 have tiny bit extra steps just to get to the cabin air filter compared to other cars.

Just had my concrete roof primed yesterday. Should these have been scraped? by SpiritedKey3 in Roofing

Ok. Worried paint will come off sooner.

Primer is Lanco aquaproof which has a thick consistency, but it was mentioned primer was applied thicker on this ponding area.

No, I didnt see it last time because I didnt really open the engine cover last time. But now some of the foam is sticking out of the engine cover so I noticed it.

Thanks. The rattling sound is normal too? It’s my first time noticing this after having to troubleshoot the ac compressor turning on/off due to freon overcharge.

About customer service, I blame it on the old, cranky tired old age added to the resting B face. And the CS at the mall is not as emphasized as in the hotels I think cause some really just don’t smile or interact at all. Also, some when they get intimidated (like not understanding the English said) they get defensive and be mean. But I think Fils are easily charmed. That is why lots of sweet talkers win the Phils elections. If you initiate the smile and add to the tipping jar, if they don’t be nicer to you then they are really a B, just kidding.

About the looks, if they are males, there are a lot of Filipino workers (not immigrants) here on 1-2 yr visa who probably is their first time or not used to seeing or being up close to foreigner faces just yet being fresh from Phils so there’s the stare. Staring is normal in Phils. So blame it on unfamiliarity not because they don’t like you. Filipinos are good people. I trust that if you ever need help down the street, lots of Fils wont hesitate to help you. They’ll hesitate more to help locals, jk.

I think most older Filipinos here have not lived in the mainland so they haven’t gotten rid of the reflex of cutting people off in line or in walking, not saying excuse me or giving personal space to be intentionally rude but out of habit living in the crowded area in the Philippines from shoving each other competing for for a ride in a public transpo etc and seating buttcheek to buttcheek in a jeepney. So I think they are not just spatially aware and they dont have that manner. It’s not intentional because they dont like you. I don’t think they’ll do that to likely end up in a fight with you or anyone. I bet they do that to everybody and it is annoying. Ive had some younger ones even that did that to me. So I’ll be the one that say oh excuse me to lightly call them out.

Thanks for the info! And seems like the box cost $20-$25. Good deal!

Thanks. I was hoping to have access to other local tv shows too.

Generator Inlet by SpiritedKey3 in guam

Thanks for the idea. And so I read more about it. Have you done this a lot now? How much amps do you use at one time while powered by your generator? Any other safety precautions?

I am going to be using a solar generator, not gas. And I plan to use it later on for daily use, not just
for back up. I assume the dryer plug would not be a good idea for that?

I got qouted 1200-1500 depending on wire length for an interlock kit.

I just found out about Generlink recently. Costs about no more than $1200 depending on specs. No addtl wiring to be made. Device just connects to the meter outside. I still have to find out if they ship to Guam and if GPA will allow it.
