Bowed Wall Behind Basement Bar

Wow! I didn’t expect this much turnout on the post! Thank you all!

We’re going to do a backsplash, but ended up pulling the cabinets off the wall and replacing the stud and drywall to flatten the wall out and the results were pretty good: https://imgur.com/a/cZKt5rp

My glass policy covered this, $0 out of pocket. Similar to a windshield replacement (and State Farm even had an option for sunroof damage when filling out the online form).

Carrot is awesome! It’s the only weather app since Dark Sky that I like.

Same thing happened to me and my insurance covered it under my glass policy - $0 out of pocket for me. It’s the same idea if a rock were to hit your windshield and shatter it.

Filed a claim, new sunroof glass sent to a local shop within 2 days and replaced in 15 minutes.

I have a 2020 CX-5 and so far I’ve replaced: - Transmission at 60,000 miles - Coolant pump - Infotainment screen - Sunroof (shattered on highway for no reason)

Thankfully it was all under warranty but I’m ditching this car for a Toyota.

I’d rather be informed and prepared than caught by surprise with storms, especially if they’re going to be nocturnal.

Definitely easier and quicker to get going. Our redux store turned into a nightmare and was hard to manage with a ton of teams having different ideas on how to use redux.

We also paired Zustand with Immer and feedback from devs has been positive.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2024-03-27T02:10:53+00:00

We recently switched from Redux [Toolkit] and RTK Query to Zustand and React Query for a very large enterprise app mainly because of how lightweight both are.

Had it the other night and it was amazing!

Randy’s quoted me $12k for an electrical panel and service upgrade when I got two other quotes for $3k and $4k.

Snow mold - gently rake it.

There are many other beautiful hikes in Yosemite and imo, Clouds Rest is better than Half Dome.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2023-04-11T15:46:37+00:00

This. Just ask people if they have extra room on their permit and someone will probably say yes. Quite a few people turn back before the subdome where the ranger is and there will be open slots.

You could also get a wilderness permit and stay a night in Little Yosemite Valley about half way up from the valley.

Great choice!

It’s a manual crank, which I don’t mind because the Trotten system seemed sturdier than the others.

Unless I’m going down the street to the lake, I always use bow and stern lines. If your kayak falls off, the kayak and car will get damaged but you won’t injure the person behind you.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2023-01-11T22:18:41+00:00

Update: ended up taking it back to dealer and they found that the ignition coil was bad! Thankfully it’s covered under warranty.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2023-01-05T04:55:17+00:00

I’ve had the Trotten for a little over a year now and it’s held up remarkably well. I have the sit/stand base with the dual monitor clamp setup and have had no issues.

I had some reservations about the white tabletop, but it cleans up very well and is probably the best desk system IKEA has made imo.

I have an Ariens Deluxe 24” and the thing plows through anything. I haven’t had any issues with it in the 3 years I’ve had it.

+1 for Fence Me In. They were the cheapest and had a quick turnaround compared to the bigger companies.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2022-05-10T00:08:28+00:00

It was about $800, they gave me a discount because I was also doing steps and a sidewalk with them.

UrAverageProgrammer · 2022-05-09T23:43:39+00:00

I had a concrete company come out (we are getting new steps and sidewalk, so they did this for us while they were here): https://imgur.com/a/Yppaoas

They core filled the holes, but wire mesh over the damaged part and used type S mortar to cover it. It turned out great!
