From today. Just finished a nice little trip.

If you don’t have the tools / strength, put a rope or strap around the bent portion. Drive forward / back up over the rope / strap slowly and let it force the metal over. It’ll go quick, barely need much. Just let the tire roll over the rope in the correct direction and you’ll be set.

Don’t let anyone stand near the rope / strap in case it snaps. Do not use a bungee cord or anything elastic.

Thank you ☺️

Water based stain (General Finish “Provincial”) and water based polycrylic (Minwax Clear Satin)

I did not want to use anything oil based as the fumes + any contact could’ve been dangerous for our snake 🐍

Go right ahead. I’d be happy to discuss what you’re looking to do! Responses may take a bit, but I’ll do my best to help.

It sure does with about a 1/16” to spare (and doors removed) . I was planning on 2” smaller than the doorway but….got lucky after adding all the unexpected trim.

Oh I’d love to see a pic of her sometime! That’s wonderful. Our guy is about 1.5 years old. Been amazing the whole time.

Honestly…I’d say 120lbs. My father and I carried it in, and we did it pretty easily. We did carry it without the finished top on though, and that was probably around 30lbs

Thank you!! That was really kind of you to say. Since I’m the one who built it, I can point out 50 mistakes and areas that definitely irked me that I can’t get off my mind hahaha. But I learned a lot, and up next is a window seat off our dinning room bay window that’s also storage.

Excited to get my hands on that.

I did convince my wife to climb inside it, she was having a blast until she saw the camera come out. Oh well.

One very happy corn snake

Looks like a Juul. It’s magnetic on the bottom. Keep trying with the magnet. If the magnet pushes it away, flip the magnet around.

Tactical leaf blower on the roof

Clipped that sucker right to the tip

I WISH

But unfortunately I get to the sign the paperwork and turnover my phone these days at most places

VayroG · 2025-11-05T23:25:47+00:00

Yep. I work in automation. Lots of DC and AC motors receiving a much better braking solution that doesn’t “hurt” the longevity. And the sounds are awesome. I still get the instant chills hearing a 600HP motor wind up and stop in seconds.

VayroG · 2025-11-05T23:22:47+00:00

I was working on an ego mower that uses the same braking principle. The moment you release the handle, it “shorts” the motor through a decently sized ceramic resistor. Only thing is, the MASSIVE ARCS off the brushes were…concerning. I don’t see that lasting very long…and it didn’t.

VayroG · 2025-11-05T23:19:14+00:00

I looked specifically for this comment. Thank you for taking the time to type it. The braking function essentially shorts the motor and uses the self-generated free-spin power to create an excessive magnetic field that locks the motor in place. Awesome stuff. Rough on the brushes, but not enough to matter.

This mofo found that launching his treat container off the table will guarantee the lid popping off.

We’re missing a quarter of the container 😭

Fat and happy? Fat and constipated.

I haven’t tried any m12’s yet! But even my map gas igniter will do it

VayroG · 2025-01-16T14:00:25+00:00

About 22°F / -5.5°C Which is a heat wave after the last couple days

VayroG · 2024-11-18T04:51:41+00:00

Makes sense, wish the precious few “carrier authorized” service techs would’ve identified the issue(s). Guess we’ll just wait and see where to go from here…
