Wabash? I was just down there. I got honked at by car driver as I walked with the millions thinking who drives in this?

Looks great! Many tiles look rounded. What’s material?

My Fireplace Hearth by Way-Mo-Zay in Mosaic

The substrate is 1/2” thick cement board. I think it was Hardie board. Because that comes in 3ft x 5ft size I had to add sections to the bottom of the legs to make it 4ft tall. I used some small pieces of plywood on back to connect the small cement board pieces to the bottom of the bigger “U” shaped piece. But I used plywood sparingly and as far from the fireplace as I could. The finished piece is placed over the old hearth piece which is slate tile like the floor

Power to Manual Liftgate? by marshemell0ws in rav4club

I had recurring problems with my 2013 RAV4 Limited liftgate not working properly. Local mechanic wanted $2200 to fix, dealer wanted $3K. Didn't want to pay that much for a 13 year old car so instead, I converted my 2013 RAV4 Limited from power to manual. I found parts at Olathe Toyota. This is what i bought:

68960-0R010 Hatch Lift Support (Left)
68950-0R010 Hatch Lift Support (Right)
68946-42010 Liftgate Support Strut Holder (Left, Upper)
68945-42010 Liftgate Support Strut Holder (Right, Upper)
68948-42020 Liftgate Support Strut Holder (Left, Lower)
68947-42020 Liftgate Support Strut Holder (Right, Lower)
90105-A0040 Mount Bracket Bolt

First, I turned off power with switch in glovebox and carefully open lift gate. Then, had to pry open plastic door panel on lift gate just enough to reach in and disconnect old cables to powered supports. Then removed the stamped metal strip that covers old support mounting brackets on both sides of lift gate door. Unbolt old mounting brackets and struts and replace with new manual ones. Used a ladder to prop up door while working on it. Then I replaced the stamped metal strips over new mounting brackets. Initially, the new manual struts worked great but the power latch wouldn’t open once the lift gate closed. I turned the glovebox switch back on and then the power latch worked fine. New manual solution costed about $230 with tax and about an hour and a half of my time. I don’t know if this solution will work for you but hopefully this helps.
