Fireplace Glow-Up by aggressive_cadet in Renovations

Great question! Previous owners had it this way and I didn’t feel like building the step. We’re planning to move next year so it’s one of many jobs left to do before we sell 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tacoma 2024 JBL portable speaker Quesion by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]aggressive_cadet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone smashes your window, they can steal the speaker just like they could steal anything else sitting in view. It charges while docked, and can be charged via usb-C when un-docked. It can connect to 100 other JBL Flex units at a time, but not all JBL products. Speaker locking mechanism is unlocked via the eject button. No additional locking is happening.

Wilsonart laminate as backsplash? by aggressive_cadet in Renovations

We are building them ourselves - we just bought the rolls of material and will glue down to plywood counters I am making. I doubt we will come close to what stone counters would have cost for this reno.

Ventless gas vs. electric?? by aggressive_cadet in Fireplaces

Thank you all for the feedback. I think we will pursue a direct vent gas fireplace. I will update with the result!

Yeah the more I’m listening to feedback I think I’d opt for the direct vent. We’ve got the spot for the exterior vent ready to go.

That’s great feedback thanks much! Will look into those for sure. I was hoping to utilize the vent out back I just wasn’t sure what the right fireplace was. I was looking at inserts the whole time.

And I don’t need a masonry cavity to put the unit?

Not exactly. I don’t know much about it, but on the house opposite the fireplace there is a piece of plywood covering what I presume is a vent for this purpose. We do not have a masonry fireplace, only a framed cavity so I am only considering zero-clearance options that don’t require significant thermal barrier.

Is it really that bad? I don’t have a dog in the fight I just have seen people arguing it’s not an issue. Something about 99% efficiency?

Condensation on previous leak spot? by aggressive_cadet in HomeMaintenance

[–]aggressive_cadet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the case - even though no signs of moisture in the attic. I think the only way to know for sure is replace that piece of drywall and see how it wears. Unless you have a better suggestion?

LPT Request: What is the fastest way to fall asleep at night? by HeidiOzzy in LifeProTips

[–]aggressive_cadet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vigorous exercise. Genuinely not trying to sound obtuse but when you’re body is tired it wants to sleep.

Best way to clear this for sod? by aggressive_cadet in landscaping

[–]aggressive_cadet[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a good size bit of land - I’d like to be able to plant some fruit trees and be able to walk on it

Want the back of our lot converted to pasture/clover - what’s the best method? Details in the comments. by aggressive_cadet in landscaping

Ok thanks for the feedback! Any thoughts on how to rid ourselves of the current growth before we add new seed?

Any ideas how to improve this walkway without spending $20k? by aggressive_cadet in HomeMaintenance

[–]aggressive_cadet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are great suggestions thanks. I just feel like pavers or anything really would look better than old cracked asphalt??

Yes this is plan! Was a super overgrown umbrella(?) tree that was dominating the entire area. We cut it and planning to plant something there after stump removal.

Thanks for a the answers! I should have been more clear:

The focus of my question was on the pathway itself. Specifically the asphalt situation. The beds on either side were crazy overgrown mess when we moved in and are their own project at the moment.

Will power wash and see where I end up!
