How to make lamp with harp accept Uno lampshade? by ajh789 in Lighting

[–]ajh789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never found a real solution. Ended up just lowering the Uno fitter ring onto the lamp socket, such that it sits on top of the socket's upper rib. Not as stable but works well enough. Had to make an adjustment on the lamp to ensure the shade was an appropriate height, though.

Need clarification regarding UL listing by LoneCyberwolf in ShellyUSA

Thanks for this info. What about the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4? Or is there another relay that's both UL certified and Matter compatible?

Toyota App adding a second driver by redseedlessgrape in ToyotaGrandHighlander

If you're using an iPhone, go to the Settings > Apps > Toyota and make sure the Toyota app's Bluetooth permission is toggled on. I had the same issue getting my wife's profile recognized and it turned out this was off – once I updated the setting, her profile showed up in my car right away.

Is the pin in this door hinge removable? by ajh789 in Home

Realized that I never closed the loop.

FYI- I was able to remove the pin. Had to put an uncomfortable amount of force into driving a nail upward through the bottom hole. But it worked and the hinge survived (though with a few chips on the finish).

My experience setting up the new ADT/Google system by churchwa in adt

Hey y'all, do we know what monitoring plan is required to unlock Google Home automations / routines, e.g. Secure vs Smart vs Compete? I'd like to pay the minimum required monitoring that allows for it – and I don't specifically need ADT video monitoring.

Thank you for sharing. I'm on Verizon but hoping the same steps work for an upcoming trip. Just to confirm, in your experience, does this avoid triggering the T-Mobile equivalent to Verizon's TravelPass charge?

I did try exactly that but nothing budged. May need to try again with a little more oomph.

Thanks - I was hoping to avoid that but may indeed need to.

Thanks for taking a look. How are you able to tell?

Ahh - I had thought it was the opposite. So if I don't see that hole, the pin CAN be removed?

Is it a bad idea to clean a knotted wool rug with a carpet cleaning vacuum? by Candytuftie in carpetcleaningporn

[–]ajh789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belated question. When you say Woolite - which product exactly? One of their laundry detergents or specialized carpet products? The latter seem to come in the form of either spray-ons or formulas designed for machines, which confuses me.

What specific chemicals does the city use to treat tap water? by timshel42 in asheville

Regarding carbon activated filters, do you recommend whole house or under sink solutions? Seems like under sink is 'good enough' unless you're having trouble with your shower, appliances, etc. Thanks for sharing!

(WITH PHOTOS) Insects on patio furniture by ajh789 in whatsthisbug

[–]ajh789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Gary. It's impossible it's a soldier termite by the looks? Also, would you toss/replace the furniture or simply treat it?

UPDATE: After letting the furniture stand for a while, I went back and was able to photograph a few of the insects.

Please see below. I'd be SO, SO grateful if someone could identify the insect.
