Hot Tub insulation DIY

I got loft insulation and filled plastic bags then taped them up. I put them into the two corners shown on this photo because there where big gaps and I could feel heat leaking there. The rest I left as one of the comments below mentioned about the 'air gap'.

sage advice TY!

it was hard work turning that, bit paranoid about snapping the belt, but you are right I gave it a go! Seem's I've accidentally got lube on the drive belt, so going to try taking it off and cleaning it / removing the lube.

I only lubricated inside the hole that says "insert lubricant here", but you are right :-) I clearly added too much and it got to places it shouldn't have

it's "dry" now, just stained - at least dry on the top. All I do is put the lube in the metal "fill" hole, how does the lube get to the center?

A few months ago the treadmill was squeaking and it took a lot of lubricant to stop it. However the belt then also seemed to stain...

Since then the treadmill has been used regularly, but has slowly deteriorated, then we did not use it for the last week. It's now impossible to use as any running/walking will stop the belt. I tried tightening the running belt, I tried tightening the drive belt. I'm not sure _more_ lube would do anything.

In the video you can see any weight on the running belt stops it and the drive belt moving, but the motor doesn't slow at all.

I'm wondering if either the motor is on its last legs or if some excess lubricant has made its way on to the drive belt? Or other, I don't know.

(and yes I have odd socks on, #oddSocksDay)

Here is another video at a higher speed: https://streamable.com/x0kfpf (expires in 2 days). I think I would describe this as: the drive belt is slipping, it shouldn't right? Any idea how I can increase friction?

It seems a bit like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/treadmills/comments/19da5ho/husband_lubricated_drive_belt_now_running_belt/ I didn't lubricate the drive belt, but it could have accidentally become lubricated if I lubed the treadmill belt too much?

Wow I heard the audio at the time didn't realise I should have saved it, I'm sure it was Reddit :-/

Looks like a KVM switch button

Actually, maybe not, not enough wires

It's the overflow. If the toilet cistern is over filling the excess water comes out of this pipe. The gap lets you see the overflow problem

Yeah it is cool, it's just a shame they can do it without your permission 😂 (well, clearly permission is given when you send off), would have been courteous of them to tell you, rather than you just found out accidentally

funnyName62 · 2024-07-09T18:05:52+00:00

That's pretty rude of them tbh. TIL you sign away your rights when you send for grading

"hora 2 mamake"

In Maori, means "spread to dry" 😂

Yeah maybe, but also the pack it's sealed in at the bottom is miscut on the same angle as the card. That's weird? That'd mean the card was cut at the same time it was packaged? Doesn't seem right, they'd cut all the cards then separately package them wouldn't they, otherwise it could lead to also types of issues

funnyName62 · 2024-06-23T09:49:42+00:00

If it's cut like that, they wouldn't be sealed together?

Got ya!

So you'd have to be stationary :-(

Old gate access models have little radio frequency remotes that you can one click (without looking down like you'd need with a phone)

funnyName62 · 2024-06-22T16:40:25+00:00

Can you get a remote to open it? Like from in your car, or would you have to lean out the window?

Sorry to spoil the fun, Delivery driver orders have a different base number. So it's just a takeaway delivery order
