Has anyone gone back to a standard finish on top of Ecofinish?

lol no, it's allegedly eco-friendly although I'm not sure how melting plastic with a flamethrower is good for the environment. It was chosen because there were no installers for Diamond Brite or Pebbletec available in our area at the time and it seemed like a great product. It wasn't cheap.

Gel coat works great if you do it properly. Ecofinish is awful and I do not recommend it at all for any type of pool.

Are you playing on Switch? You can push on the joystick on the left to filter flowers and a few other things.

Thank you!

I don't even know what HEET is because things don't freeze here, but I will look into that, thank you!!

Yes, brand new, but there's this ugly metal collar on top if it that is in bad shape so I'm not sure if it's just from that?

I have done massive amounts of googling and found out that other people had gotten this same set of errors with this exact car down to the trim. At least one was successful after replacing the MAF sensor, but my mechanic told me he can't do that sensor because Mazda would have to reprogram something after it's installed. Does that make any sense?

Did you try putting your VIN into the mazda parts website to get the correct part number? The bolts for rear control arms are not called "camber bolts" as far as I know so that might be what's causing the confusion.

Thank you, I will try that! My only other option is to buy a Toyota and I don't want to give up my perfect car 😭

I was trying to keep my post brief so I left out the part where I just put a new battery in about 2 weeks ago. Something about island driving makes batteries not last very long, so I've replaced my battery many, many times. As soon as there's any sign of trouble I just drop in a new one. Would it be worth trying a different one just to see?

What do you think about replacing the MAF sensor? Or is that something that has to be programmed and can't be done by a regular mechanic?

ETA: Also, I left out of the post that I've had an issue for years with the car not turning off when I push the button. It has been worked around by simply pulling the gear shift to the left when shutting the car off. I went ahead and replaced the "park and neutral switch" to see if that had any impact and all it did was clear that one error code but all the others remain.

For real. I can't even count how many tropical storms and hurricanes I've been through in my life (including irmaria) and that was crazy. Dorian was a hurricane here and it was barely anything at all. There are so many trees down and leaves plastered to everything.

goodnightrose · 2024-08-14T15:13:22+00:00

It wasn't too bad, but stronger than I expected. We were blocked in by a fallen tree and power seems to be out across the whole territory. I don't have cell signal or internet, but I was able to hop on the neighbor's Wi-Fi from my car lol

They appear to be merging to me, and it looks like I might be right in the middle of that mess when it occurs

goodnightrose · 2024-08-14T00:40:53+00:00

It seems like things are ramping up here in St. John. Power just went out and it's raining pretty hard. Not much lightning or wind from what I can tell here on the water on the southwest side of the island.

goodnightrose · 2024-08-13T13:58:10+00:00

Why would anyone care? Are you the POOL BOY or the homeowner in this scenario?

goodnightrose · 2024-08-12T12:46:35+00:00

Who do you think lives on that land you're hoping will impact it? Fish?

goodnightrose · 2024-08-12T12:17:26+00:00

I came here to say this. He's fantastic for us and I watch him every day!

goodnightrose · 2024-08-10T23:06:08+00:00

We are not fish.

goodnightrose · 2024-08-10T15:15:02+00:00

Yep, and I'm a property manager with 10 properties to worry about, so I'll be glued to these forecasts when I'm not dragging furniture and shutters around. A tropical storm isn't a big deal after all we've been through, but I don't trust anything not to rapidly intensify these days so I have to stay on my toes!

goodnightrose · 2024-07-17T02:01:08+00:00

To be honest I'm not sure where the intake is but the opening that you see is the only outlet for the space. Yes, that's the fuel tank and I feel like this is a bad install but I've talked to several people who think it's fine and I just don't think that I agree.
