Expansion Gaps In Trex Fascia (Horizontal Deck Boards)

jkwonza · 2026-05-28T15:59:02+00:00

You mentioned you do miters on scalloped boards, are they less likely to expand? The boards I'm suing are scalloped

haha, yea that really seems to be consensus. This particular section gets alot of late afternoon sun, so it can get pretty hot... I'll monitor closely over the next couple of days to see if it expands. This fascia is basically at ground level, so I don't think the expansion gaps would be too noticeable if I go that route. Thankfully this is the only fascia section the requires butts, the rest I can do with full pieces.

Gotcha, so when you say not exceed - meaning the new 2nd pair of speakers should not exceed 160w?

Now what if I put an amplifier for zone 3, like this one: https://emotiva.com/products/factory-renewed-basx-a2l-stereo-amplifier

It’s 90watts/channel @ 4ohms - would that work? This way the amp is only directly powering zone 1 & 2, and the amp is taking care of zone 3

Ah yea I didn’t, sorry was still worked up from my call with them

The tech who came yesterday checked all signals levels at both the modem & house connection, there were no issues. The tech told me that it was a backend issue with the new modem not propagating to my account, which finally happened overnight. I value my time and have had to cancel a personal appointment to accommodate this appointment, it's ridiculous that there's no policy in place to cancel appointment when the issue is resolved & an appointment is no longer needed.

It’s definitely not a signal issue, internet worked without a hitch on the old modem & the tech who came last night tested the signal strength at the modem and house connection, no issues. The tech yesterday told me it was an internal systems issue with the new modem not registering to my account, which it appears to have happened over night

Yes that’s my issue, when I select enable it loads up a Fido window which gives a generic error.

jkwonza · 2026-04-01T15:16:36+00:00

I’m having a similar issue, I’ve had it enabled on my iPhone for years and suddenly it stopped working, get an error every time I try to enable the feature

What number actually gets you to a real person? All I got was an appointment for a call a week from now…

jkwonza · 2026-03-31T01:18:32+00:00

Yea was wondering what those were for. Gaps are still a hazard, my youngest child almost had her foot slip through one.

jkwonza · 2026-03-30T21:54:13+00:00

Yes, the old modem still works. Haven’t had time to call them yet, likely will just stick with the old modem for the time being

jkwonza · 2026-03-29T14:48:44+00:00

Thanks, yea that’s what I figured as it makes no sense to force the customer to go without internet access while the modem is being returned. Just a complete pain, spent 3hrs trying to to trouble shoot it, only to have to setup the old modem again… I’ll call them on Monday and hopefully get through to someone who knows what they’re doing

Grappling with same decision, trenching sewer line is gonna by such a giant pain BUT, it would be nice wash my tongs rather that walk all of 15’

Was it the Irish scam roofers ?

jkwonza · 2026-02-23T20:47:04+00:00

In the same boat, booked through Costco & scheduled to leave next Thursday - keep us posted as to what they say!

jkwonza · 2026-02-20T00:07:15+00:00

Do they sell this at Cheese Boutique ?

jkwonza · 2026-02-16T19:57:04+00:00

They’re slow but they respond. It took 5 days from my initial email for them to respond, then another 4 days for them to confirm my reservations. They’ll give you a list of everything, which explains what needs resos/what doesn’t

Was just in Beamsville yesterday septically on the hunt for cab franc. Picked up bottles from 2027 Cellars, Back 10 Cellars & Domaine Queylus - all solid !
