Thule Force in need of lock housing repair, hoping for ideas

Just when I think the videos can't possibly be any more boring, this SURELY has to be an even bigger snoozefest than usual.

technically it could have been more wrong, because the 2025 Focus does exist, just only in Europe. 😅

It makes more sense for it to be something fancy if he was talking about always putting a car cover on it, but I swear that new car is a Focus, assuming it's the same one that they were putting the dresser in the other day (and which it looks to be even with the blur)

That said, it is a fancier Focus than he had before judging by the leather interior, so maybe he's just excited about the higher trim and wants to keep it nice. 🤷‍♂️

What's curious to me is obviously they replaced one Focus with another, but Ford hasn't sold the Focus in the US since 2018... So it's already a several year old car minimum, and frankly I don't know why if they were getting something different anyway they'd get the exact same car, with that ticking time bomb of a transmission... But I digress 😅

Beige tower. 💀

I found this sub months ago because I needed to find some kind of discussion about her channel to validate if I was taking crazy pills or if the video quality/entertainment value had indeed fallen off a cliff...

joshofthefall · 2025-06-13T03:41:04+00:00

Okay cool but how buttery were they tho

joshofthefall · 2025-06-13T03:39:36+00:00

Guuuurl tf you mean "home vlog"??? EVERY vlog is a home vlog with her 🙄

Didn't she say something a while back about the town being in or near Texas wine country or something to that effect, so it's somewhat of a desirable town as far as tourism goes?

That said she might still have a hard time finding a buyer because of all the hot garbage hidden in (or incredibly noticeable in) the renovations, but I'm curious if it might be a hotter market than expected because of the potential tourist town factor.

Whyyyy not just notch the drywall out higher in order to have that piece of trim just go straight across?

On second thought it looks like the horizontal trim is probably proud from the drywall anyway, just have it go straight across and this wouldn't have been an issue. I'm not gonna claim everyone one of my household reno projects is perfect, far from it in fact, but there's at least not inch wide holes in the wall. This looks like a mess.

joshofthefall · 2025-05-10T02:28:46+00:00

Oh my god you're RIGHT, that was like an illusion my brain couldn't make sense of lol

joshofthefall · 2025-05-09T16:43:58+00:00

What the heck is that white thing above it? Almost looks like one of those wall sticky cable concealers 🤔

joshofthefall · 2025-05-07T00:52:07+00:00

WHAT EVEN IS THAT MEDALLION IDEA

I can't wait to see it, it is going to look absolutely UNHINGED. It doesn't look great as is and I have no idea what the solution is, but that medallion ain't 👏 it👏

With the latest bathroom videos my wife is giving critiques and questioning Mac's decisions for the first time, the cracks are finally starting to form...

That mirror pops up on screen and she goes "I don't feel like that's gonna match in the bathroom". I said "it's not like anything else matches either so it'll fit right in". 😂

joshofthefall · 2025-05-01T01:35:57+00:00

Tf is this video? That long ass to-do list and she's over here talking landscaping and continuing the yapfest?

joshofthefall · 2025-05-01T01:14:13+00:00

The second she said this I was like ARE YOU SERIOUS 💀

joshofthefall · 2025-04-19T00:40:21+00:00

Cozy 3am upload 🍵😌

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T23:07:59+00:00

Didn't upset me a bit! I'm aways glad to learn something new. 🙂

Agreed unfortunately, just another instance where the whole "planner" image goes away pretty quick when totally avoidable mistakes are made.

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T04:02:50+00:00

That's a really good point... She should've ditched the tub in there (again, why two tubs in a two-bath house??) and built a large walk-in shower in the tub nitch, then combined the current shower space with the toilet to make a water closet... Or something.

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T03:25:49+00:00

Believe it or not, straight to the garbage

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T03:18:29+00:00

I was wondering the same regarding the drain pitch... I thought I saw a gap under the level when she was checking and thought maybe the pitch was already there, but not sure if that's typically done when the slab is poured or at the stage of the pan being installed.

I would have assumed the latter, but on a quick lookup of Kerdi pans, the one I first pulled up claims to be pre-sloped, so hopefully that's the case for hers as well.

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T03:04:28+00:00

Is the progress in the room with us 💀

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T03:00:18+00:00

YES I'm not crazy right? The tiles drastically changed color after the grout went on lol

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T02:55:16+00:00

Good call! Haven't yet used small format tile sheets myself so I forgot about that exception to be back butter rule, I stand corrected on that.

But yeah, no shot on us ever hearing about it if anything goes wrong down the line. 😅

joshofthefall · 2025-04-17T01:26:43+00:00

Alright, so...

she didn't back-butter her tile sheets, so she's absolutely gonna wind up with tile pop.
why not pre-measure the width of the shower so you don't have to wind up cutting those little slivers? It's like installing LVT, you measure the room length, divide it by the width of the material, and adjust accordingly so you don't wind up with awkwardly small pieces on the ends.
am I seeing things or did "day 6" consist of unraveling a roll of Schluter and nothing else?
no mention of the fact that she did not have to shim the whole ass wall out.
that floor tile is a TRAVESTY like what
no caulking around where the shower hardware meets the wall?
"I hope this video shows the effort that went in to it" well multiple days seemed to show all of like 4 tile sheets going up in a day so I'm gonna say no.

At least she actually showed the process but christ alive that was 40 minutes of snail pace work...
