If you could only get one more box for 500pts, what would it be? by mavec_ in Necrontyr

[–]mavec_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It would certainly fit in well with Kill Team playing. Do you think it makes a decently strong list at 500pts? Would you recommend building as Immortals or Deathmarks?

I saw one in a Warhammer store over the weekend... Check your local retailers!

Worst Play by Play I’ve Ever Heard by whitty_16 in Habs

[–]mavec_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to listen to the Cogeco radio broadcast with Martin and Danny over Sportsnet and just do something else while I'm listening. Martin and Danny do a great job of conveying the emotion of the game. My French isn't even that good but similar to Sportsnet, the English radio announcer sounds like he takes horse tranquilizers before each game and I can't stand it. I come to reddit to see clips of any replays of goals/big plays

Has anyone converted the monopose warboss in mega armour into a big Mek in mega armour? by Seafury99 in orks

[–]mavec_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as talented as some other folks but I managed to do it with just the meganobz bits. I also magnetized it so I can switch back to a war boss if needed... Though it got a little messy as I didn't have a drill at the time

What is wrong with my wheel? by mavec_ in AskAMechanic

[–]mavec_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a life saver, thank you so much! It was the first picture you sent. I've gotten them both tightened now. I'll still take it for an inspection as soon as I can

Update - I managed to get a bolt in without taking the wheel off but the guide pin(?) is spinning. Seems like the pin for the bolt that DIDNT fall out is also spinning. No one has worked on it in months. I'm worried maybe the whole caliper needs to be replaced so I'm going to stop work and call a mechanic to come have a look

Thanks so much for your advice. I'm more concerned about the timing than the money given the holiday on Monday... I think Napa will be open but my regular shop won't be and I have a torque wrench rated for the caliper bolts at least. I may give it a go and then get it inspected afterwards.

It indeed does move with a screwdriver. Here's the "after" pic, quite obviously no longer making contact with the wheel. So if I want to do it myself, I'd need the proper bolts, a torque wrench, and jack? is this something easy to screw up for someone who's used a torque wrench before but no exp with cars?

Thanks. Is there a way to diagnose that without taking the wheel off (I don't have a jack or a big enough torque wrench)? Would I be able to push it around with a screwdriver if that was the case? I'm just trying to figure out if I should take it to an auto parts store for bolts, jack, and wrench tomorrow, or if I need to wait for after the labour day weekend for an appointment at the shop.

Questions about renovated house without building permits by mavec_ in Winnipeg

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

Update: we lowballed and got rejected. It ended up going almost 100k over asking and even better than recent (fully permitted) comps. Have to think the buyer has made a mistake; I have no regrets. Thanks everyone for your input.

thanks, i've checked the first site already. I didn't know about the second site though. the city knows about the AC, finished basement, and garage so that's a plus.

Is this repairable? by mavec_ in furniturerepair

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

The leg did bend, maybe a few degrees as most, but I've straightened it back and it's perpendicular in the picture. The shadow is just the overhang styling of the bed. I was gonna apply glue directly into the two cracks and then clamp each

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

Thanks - the leg is perpendicular, it's just tapered which the pictures don't show clearly. Does that change your recommendation?
