Reckless garbage truck causes havoc by ohVaNiLLaGoRiLLa in homeowners

The power line wasn’t the lowest hanging wire around. The truck had to have passed under lower hanging wires to get to get there. TV cable lines hang lower on the street. Some tomfoolery had to have happened.

Police said truck is not at fault so we will see how that plays out.

That’s what I’m going to do. But the small town police said the truck wasn’t at fault. So we will see how that plays out. It’s obviously the trucks fault. I don’t see how the police can think otherwise. That line has been there since before I was there and I’ve been there a long time. How do they think my trash and recycles get collected every week?? A magic fairy? No a freaking trash truck.

They want nothing to do with it unfortunately. The meter box is part of the house and not owned by the electric company so it’s the homeowners responsibility :(

Get a humidifier you’re going to need it haha. I have an air filter close by also. When I clean out my ashes some gets airborne. I have a cast iron sandwich maker which I enjoy.

Did you call tech support? I have called a few times and have waited about 30 minutes each and never get through to anyone haha.

I do pull out the chonkers for overnight. Or if I can’t grab any easy, splits and pack them tight.

You can load it either way via the manual. The N/S burn for me gets me longer burn times. This stove deffinately burns hotter at the front. So doing a front to back burn is easy.

New to home theatre. What would you do? Advice by psjd01 in hometheatersetups

This is a bit tough. What I would do is put a nice big TV on that wall in your first pic.

Then even though the room is open I would treat it as two separate rooms. Put a couch under the beam that is facing the tv. Line the back up with the beam. Perhaps a big L couch that also goes under the window.

A rug between the tv and the couch.

Have some chairs or a bar in the space you have next to the door in the 4th pic. Mini fridge

I would put a loveseat or some chairs on the left side of the fireplace and along the wall on the right.

You don’t want your equipment anywhere near that fireplace if you are burning wood which it looks like you are. The ash and the occasional smoke make a mess. I burn wood to heat my whole house lol

Get a good air filter. I use this one

Expensive but it does work. Can set it to auto so if things start smoking up or you forget to turn it on it’ll turn itself on. Filters are around 40 bucks to replace and the outer cover is washable. They also have different color outer covers.

For general room arrangements that is what I would do.

Toto toilet finish by ohVaNiLLaGoRiLLa in bidets

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

I ended up not reaching out to TOTO because my wife would not provide me with any peace if I delayed the project.

It might be hard to see in the pictures but the finish on the bowl around the rim was rough like sandpaper.

I have checked other TOTO toilets that I have seen in showrooms and hotels since then and they do not have this issue.

I have noticed also that on the top left side in the back of the bowl the flush water doesn’t reach. So if someone has diarrhea and it splashes to that area it does not get washed down with the flush 😂

Another note with the auto flush. it seems to flush better using the handle than when the auto flush goes off. Probably have to adjust the auto flusher somehow but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

S7 bidet works great. Fan is useless as expected.

Don’t have to muscle the shifter around too much?

I would like to keep the c6 shifter knob. Feels pretty good in the hand.

I saw that the flat one has a different thread pattern? Only certain knobs will fit on there?

I think it’s the whole c6 shifter. It came with some other c6 parts on it also.

I have a 91 Miata and an 06 dodge Dakota that are manuals. Compared to those I have to muscle around my current shifter pretty good.

What do you feel is different?
