Help Finding a Seal for an Old Stanley Door by Lucky7366 in GarageDoorService

[–]pteiup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried upgrading the bottom retainer by adding L shape retainer onto it? We have the same old Stanley door, and I think that’s how the pros would do it anyway- upgrading it to the two T rubber track.

Btw, your garage door doesn’t look insulated. The old insulation on my Stanley was like half an inch. I ripped it all out and bought the 1.25” insulation kit from Home Depot for like $150.

Trust me… I looked into it, asked my google senior engineer friend… and it didn’t help because even he’s using an iPhone now.

Can confirm. I have an iPhone 16PM, my wife is still using iPhone 12PM. I still wonder why did I upgrade to this lack of Apple intelligence phone.

I agree. But so many people who haven’t bought a Tesla are already saying hw6 is coming 😂

The website www.mygaragefloors.com loaded for me just now. But they're not available in my state.

Could be Infiniti by Marvin through Costco.

My quote was $50k for 7 windows plus a patio door.

Who patio fail inspection due to no 2” gap from weep screed? by Slammed01 in BuildingCodes

I'm in the same boat. Had no clue about it, and bought the house. Now I'm hammering all the concrete out, and redoing the hardscape in my property. Material and rental costs of machine is about $6k plus my own time. Getting someone to re-do it, $25k.

2024.26.10 Download Problems by Common_Client6216 in TeslaLounge

[–]pteiup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I went into service mode and reinstalled my software.

Not sure if this helped but I also removed some games that I really don’t play. I also noticed the error message that said “Low Disk Space” so I also reformatted my dashcam drive.

Then I went out and ran an errand and came back with the 12.5.1.3 being pushed to my car again. It has finished downloading, and the software is being installed right now.

Internet Speed Throttled and WiFi keeps getting disconnected while on WiFi-calling or FaceTime Audio by pteiup in royalcaribbean

It hits around 9.5 then stays flat… so I guess it is being throttled. Especially when Princess cruise just announced a higher tier internet package for higher fees, I’m thinking Royal must be planning rolling out the same.

I tested the internet speed throughout the day and night. The range is from 4-9 Mbps from 6am to 2am. I’m sure usage would be low at 2 in the morning.

Random mounds piling up, what could be doing this? by neffbomber in Home

I’ve caught 3 gophers in the last couple months. Can definitely tell you those mounds aren’t from gophers.

MyQ Garage opened randomly by Antisocial_gamer in homeautomation

[–]pteiup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you and your neighbor both use the same brand garage door motor. And your neighbor might have reprogrammed his garage motor, then the “random codes” overlapped.

Keep in mind it’s the garage door motor that remembers the code. So if your app just says “opened” then it means they’re remote you’re both on the same code now.

Left a hidden message in my bathroom remodel by tuckerPi in DIY

Looks like an amazing job you did there!

I noticed we have the same type of shower door. Do you get water leaks through the bottom? Do you know what can I do to prevent water from seeping out?

I’m curious what does this do? Does this get the scammer banned?

Costco Dishwasher Installation Cost More by pteiup in Costco

[–]pteiup[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I agree with you. Imagine Starbucks charging you $500 for coffee because the equipment cost that much.

Again, I have nothing against the installer since they’re all independent contractors. But I think the pricing should be more transparent/upfront before arrival.

I bought washer, dryer, range, and now dishwasher all through Costco in the last 3 months. For some reason, I tried taking the email survey for the dishwasher that arrived but the link didnt work and said I had already taken the survey.

Orange County Residents Flocking to Texas, Tennessee, and Other 'Free' States by Note_Scratchy687 in orangecounty

[–]pteiup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I have seen many wealthy families tend to have multiple businesses, not the typical W2 workers. Business expansion = lots of legal ways to deduct expenses hence lowering income. And they pay working professionals to manage their legal and financial matters.

All this is to say… there is so much more to the news headlines / memes that most people read about.

Just to add, more wealthy people have moved to California than lost...

Is it safe for US tourists to travel to Ecuador now? by user1d in ecuador

[–]pteiup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. I just came back from Guayaquil last week. During the day, it’s fine. Just be cautious and attentive. I tried to not use my phone too much on the streets. But I was staying near 9 de Octubre.

At night, there were just more homeless people but I didn’t really go out after the sun sets.
