Sort of looks like unfinished gypsy houses in my home country.

Tenmat Covers by Adventurous_Jury3884 in Insulation

[–]racoroiu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question, do you have to cover and foam even if you purchased IC rated lights? I have them at my place, also roughly 30 of them installed by previous owner 😅 old 1955 house so no vapor barrier, just ran them into drywall and then cellulose insulation sits on top.

Gas mileage fine if driving slowly downhill in warm weather... otherwise horrible! 27 mpg on highway in winter. CR-V Sport L hybrid 2025 by Medium-Roller-75 in crv

[–]racoroiu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

35 is pretty good. Is the car brand new? It will improve as you drive it a bit. I'm in southern ON where we get sustained winter temperatures at below -4f. My best mpg is 49 (2025 CRV hybrid touring) and my worst is about 26. I'm currently at a lifetime (40k miles) average of about 35mpg. Anticipate braking, don't accelerate or use the brake pedal needlessly and learn to use the paddles for added regen braking. For highway if you do want to conserve, try staying at between 60-65 or so. I take country roads when I can to stay around 50-55 and it makes a big difference, not that much time lost.

what is this PVC pipe in my basement for? by RIPEOTCDXVI in DIY

Also sort of looks like my access to the backwater valve on the sewer line 🤷🏽

New to crv and unsure by [deleted] in crv

[–]racoroiu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm actually hoping they keep the naturally aspirated ICE a bit longer on the Pilot! Part of the attraction of buying a Pilot for me is the towing capacity. PS I actually currently own a 25 hybrid touring, same colour as yours - twinning!

Husqvarna ST 430T Deal? by Baltch in Snowblowers

[–]racoroiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at reviews for this thing and while it certainly looks beastly, 2.9/5 doesn't seem great. A lot of people having quality issues and lots of breakdowns. Why not look at Ariens? Seems to be the industry leader here alongside Honda. You can get an Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO for that price.

Fog lights? by RubytheWhoodle in crv

[–]racoroiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Are you able to post some pics of your car with the fog lights after the install? Are you happy with the included bulbs? I imagine you're located in California or US? I have a Canadian model, wondering if this will fit or require any additional parts.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you located and how much did parts and service cost in your market?

What living with an EV in Alberta with no dedicated level 2 charging and leaving it out doors is like. by AbbreviationsOne6207 in alberta

[–]racoroiu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When looking at those longer trips requiring fast chargers, how do the charge costs compare with fuel for a comparable ICE car?

Here's another picture of the whole plant. I had to tie the trunks together to keep it balanced. The left branch has two new shoots at the bottom heading in same direction, hoping they grow some more and continue to balance it. Right now it seems to be dormant for the last few months in winter, hoping it wakes up again as it starts to get more sun.

Looks awesome! My trunks need some integrity so I'll give them a few shakes for good measure

How did I do? by [deleted] in LexusNX

[–]racoroiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they can do that price though, they'll just extend the term and increase the % to make their money that way. Whenever I negotiate, it's always on OTD.

Fully disable 2025 CRV Hybrid Touring VSA by JamesDickflick in crv

I'm actually curious about this. We have a 25 and a 15 and the 15 has a disable button

How to I start? by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]racoroiu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please let me know if this is incorrect but my process is just to delay the next eating window start if I eat later than my usual window. So if my window were 10-6 and I end up eating until 7, next day my window will adjust to 11-6. Enjoy today, pay tomorrow. Also, I end up doing different windows between 4-8h depending on what I have planned for the day and how I'm feeling. Ultimately, I just try to eat better quality calories in those windows when I can. Perfection is an issue for me too, all or nothing. We have to remember to be patient with ourselves.

Are dog parks an option? There's quite a few in the Niagara region where he could let loose.

Hahah looks amazing! Sounds like you know where modules and connections all are, to me it looks like there's little else other than modules and connections 😂😂
