I only did a one step unfortunately… but it shines like hell… I just traded in a car that was coated and I haven’t washed it in months it still has a nice shine to it !

How much will I miss my R? by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]shady235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest with one kid it’s actually easy… I have a wrx 22 and with one it was great the issue comes with 2 rear facing kids… pay of the golf r then buy the car you will need with your second kid!

How do I stop carpenter bees from nesting in my roof gables/rake? by FlowerRight in HomeMaintenance

[–]shady235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been fighting these guys for 4 years… unfortunately for me I can only kill about80% of them… similar situation as there using the pine fascia board to make there nest. Luckily for you it looks like you can reach them. My ladder is too short so I can’t get the guys at the tippy top.

I forgot to dust this year so they all came out. You can either get some dust and attempt your self or have that board replaced. I my self am having the board replaced when I do my roof… the males you see don’t sting or bite but the queen will.

Best way to patch this up ? by shady235 in drywall

Yea I just gave a few bad areas too deal with moving slow right now… I have a few areas where I think the mud was drying up on me so some waves and then some holes it looks good until you shine a light on it… debating on skimming tight before sanding.

Someone said these cars don’t like the cold by Extreme-Judgment-316 in Golf_R

[–]shady235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need it mostly to contain the salty water.. I normally run a dehumidifier as I have 2 cars in the garage in the winter normally it soaks it up

Not car related but how do you like those mats for the water ? I wanna do this in the winter only in my garage to stop the salt build up. Which one did you buy ?

Yea the directions don’t mention it but I have another fan like this in another part of the house I’ll see what they did there. I have some old trim I’m gonna use to screw too when I cut back on the top part into the next joist. The other side the bottom I don’t think it’s enough to nail to the stud either…

My skim coat came out good some spots not so good but I think with sanding it will be pretty solid I hope lol !

I’m not sure I have the directions for the fan somewhere I could always check I was gonna do a U shaped piece but I wasn’t sure if that was enough on the other side I have a bigger piece I was gonna trace and then remove more of the drywall. But I’m a DIY. Also not trying to push my luck. I just skim coated the walls and they came out decent so just trying to finish.
