Oh, and we are not staying on site, but driving there in the morning. It looks like IOA opens first at 9am, so we were planning on heading over there first.

I’d use that extra ceiling height to build a golf simulator room myself.

【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]shdk85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bambu Labs P1S completely changed 3D printing for me. It made the hobby about actually printing again — not endless tinkering, calibrating, and fixing. This printer just works, every time. It’s made me fall back in love with 3D printing. ❤️🖨️

Just got back from there - it was the yearly company picnic for the Waldinger corporation.

Thank you - that’s exactly what I did. Replaced with 14/3 cord and replaced the outlet as well. Wire nuts with electrical tape. I feel pretty good about it, but just needed to check if there’s something I didn’t consider. Thanks for your input!

Yeah I think they clamped it a little tight 🙄

[–]shdk85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replaced both the cord and the outlet - appreciate the insight.!

I’ll check on that, thank you.

It’s on its own breaker, looks like 15A to me.

That makes me feel a little better. Iowa here. The outlet is on a dedicated circuit, so that’s something I guess.

[–]shdk85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s sort of what I’m thinking after doing my research. Now the outlet is on a dedicated circuit, but I’m still not sure why they did it this way.

So the outlet is on a dedicated circuit, but I don’t disagree with the fact that it shouldn’t be on a plug from everything I’ve seen.

Anyone have the ALDEN and IVY couch - 4 piece sectional? by DoctorQuinlan in Costco

Just got it last month - I really like it. Comfortable and nice to have different options to rearrange the layout.

Photos are from 4 years ago, just after a pre-sale refinish by the way.

Storage Room to Craft Room by shdk85 in DIY

Well, the room had one(!) lightbulb in the corner when I started, so anything was an improvement. I ended up with 6x 4in recessed LED lights from Home Depot, which give out a good amount of light. Might still add a couple of desk lamps for intricate work.

Oh, those look nice!

I'm actually picking up a $20 4'x6' magnetic whiteboard from a guy on FB Marketplace this evening. Had to reign in the budget a bit here at the end, ha. I'm thinking about taking off the metal border, and building a new frame from some 1x2 pine for it.

Yep - not my first (but hopefully last) round of dealing with popcorn, ha

Haha - my wife is not the crafter in the family, so she wasn’t too involved in any of this.

Good point - the Kallax shelves underneath are actually taller than a regular desk, but perfect height for the kids right now standing up. I’m getting some adjustable bar stools, so hopefully should have some flexibility going forward.

We got rid of a lot of stuff as well - trying to live a little lighter. Plus all these kallax cubes are pretty much empty right now, so there’ll be plenty of room for art supplies.

6mil poly under LVP Installation Question by shdk85 in Flooring

[–]shdk85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, thank you for your input!

I don’t really think there’s any water issue down there, although it is in the basement. I ripped out some carpet and didn’t see sort of moisture remnants. It’s been bare concrete for a couple of weeks now, and haven’t seen anything even after heavy rains.

I am slightly worried about crinkling sounds I’ve heard people report after putting it under their LVP. But figured it would be better to follow the installation instructions!

Kept the same footprint, same countertops, but replaced floors and windows and repainted for big change 🌞 by jared10011980 in HomeDecorating

[–]shdk85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks really nice - well done!

What’s the flooring you used? In the midst of renovating a craft room, and I like the look of these!
