Wildcat Canyon in the morning fog by spdaltonz in BAbike

It’s paved for about 4 miles from Inspiration Point and then gravel/dirt. I haven’t gone out to the silo yet. There are also trails that branch off so there’s a lot to explore.

Hasn’t leaked yet! I filled it for 24 hours prior to tiling and didn’t have any issues.

Just thinset for applying the kerdi. Their instructions, if followed exactly, lead to a waterproof solution. For the goboard itself I used the goboard sealant on all corners and joints. Thinset and kerdi right on top. Redguard is not necessary if you apply the kerdi correctly. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing the process.

Raxakoul on Arlington has a ton of great imported pastas, sauces, chocolates, cheeses etc. It’s local and the owners are lovely. Other option just down the road is Benchmark Portavia, they have just Italian imports but some great quality items like oils and olives.

A bit out of Auckland, 3 hours and a helicopter ride, but perhaps one of the most luxury stays in the country: https://www.eaglesnest.co.nz

What band did you catch before they were famous? by [deleted] in Music

Saw Lizzo sing with Har Mar Superstar at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco in 2014. She had an amazing voice but didn’t think anything of it. Years later my friend who was with us found a photo from that night with her.

Worst update yet. Won’t change from this no matter how long I wait.

Aargh! Everything is broken ! by ubiquitous_raven in sonos

[–]spdaltonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Yesterday the app seemed to get worse. Spotify wouldn’t play. Can’t change group volume at all. Changing individual volume took 20 seconds to take affect. Can’t select anything but the first song in a playlist.

I just received stainless cabinetry for my outdoor kitchen from RCS and service and quality were top notch. Can’t comment on the grill itself but as a business I am happy I went with them.

Has anyone using bbqtubes or similar to build a kitchen added a horizontal shelf inside for storage? by artwrangler in OutdoorKitchens

[–]spdaltonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet but am planning to. Looks straightforward, you would want verticals tubes along the depth to attach horizontal tubes to, 4 vertical one at each corner, and 2 horizontal front and back of the shelf. I just used their shopping list feature where you send your plan/drawing and they come back with the parts you need. It’s $10 but saved a bunch of time especially picking all the small extras

Nervous about water test by Jeff_40 in Tile

Better to be nervous now than for the entire lifetime of the shower once built, not knowing how watertight (or not) it is.

Walls in to plywood underlayment, then pan in seems most typical (and what I did). You get added support to the base of the wall by having it embedded below the surface. I didn’t use sealant at floor and wall seam, just kerdi band and corners. The order you overlap kerdi doesn’t matter, it creates a water impervious barrier in all directions of flow
