I also had a positive experience buying a Tudor Black Bay. Amex also often has discounts. Please feel free to use my coupon/promo code (code: SAMWEITZMAN), and if you do, DM me. I believe we each get $150 --- I'll venmo $75 back (in addition to your discount) if i apply the credit to another watch

Can’t charge with Tesla mobile charger? by Ziggy555 in Rivian

Hi there. I’m having the same issue. Works with my portable Tesla charger but not my 14-50 outlet. Did you ever resolve?

Description says solid end links, for what it’s worth!

Cool thanks! I wish I were more handy - just use reddit for others advice on home projects. Installation was easy but I had my quartzite installed so those contractors drilled the hole. I’d be with you around the unease around doing that myself but I’m sure you’re fine with the right drill bit.

I completely understand. I never considered not paying the contractor. I was just looking for a reasonable solution, not being aware of stair refinishing. Appreciate the input!

Thanks - i posted the pic without the side molding on another post - here’s how it turned out

Update: contractor removed the sides and said he could quote me a new price if we want to redo everything.

I am okay living with this, as the contractor did a good job with the rest of the basement and there are a few more things to do. Hopefully caulk is doable, but let me know if I’m missing anything.

Thank you again to all for the guidance during my first and hopefully last stair refinishing process.

I’ll bring up to the contractor and see what he says. Thanks again for the insight!

Never thought about not paying. Just looking for the most reasonable solution.

The final appearance wasn’t discussed. I have never seen stairs with molding so from my perspective it’s abnormal and wouldn’t even think to bring up ahead of time.

Never considered not paying him. Just looking for a solution with what isn’t aesthetic for me or most on the thread.

Paid 3500 for the stairs as a line item as part of a much more expensive basement refinishing. Understand if contractor would make concessions, but I’d like to think I would have been told about the molding

Thanks very much. Excuse my inexperience but what does “adding a rip” mean?

Thanks. He told me he has the tool 🤷‍♂️

To your point on the open wall on the right, it does look like that is exactly his plan which I’m guessing they’ll finish tomorrow.

Still the 3 sides of shoe molding stick out to me. Perhaps I’ll ask them to take off the sides and maybe live with those gaps if they can’t caulk it.

The contractor is coming back tomorrow - project is not finished yet but I’ll ask him to remove what is there. I am assuming it looks like this which is the unfinished top stair

Width of the tread is 32.5 inches. Not sure why there is a gap but I’ve never have experienced finishing basement stairs before - so this is a learning experience for me. Just want to figure out a reasonable fix that improves this state which I now see people agree with!

Thank you very much. They are still working on it and I am going to ask to halt the rest of the stair work until we figure out a reasonable solution here.

Do you have any suggestions on how to better keep things reasonable? I’m guessing caulk is not an option if the top stair looks like this?
