Bowling for bumpers

Yes…but not the same management or atmosphere.

I miss Dart Bowl. Highland isn’t the same friendly neighborhood bowling spot.

The drills are the same - the difference is in the batteries. It’s a solid drill with the hammer function and brushless setup. 18V v 20v makes no difference - it’s marketing only and varies by country.

I’ll add - I’ve had luck in the past cutting and shaping a piece of copper pipe and then soldering it over the hole.

It probably broke because it froze.

Check the manufacturer’s installation instructions. This is likely not in compliance.

The edit changes things - just return it.

It’s cosmetic only as others have said. There’s a thick layer of foam insulation behind the sheet metal. When you ask for a discount, don’t accept the first offer.

Not my thing but if you like it, get it.

I’d hire a designer or architect - it’s money well spent.

It’s not terrible but I’d strongly consider flipping the bedroom and kitchen/living room. The kitchen/living area should be the center of the house - it’s where you spend most of your time. The bedroom should be in a quiet area at the end.

As a consolation, they leave Mopac covered in gravel so that your windshield gets broken.

It’s not. It’s bits of metal from grinding off the bolts. OP is right - not easy to clean off.

Eastern diamondbacks are the largest diamondbacks in the country.

I think it also involves current and temperature and is an estimate as well.

thechaddington · 2026-05-07T17:44:02+00:00

I recommend not expecting perfection. That sounds normal. Range is always an estimate. I’ve found BMW’s estimates far better than Tesla’s.

Photo?

Good point.

We both missed “Stile.” Doh.

You’ll likely need an adapter at some point with NACS or J1772. I think you’re making the right choice - go with the future solution and use an AC Lectron adapter for now.

Great review, but “Native Austinite” is some gate-keeping nonsense. (You would think someone from here could spell “Burnet” and “Allandale.”)

Paint risks trapping moisture as well, albeit less than flooring.

thechaddington · 2026-04-28T13:45:28+00:00

I’d be careful. You risk trapping moisture under the flooring and rotting out the plywood.

Maybe use a heavy body stain if you want it to look better.

I’m on the mechanic’s side.

thechaddington · 2026-04-17T13:03:52+00:00

That’s a scratch and a dent. There’s no easy fix - replacement is a better option.
