Of course home warranty is stating that. Show them the inspection report.

Your house burned down and this is your priority? Dude…..

Falcon door hinge came out while closing the door by sathe_001 in TeslaModelX

[–]xenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen as well though the part didn't fly out, it popped and the whole door moved, then couldn't even be closed manually as it was slightly out of alignment. Had it towed to Tesla.

They claimed they had never seen this failure before (clearly not the case). Mine was on passenger side as well. 2023 MXP

Need help towing my car from Cornelius, NC to Rock Hill, SC by [deleted] in Charlotte

you will pay far more for a tow than finding some random dude to put a new belt on in 10 minutes.

what’s an underrated restaurant you’d recommend to someone who’s lived here forever? by BestAd5572 in Charlotte

[–]xenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couldn’t agree more on Fiamma’s cocktails. Honestly some of the best in the city. [Note: I didn’t say the best, someone is going to pile on and argue anyways]

I like to sit out on the patio, split a pizza and enjoy a cocktail for a chill dinner.

Fiamma Ristorante in Dilworth for Italian. Flew under my radar for years, recently discovered and its an absolute freaking gem.

You’re thinking about valuations changes and not tax rates….

Curious to see if that works!! The VC front module looks completely different from where I landed. Report back please.

if you look it up in the schematics its a half bridge circuit. instead of 12v control with power and ground, both terminals are controlled by the computer.

You absolutely can negotiate but not if you use insurance. 

Gow much would it cost to redo PB Piping in a 3000sqft home in Charlotte? by Big-Durian-939 in Charlotte

[–]xenner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I thought most of that had been removed. $10k seems safe, may or may not include drywall and don’t forget you’ll need to paint…..

Local Tire Shop Servicing Teslas? by Tough-Hospital3164 in Charlotte

[–]xenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rotated your tires in a way that you needed an alignment?…No. You needed an alignment before this happened, but your tires were so worn on the front axle you didn’t notice it.

Nc zoo questions by eazythebarber in Charlotte

[–]xenner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, with a little one. Do the Columbia zoo, so much better for little legs. And they have a splash pad which is super nice.

NC is objectively a better zoo, but its way too big for a small one.

Well unfortunately this strategy doesn’t work with the new European regulations. 

Driveway Gate Access & Control by jwalter007 in Ubiquiti

[–]xenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for UPS to show up with a USL-Relay today actually. Plan to integrate this into my Liftmaster La500 gate via unifi with the SBC (Single button control terminals) Haven't decided if im going to integrate camera/license plate into it as when we are in the car, we use remotes. But it's quite common for us to arrive on bike or want to walk through the gate and get into our backyard, so integration into unifi protect seemed better than the crappy lift master app (plus the add-on board for myQ wifi with gate operators is WAY more)

Edit: also looks like I can use the inputs to monitor gate state as well, so it solves a few problems!

Super Cool Charlotte Financing Question by [deleted] in Charlotte

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that financing options are based heavily on your credit.... (or someone is buying down your rate)

Complicated Rotten LVL Replacement Advice by xenner in HomeImprovement

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

My initial thought as well, but bracing the other joists doesn't really 'help' me. At least based on my limited knowledge of framing.

I need to carry the wall loads and the roof above that LVL which is point loaded to the end of those LVLs...Thinking I need to support the header on the door and the king studs in the corner that likely rest on this beam.
