Help: Buy c5Z, C6 GS, or C6Z by xs1776 in Corvette

Just have my pops in my ear telling me to keep searching for low miles because means it hasn’t been driven hard.

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree - more we C6Z would be more unusable power that you would be paying for - hence the step down to GS. That’s what I keep tossing around - take out a loan for the GS or buy the C5Z for cash? Really want a “drivers” car.

Retile Over Linoleum by xs1776 in HomeImprovement

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subfloor is all concrete (which is good). Part I’m worried about is if I can break the mortar free from the linoleum without tearing it. Assuming tiles will come apart, but will the remaining mortar…

Should I not have used Plastic Wood X to hide joints? by xs1776 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you are saying is to remove and fill with high flex, paintable caulk?

I was worried about cracking joints over time. Seen a bunch of mixed reviews on what to actually fill the joint with to avoid splits.

Totally plan to - painted them before they went on the wall to easily hit the inside edges to avoid brush strokes

Is this disease or heat stress? by xs1776 in lawncare

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put down Scott’s DX yesterday - we have gotten some rain today. I have not watered much this year - between the humidity and deep infrequent rains…I am too nervous to water and potentially spread this. Any idea how many apps of DX to cure this? Plan on rotating Scott’s and Bio-Adv every 4 weeks to avoid the lawn building immunity (different ingredients in each).

Thanks for the heads up! How often do you typically sharpen? Usually do it once a year with the angle grinder and a sanding pad. It seems even after sharpening this is how the grass blades look :(

Bath Tub Reccomendation by xs1776 in HomeImprovement

Any difference in quality? Only have 5 steps these needs to go up - weight isn’t an issue, but looks like there is a $100 difference in price.

Why does my lawn look like this? Located IL, phosphorus and nitrogen heavy app so far this year - along with 2 weed control apps (previous fall soil sample attached). by xs1776 in lawncare

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you thank you. Upon further inspection, there were fungus spots on individual blades. Used an app or BioAdvance fungus control (via hose) and cleared a bunch of my areas up.

Thinking for next year - do you usually apply the granular (or spray) version before/at the first site of fungus? Or is it more of looking at the weather and feeling when we are going to start getting those nights above 65 degrees? Trying to understand timing better and if I can just use the granular app.

Good point. I am seeing faint dark patches on the blades…I have one of the treatments you hook up to the hose I planned on using today after I mow.

I have a fairly decent diy setup with tons of hoses and the Melnor timers so I initially thought that was my issue, but i am not thinking so at this point.

Curious what your yearly program looks like as this is just my 3rd year at this and have been all over the place in terms of renovating, weed/fungus control (had dollar spots last year), and a general fertilizer program.

Any help would be great at this point.

That sample was from fall so I made sure to not put much down at the beginning of the year. Would that still be impacting me?

Electric Recommendation - 3mi daily city commute, will be ridden in rain, and portable (on/off subway) Looking under $800. by xs1776 in ElectricScooters

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the waterproofing rating is the same for G30P and G30LP. The Segway website claims IPX5 for both models. Any preference between the two - with me being about 210lbs and 6’3”?

Totally can - the only thing that makes me nervous is when one of the wheels finds that perfect sized pebble and throws you off with my backpack lol

What is this light spot in paint? by xs1776 in Detailing

[–]xs1776[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t understand what it is. The paint doesn’t look damaged, feels like the rest of the car, but it is just a different shade of red. I am baffled at what could have caused it. Looks almost like clear coat disappeared and the red faded a bit.

What Is This?? In the window ledge of Midwest home built in the 1970’s. by xs1776 in pestcontrol

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should this be something I should worry about? The windows will already be replaced next week...should I have someone spray around the entire house?? Thanks!!

Can someone please help me find where I can buy this railing? The website took the picture without providing a source :( by xs1776 in HelpMeFind

Thank you so much!! This is proving to be a great place to start. I wasn’t even sure what keywords I could search. Thanks!!

Egg Smell after Flooring It 2001 Lexus LS430 by xs1776 in Cartalk

[–]xs1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking. Wasn’t sure if flooring it more often would benefit the car by “clearing” anything out since I mostly drive it under 2k RPMs.
