    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Lighting question: pot lights that flicker when lights are turned on in another room. All are on dimmer switches (kasaa smart switch in one room, decora 3-way dimmer switches on two other rooms. What’s the fix that retains dimming ability?

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    What year is your F150? Here’s my ‘24 and it couldn’t be easier now. One bolt holds the battery strap and one nut on each terminal. Easy peasy and lots of room. I believe 21+ should be the same. I have a few extra wires for stereo/charger currently. Put the maintainer/reconditioner on a few...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I should clarify, not easy if you're a 17yr old without much experience in this regard and there's no YT vids to show how as it's the early 90's. Ariens Platinum. Only a few hundred dollars more than a Deluxe and it's lovingly overbuilt and worth it. Huge engine, faster impeller, heated grips...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Except the rear main seal. That was the one thing on my '88 F150 that broke that I couldn't fix. Hole rusted through the floor by the highbeam switch as well as much of the body, muffler fell off, but the driveline was amazing (and to be fair took a heck of a beating from me).

    100% this^^^^ MP - It's exactly what I was thinking as I was reading the post. Plus it gives a nice backdrop should you wish to place a company name/logo on it. Will also hold some resale should you ever sell it. Another option is to rent it out when not in use.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Cleaned my MX and street helmets. After two years I realized the chin vent on my HJC 71 also has a tilt feature when in the open position. I googled it after discovering it and it's called an air "Turbo Boost". This will definitely make me faster next season! It did make getting the 4 housefly...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Sled sales are in the toilet right now and amazing deals can be had on amazing machines. Having sleds with good Hi/Lo comp adjustable shocks was a game changer for me in having a sled that handled great in all conditions and not having to touch the clickers part way through the day. If we ever...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I had the same issue. Lake O to the south so going North/East/West were my only options and with a lake to my immediate North that wasn't even being staked/checked much anymore and losing trails East/West meant more road-riding than I liked locked me into riding local trails only as I wasn't...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    You're not wrong. Don't listen to the "I heard/think" people. Friend of mine loves his and his ER gets 500km on a full charge (as long as he keeps the speed in check). IMO buying a new one with a cheap negotiated long-term warranty would be the way to go and I think the prices on them will go...

    On this topic, products or tips to get rid of air leaks from door hardware (deadbolts, handles)?

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That does help, thanks. Have a buddy coming by next week with a scope that I should be able to slide down beside the pipe without cutting to check for a Ptrap there.

    I'm guessing that is the water supply for fridge.

    Dishwasher to the right of the sink yes.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    No other info available as the floor below is finished. No other persons worked on the plumbing other than the ones' (trades) who built it. I'm not saying they were competent, just that whatever trades the home builder chose are the ones who did the work. The drain just clogged one day. It's...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    No just simple MDF shaker doors. The Poly clear didn't come out nice enough so I want to just sand them and repaint white and skip the poly (they're already white). I think I'll just save the cash and and headache and roll them.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Are any of the <$100 paint spray guns decent? I'm fancying repainting 8 cabinet doors that I'm not currently happy with. They're not in the kitchen and don't need to be perfect, just acceptable. I could also roll them which is what I might end up doing I was just thinking spraying them might...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    No I can't see below as this is the island. As we had the house built I may have a photo of the area before the island was installed over that area..

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    While we're on the plumbing topic as well, any tips to free up a kitchen sink? There's no P-Trap that I can see unless there's a valve in there somewhere. We've tried the baking soda+vinegar trick a few times with limited success.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Sold sleds/trailer/gear last winter as we weren’t getting out enough. I miss it, but I don’t miss how short of a season it is and all the maintenance and space they require.
