Yup, it’s impressive how bad it is. It’s almost more work to be this bad lol. Its even worse if you notice that they didn’t cover up the coax ports to paint, so it’s entirely clogged up. If I wanted to use them, I would need to cut and re-terminate it.
Yup it’s just a backer board there. Easy enough to remove to switch to a double gang, but also easy ish to clean up and patch it, if I don’t texture
That looks like an easy option. Might not even have to remove the backer if it lines up right. We are planning on running ethernet but not here. It’s the corner of the dining room so it would be useless
Luckily it seems they didn’t touch the actual plumbing too much, but the aesthetic things around the plumbing. Like the tile around the shower faucet handle was done poorly and there’s gaps that need filling in. Or behind one remodeled sink they cut a huge hole in the drywall that’s almost star shaped somehow. But the plumbing connections at least seem to be done correctly.
Good tips for the tools. I’m lucky enough to live by a tool library so I’m checking there for anything I don’t have and I’ll only use it once or twice.
Thanks for the advice! I imagine I’ll get a better idea on what to scrap and start over after a few fixes. But I’ll try and keep this in mind when planning. And double thanks for the channel recommendations! Looks like a lot of good content to binge :)
I suppose you’re right. Plus there will be more content on Lemmy which is always good! Thanks!
We were thinking about that, but our yard is a bit complex with shape and existing features and would prefer a professional to help us think of any potential problems we’d run into.
Architect! That sounds more like what I’m wanting. I’ll search around for one, thanks!
Assuming your smart TV is android, project ivy is my favorite.
Fantastic movie. I went in without knowing anything other than “People said it was good”, and I was blown away.
This post made me try again to find a solution, and maybe a USB extension cord with a on/off switch could work. It’s not automated but would be more convenient than removing the dongle each time. I’m thinking something like this
I have this exact same problem, but with a Chevy bolt. Some cars USB ports are “always on” and some aren’t. Might be worth trying different ones and see if there’s a port that doesn’t power on randomly. This didn’t work on my car, but it’s a common solution I came across when I was trying to figure it out. For now, I’ve just reverted back to wired AA.
They should use Lithium Iron batteries for a real LiFe pro tip
The yacht was a bad example. What I’m getting at is that not hating something is not the same as supporting it. I don’t support Dave doing this, but I don’t hate him for doing it either.
Yeah, I can see how it could be seen that way. I’m thinking more along the lines of “Dave performs for money. Someone wants to pay a lot of money for a special performance, and it doesn’t affect any of his other shows so of course he would do it”. IMO what Dave did isn’t unethical, but I can see how it could be seen that way. But I also think if the article was “Amazon Execs bought a multi million dollar yacht after massive layoffs”, no one would be blaming the yacht manufacturer. Just the execs.
Eh, all he did was accept money to do exactly what he does: play a concert. Now if he canceled other concerts just for this, that would be a different story IMO. The Amazon execs would just buy a yacht or something instead if Dave declined.
Apparently there’s only 10 or so Vaquita’s left now. :( https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/vaquita
Nah, its just a cheap “marble” laminate countertop I use for a desk. Can’t convince myself to get a nice wood one when this holds up and looks decent
“Problem” is probably a stretch lol. It just looked sloppy before IMO
Its not a stud, its a piece of fiber board screwed into place. I’m guessing it was supposed to be backing for a patch that never happened. The double gang would be empty, just a blank wall plate, or half existing coax and half blank
