Took the console back out of my car and wrapped the heated seats/steering wheel panel because I wasn't happy with how the plastic looked. Now it's better. Lexus should have done something to the center console rather than plain *** plastic. Bunch of donks... -Nigel

Wrapped my RCF's center console in brushed aluminum vinyl. Makes it look way nicer than a huge piece of plastic that Lexus did... Not sure why they cheaped out on an other wise really nice interior. Wasn't hard, just took my time. Looks 100x better now. I thought I wanted to get the entire...

Got a new car and put it "in" the garage...lol. Now I gotta figure out if I am getting rid of any cars. Lexus RCF. First time I've ever owned a naturally aspirated 8 cylinder. I test drove a black 19' and it put a smile on my face. Showed me a 2020 on the lot that had every option I had...

All good information. Whoever built the house in 2006 all the outlets are like this when I've come across them. When I add new outlets I always use the screw terminals. I never use the back stab wire method ever. I couldn't answer if the hot wire should have black tape on it? I have never...

So I took out the other outlet to see what it looks like. This is what it looks like. I guess what is the best way for me to test this in terms of if the outlet is connected to the first one. Simply unplug a set of black/white wires and if the other outlet down stream does NOT work, then I...

Appreciate the help everyone! That seems to have helped. I was just really confused because I didn't think you were supposed to mix wires like that, I've honestly never seen that before. So here is a super dumb question. Is there any way to know or find out if I can do the same with this...

I am going to hang a tv in the bedroom for my mother in law who is going to stay with us. I've mounted tvs and extended outlets/added outlets so my electrical work is basic but I know how to add an outlet on a normal wired outlet. However with this outlet in the bedroom I'm slightly confused...

lol, meaning while the car was on the lift and I was doing work via timing belt..etc. I decided to install the sterero. Being on the lift gave me incentive to install the headunit since I wasn't driving the car ;-p -Nigel

I was doing basic maintenance a couple weeks ago on the daily driver (solara). Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, all belts, spark plugs, vacuum lines, radiator hoses/clamps, pcv valve, valve covers and sparkplug tubes, cam seals, crank seal, battery...etc. While I had the car in the garage on...

I like these as well BUT how the hell do you get them to "lock". EVERY time I try and open them so that the little tab goes in the slot I can never get them to stay open, and then they slam shut and my finger is always near and gets wacked. Or I try and open them and the little tab doesn't go...

Thank you so much!! I was doing a google search for 34" t5 and everything was popping up either 2' lengths or 3-4' lengths. I figured this was a bulb that only the manufacture made and since I can't find them anymore figured this was done. So awesome! Thank you! -Nigel

OLD thread but wondering where one might find the bulbs for the Mountain MTNUL39? Looks like it is right around 34" T5 39 watt.... Can't seem to source it anywhere? I really like this light as I've had it for several years. Seems wasteful to throw out the light because I can't find a...

What is the actual bulb number? You can normally get Philips OEM or other bulbs cheaper. If the bulbs are lasting a month they are either generic Chinese garbage, you aren't cleaning the bulbs prior to installing (think oils from fingers) or there is something else causing the bulb to...

^ The only problem with doing it that way it and not having the trim go around the pole you would see the gap left from the floor to the pole. There would have been nothing hiding it and it would have looked unfinished. Completely agree about them firring out the wall though.. Still not sure...

Quick pics below. Came out ok. I could have sanded certain areas down more to make it more even but it's over with and at least the baseboards wall look like it was somewhat planned and not half assed like before...lol -Nigel

Opps!! Completely forgot to post the pics! I'll be back at my house in two days from a work event so I'll post pictures then. -Nigel

All installed now. Ended up using the 4x4 piece so that it would close the gap from the rear. We don't have kids and our dogs aren't going to put their paws that high but just figured in case it would be better. Ended up using four 4" wood deck screws into the cut 4x4 piece that then goes...

Thanks for all the tips and tricks! I went to Lowes and bought a 2x6x8 and a 4x4x8. I figured I'd probably screw up a couple times in order to get it right, plus see which one is best. Cutting the 2x6 is definitely easier than the 4x4. My problem with my table saw is that the blade only...

I bought some nice tiki torch wall mounts to mount on the 4x4 posts of our deck. They are replacing the crappy clamp on rail ones we've had for years that are rusted and falling apart. I've come to the corner of our deck where there is an opening between the two 4x4's transitioning to the...

Awesome thank you! I wonder why they didn't already just wire up the blue connector to common? Yep I should be able to pull the wire through the hole in the wall a few inches. It looks like it's just "pushed" in there. Appreciate the help! Glad this wasn't anything too hard and having to...
