Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with the Matte Satin Ceramic Black Car Wrap. I recently decided to give my ride a makeover, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This car wrap is truly something special.
First off, let's talk about the color. The Matte Satin Ceramic Black Car Wrap has this sleek, sophisticated look that really sets it apart. It's not your typical matte black; there's a subtle satin finish that adds a touch of elegance to the overall appearance. Whether you're cruising during the day or making a statement at night, this wrap commands attention and turns heads wherever you go.
But it's not just about looks; the quality of this wrap is top-notch. Made from high-grade vinyl materials, it's durable and built to last. I've had it on my car for a few months now, and it still looks as good as the day I got it. Plus, it's resistant to fading, so I don't have to worry about it losing its sleek finish over time.
Another thing I love about the Matte Satin Ceramic Black Car Wrap is how easy it was to install. I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to car stuff, but I was able to apply it myself with just a little bit of patience and a heat gun. It went on smoothly and didn't leave any air bubbles or wrinkles, which is a huge plus in my book.
Overall, I can't recommend the Matte Satin Ceramic Black Car Wrap enough. Whether you're looking to give your car a fresh new look or simply want to protect its paint job, this wrap is the way to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

I'm in the process of a DIY install of a 16x32 vinyl liner pool with a wedge bottom that slopes down to 6ft deep. I'm about ready to do the poolcrete bottom but my soil is pretty much a mix is sand and river rock type stones. When I try to shape the dirt part of the walls in the deep end they slide down like a dry sand castle.
I'm thinking I could wet the dirt to help it hold together and shape the form of the walls until I get the poolcrete installed unless there is a better way.
The poolcrete instructions say to remove rocks before laying it Down but my soil is mainly small to medium sized rocks and sand.
Does anyone else have advice on how they've successfully handled a similar situation with rocky sandy soil?

when installing the T&G paneling, how far off the floor should it start?
I've heard to leave a half inch gap, I've also heard to run it all the way down and put caulk...
further to that, should the foil membrane be taped to the bottom plate or just staples?
Thank you!

Our front porch has vinyl click lock flooring but whoever installed it decided to screw down the piece under the screen door instead of installing some sort of threshold or sill. What would be the ideal way to install a threshold in this situation? Door opens inward. Thanks!!

What would be the best way to properly prepare this floor to install vinyl plank flooring in our basement?
I believe the previous homeowners had carpet here before. The hot water heater busted just before they put it on the market and had someone clean it up and looks to have put some kind of sealant down. I think they didn’t take their time and left this texture (2nd pic). The white spots is plaster the drywallers dropped, not as worried about that.
Is there anything I could do to prep this floor myself? My toolbox is pretty limited right now and I’ve only really saved up enough for the plank flooring/underlayment so a contractor is likely out of the question, but not entirely. I’m handy enough to be able to figure most things out with some YouTube help. I want to make sure I do this right as I know it’ll cost me more in the long run if I don’t do it right.

I’ve been scouring the internet for suggestions on how to fix this pretty sizable hole between these two doors at the sill. When I look from floor level I can see clear to the outside and can feel hot/cold air coming in. I went to Home Depot and was informed that what is missing here is an Astragal Boot.
This suggestion has popped up on a couple of other internet threads as well. Some other suggestions were to shove weatherstripping in there, replace the whole astragal with one that is longer or install longer door sweeps. One person even custom fabricated a wood replacement.
Some resources I’ve seen mentioned:

• ThermaTru Doors: Inswing Aluminum Astragal Boot - $17.25
• Reflect Window & Door: Horseshoe Astragal Seal - $55.01
• KS Hardware High-Performance Aluminum Astragal Seal Kit for Double Doors (Horse Shoe Astragal Seal) - $44.99
• Zonon Corner Seal Pads for Door Exterior Door Frame Seal Door Corner Seals Self Adhesive Draft Stoppers Foam Weather Stripping(White, 8 Pieces) - $4.99

I ended up measuring the space and cutting it out in a rigid foam and gluing that to the underside of the door frame with a hole cut out so the lock can pass through.
I’ve attached some before and after photos for everyone.
Hopefully this helps others who have the same issue!

We tore up half a bedroom worth of vinyl sheet floor without ever knowing about asbestos, I was 14 when this happened and im 21 now. My dad just didn’t know, but I still feel upset that it happened and got us all exposed, including my little brother and sister who were 6 and 8 at the time.
My dad even sanded the black adhesive under the vinyl for 30 minutes while we were there, no god damn ppe aside from an n95 that I wasn’t even wearing because I was 14 and uninformed about the danger.
Its been 3 months since I found out and im still uneasy about it, we tore that damn floor to shreds with roof shingle removal tools because it was so stuck the floor. It came off tear after tear, piece after piece. I think I may have spent 2-5 hours there helping my parents, and the sander was on for 30 minutes while I was there, I may have worn an n95 for half the time I was there but idk anymore because my pictures show me not wearing it.
The only good thing is that the door to outside and a window were open so I don’t think the fibers just stayed in the aree were working in, and also the asbestos was probably white asbestos since thats was mostly used in floor. We also didnt live in this house ever, it was a second home.
And I have read about one time exposure, ive read that its considered low risk, but I feel like my situation might be different. This wasn’t just a popcorn ceiling that I stared at the wrong way, my dad sanded asbestos and thats about the worst thing you can do. He only did it for an hour or 2 and we were only in the room for less than 30 minutes when he did it, but we were certainly exposed and definitely inhaled asbestos. Also those damn vinyl floors have a gray/white backing under the vinyl pattern that can apparently be 100% asbestos, and thats terrifying.
The only good thing is my brother and sister were probably exposed for less than 30 minutes total because they spent the day outside playing, but it’s still terrifying to think they were exposed at all. It’s also scary that I don’t truly know the full extent of the exposure, im only guessing how long we were exposed based on photos and videos from that day. It could be more, but it’s probably less than I would think. I also know it was very dusty in the room, but asbestos is invisible so…
Regardless, I was definitely exposed and I want to know if the general idea of one time exposure being low risk still applies to me. I was very young when exposed, was there for up to 5 hours (probably less), and black asbestos adhesive was sanded for 30 minutes while I was there without ppe. The sheet floor we tore up may have had a very high percentage of asbestos, me and my mom were doing that for hours without, let alone my dad who spent days sanding asbestos for almost a week total as he sanded about 5 rooms worth of the stuff while we werent there. He only had an n95.
Did I get a common one time exposure that happens to lots of people, or is this worse than that?
(Also sorry if I come off as paranoid, I have been dealing with ocd since I went through a house fire a year ago, im working on getting over it though)

Storage Unit Security
Hi! I am a 36F who keeps a lot of work items in a storage unit. I often need to go in on a weekly basis, and have always felt comfortable as it is in a good area, and I’ve never experienced any issues. The office staff stay until 6PM but unit access is until 10PM. After having an impromptu meeting pop up, I needed to go to the unit at 8PM to pick up some items for the next days impromptu meeting. As I was walking to my unit, I locked eyes with a NAKED man in the hallway. He stepped backward after seeing me, and hid in his unit. I yelled out “I’m leaving! I’m getting out of here” and ran towards the elevator. It felt like the elevator was taking forever to come, and I’ve never been so scared in my life. He could’ve dragged me into his unit, he could’ve hurt me in fear I’d tell on him. Although he did not do anything, I still feel violated and I feel very unsafe going there, even if they move my unit to a different floor. They have not cut the persons contract but are only allowing him to enter during office hours. I feel like my feelings aren’t validated.
I don’t ever want any female to experience the fear I felt. I’m somewhat traumatized from it. Flight or fight mode. Do I have any type of case here?
If not, how can I advocate for security cameras to be installed in the hallway, or for an employee to stay until 10PM… OR at least install a silent alarm someone can press if needed?

Hi everyone. So I'm looking for some guidance in this situation. Located in west valley city, Utah.
August 2023, my wife and I purchased a home (townhome) in West Valley City. Its an older unit but we wanted it as a starting home.
We knew this home came with some small cosmetic issues and 1 outside problem. The outside problem was mostly seasonal, and everything else was fine since the house is in a great location from freeways and main roads and the shops around it are growing so we saw the future potential on the home.
The outside issue is that our driveway collects water during rain time. To the point on which we would have 2 inchs of standing water on our driveway. The issue goes away around 24-48 hrs after it stop raining and it goes back to normal. Other than that the issue is almost nonexistent.
When we bought the house. We knew it came with an HOA. Yeah we know it was our first mistake. But this house was in our budget. It fill most of our requirement list and we saw the future that it had. We read the HOA requirements and what they covered and the requirements weren't so terrible, and they covered a lot of things we thought were okay.
On August we saw that when it rain, water would accumulate on the driveway. We signed the papers on august. We already knew about the standing water since we did a full inspection before buying the house. And this was address during the inspection. However, the seller and previous tenants told us that the HOA was working on the situation. We started to see what else we could do about it from our end. And found out the HOA covers this part of the house and we couldnt do much without havingto involve the HOA.
We called them in August. Addressed the issue with them and specifically told them that the issue was in our driveway and no where else and that the water was filtering into the living room when it was too severe. We decided to not install our floors until this issue was addressed. On September we "moved in" and we started to work on the house.
On September 27th, The HOA sent a company to come "fix the issue". I happened to be home that day. No one called us and told us anything. I was getting there and they were knocking on the door and thats how I found out. We had to reschedule with the concrete company because no one told us anything and we were working on the house. So we weren't ready. They came back about a week later and what they did was installed a French drain outside on the grass area and didnt do anything to address the driveway issue. When the concrete people came, they worked on the inside, removed our drywall and left our home. I called the concrete company directly and asked them when they were going to finish our walls and they said that "we remove the drywall and insulation but we dont installed it again. We do the other work. The finishing and installation of drywall has to be some other company or someone else since we dont do that". We told the HOA and no one did anything so I fixed it myself.
We contacted the HOA and told them we still have the problem. We address the issue again to them. That the driveway is the problem and not the grass area. Because the issue was not fix. They said they would look at it and let us know what other thing they could do.
We waited about 2 weeks and we emailed them again, and no answer. We emailed them again after another week and no answer. By this point it was already almost November. I emailed them once again but this time in a more threatening way saying that if something happen to my family and my property in relationship to the standing water (water freezing and my wife falling down. My car sliding off because of the ice or my walls getting damaged due to water expanding inside) they would be responsible for it. Within 24hrs we got an answer and 3 days later they came over to check what else they could do.
They said that because of the weather they couldnt do much. (No shit) It was almost December by now. And I told them thats why we let them know back August/September and they ignored us. We decided to wait until 2024 and see what they would do.
Well we reached out again on February and in march 2024 the concrete company came to the house to "fix the issue" when they arrived without giving us a noticed they saw that what they had schedule was not even what they could do and they had to reschedule. They said they would called us in about 48hrs and tell us a plan. Well its may and we still havent heard from the HOA or concrete company.
We are going to 1 year of trying to fix this issue and the HOA keeps ignoring us and pretending that they dont know whats going on. We emailed them twice in the last weeks. First email was ignored. Second they said they would let us know. This was almost 2 weeks ago
What can we do to fix this? All i want is the driveway to be fix so I can install my floors. I have over $2k on material sitting in my living room because I cant install it because I dont know when they will fix it and if they are doing anything inside the house. Since I have concrete on the main level it gets extremely cold during winter and I have a 2 year. Space heaters are expensive on electricity and I cant keep one running 24/7. Are there attorneys or organizations that dont charge much who can help me or guide me? Like i said all I want is to get it done and fix and nothing else. I dont care what the HOA does after. I just want to finish my house.
We suggested them to install a drain or some type of way to send the water outside but they keep ignoring us and saying they will see what other things they could do. Any one has any suggestions on what to do?

I am planning on installing some CoreTec lvp in this basement after removing the carpet I am now seeing these cracks that are bulging from the rest of the floor by about a 1/2-3/4in. I should also note it is about 400 sqft and the whole floor is sloped towards the drain I have pictured. I’m not looking to level the floor, just flatten enough for the lvp to not flex.
I’m afraid if I use a self leveler it will flow toward the train (of course I would plug it before pouring)
Would using a tile thin set and feathering out the bulges a few feet be a bad idea?
How should I handle this?

I recently installed wood floors. And i saw multiple cracks after the floor was finished. Is this common or it needs to be fixed. If so how?
Also 1 plank in 3 rooms are squeaking. Can this be fixed?

I recently mostly finished the inside of a 2 car garage. Started off as a pole barn. Approx 24' x 24' with 9' high ceilings. I ran out of time to finish everything before I had to move. So I hired a contractor off craigslist to do the final finishing on the drywall. I had got done taping the joints/covering the screws, but it needed some more coats of mud on the joints and priming. I got quoted $1400 and I was fine with it, I was so tired of drywall at that point. I supplied all the product and tools (which seemed a bit odd to me, but whatever).
I also decided to have them paint to save me some time when I go back to finish trim/electrical. I got Sherwin William - Emerald which claims to be 1 coat coverage. Doing same color on walls and ceiling. The floor is already covered in RAM board, no trim installed anywhere. No outlets/switches installed (except for 1 outlet for the light).
I got quoted $1250 for painting, which seems awfully high to me. There's minimal prep work needed, only thing I can think of is covering the two exterior doors (normal size entry doors, not garage doors for cars). And one window.
Its basically like new construction, and I just have a hard time understanding how this is anymore than a one person, one day job. I supplied 9" and 18" rollers (both the tool/roller, trays, mixer, tape, and so on). I know how much work it takes to finish up the drywall, and its just crazy to me how a 1 day job is costing almost as much as a 4 or 5 day job that's more intensive.
So sanity check, am I crazy or $1200 too high? Any recommended counter offer I should make? It would legitimately be cheaper for me to fly across the country and do it than to pay $1200. I can get flights for $500 round trip and I already have access to a vehicle out there. I just wanted to save myself some time, so the paint would be done when I go back out to finish the electrical and trim.

Hey Reddit,
It's now been three days since we launched the ROG Ally Killswitch, and the first batch of shipments should be arriving today. We've been pleased to see how excited everyone is to receive their case.
Inside your order, you’ll find a small rectangular sheet of matte black vinyl and a note that contains a QR code. Figured we’d make a quick post to explain what that’s all about.
When performing our pre-launch QC of ready-to-ship mass production stock (about 4% of cases across ten unique ROG Ally devices), we found that the combination of some cases and some devices resulted in volume button tactility that lacked the signature “click” we had intended.
We’re not 100% clear on whether it’s a matter of tolerance on both the ROG Ally volume buttons and our physical buttons on the case, but - given that we found the issue before shipping orders - we figured it made sense to just find a hotfix before any orders shipped out. That's right: we hotfixed a physical product.
Luckily, the fix is quite easy - just apply a small vinyl spacer around the volume buttons. We shot a super quick tutorial video on how to install the spacer, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/tEry1xZlOgE
Once the spacer is applied, the volume buttons will function exactly as intended.
Based on the sample size we observed during QC, we expect this to affect about 10% of cases. Of course, that’s based on the sample of ROG Ally devices we had. Given the ambiguity of which Killswitch + ROG Ally pairings may or may not be affected, we opted to include this hotfix (as well as a QR code linked to the tutorial video) with every order. The vast majority of users will never need this spacer, but we decided it would be a better experience for the ~10% of affected users to have the fix included in-box, rather than requiring them to contact us to get a tiny piece of vinyl shipped out.
All of which is to say: when your ROG Ally Killswitch arrives, don't panic when you see the spacer and QR code instructions. Try your case out first, see if the volume buttons function as expected, and then apply the spacer if they don't. Once you do, you'll be good to go.
That's it from us - we've gotta get back to shipping out these Killswitch orders. We're excited for everybody to get their hands on this.
