    disregard the 1 star, it's someone with a wall that wouldnt support the product, not a product issue itself. I have no experience with this product, just found it.

    Have you thought of getting a mount with a little space behind it. That's what we use at my work. All of the accessories get mounted to the back of the TV using double sided Velcro.

    Yeah that's probably the most intrusive solution. The one I have is very thin.

    Holy moly, I'm pooed. I spent the afternoon doing a lot of little things around the house.

    First, I cleaned up all the dead branches that have fallen in the last 2 weeks. Then I went on the roof of the shop to sweep all the leaves/pine needles off and trim up some branches that were overhanging and low to the roof. Next was cleaning out the gutter on the far side of the shop; it's the only gutter without covers and was FULL. Then I raked all the leaves/acorns/pine needles off the driveways, and finished programming the HomeLink mirror in my car to the shop's garage door opener. I didn't have a ladder to reach the learn button on the opener when I first tried programming it. Finally, I skimmed off all the leave that had fallen onto the pool cover, pumped all the water off the cover, and rolled back the cover, and I also skimmed the pool and brushed down the walls. We're supposed to get a bunch of rain later this week, and I'm hoping to use the rain to add to the pool level and drop the salt level some. It's a couple hundred ppm higher than the preferred level.

    Been wanting to build a little fold up work bench in the garage. Finally did today. Not super heavy duty, but solid. Space, the final frontier.

    @23Skidoo this chicken coop is almost as nice as yours. I bet it doesn't have a Tesla power wall thingy like yours does.

    Does anybody know where can I find a 20X20 ft steel frame canopy? Like King Canopy type. I know Home Depot sells King Canopy ones but they only have an 18X20.

    I have a 10x20 on my project that has held up remarkably well made by these guys. I have no idea how the 20x20 is but I would imagine it is just as good.

    Any magic involved with swapping a sink?

    I have a 2 bowl sink and swapping to a single, so aside from the obvious (swapping over the disposer), and rebuilding the drain..

    I don’t want to overlook something obvious because it seems so straight forward, but not sure if there’s any black magic that isn’t readily apparent.

    Depends if it’s under or over counter, also make sure to match the faucet type to the sink hole pattern. Unless the faucet is in the counter obviously.

    It’s a top mount, and I’ve already changed the faucet before. That’s all dead simple.

    More curious if I need to worry about ventilation so the drain is efficient? I can’t think of why that would change much, but don’t want to find out the hard way.
