Anyone Own a Shed from Lowes??? Any good? - 6 days ago

We are getting ready to pour a 8 x 12 pad for a shed and we are pretty sure we are going to purchase this one. Anyone own Heartland shed from Lowes? Any good? I did find a couple of local(ish) shed builders that get good reviews and tempted to go with one of these places. The Lowe's shed's looks a little bulkier on the roofline. But, doesn't mean it's better.

Re: Any Tire Experts Here? Need a set of tires for a 2017 Focus ST... - 6 weeks ago

Quotechopper Hmmm. You want to replace with some kind of all-season? Pirelli are not bad. Typically I go with Michelin for anything my wife drives the kid around in. But they are always more money. Being in Michigan kind of need an all-season tire. They did order me the Continentals but I didn't sign anything so I'm second guessing what I'm ordering. I want them to handle just as good as

Any Tire Experts Here? Need a set of tires for a 2017 Focus ST... - 6 weeks ago

Hello, Random goofy question / advice but I need a set of tires for my wife's 2017 Ford Focus ST with 20,000 miles on it. Tires have life in them as far as tread but they are dry-rotting so it's time we change them out. This is what is on the car from the factory. PIRELLI P ZERO A/S 235 /40 R18 95W XL BSW FO This is what we are leaning towards. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 +

Re: iPad's take good photos??? Need one (or an iPhone or iPod) for our shop. - 3 months ago

Quotejdc Seems like a good idea... minis arent super cheap, if that's a factor. Regular iPad is $200 less, which would also work fine Depending on how critical the photos are, you might be able to get a nice iPhone 8 off swappa for under $200 in excellent condition. Id prob go one step further and have the photos auto upload to the cloud so everyone can access without making an email. Dbox,

Quotegraylocks High end guitar shop near me uses an iPad to document the condition of any guitar coming in for repair. Which iPad are they using? I'm looking at refurbished iPhone 11 for around $419 as well. Worried the iPad might be too large. Maybe a mini would be fine... Just want to keep it simple.

iPad's take good photos??? Need one (or an iPhone or iPod) for our shop. - 3 months ago

We have a simple task at our company which involves taking photos of every product that comes in to our shop for repair and e-mailing them to customer service. The supervisor (who is leaving our company) does this with his iPhone and when he's not in someone else checks in the parts and asks for me or another office worker to take photos and e-mail them. So, we are trying to figure out a simple w

Re: Need a full mattress and box spring for space room. - 4 months ago

QuoteOmbligo Agree with Robert - we have the same platform and it is great. Get a decent foam mattress and you are good to go. We have this in queen, but have been very happy with it. How long have you had this? Because it gets mixed reviews. Like I said... it's a spare room so probably will be fine.

Re: The Book of … spoilers. - 4 months ago

I enjoyed it for what it was but would of liked to see at least one season of the Mandalorian without "The Child". So, kind of surprised the filler episodes already brought "Grogu" back before season 3. Makes me wonder if they were having problems writing season 3 without him. Boba was cool with the back stories but it did get a little slow at times. So, are the sand peopl

If you have a store nearby, Dr. Elsey's has an seemingly perpetual downloadable coupon for $1 off, and they currently have one for $3 off that expires March 2, 2022.

Is there any equipment to "help" eliminate the dust? Like a air filter?

Re: Cat Litter... Again... Sent Free and Dust Free. - 5 months ago

It's weird... All of the "dust free" litters get weird reviews "We used this for years but now its incredibly dusty"... Maybe we just need a litter room or something... or just a much better litter box. We have a larger Maine Coon so a covered box might not be the best solution.

Ok, we always end up back at Arm and Hammer but it still isn't the greatest. We have four cats and have tried several "new" options but nothing seems to work to keep the dust down. We tried Wallnut, The worlds best, etc. yet in the end Arm and Hammer. So, what is everyone using?

Oven Cleaning - Self Cleaning or Spray Cleaner or Other - 5 months ago

Ok, we have a Frigidaire range that is about a year old. It has a airfryer option built in and last night my air-fried chicken kind of trashed the oven and smoked up the house. The pan I put under the air-fryer basket didn't help... ooops. I wiped it out but want to clean it good and "possibly" avoid air-frying for awhile. I did try the steam cleaner but there are some pretty bad spots

TCL Roku TV's ... Anyone have any current recomendations? - 6 months ago

I’m going to be replacing an older Pansonic Plasma (Given to me a few years ago) in my basement and grab a TCL Roku TV (Series 4 or Series 5). The plasma is around 47” (Thought it was bigger but I guess the case tricked me) so thinking a 50”-55” would be perfect. I did consider moving my 5 year old 55” Samsung to the basement and getting a newer TV for our main TV (Like a Series 6). But
