I did breakdown and buy a 14 pro about 18 months ago. The battery in my 6s was weak and the charging port was wearing out from charging it so often. I replaced the battery and port in the 6s and I use it for music/video now, since apple killed the 1/8" audio jack on newer phones. But I agree 100% with you. Apple has auto update ON by default on the new phones. After they snuck in one update, I was sure to switch that setting to OFF. Hopefully my 14 will last as long as my 6s did.

I like the graphite colored grout because it matches the counter top. can picture it in my mind with white grout though, and it would look very clean.

That will also work as well. Maybe use one of those 3m scotch brite pads or steel wool to get a better contour with the surface.

I was always told "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

@@6thGearHouse yeah. I thought of jailbreaking it but i decided not to. I left it as it is. Even tho some apps might not work after 3-4 years but atleast i will have a device for basic usage with decent battery.

@@6thGearHouse tbh 4-5years back, I learned a hard lesson after updating my Android devices, they became obsolete because of poor battery and resource hog bloatware.

Don’t update because when i did my ipad started getting buggy and slow, and one thing I personally hate is the homescreen layout. I would give anything to get ios 14 back on my poor ipad

Ha! I'm sure LG would love if you went to the store and spent hundreds of dollars on a new above the range microwave. Sad thing is that new appliances won't last nearly as long as these older ones.

Because it's such a tight space and you probably don't want to remove any more drywall than needed, what about one of those oscillating tools? I've never used one on PVC, but they will cut through wood. Any kind of saw is out because of the lack of room between the pipe and out side wall.

@@6thGearHousePVC pipe cable saw would be another option

No, there needs to be some pipe within the coupling for the clamps to tighten on.

Yeah, I think the only way it would work in that situation would be setting up a box fan by the bucket to force the air through. Even then that's a long way and half of the apartment would be warmer.

Why do you say that? I've been doing it for a few years now.

I'm paying for electricity to dry the clothes, then that heat normally gets dumped outside. Now I'm recycling it, so it's heat that I'm not paying for. In northern Ohio, we want extra moisture. The air is very dry in winter here, so I have to run a humidifier in the house all day/night when the heat is on. Now doing laundry helps that cause as well.

@6thGearHouse right, as a heating and air conditioning professional I couldn't have a clue what I'm talking about

I'm just an idiot that hates wasting heat, humidity and money in a cold dry climate :)

In northern Ohio, we want extra moisture. The air is very dry in winter here, so I have to run a humidifier in the house all day/night when the heat is on. I haven't had the windows sweat yet, but humidity rarely goes over 40% when I have this set up in winter.

Where do you think the heat is going when you leave the door closed?

@@skyler7319 it still goes into the house but at a slower unnoticeable rate.

Same here. And when the dishwasher finishes, I leave that open too for extra heat & humidity.

@@6thGearHouse I like it 👍🏻

I do replace the water with fresh water to avoid that. As fot the humidity, we need the extra moisture. The air is very dry in winter here, so I have to run a humidifier in the house all day/night when the heat is on. Now doing laundry helps keep the air from getting too dry.

Nah it isn't dangerous really. Just likely to get moisture problems unless you're house is very dry in the winter.

a very humid house + cold windows means your windows will be completely soaked and dripping all the time. or if it gets down to -25 to -40 the ice will freeze into the base of the windows and cause damage. especially if your windows are old. it wrecks shitty windows and wrecks paint and drywall. ask me how i know. that’s a tenant damage deposit i’ll never get back.

i live in the middle of the canadian prairies, it’s also super dry, and had this setup for a while. it’s dry here but the dryer made it so wet in the house that all the windows basically were soaked during the winter. humidity was up in the 70s and i had to buy a dehumidifier. it was literally mold paradise and super bad for my wood frame windows. i promise you definitely don’t want this lol.

@@Hyphessobrycon Well thank you for sharing your experience! Maybe it’s worse than I could’ve imagined. I just know when my knuckles crack and fingers split by the nail, I would welcome any humidity to relieve it. Perhaps to a point then.

In northern Ohio, we want extra moisture. The air is very dry in winter here, so I have to run a humidifier in the house all day/night when the heat is on. Otherwise, everyone has dry skin and we're all shocking the cats. I'm lucky if the humidity in the house reaches 40%.

In this region, we want extra moisture. The air is very dry in winter here, so I have to run a humidifier in the house all day/night when the heat is on. Now doing laundry helps keep the air from getting too dry. I also use wool balls instead of dryer sheets, because they are chemical free: amzn.to/3unoNq1

Than don't use dryer sheets if you're doing this, they're not necessary to dry your clothes.

@@deleqtronica8733 as most people do tend to use them - or similar products, I still think a valid comment. Glad you didn’t take my comment in a negative manner. /s

That is a very good concern. I stopped using dryer sheets long ago because of the chemicals in them. Now I use wool balls instead and there are no chemicals or scents. Here they are if you're interested: amzn.to/3unoNq1

@@6thGearHouse thanks! Will check them out!

I accidentally left the bucket in the laundry room with the door closed once, and it was like a sauna when I entered. It's recommended to use the vent tube to put the bucket outside of the laundry room where it can vent into the rest of the house.

If there's chemicals that's harmful in your clothes that you're worried about this then your skin is infinitely more at risk. Use less detergent if you're clothes is still soaked with laundry detergent when you dry it.

What he said^.. Use a cleaner detergent if you’re so worried about the chemicals. And wanting/not wanting the moisture would be an opinion. For myself, living in a dry climate, it would be a whole lot better than boiling water to try to get moisture back into the air.

Depends on your climate. In a lot of the northern areas we want moisture being added to the air in the winter. Also running the vent into a bucket of rock salt dries the air if needed. This idea isn't uncommon in some areas during the winter

What do you mean modern dryer?

@@digginggopher a dryer that does not vent all the hot, moist air it produces to the outsides, but a closed system. Eg. a condensation dryer, best a heat pump dryer

Yeah but if used in winter when there is already very low humidity in the atmosphere.....

If you live anywhere with a winter your humidity inside is super low due to the cold. Unless you're running your dryer 24/7 there isn't enough moisture to cause mold.

Did you finish watching the video? Lol he acknowledged that

Mold-o-matic

I lost patience when I had the battery replaced for $29 under warranty and then it needed replaced again 1 year later. Then the charging port got really loose because I was plugging it in constantly to charge it and the cord would only charge at a certain position.

@@6thGearHouse are you on Android now?

@@ninjanerdstudent6937 no, I've tried my wife's android phones and just prefer the interface of an iphone. I also work on a mac, so it's nice to have everything sync.

Here is the cutter: amzn.to/3EAqAd3 All the other parts were found at my local hardware store and should also be at Home Depot.

I did not clear, but the finish has held up great so far. There was one big scratch that I did have to retouch.

It's worth a try, but could probably be scrubbed off again if not careful.

I wouldn't know, I'm still on 16.

By the way i would rather have an iphone 5 or 6 because they seem better, the iphone X has broken 3 times in less than a year and the iphone 5 seems much more durable

I like that the older phones have a 1/8" headphone jack as well.

Good idea!

The only reason I really ever had to upgrade was to download an app I needed, as many are not supported on older iOS versions. Aside from that I say "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!"

I didn't caulk because my wife wanted the old farmhouse look. Once this gets old and she's bored w/ it, I'll be refinishing it again. Sorry you don't like the brown laminate wood floor, it's what we could afford after buying the house. I agree real wood is nice, but expensive. I think the floors look good enough. We painted the walls grey in 2017 when we moved in, but aren't trendy enough (and don't have the time) to repaint the house every few years as styles change. Notice how the rest of the cabinets in the kitchen are still light oak from 20 years ago... They'll probably stay that way until we win the lottery and buy new cabinets ;)

@@6thGearHouse Yeah, our interior was painted pale yellow about 7 years ago and we are not repainting either. Not for a good while. I was just saying that gray is out for those who might be thinking about painting something gray in the house. Instead, colors based on brown are coming back like beige, taupe, etc. Your island sure got a facelift. Good for you!
