    I'll tidy them up a bit, at the corral. And I'll take one in, to use, if I go by one on the way in. But I draw the line at wholeseale round up, lol.

    About 3 years back I got T-boned by a lawsuit happy guy while I was doing a U-turn. He was well down the block when I started my turn. Pretty sure it was intentional: I got a letter later, he intended to sue me for injury, and it turned out in that year he had 4 other lawsuits going. Nothing ever came of it. Anyway:

    The left rear corner was stoved-in pretty good, they had to replace the rear suspension cross beam, lots of body work. They did an excellent job, it looks and drives like new.

    I had my 2010 Prius for about 9 months. I got caught in a massive hail storm with no cover except for an old oak tree. Did $4,077.18 in damage (plus $58,000 damage to my house roof). They fixed it and you could never tell it was touched. It looked great, but yes, the new vehicle preservation pressure was off.

    Geez, how big is your house? I had my entire roof replaced down to the rafters for $12,000.

    $12K wouldn't even cover redoing the asphalt roofing shingles on our house. :(

    Reroofing our house, going from cedar shingles to asphalt, which requires addition of plywood sheathing, with a couple of new skylights and replacement of one fairly extensive fascia board, was around $15K Canadian IIRC. Getting close to a decade back I guess. We're around 1750 square foot, one of those #$!!&! west coast contemporaries...

    I Need to remove my rear tail light to get an LED bulb out that came off the socket while putting it back. It's a tight space. Looking for instructions but cant seem to find any.

    Are Tesla tiles a real thing? I mean, Elon Musk mentioned them, and 11,000 + people have place orders, but I don't think they are real. Let's face it, this idea is not new. What makes you think that Musk can just throw some $$ against the wall and solve the known issues? And how are building inspectors going to reconcile the code with this new product?

    They've been adjusting to new products ever since there were codes.
