Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

- Start date
I might literally hack one together from some plastic electrical conduit and a hacksaw.
If you have some money, it is hard to go wrong with Prusa. If you are cheap, Creality Ender 3 is a decent starting point. Regardless of brand, I would recommend heated bed and auto bed leveling as a base feature set. Makes your life simpler. I would not do the build your own chinese kits. More trouble than they are worth imo.

- find a ballpoint pen with a cap that has a pocket clip
- stab the head of the cap through a piece of cardboard
- fit the short side of the contraption into your power drill
- stick the free end of the strap into the slot between the pocket clip and the body of the pen
- run the drill on low to wind up the strap
- pull the strap off the contraption
edit: improved the system even more by replacing the screwdriver bit with a ballpoint pen

Thank you but it was more of a joke than anything.
As much as I could uses one from time to time, I currently don't have the time to start a new hobby.
This is something that can easily be made out of scrap wood or PVC piping.
I found an even easier/cheaper way. See the edit to my previous post.
(I really need to get some real work done today...)
My Pfister faucet in the bathroom was starting to leak after a few years, and while I was at LOWES/RONA one of the staff told me:
'hey, you know these things come with a lifetime warranty right? Just email them with some photos and you'll get a new one'
Lo and behold...Pfister sent me a brand new unit to replace the defective one free of charge.
I assume it's only a one time thing that they'll do, but for now it'll do.
Maybe, but wouldn't the brand new one come with a lifetime warranty as well?
I'll let you know in 2 years! But from my understanding a lot of times these are a single replacement.
So in theory I should get another 2-3 years out of this one if it's the same as the last.
Seems like for every problem there is a solutions.
A cheap solutions and an expensive one.
Here is a pricey ratchet strap with build in winder/storage for the excess strap.

Well balls. All swapped now anyway.
You could still do it if you have the piece and can show them the issue with photos.
I know I would.
Hmmm. Then I’d have spares! Ok will talk to my chief financial officer.
Those are not stairs, they are three small decks...
I will say the deck does look great and I am sure you'll enjoy it for years to come!
This started out as just a resurface. The 35 yr joists were in perfect condition, so we stayed with the original height. We plan on putting a few planters and big pillows on the stairs. There are 15 bt controlled lights in the stairs.
