Project Cars/Trucks
I’m sure there are plenty of folks on here working on some project vehicles. I haven’t had any vehicle projects since before the kids until now. I got talked into a 1993 F250 460 that an extended family member had parked for the last 6 years. Bought it for cheap and have been running it around... -
New Ad Thread
Starting a new thread hoping it will stand out and something will be done. These timed popups and redirects are getting out of control and are making the site completely unusable. Half of the redirects aren't even showing an ad, just a white screen. The only way to get rid of them is reloading...- AgronAlum

RC Cars/Boats/Planes/Trains/Rockets General Hobby Thread
Tinkering has been prominent since I’ve gotten older. I just spent about 2 hours rebuilding an RC car my son and I destroyed racing each other. I’ve got a buddy that got into model rockets. I’ve been watching RC plane videos on YouTube. Share your hobbies. All are welcome. -
Trading Cards
We’ve got everything from Pokemon to 1970s baseball to 2024 NBA. There are a ton of apps out there to tell you values and log your collections. Does anyone have any real experience with any of them? My son has scanned a few cards into an app called Ludex and has given ungraded values on some... -
RC Cars
Any RC people on here? I finally have a kid interested enough that I can justify buying some stuff like I’ve always wanted. We went through like 4 of the Amazon 90 dollar toy grade specials which broke fairly quickly. We bought a LaTrax Teton (1/18) hobby grade so parts are replaceable. We’re... -
Leather Work
Is anyone here into leather work? I’ve been thinking about dipping my toes into it lately because it looks really fun. I think it would be a good combo with my woodworking when woodworking is too loud. -
Kindergarten Bullying
I can’t believe I have to ask this but I’m at a loss. Some of you may remember my oldest (12) being threatened to be stabbed last year and nothing happening about it. Well now my middle one is in KG and has been dealing with bullies since the first week. We found out last week when he came home... -
Internet Speeds
How much off your purchased speed should you experience on WiFi? We pay for 1gbps through metronet. We have their main Eero modem/router on the main level and a satellite on the second level. It’s a 2200sq ft split level. Distance from the access point doesn’t seem to matter. This is the... -
Mental Health PSA
If you’re struggling, please don’t think you’re weak by getting some help. Just talk to someone. Anyone. A partner, a therapist, anyone. ****, PM me if you want. Don’t keep that **** bottled up inside. We need to get rid of the stigma that feelings are bad and men, especially, are weak for... -
Outdoor Electrical Help
I’m trying to bring some electrical from inside, through vinyl siding, to the outside. There is an outlet directly behind where I want to put the outdoor outlet. First option is to run a waterproof conduit to one of these on a post (see below). I’ve read that you can use NM under 6’ outdoors... -
Tent Camping
Looking for a good tent camping area within about a two hour radius of Des Moines. Preferably away from the lights and noise and somewhere that has decent shore fishing. On site bathroom facilities would also be a nice plus. -

Electrical Question
I’ve got a pool pump running on a GFI protected circuit but the GFI is indoors on the other side of the wall. Any reason to put a GFI outlet on the exterior for the pool pump to plug directly in to? Is double stacking GFI outlets on the same circuit an issue other than troubleshooting if... -
The Hometown Return
This started as a discussion between my wife and I today. For those that ended up leaving, do you look forward to returning to your home town? My wife likes going back for the town festival every year and reminiscing with old friends and running into people she hasn’t seen in forever. I have... -
Above Ground Pools
I know there are some folks here as trashy as me and rock the above ground pool. I’ve thrown a couple patches (from the pool store) at ours and they’ve held steady. I just filled it up for the summer and have a leak at the seam. Any tips on sealing this thing up around a seam? -
Home Insecticide
What are you using for spraying your house? I'm looking at getting a bottle of Temprid FX because the Ortho Home Defense stuff doesn't seem to do anything. We get a ton of spiders but also the normal stuff like flies, earwigs, stink bugs, etc. We do have pets and kids. -
General Sickness
Am I crazy or have more otherwise healthy people had more random sicknesses and lingering issues over the last few years? Just within the last few weeks, my 35 year old BIL had a stent put in from myocarditis stemming from a viral infection. My 45ish year old neighbor had a virus attack his... -
Tax Software
Opinions on tax prep sites for 2023? I’ve got a simple return with a single W2, some kids, some car registrations, etc. I have been using TurboTax but they want like 80 bucks. Evidently Intuit (TurboTax) owns Cash App Tax which if free if you download the cash app. I’ve also used Tax Act in the... -
