Do you think the launch of the new Tacoma will drive down prices of used Tacomas?

Hell yeah, that looks fantastic.

They certainly do, maybe the author can write an article on how to check your home for gas leaks. Can we agree on that?

Lifehacker - D̶o̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ Don’t do anything.

I would add gas line work isn’t that hard. There’s a main shutoff on the side of your house, spray some soapy water on your connections when you’re finished to check for leaks, it all threads together with some pipe dope.

Or you could solve the actual issue and install or fix the bathroom fan.

These are good questions, and ones the author should have investigated and written about. In my case, since I’m city dwelling, my assumption is since I’d have to pull a permit with the city and get a post work inspection done, that would require homeowners insurance to cover it and for the shingle manufacturer to…

I used the terms approachable in one comment, and said it was hard work in another. You’re right in that I haven’t re-roofed my own house, but I did spend a weekend re-roofing a friend’s. I wouldn’t take this project on alone. I’ve never heard of someone solo re-roofing a house because as you said it’s so much…

Agreed! This article rubs me the wrong way, especially coming from Lifehacker. I understand roofing is hard work and not an approachable project for every homeowner, but to write it off as a pros only project feels opposite of what the Lifehacker community is worthy of tackling. Projects like floors, insulation, and…

I’ll counter with unless you have a steep pitched roof or lots of hips and valleys re-roofing is an approachable DIY project. It’s not overly complicated, even replacing decking isn’t wildly challenging. It’s doesn’t require finished cabinetry level of expertise. Plus tools and materials are as easy as ever to use,…

With one giant caveat being This Old House/Ask This Old House, the best show on television, and the only one my fiance and I watch regularly. We may as well add Kevin, Tom, and Richard to the wedding guest list at this point.

I’m all for home projects, especially ones that extend the life of materials or are cheap and easy upgrades, but I think some of these go too far. I’d say consider painting bathroom tile, kitchen countertops. I might consider adhesive vinyl for the appliance, but paint could work. But carpet, pass.

You know, that’s a really good question. My two thoughts are social norms and that it raises the acidity of your soil. But we’re in a rental, and we only put it down to cover all the bare dirt and mud so the dogs wouldn’t track it into the house, so likely we should have left them.

Connected with an arborist earlier this spring and had a load of chips dumped in our driveway. Be in good communication with what you’re looking for. Ours had lots of pine needles both mixed in with the chips, and in large chunks. So although it was free we did have to separate out as much of the needles as we could…

Is Hello From The Magic Tavern one I need to start from the beginning or can I jump right in? Also I’m pretty sure Tony Thaxton is back in Motion City Soundtrack.

I was also confused by this, pretty sure they’re both still operating independently. Weren’t the feds going to investigate the impacts of such a large merger?

Tubing. Either behind a boat or on snow. Have heard horror stories of parents whipping their kids into waves and absolutely launching them. Fun as hell, but injuries galore.

I feel like you could use some of the points this article makes as an outline for a conversation with your wife. If it’s something you want to do, your partner should be able to come to a point of understanding if you’re able to convey why it’s important to you. My partner and I pretty regularly do events separately,…

Salad kits. That’s our go-to road trip meal. Healthy-ish, convenient, and filling. Also overnight oats. Often we’ll leave the house at 5am and hunger hasn’t set in yet. So when 6 or 7am rolls around we have breakfast already in the cup holders.

I take this as a sign that Lifehacker’s Evil Week is coming back. Thrilled about it.
