Did a ton of work ourselves which saved a lot. We had a major and 2 smaller vacations canceled so we had a little boost to the budget which was nice.
Wife uses her fancy wide angle lens to take the pics so it looks bigger than it is.
The stone on the wall looks really good. Almost like a nice restaurant feel. Im not sure I ever remember seeing that done before but I like it a lot

Thanks. It was an inexpensive menards product. I cut it on a chop saw with a masonry blade. I used 'omnigrip' from home depot to put it on the wall. No grout. A pretty nice and easy install considering I had never done it before.

It is a dry stack stone. Used indoors, it doesn't need grout to be a façade. However I did add the mesh to the wall (you can see it in the one pic with the window) to ensure good adhesion. Supposedly I didn't need to do this, but it made me nervous just sticking it to the drywall.

For the first time I bought upgraded D1S HID's and tried them in my wife's Volvo and I'm blown away how much better they are. I bought Osram 7000k Cool Blue and they're noticeably brighter than the OEM bul I took a picture of new vs old below both warmed up.

Have any of you guys seen this site? It looks like it's an aggregate site that tracks car sales to develop market trends. It looks like it's all auction data mostly pulled from BaT.

i thought everyone was over with the purple headlight colors?
4300 or 5000k have like 50% more lumens than 7k and dont suck in the rain. imagine the jump you just had, double it for good 4000k bulbs!

I've started using it ~6 months ago when I was researching E34 values for the claim. Email notifications for new listings and results for specific models you want is great.

You'd have to see these in person but they're not actually 7000k color, they're like a hyper white color once they're warmed up and even seeing it driving down the road at me there's no blue or purple color to it. My guys at The Retrofit Source highly recommended these and the tests they've done have these ranked at a higher lux than just about any other D1S out there. There isn't a better bulb on the market than the Osram CBB.
Skip ahead to the 3:40 mark to see the comparison. The color on the screen is accurate to what you see in real life.

i stand corrected on the brightness! its odd that they've rated the color so high when they are clearly just as white as the 5000k stuff. the guy in the video is confused as well.

I questioned my rep at TRS when he recommended these because I did NOT want 7k color but he assured me these would be perfect. So far my wife LOVES them!

Anyone do rock climbing? I signed up for a class in a couple weeks. I'm old, out of shape, and have no core strength. Should be fun.

Rock climbing always seemed fun and terrifying. Always seemed that the guys who did well on American Ninja Warrior were good at rock climbing. Tons of grip and hand strength needed.
I've only done the fake rock stuff, like in the dells or other places with the different shaped hand holds. The absolute worst part for me is letting go of the wall at the top and letting the pulley assembly lower you back down. There is that split second of freefall. Hate it.

NOPE.
