I just picked up another Dewalt XR 20 v tool. Im planning on replacing the rotten wood around the bottom of the garage door trim with Cellular PVC TRIM. This should help.

I have two of the Ryobi versions. Once for large nails and one for brads. They do make life easier.

Use stainless nails for your PVC trim, not galvanized. The galvanized will start to rust and leave streaks. Ask me how I know.

So - ordered these on February 20th - initially they stated 8 to 12 weeks for the custom order, but at the 12 week mark, they changed it to 16 weeks. Here at 17 weeks, finally arrived.

Valencia Seating - Tuscany. Nappa 20000 leather in brown, curved setup, added heat and massage (key on the word "and"...cause it looks like I can do a massage by itself...but heat requires massage to be running) - this was a wasted $1000.

Quality of the units is there...but little pissed they didn't ship the trays I negotiated in...and the extra wait sucked. They also received payment up front...charging the card immediately. Thinking, decent product, but the customer skills are not quite there.

Needless - here they are. Goes with the 77" LG C4 OLED I got a little bit ago for the bar room update.

Appreciate the review and details. I'm definitely looking at new Theater seating for my Home Theater in the next several weeks. I've heard similar complaints about Valencia.
I'm needing 6 chairs. That wait time sucks.
But congrats nonetheless.

The new guitar rekindled my passion and I'm playing more. Problem is it HURTS everywhere. Back, knee. I hate being old. So hoping this new seat will aleviate some of the pain. On order. This is a stock photo not mine and that isn't my guitar.

Apple Watch Ultra 2, an upgrade from the 8. I also mounted the new wheels and am rubbing slightly so I'll need to roll the fenders. The Eastwood roller is on it's way.

Small update if you're still considering...since I trashed them a little.

I send them a message (email) Thursday night about the missing trays. Without responding, they overnighted 4 trays to me for Saturday delivery. So, I'm happy with this.

Will also state that these are way more comfortable than the theater seating I replaced. I'd consider again...just note the extra long wait for custom pieces. Best of luck in your search.

Dropped more than a few Benjamins today prepping my R1200GS by a local BMW Master Tech. *Complete* overhaul and tune-up, new "Alaska Grade" tires and new mesh gear to get me through the hot spots on the ride.

Leaving on 5 July to ride from Denver through Rocky Mountain National Park, Hells Canyon, over the Idaho passes, up into the Cascades, down the Olympic Peninsula, spending a week with my father, then up to Port Angeles, up Vancouver Island, ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, over to Hyder, AK, up to the Yukon, over to Skagway, Haines, Haines Junction, then over to hot springs in the Yukon, down the Kootenay Rockies, back over the border somewhere around Montana, then through Yellowstone and over to Sturgis. My buddy's going to meet me there with my other bike (a V-Rod Muscle) and we'll spend the week riding together before I ride back to Denver.

Total should be about 35 days, 10,000+ miles, and almost all dispersed (i.e. "find a spot and pitch your tent") camping, so I'll need to bring camping gear, food and water. I'll be out of cell coverage for about 80% of the ride. And most importantly? The plan is to not ride on a single mile of Interstate the entire trip.

My wife *has* mandated that I take my GPS tracker (i.e. "the leash") so she knows where I am.

Variety is the spice of life, watchbands are the new accessories. My next purchase will likely be a used Omega or Tag Heuer Speedmaster Chronograph.

I have a half dozen Sport Loop bands I rotate through with my AW6. Thinking about getting an AW9 and running a day watch and a night watch just for sleep tracking. Waiting to see if the AW9 drops in price a bit on Prime Day.
