Beg bug and roach and skunk infestation, forced to leave to a hotel but air bnb won’t pay for it [Canada]

I had a 6 day stay for school, stayed 2 nights as we thought it was mosquitos biting us.

by day 2 found 20-30 cockroaches in our food and all around the house, and realized these were bed bugs eating us alive once we found their bodies.

left immediately once we realized what was happening, air bnb said they’d find us a place, they didn’t said there were no options, so they told us to go to a hotel and we’d be reimbursed.

so we went to literally the cheapest hotel we could find, 2 rooms 2000$ CAD plus paid for a car decontaminatio/steam cleaning 275$ and 75$ in laundry fees to bake everything we had immediately whatever we didn’t throw out.

okay so air bnb would not refund untill we checked out and submitted receipts, we are back home now and airbnb says they’ll give us 450$…. that’s after escalation higher 3 times….

what on earth, what am I supposed to do? i expected a 2400 refund not 450…

Tiny baby paint chips that are brown (dusted probably now) do I need to address this before a wrap

Getting my first wrap ever on my SUV and the paint is average probably bet up 300,000km 14 year old paint.

I have two concerns before it goes in to get wrapped in 2 weeks.

  1. I’ve washed it myself but there is like heavy brown dirt deposit I can’t get off with scrubbing. Do I need to address this? How far must I go to fix this? I’ve also done some sloppy as hell paint pen touch up’s that dripped all over the paint and while it looks horrible, was better then the chips they stood out, so not about that.
  2. Small paint chips seems concerning to me, like ones that are down to metal and even if they are like no bigger than a pen head the turned brown so I guess rusted. If I just wrap over this it’ll get worse and rust away underneath right? What’s the best way to approach this? My wrap guy wasn’t too concerned about them as they are so
  3. Small but worries me for my cars body long term.

Pls set my virgin wrap mind at ease!

Should I fix this before a wrap? What should I prep?

About to get this thing wrapped.

My last concern before it goes in 2 weeks from now, the paint underneath, I have small chips here and there. Some worse than others some pretty superficial, some look like right through the paint, but you know suppppper small.

Mix of scratches at varying depths as well.

I’m not concerned about the wrap looking absolutely perfect.

More so if wrapping over some of these spots with exposed metal chips or missing paint sections will lead to rust under there? Or something like that? Idk how do you all handle this?

its white rn decided on roughly this tan colour combo and design.

About to use this to paint the plastic on my Toyota black, should I do it before or after the car gets wrapped?

pretty much wondering which would be more practical to yall… do i push to get the plastics (front / rear bumper, fenders, lower door plastics, and rocker cover) all painted before I take it to get wrapped? or do I do it after it’s wrapped?

from googling I think perhaps overspray should it happen in spite of my masking would be easier to get off of a wrap.

however I also thought I’d rather get a tiny bit of paint on my old 13 year old beat up paint job than my fancy new wrap…

thoughts?

Quickest setup table to keep in the car?

dont think any of these half genius ideas that use the car itself to support the table are going to work for me, just looking for your favourite, not too cheapy, but not too massive and waste of space, tall enough folding table that I can setup as fast as possible with minimal pieces.

I got an fj cruiser and just want to be able to pull over and have a table yknow, using my tailgate for something else so those tailgate tables aren’t the best for me

Outdoor punching bag boat fender?

just want something I can use outside, seen people saying they’ve used these.

but I don’t want those ball ones I wanna kick it too

https://a.co/d/01CvRP9F like this but I’m worried even this isn’t long enough?

https://a.co/d/0abDJkHc this seems good but will it work? nice and long, will it be TOO heavy if I fill this thing up with water? or could I just fill it halfway? or is water not the answer?
same kind thing as the second https://a.co/d/0gD8eJSB

Not sure about my Elka suspension, should I go 8112?

definitely spending way too much on suspension for the street, but I wanted comfort, maybe I have to play with the dial adjuster on my Elka, but I only put the rear elka DC shocks on, and left the fronts for a later date been driving on it a few weeks and….

the front literally bucks more now with these shocks, 7 kicks from softest red, black 2 from softest,

like it’s different than stock and better times but like, I’m not noticing anything crazy on road, speed bumps it bucks like crazy now, and sometimes it seems to like reverberate or something really quick on the back end at high speed…

aside from that it’s fine or maybe a tad better.

would 8112 be Comfier over bumps?

Bad time to buy an OTW? With new uniform changes?

am I wasting my money if I buy an OTW shirt right now? haven’t seen this new uniform but will the pattern be the same as the MT or whatever(or similar I know a lot of the aftermarket ones are close but not the same as MT CADPAT) ? or different from that still? materials sound like they will be different though, idk if that’s a factor?

Do I need the Helix mini DSP for a full aftermarket system? Or am I overpaying for what it can do?

I made another post about my full JL system C3 front, C2 coax rear, TW3 10, RX 700/5, and a 1000$ android headunit. Installed by a shop. And it fatigues my ears, and overall just doesn’t sound right and can’t crank it without pain.

The consensus in my other post seemed to be I need a DSP and a good tune. Found an installer couple hours from me that seems very experienced and they want to charge (CAD) 1690 + tax with a helix mini dsp and install. Says it will take all day.

I think that’s fairly fair, but I know that helix mini DSP isn’t cheap, do I need to pay for that big boy? I’ve read it does a lot for integrating to OEM systems, and all that complex stuff, I just need it to work with my aftermarket system.

Should I just go with this? Or is there a cheaper equipment piece that will do the same for what I want?

I see there’s this cool conductor thing idk if I really need that but does sound like it could be handy, but I don’t want that to be the deciding factor even if I might get it if I go helix.

Thanks!

3500$ system and I can’t even crank it loud due to early fatigue?

hello, I recently had a pro shop install JL 6.5 C3 up front in my Toyota FJ cruiser, and JL 6 inch C2 coax in the rear. as well as JL TW3 10 in the back in a subthump enclosure. powered by a JL XD 700/5

it replaced the factory JBL premium system, and while it sounds better and definitely wayyyy more powerful… I feel like the sounds I want to hear I have to turn it up very loud to fully enjoy it, but as soon as I do I quickly fatigue.

I feel like this is a tuning or EQ issue.

honestly first time spending this kind of money eh in a full setup like this, and seemed like the best I could get before I jump to a 100% in double to triple the money all the way job.

its good but… if I could go back right now… if just stick with stock… this is not worth the money right now… my biggest orignal complaint was muddy bass from stock, which is the biggest improvement I have, aside from that the extra power I don’t need, and the SQ is debatably worse… and I feel it’s EQ problem any advice?

I played with muting certain band frequencie, and did notice less fatigue by dropping many of them which was nice but when I compared to baseline EQ I realized it sounded like shit and actually STILL fatigued more than I liked… even after heavy dropping. I feel that I can listen on volume 12for ex max w out ever fatiguing, but above that fatigue sets in faster at each volume level. However with muting a ton of frequencies I was able to listen at literally 32 without issue untill I started to fatigued after maybe 10 songs. so what I’m saying is I feel the rest of the EQ I feel I can cranm as I SHOULD be able to, but there’s a part of it that fully limits me from doing so…

ive got probably 30 hours on the sub and C2 and 15 hours on the C3s. Any help 🥹 idk what to do, was hoping instead of tackling car audio on my own for once I’d pay a pro and it’s great quality install but… mehhhhh

Underbody restore service for a Toyota in the area?

been looking at getting my 2012 Toyota truck restored underneath as good as I can, found a place called OVC inc in Beeton ON, but not as many good reviews as I’d like, I want something like a famous place called garden state undercoating in the US.

theres honey seal, but they say their process isn’t meant for 200,000km plus,

a bad review for OVC inc said there was a better place in Mississauga so I’m looking for leads in that, any ideas what place?

Aftermarket keyboard case that doesent lag for IPPM2?

hey I have this ESR 100$ CAD keyboard case for my IPad Pro M2, and it totally perfect fit and form and battery is awesome. but the connection suckssss for typing, it’s do able but when you have to type fast it’s no good as it does not accept double input of the same key, and can lag behind a little when fast typing.

ive seen the apple magic keyboards for decent prices open box on amazon for like 250 CAD which is fine tbh, but I don’t like that they don’t have a case built in like my ESR does, anyone have any smooth aftermarket recommendations?

Advice for painting plastic trim? Gloss black?

my Toyota fj cruiser has lots of plastic trim on the exterior.

fit some silly reason it’s quite grey… if it had been black from factory I’d probably leave it… but it’s like a rough grey…

body shop I took it to, said they had to remove all the plastic to do it.

I feel like I can do it on the car, I’ve seen others do it with success.

many recommendations for which paint to use and how much prep I should do?

flat black would be fine of course… but something a little glossier would be cooool I think… maybe even a gloss black…? anyone ever tried that? what would I use?

I have a gas pressure washer I’ve had forever, says 3800 PSI on it.

I bought a new foam cannon (first one I’ve had) and halfway through the wash it starts getting sucked in on itself and like imploding.

I read PSI too high can maybe cause this? but… I can’t find a single foam cannon rated over 3000 psi, just ones that say 3000 for the foam cannon and 4000 for the “gun“ attachment but what’s the point in that if the cannon itself can only handle 3k :/
