I have the CKRT M16 01KZ black powder coated folding knife. The assisted open function of the knife seems to be failing. When i pull back on the knurled finger knob, the blade only half opens, like there's friction or something stopping it from snapping open like my M16-13Z. I took it apart and cleaned everything so there's no dust or grease in there but it still doesn't have the snap it used to.
Can anyone recommend a fix?
I don't know who else to ask and I'm sorry for the long post.. if you know anything about insulation in cold regions, please read and help-
Our home was built in 2022. The basement has poured concrete walls with waterproofing painted below grade on the Outside and inside. It is unfinished but the perimeter walls were insulated and vapor barriered. We live in Canada our winters are cold. The perimeter walls are 2x4 studs 16"oc. The base plates were set about 2 inches away from the poured concrete wall. They used thick r20 insulation batts.
We started getting tiny puddles forming around the baseplates. In winter following odd warm periods.We thought it was coming from Outside. I opened the barrier and removed a batt of insulation to find the whole wall was soaked. This was the case for every wall. Fast forward, the consensus is that it was condensation build up due to the temperature difference between the inside air and the concrete. The insulators had the batts touching both the concrete wall and the vapor barrier with no air space. From what everyone says, thats a no-no.
So - the home builder agreed to redo it. BUT i dont know if their solution is the right one or if its a shortcut or if its completely wrong. The email from the builder is below;
"Yes a 2x4 is made for R12 insulation but when you leave the studs away from the wall you can put a R20 into the stud cavities as you have space behind the studs
We will not be installing any Styrofoam as that has been tried with no success.
Our plan is to install typar to the concrete from grade level down and then install 1 layer of insulation horizontally behind the studs. Then another layer of insulation will be installed vertically between the stud cavities and then the wall will bepolyed.
We would need access to the house on Thursday to install the typar and deliver the insulation and poly
Friday (company) would come to insulate and poly the basement"
Please let me know your thoughts!
Loved the book and enjoying the Netflix version. Harvey Bullock from Gotham is always how I pictured Hodges in my mind. But Gleeson is a good choice, the accent is kind of throwing me off though
I'm using the stock reveal face on my PW4 because it has so many complications spots. But i think its responsible for showing a dim ambient clock when i tilt to view. Is this the cause? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix? Is there a similar watch face that doesn't have to start with the ambient face first?
If anyone here has installed an aftermarket hitch to a 2020-2024, has it interfered with the foot-activated hatch opener?
