Thinking of replacing a wall mounted 50” TV with a projector & screen in my sunroom. Suggestions? Details in comments.

I’m in New England and have a total budget of no more than $750. Details: The sunroom has blinds but most of our TV viewing there in late afternoon/evenings, or Sunday NFL games. The sunroom is fully insulated and I will soon be installing A/C and heat for our New England winters. Probably going to go with a 90” retractable screen on the only wall that abuts the house. Projector would be mounted about 17 feet away against back wall, but could mount it about 6-7 feet away also. Reason for the 2 distances is a ceiling fan that is right in the middle of the room that I need to avoid. Suggestions for a budget project that works in a brighter room? What specs should I be most concerned with? Ideally want to spend under $300-$400 in the projector and no more than $200 on the screen.

Thule EasyFold XT rack has a stripped hitch tightening bolt

Hopefully I can describe this in a way that makes sense: the part of the rack that goes into my hitch on my car has a knob that I tighten so it fits snugly into the hitch. But it seems that the bolt on the rack that the knob tightens is now stripped. Can I change this bolt somehow? I can’t safely use my bike rack without it being secured properly. I’ve only had it for 4 years and use the rack about a dozen times a year.

Can we get Susan Collin’s to pledge to reject money from Elon Musks and his proxies?

I’ll probably get deleted for this post, so if you agree please keep up this fight!

Are all capos pretty much the same? Or is there a recommended brand(s)?

Looking to get my first capo - any recommendations?

Edit: wow! I had no idea there was such a range in choices and considerations. Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment.

Anyone go to ConnectiCon this past weekend? If so, how was it?

The Hartford Courant said 20,000 attended! Should this annual event be getting more attention?

Planning on insulting under a deck that has an insulated sunroom on top. Looking for advice.

Not sure if this the right sub for this, but hopefully someone can help: The deck has plywood subfloor on it, with foam and carpet on that. The decking is about 2 feet above ground. I’m in New England and I’m thinking of using rock wool with vinyl vented soffits to hold it in and keep out critters. Is this my best bet? And would in need to use a vapor barrier of some type between the insulation and soffits? Thanks.
