I received my new la Marzocco micra and eureka Libra 65 grinder. We are using the 17g stock basket it came with. 18g in 34g out at 24 seconds and the boiler is set to 92c. Medium-dark espresso. I have the shot tasting really good but it seems to be missing a bit of the deep espresso flavour. I’m wondering what to try. We were struggling with bitterness at first but stopping the shot at 34g out seems to have helped that. Should I put the boiler back to 93c? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

I’m trying to quote 1 coat of natural stain in this fence both sides. It is 8x5 feet and 500 feet long. They don’t care about stain on the wires.
I imagine spraying with a small tip and back brushing will be the quickest. Am I under estimating if I say 15 minutes per panel both sides including set up and lightly sanding the top rail? Somehow 2 days seems like not enough time for 1 person. Help!

I have to give a quote to paint the upper fascia and shake siding. It’s hard to tell the angle of the roof. I’m thinking I can just use a ladder leaning on the wall. Does that seem reasonable? I have been doing a lot more interior lately and just want to make sure it’s safe. Thanks!

I just drove home from having the front cv axels done. There is liquid leaking from the circled area in the photo. Is this normal from the job or should I be worried? 2006 4Runner limited

I can’t believe I’m asking this. What is the nice side of this panel to face the street? First photo is rough cedar
