2022 F150 Ecoboost, close to 80k, first time dealership service. Spark plugs/boots, transmission, differential, transfer case flush, brake line flush. They sent a hand written note with cost next to each item. I asked for a Repair Order, something on letterhead showing parts (my main interest) and labor. I wanted to confrim in writing they were dropping the pan with new trans filter gasket...anyway they sent back whatever this is. Only thing missing from attachment is brake fluid flush at $189. Nothing covered under my ESP Premium and the sunroof should be TSB 20-2093. Any advice or suggestions? Would you approve this without an RO or am I requesting something crazy?

I only found one that covers both the camera and sensors, but has terrible reviews. I don't use FaceID and rather not give any more data to advertisers. Thanks in advance!

Looking to build a detached primary suite. Do not want to enter closet from bathroom. The bedroom is a good size, but feel like bathroom is oversized due to the width. The suite doesn't need to be a perfect rectangle, but I prefer a simple gable roof. Any ideas on making bathroom more comfortable or even add interest to the exterior(massing)?

Anyone build with SIP panels around here? What would your concerns be buying a house built post-Katrina with SIPs? What due-diligence?

Looking at buying a 2006 house in south Louisiana built with SIPs. I work in AEC and I’m cautious about moisture performance (OSB), humid climate, and post-Katrina construction…

I’ve renovated 100 year old homes, so the “closed system” makes me nervous - limited drying potential and less flexibility for future electrical or plumbing.

What I know: roof replaced in 2022, likely EIFS on the front elevation.

Don’t know: condition of decking in 2022, thickness r value/general construction or who builder was.

What I’m trying to dial in for due diligence: • Real-world failure points for SIPs in Gulf Coast humidity (especially after ~20 years) • How risky hidden moisture/rot is and how people are actually verifying it • Whether blower door + IR scan is worth doing pre-purchase • Is standalone dehumidification is basically required? • Difficulty of future modifications (running new electrical/plumbing through SIP walls/roof).

What I should be asking about the, what are the common misses on inspection or due diligence for SIP houses of this age in a humid climate? Or JUST RUN!
