Hello! I'm trying to prepare my house for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season. My recently purchased house doesn't have any type of window protection.
I unfortunately don't have recessed windows, so I won't be able to use hurricane window clips.
What is a cheap & easy solution for window protection? I Ideally wanted to do plywood and hurricane window clips.
Thank you!
Hi! My 2026 Corolla Hybrid SE just hit 500 miles. I plan to do an oil change at 500, 1000, and 5,000 miles.
My owners manual and oil cap both say to use SAE 0W-16.
What oil and filters do y'all use? What is best?

Hi! I'm getting an irrigation system installed on my property. Turns out my neighbor literally behind me owns an irrigation company! He's offering me a stellar neighbor discount.
4 zones (2 front, 1 side, 1 back)
10k sq foot coverage (haven't confirmed head to head yet)
Includes backflow preventer
Includes Hunter X2 Controller
All for $3,000
He's working on the design for it. So I may have further questions once I get it.
He's offered getting a Hunter X2 controller. From my research, this is just a timed wifi controller.
I want to get a smart controller that is wifi compatible. Minimum 4 zones. But 6 would be ideal. I would like it to account for temperature and weather.
ChatGPT recommended Rachio 3 and Hunter Hydrawise (Pro-HC / HPC Series).
Which do y'all use and recommend?
Hi! I'm designing a DIY sprinkler system. I'm pretty confident that the backyard and side yard are correct.
Could I please get someone's help positioning sprinklers at the front of the house? Thank you. 🥺
