LEAK 💧 carpet & padding is soaked to the floor pan - 2016 Highlander

LEAK 💧 carpet & padding is soaked to the floor pan - 2016 Highlander

What a damn mess. Hopefully taken care of before any real mold set in. Time will tell.

Any input from someone who has dealt with this before is welcome.

Did I got overboard pulling out the front & middle seats? The carpet and the sound padding insulation stuff was totally saturated, an inch of water sitting at the bottom. Got the carpet fan circulating since yesterday, planning on replacing the sound insulation stuff. I’m pretty sure the issue was the sun roof drain getting clogged- planning on fixing with this guys solution from YouTube. Helpful video, planning to add rubber tubing today.

Then all I have to do is put it all back together…..

[SELLING] 4 piece Walnut Dillingham Bedroom Set - $800 obo

Edit: SOLD***

Very cool set. Wife bought it a couple years ago, now she wants something else 🤷

From ChatGPT:
“Dillingham walnut bedroom furniture featuring timeless clean-lined modern design and exceptional craftsmanship. This matching collection includes a spacious armoire, dresser, and 2 nightstands, all with rich walnut grain, minimalist styling, and generous storage. Beautifully made with the quality and understated elegance Dillingham is known for, making it a great fit for contemporary, mid-century, or modern interiors.”

From me:
Very heavy and solid wood, you will definitely need 2 or 3 people to move- I just had knee surgery so there will be no one here to help you move it down 1 flight of stairs & into your vehicle. No delivery available.

We have purchased this from a high end furniture store in STL 2 years ago for $1,500 plus delivery, but my wife wants something new and lighter colored. A few small water stains on one of the nightstands as seen in the photo.

-Measurements-
Dresser:
H: 29
D: 19
W: 74

Armoire:
H: 69
D: 19
W: 38

Nightstands:
H: 22.5

Located near 43rd and Halsted, Bridgeport.

It did get better. And worse. This place is so dumb.

Putting the Surge in ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Gonna be non weight bearing for 6 weeks, crutches for 10 weeks plus summer heat coming. Figured I’m not gonna wanna/be able to deal with pants/shorts + belt + sheath for a couple months.

ACL reconstruction + distal femoral osteotomy, the latter is why it’s such a long NWB, cuz I know someone’s gonna ask.

Am I crazy thinking I can install these ikea white laminate countertops in a day or two?

Wife has wanted white laminate counters for a long time. I ran the numbers and I think I can do it for $440 for these ikea counters.

Main potential issues I see-
1- the two 98” ones will meet in the middle of the sink (red line in photo)- does that location for a seam matter or NBD?

2- Needing to trim one or two sides of the “island” piece- adding the “edging strip never looks that great, so I’d like to avoid if possible.

3- the ~4” part that goes up the wall/backsplash- do I need to just order an extra 1 or 2 pieces of the 98” one to rip strips of? Or use a different material?

What am I not thinking about? Is this gonna be easyish? I think I’ve got all the tools and almost enough knowledge to go for it, but idk, never done countertops. And you can see in the last photo, current ones are barely secured in some areas.
Thanks.

Anyone want this Kirkhof Power Pak Resistance Welding Transformers ashtray?

Had this for years, just collecting dust.

Good condition, ceramic, clean.

Anyone want it? Got it at estate sale many years ago, getting rid of stuff. Figured someone here might want it for the price of shipping- lmk before I donate this weekend.
