This is the Costco QX Revo Plus making a clicking sound (coming from front wheel housing) over bumps. I returned it because the sound annoys me, and my old S4 max (same house, same floors) never made this noise. My question is… do all modern models of Roborock make this noise? Do I need to find a different brand?

If you listen to the video there’s a clicking sound every half second or so. That’s the front wheel mechanism riding over the bumps in my wood floor (it has a hand scraped effect so the planks are designed to have these sort of dips in them). This sound also happens when the vacuum drives off a rug back to the wood floor. This sound annoys me a lot (particularly because we run it at night) and my old S4 Max never made it, over the same floors. I even swapped the front wheels between them (they looked identical) and it still made the clicking sound.

I changed the setting in the app so that it drives parallel to the plank direction, as opposed to the perpendicular you see in this video. While I will admit that reduced the frequency of the sound significantly, I still hear the clicking enough, between the rug/floor transition and a few other scenarios, that I was annoyed, and I retuned it to Costco.

We store our clean kitchen towels on the top shelf in this cabinet. If you pull one out, it often pulls others on to the floor. Is there some kind of product that would help? Maybe something better than a simple bin?

I’ve heard tomato plants reach the end of what they’ll produce and then leaves start to die off, is that right? How do I know if I’m looking at that, or if I’m not watering enough or some other reason?

Hi, I’m watching my first set of bluebirds nest in my camera bird nest, and it had a cowbird egg in there too. I’m familiar with how cowbirds lay their eggs in other nests. and that often the other nestlings suffer from it. It is because cowbirds hatch first and then are bigger than their nestling mates, and demand more of the food? In my case, the cowbird hatched 4 days before the other bluebirds, and he’s massive compared to them… is it possible he’d suffocate one of them by laying on top? One of my blue birds isn’t showing up in the camera anymore, not long after this video.

This is my brand new Qrevo (XR I believe?) and the second time I’ve run it. It’s making a clicking sound once it starts going in a straight line. I paused it and checked the wheels and dustbin and brush, it all looks fine to me.

I’ve only had the Birdfy bath for a couple of days. It makes a clicking sound when the fountain is not running, like in this video. What is that about? When the fountain is running that sounds stops and is replaced by a softer sound of the fountain running.

Kind of cool to see the egg come out on camera, and see how the cowbird skedattles out there right afterwards. Most of my posts are questions, so I wanted to contribute something more fun to the group! Too bad it wasn’t recorded in color during the day!

Note: I do know about cowbirds laying eggs in other birds nests, and how it’s all part of nature.

Im getting too many notifications from the app, specifically the one above keeps repeating. But I looked through app settings and don’t see any notifications settings…?

I just checked the temp inside the box in hottest part of the day, and it’s 108F. No eggs yet but I bet she’ll lay them any day now. I always see her with her mouth open in the videos, she’s hot right?

See the second picture, should I move the pole over 10 ft to the left so it’s closer to the house and maybe more shade? This part of my yard is on the north side and the hole faces east. Would moving it that far make them abandon it for sure?

Or does anyone have a suggestion to create shade over it, maybe using the fence right behind it?

So for a year I had no activity in my camera nest box, I forgot how the app works. Today I notice some grass and stuff near the box so I check inside and there’s a nest! They apparently started 2 days ago right as the network went down!!! Ugh that’s a shame. But I’m logged back in the app and this is the last recording before the outage. Should I be going to the brooding tab and clicking the checkmark on this question? What happens if I do or don’t click it?

Help me with paint strategy please! My kids jack and Jill bathroom currently has agreeable gray paint color and warm brown cabinets. There’s only a little natural light, and no big walls (they all have doors or sinks or tubs on them). I was thinking of a peaceful blue color, but when I look for inspiration pictures on the internet, they all have big solid walls that contrast nicely with trim, or they have a ton of natural light. Neither which is my case.

Do I go light in color because there’s little natural light and small walls? Colors I was drawn to on inspiration pictures (SW): debonair, storm cloud, Aleutian, niebela azul.

Me and my kids want to know what came out of the cocoon we’ve been watching. We just saw a cecropia moth flying the other day, but this looks more brown and I think it’s something else? Sorry the pics aren’t the best, the glass jar messes up the view.

I’ve never ever seen robins touch my feeder, and read that’s normal, they want to forage on their own. But the last couple of days I’ve seen them on there. It’s been raining a ton the last few days, could that be it? Except I’d think the opposite, the rain would bring all the worms to surface and they’d have more than enough worms.
