    Wanting to build Bluetooth speaker box

    We would love to have streamed music on our patio and have looked into some readily available Bluetooth speakers, but have found them either lacking in sound quality (not volume!)

    Exhaust fan - bathroom

    I don't like venting up through the roof. 1) Condensation will run back down the pipe 2) Every hole in the roof is a potential leak.

    Help needed buying a new, or near new SUV

    OK, so at this point we are focusing on the RAV 4, sticker price at the local dealer is about 31k and in a brief look around in places like ex-rental car sales we are seeing 2019 car for about 1k less sticker price! Now I know that a vehicle depreciates as soon as it's sold, so what the heck...
