She went for a chai and a breakfast burrito. 20 minutes later she calls me and I think the worst.

She sat in the back seat of her Ioniq 5 to feed our skittish puppy a pup cup. With the child safety locks on. And she couldn’t get out.

We had a laugh, and I got a kiss from the damsel in distress! ♥️💋

    Yeah, no lol. I fix computers, but the only electrical I’ve ever done is replace light switches with dimmers, and even then I was running back and forth tot he breaker box to confirm power was off. I don’t trust myself with 50A+, not by a long shot.

    I got my third quote and it comes to $1800 plus charger purchase. I’m split, because the $1500 estimate is from the OG builders of our house, but this quote is from my local brewery owner who praised them for the work on his own charger setup. I’m leaning towards the latter though. Plus, they itemized in advance as well. Downside is drywall patching isn’t included, but I hope the access holes they’ll be using the route cables will be minimal and I can personally patch them.

      It’s worth asking for them to try to keep the holes they cut out intact so you can just plug the holes without having to buy and cut drywall to fit. It’s not super complicated. You can find simple, short tutorials on YouTube like I did. You just need some cheap supplies and a power drill.

        That’s a great idea! And it’s in a tucked away area so my patch job doesn’t need to be perfect. I’m actually happy they aren’t ripping out an entire strip of it, as that’s what one of the other contractors was expecting to do.
