I changed guys and houses haha

The worst part is that I talked to someone and explained what happened. They told me they would have to come look at it but it would have to wait until Monday. It was Saturday night and I live in the Buffalo NY area and it was winter. I couldn't get anyone to come look at it so I ended up using a kerosene heater. (the indoor type). When I found out it was a fuse that he could have just told me to replace I was pissed. I understand it was my own fault but it seems like he could have told me over the phone to check that and still have charged me.

Note, cut power to your boiler or furnace before touching the wires. I had learned this the hard way and changed a thermostat without cutting power. While it is low voltage, two wires must have touched and blew a fuse in my furnace causing it to stop working. It cost me $300 for someone to come out and swap what was a basic car fuse.

Right! Plus the mats would be great for working out and could easily be removed for resale.

I don’t know what your budget is but if you want it to be a workout space check out stall mats. They are just rubber mats like you’d have in a gym, usually in 4x6 foot pieces. They could just be laid over the asphalt floor and could be cut to size pretty easily. Local farm supply stores would likely have them if you are in the US.

Seriously. Post it there. Astronaut, purple circles…. Everything about it is fitting.

This is amazing. If you shared this with r/superstonk I am pretty sure they would go nuts. Either its a huge coincidence or you’re one of them!

You could fill it with some wood putty and try to blend the texture and paint it… or go the easy rout and buy a metal hook and screw it in over the marred section.
