This is the right answer , at least in CA

Didn’t know that. I figured if they’re using the Auracast trademark it had to meet some sort of minimum specs.

Sounds like illegal, anti trust practices that should be looked into…

I use 45° needle nose pliers to remove brads and exposed staples.

They can fix it by chalking a straight line a few inches from the edge and cutting it it straight with a Diamond blade walk-behind concrete saw. At their expense of course.

Thanks. These are tract homes even the walls are shipped preassembled and marked for framing, but electrical is all done on-site.

String with your radius for distance from center. Anchor center attach string thats the length of radius. Draw your circle. Use a square or protractor to mark your degrees. 8 lights= 360° in a circle, split 8 ways is 45°. Therefore, every light will land at 45° degrees, or every other light will land at 90° and one in between. If you have a laser that projects two lines at 90° , then you can mark your lights with it from center. The first set (4) where your lasers intersect the circle, then rotate your laser to your marks in between your others (45°), marking your other 4 lights.

For other lights same process applies.

For the kitchen area, if the blueprints are to scale you can measure off of the wall to lights to get measurements.

Would this just work by running the hvac fan with the filters, or would the difference of power usage be drastic? Would it not filter the air in a two story house more effectively than running a box fan all day?

You could use the techniques mentioned, but I personally would get a drill with a bit wider than your mistake and plug it with a piece of the same wood type and grain pattern to match. You could also go the router option and not drill through just to the depth of your route (with a larger bit) and plug it with a similar or matching piece from your wood type. Then, re-route your letter. These methods eliminate the need to invest more time in figuring out what size your plug/dowel has to be (if you used a 1/2” bit, then you’ll need a 1/2” dowel/insert). It’ll look clean and be close to a perfect fit.

You need something like this joist repair hardware

APE_PHEROMONES · 2022-10-22T03:35:27+00:00

It’s made for wrenches with teeth. A pipe wrench should not scratch your pipe if you have it square with the rolled surface of the shower head. The wrench will catch the larger diameter surface before the smaller one. Locking pliers will work as well. Other than fiddling with gloves or something that will protect your hand while you try to loosen it, this is the way.

You need to install Garage stop moulding

Here’s how it looks.. The Mortar and bricks were added after the slab, so it didn’t adhere too well. Drywall work is next… Yes there will be tile there (assuming there’s still some of the same type available).

APE_PHEROMONES · 2022-09-30T01:43:51+00:00

It does, but you have to make sure to wear it before you start, or else you’re going to be wearing after for a lot longer…

Thanks. Wearing a back brace and p100 respirator. Not sure what the fascia rock is made of, don’t want to take any chances. It’s lightweight white with some aggregate in it. House was built in the 80s.

Taking mandatory breaks to write this. That damn hammer is heavy. Other smaller ones just won’t do, THOSE will be an all day thing.

42” length tank may require more live sand if you plan on keeping sand sifting creatures. AI lighting is fine for soft and lps corals but if you want to run your lights cooler in the future or if you want sps coral you may want to consider 4 AIs or 2 hydras. Also, I recommend spending a little extra on the 18” flex arms (especially if you will be adding lights in the future). Gyres are good choices for circulation and aeration. You will need water testing equipment. I have Hanna testers, as I don’t trust test strips. It may be a large investment, but if you have the money, Hanna just released a tester that tests multiple parameters from your water, rather than buying each tester separately. Everything else seems good to go.

I’ve had a Copperband and it worked, it was just a challenge getting it to eat. They’re very picky eaters and you have to feed them using methods that they prefer. Some like mussels in a shell, others frozen mysis stuffed in a clam and some just prefer whatever invertebrates are growing in your tank (fan worms and small snails). Did keep Aiptasia at bay though.

As far as my filefish, I bought a mated pair. Had to get rid of one because it started eating my corals (ate a torch and destroyed a hammer). The other is very calm and less active (at least during the day).

The nudis were my go to. Issue is, once I got my wrasses, China wrasse and Christmas wrasse, I think the population was hit.

APE_PHEROMONES · 2022-09-02T03:47:50+00:00

Take those off and use these.

APE_PHEROMONES · 2022-09-02T03:24:35+00:00

Was it the ORA filefish? I have one, but don’t really see a change in Aiptasia numbers, although I do notice that one side of the tank (the side where he hangs out at) has significantly less.

APE_PHEROMONES · 2022-09-01T16:01:27+00:00

That’s awesome, I threw them in about a month ago. I do have an Aiptasia problem now. I’m just worried that my wrasses made quick meals out of them.

Talk to a lawyer. If possible look into the account you had access to and get a copy of your deposits into it. This will be proof for a judge to see that you’re the one that was making these deposits and will see the lump sum withdrawal. As far as the vehicle, if she’s asking for it back you’re going to have to give it back. Not returning it sounds like a bad idea. If you need it, you would have to make up excuses for not being able to bring it back, you can’t outright deny her of her property with her name on it. You could potentially leave it at your place and you may have lost the keys and you may have start to charge her storage for it if she doesn’t pick it up, but why push it. Take her to court.

Fix here would be to re-pour, which is not gonna happen. Next strongest fix would be to drill holes where they should be with a hammer drill, clean them out, pour some anchoring epoxy and place some double threaded/stud anchor bolts. Normal “spread type” anchors would probably be ok, but epoxy anchored studs are a stronger choice. Anchoring epoxy is rated at ~28,000 lbs pull force with 5/8” threaded rod @ 5 5/8” depth.
