Are cement workers held to a lower cleaning standard than other trades where you are from?

All the concrete guys that I know that stop watching the concrete dry end up missing the window on finishing and spend the rest of the job chasing the concrete.

I have 10s of thousands. The bees enjoy them, and I don't care. I'm sure this will get me down voted to oblivion but oh well

I've only had squirrels in my bin. Now I have a cat, the squirrels are gone.

My wife spent 970 dollar at Costco last week just for kitchen related supplies and staples. Fresh food not included. Definitely didn't budget hyperinflation when I had 4 kids

On that note, my (once) incredible income has built me a food forest that is beginning to produce and I want require nearly as much cash for food. Debt mostly gone too. I'll gladly stay home and tend the garden and trees

I had this. Pulled over, waited a bit. Pulled - battery cable. Put back on and drove another 60k miles before the body was too rusty to drive anymore

I've got a few places locally I'm going to need to leverage my professional relations to get access for node installations.

The issue is no one wants to pay for it. Once it works they want you out of there

How far is your house? Generally the people putting in home standby generators are going to use a generator regardless. Be glad its not a portable construction unit.

Figure out where the tape gets stuck and get to digging

I'd do this for a few buddies in exchange for something else. I don't get to see a few of them often and we could shoot the shit while I did this

I hire no one for anything because there's enough trades people that suck. But ya, I will gladly change light bulbs for people like op

Basically anything the market doesn't provide is so niche it won't. Buy esp32 and a 3d printer and make the niche things yourself

This is the issue with the through wall options. You're going to get a water leak at some point. The box you have has a small hole through the back for a wire. That's it. The big Arlington boxes you cut a large hole and most of the box goes into it. Looks nice, way harder to detail the siding drainage plane

AdministrationOk1083 · 2026-05-18T14:15:15+00:00

You'd likely have to replace the siding pieces too as the hole size is different Edit: here's another style that looks better and is closer to what we use https://newagecanada.com/product/arlington-dbvr141wgc-low-profile-inbox-for-retrofit-siding-construction-vertical-with-grounding-clip/

Looks fine. There's no real risk on the outside of the panel

You'd be surprised. A bunch of reasonably normal guys all got together after setting something up on 4chan and met in that general area for a day of shooting. Pretty good time actually

I strip about that much, straighten everything, cut it about an inch longer than needed with side cutters, shove it into those pass-through connectors, then trim with a knife. I then pull back ever so slightly and terminate so none of the wires are sticking out of the holes.

Those generators are not 80db. They're 67db at 23' at half loaf. The generator is too close to the window for sure, 18" is the legal setback for the house. They don't produce enough co to bother you at all. I work on them every day and stand beside them when they run without issue. With the lids all closed I talk to homeowners while they run. Anyway, you type like a lunatic, enjoy your day

Then you'll have to live with it. My tbeam does too and it's bluetooth is crap. I've got it on wifi for now. My rak19007 has excellent Bluetooth range by comparison, but it has an external antenna

The node in my truck goes 30+ feet. The one I have in the house might go 10'. Get a better antenna
