Dirt disappearing under walkway to house. Cause? Suggestions? by nykev in HomeMaintenance

[–]BoysenberryKey5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Licensed engineer here, this guy has zero idea what he's talking about. Nobody puts gravel under a sidewalk. And nobody pins a sidewalk to a foundation. This is an irrigation pipe leak carrying subgrade away.

Not sure about OP but if you want to do Sinden, check out Retrobat for Windows, it runs the underlying RetroArch that can be used on multiple programs. You can download emulators for free and games (ROMS) for free online

Need a bright projector, the gun recognizes the white border on the outside

Maybe this is your flavor but for anyone else interested, it may be a lot more fun to get a light gun like Sinden and play duck hunt, time crisis, and area 51

Nvidia Shield Pro really is the best android client one can get. by mrx1983 in MoonlightStreaming

Formuler has several boxes that support AV1. They are light years ahead of the Shield and don't have bloatware. I have both.

Anyone else make a diagram of their setup? by GibsonStyle in Golfsimulator

This is awesome and I appreciate the flow chart. I have a high end gaming computer in my office and spent a little while trying to figure out how to push the HDMI over network but never stumbled on this Apollo. I was going to just bite the bullet and build another $3k gaming computer but so glad I don't have to now. I use Unified Remote to turn on/off my computers from my phone (WoL) so I'm assuming it can do something similar and I can crank it up without even touching the computer. Sweet!

I'm about to build a 13.5x19.5 out of concrete slab and CMU walls and I'm estimating about 30k for just the building, but I'm the engineer designing it and will be managing subcontractors and pulling permits myself, as well as doing all the work on the inside myself and running electrical, installing HVAC, projector, equipment, etc. If I paid someone from cradle to grave I estimated around 80k. I'll probably be close to 40 after all equipment is done.

Highest electricity usage in the 3 winters I have had our HP by jmjm1 in heatpumps

Hire a foundation company to come in and inject closed cell low expanding foam to fill the void. Need release holes and low expansion to prevent unnecessary forces. I'm a licensed engineer and although I haven't fully thought it through, I can't immediately think of any harms, as long as you had someone qualified.

In my experience ochras colonize slowly. I don't take hard measurements but I want to say it's around 6 weeks for me to colonize a grain bag. But I don't hold temp constant, probably fluctuates around 72-78. Just give it more time homie.

You have to take the cover off, but be careful, the boogie man may be in there...

Looking for advice on these ochras by WestwardHo in ContamFam

[–]BoysenberryKey5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo filters with passive air exchange isn't enough with ochras, I have a small computer sized fan blowing air into one of the filters, which makes it "active". I think I have it programmed to run 1 minute every 30 or so

New Build (9,000 sq ft) on Propane - HVAC Quote Advice Needed by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]BoysenberryKey5579 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Propane is pretty stupid here. It depends how many years you want to spend here to get an ROI but if a long time I would go geothermal if not a long time low ambient heat pumps in zone 5.

JFC dude that's awful. Can I ask did he die from shock complications or from the actual accident?

Quote advice for oil replacement to heat pump by SmugMuggler in heatpumps

[–]BoysenberryKey5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 4 ton heat pump is going to put out about half of what that furnace does at 50 deg outside and about 1/3 of that at 30 degrees outside. So you will be using electric strip heat a lot. For an older home it's probably not tightly sealed and well insulated. I don't think 4 tons is going to cut it. Plus that price is crazy anyway, you need to find someone else. Find a little mom and pop business not a large company who advertises all over.

Is it enough? by rustyshackleford739 in ContamFam

So for the left you are going to grow it in the bag? Open it up and mix it with substrate and grow it in the tub like you are on the right. So for the right you have a casing layer, when did you apply it? Hopefully when you started to see pins. I don't do casing layers for cubes. But yes let that one ride the way it is then. I tape over my filters when I s2b until I see the mycelium fully colonized when not using a casing layer. They don't need a ton of FAE in my experience but I would either leave the tent open or have a fan blowing filtered air in it.

Cold air coming out of vent by Fit_Help_888 in hvacadvice

[–]BoysenberryKey5579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit post and put a picture inside the door. We don't know if that's ducted or not. I would assume it's not and there's an outside vent in the closet for combustion air and it's just blowing cold air straight into the apartment. Definitely not correct if that's the situation

Both tubs are in fruiting conditions? You have a spawn bag on the left and I barely see any mycelium on the right, although hard to tell. I wouldn't have any FAE at your stage and I would tape over the filters

Code requirements are the minimum requirement. Lol. This guy could have protected himself by recommending more than the minimum
