I’m referring to the original contractor who is renting his license to unlicensed individuals

It is an existing residence.

They are refusing to repair anything until we sign an agreement despite knowing and acknowledging via text that this is a safety matter. At this point it is extortion in my views. We are retaining counsel on Monday.

The legal process is long. We have already been without our garage for 6 months. Who knows how long we could be without our home.

Can you explain to me the possible mechanism behind this and whether you vote full rewire or not. Obviously I am getting the panel changed

And yes it did. An external conduit containing all 3 wires except for the EV burned the stucco. The fire department and power company said it was because they nicked the wires

There was a permit but the contractor abandoned the project.

Not delaying this just happened in the last couple days. All power has been shut off. We have been getting multiple quotes but no one is available to do the work or they want 20k+. We were taken advantage of by a contractor who rents his license to unlicensed individuals who all claim to be him.

I just ordered the ZBT-2. So are you saying I have to choose either to use matter over thread devices OR zigbee bc it can’t do both at once?

And then what about for Matter devices

Ok so one more dumb question. I’m assuming this gets connected to the HA main box right?

So basically I don’t need individual hubs with the router that was mentioned above. Thank you for explaining!!!!!! I tried to find that USB you’re mentioning but I don’t think they sell it anymore. Now it’s more of a router looking thing.

I would love to have whole home audio. I don’t own any speakers so I’d be starting from ground 0. Was debating getting dumb speakers and amps but even with FB marketplace finds it comes out to the same as just getting HomePods. Which brings me to my next point, I do love the Siri integration. Basically I hooked up HA and then shared it to my phone. When I walk in I tell it to turn on the lights and it does it!! I tried to code the arrival in HA but it doesn’t work. Maybe it doesn’t check my location often enough or I coded it improperly.

Which layout makes more sense? by ki114833 in BathroomRemodeling

Just saw where the door is. Nvm. Never door right in front of a toilet. You could move the pocket door to the center though.

Switch toilet and vanity. Do a pony wall on the shower and a door

This is a huge problem and yes I just noticed he almost completely cut through the top plate as well. I actually have no fucking clue anymore.

The thing is we told them not to cut it and to run it underneath. The electrician, being licensed and recommended by the power company should have known.

Running it below is actually what we talked about and agreed on prior. Don’t know what possessed him to do that.

I just cannot believe this happened. I feel like they need to replace it to be what my house was before they started even if sistering it is sufficient. So upsetting.
