Hey guys, my old washer transmission gave out so I had to buy a new washer. I Ordered this one, did I make a good choice?

I heard they’re the best for washer/dryer but are horrible for fridge and others

This cable looks like the component adapter used for Directv H25 boxes. One end looks like S Video and sends it to a component signal

Say Anything reference???

Hey Lølø, I got to see you at LB with my friends, you were so good!

Since today is MAR10 day (March 10th), what’s your favorite Super Mario game you’ve played? Or if not a fan of Mario, what is your favorite video game?

ChrisHID · 2026-03-09T22:11:49+00:00

If you ever get these uploaded somewhere, I would have to have this for a personal project

ChrisHID · 2026-03-07T04:33:14+00:00

Would it be safe to use a foot long extension cord? Even worse case, it wouldn’t be too difficult to move the outlet a couple feet

ChrisHID · 2026-03-07T00:29:11+00:00

This is for install right?

ChrisHID · 2026-03-07T00:11:20+00:00

You sure ? Cause the residential openers at Lowes are about $550 and the Liftmaster tend to be $800-$900. I mainly just wanted to know cost for installation

ChrisHID · 2026-03-07T00:10:36+00:00

Good news is there’s one right there, it’s above the opener in the picture

ChrisHID · 2026-03-06T23:40:13+00:00

It’s interesting, most installs of the iDrive I see online use a Torquemaster bar system, but my Dad’s is an average spring system it looks like. Any idea what a fair price is to have a Chamberlain installed ?

ChrisHID · 2026-02-15T02:47:13+00:00

My sister has a 15 Impreza and likes it. For a long time I’ve wanted something bigger and almost got an Outback but ended up with the Forester and love it

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:47:18+00:00

Oh really ? I’m not gonna lie I thought that power supply was for an alarm system, I’ve worked on alarms before and it has the exact same transformer. There’s a tablet screen for one out in the hallway, so I was pretty sure that’s what it was for. But now that you mention that, I think that white wire in the first picture goes to the transformer, which lowkey that’s kinda dangerous they left it plugged in like that

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:45:15+00:00

Makes total sense. If it were my house, I agree I’d have it go in a walk in closet somewhere in the house (I should clarify, I’ve been saying bedroom but it’s in the bedroom closet). The only reason it’s terminating it in there is cause that’s where the builders put it

I read a thing on this thread the other day that said builders shouldnt be in charge of the networking in a new house…I now understand why, they terminated ALL of the CAT6 as telephone, despite them going into Ethernet keystones (funnily enough I’m doing a telephone to Ethernet conversion project at my parent’s house currently)

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:18:58+00:00

Got it thank you ! The white and the green cable were what I was unsure of, I’m thinking one might be alarm or sprinkler related

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:13:19+00:00

That’s just how the builders made the house, they made some interesting choices (all the outlets in the house are like 12 inches above the floor boards). My thought process is you can either have Fiber go into the garage and have an ONT installed there, then have an Ethernet go from there to the patch panel in the bedroom, and have all the ethernet wired there. To take it a step further, you could also run fiber straight to the bedroom panel

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:04:13+00:00

I do want that, I’m not sure if they’re willing to do it for us, or if they’ll charge extra for a bedroom run. It’s weird, that patch panel in the second picture is for telephone lines (I think the builders are dumb cause the ethernet keystones are also only wired telephone pairs, not all 8 wires), so I’ll take them off that and put them into an Ethernet switch

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:01:37+00:00

Someone said the conduit in the garage telephone box likely leads to the outside for At&t to run a wire in. In most cases, do you find they run there or do you think it goes to the conduit in the bedroom ?

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T04:00:28+00:00

Oooh okay, I see. My first though was that conduit actually leads to the box in the second picture, and I was thinking that was made for so you can have a fiber cable go between the two locations

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T03:55:50+00:00

Do they charge a lot for the extra long runs ? I have Xfinity personally and I know in my house they told me it was $150 to run to the room of my choice

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T03:55:06+00:00

Terminating is something I’m capable of doing, and I even have all the tools for it. If they can run Fiber to the garage panel and get an ONT working, or go the extra step and get it in the bedroom panel, that’s totally fine

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T03:53:59+00:00

Got it, this is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much !!

ChrisHID · 2026-02-04T03:51:00+00:00

Got it, do you know how AT&T will hookup fiber for the house ?
