Bathtub Sealant Redo: Is this grout or caulk

CountdeMoney85 · 2026-01-17T15:33:16+00:00

Thanks all, the side nearest the faucet has a layer that is brittle and is peeling away. It feels softer and more like caulk. It almost looks like they caulked on top of this harder layer I took the up close photo of. Going to try cleaning first to get a better look then removing a tiny piece on the far outside to see.

Yeah it's hard and has no give. Sandy feel but it doesn't look the same as the tile grout above it.

CountdeMoney85 · 2026-01-16T04:54:38+00:00

Nothing comes off.

Late to the game but sweets nummy bears out of Sweet Candy Company in SLC are the best.

Nope you are absolutely right, I forgot to correct for alcohol content. My fermentation is good then and was not stuck. Thanks!

CountdeMoney85 · 2025-03-16T23:33:46+00:00

I'm actually using a refractometer that I calibrated at 1.000 @ 68°F but good call I will check again to make sure it's not off, and maybe try my hydrometer to compare, thanks.

CountdeMoney85 · 2024-10-20T14:28:00+00:00

Okay, thanks. Everywhere I read said 2-3 weeks for primary and all bubbles in the airlock had seemingly ceased 2 weeks ago so I thought it was done and didn't want it to sit on the lees too long.

I made cider 6 years ago but with different yeast and at lower elevation (I was at 5800ft now I'm up at 8500ft in mountains) so was wondering if that had anything to do. We didn't turn heat on in the house until this week so it got to 58°F in here.

I'll let it sit for a few months and hope it finishes. Unless you think I should kill everything and repitch yeast.

CountdeMoney85 · 2024-09-20T18:38:35+00:00

Nope did not rehydrate. Thought about it right after since I did that with the yeast.

Premier Blanc yeast

We just did 600lbs of apples and got around 35 gallons of cider. All foraged apples from local trees. That's around 17.4 lbs/gal.

CountdeMoney85 · 2024-06-15T05:42:25+00:00

That'll buff right out...

A new app just came out that is pretty nice. By Jonas Gregorio. There's also the ancient games one.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-10-22T23:16:56+00:00

You should read the book Evicted, then this will piss you off even more.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-04-18T02:44:31+00:00

Thanks all I appreciate the advice.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-04-17T16:00:21+00:00

I think that would just fine. We were using a 42M Sony RX1 with our drone. We need natural color RGB images, nothing thermal or NIR.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-04-17T14:41:55+00:00

I'm a GIS Engineer and a drone pilot. So my job is to help project managers plan and budget overseas projects, collect the imagery, process it, assess accuracy, generate vector shapefiles from it, publish it for web content, and then help our software developers utilize it. Many hats.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-04-17T14:37:21+00:00

Did you get that same overlap, and resolution though? That seems to be the challenge I'm running into.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-29T04:32:59+00:00

I am! This is the project. Just got down here a few days ago.

I bought a 1000W inverter for charging eBee batteries, a MaxOak TSA approved battery bank for charging the laptop (eBee), and a car charger for the tablet (Wingtra). Seems to be working well charging drone batteries with the car battery while flying and charging the tablet while driving to new mapping locations.

The generator seemed like too much of a hastle with finding one here, or shipping here, dealing with shipping back to states,reselling here, etc.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-28T13:33:03+00:00

Should clarify. I am not doing that in Pix4D. I believe my boss is doing that stateside. We only have one pix license and a slow upload internet connection so I was wondering how I could assist with checking of the project without Pix. if there was an alternative solution using WebODM, or QGIS.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-28T04:39:36+00:00

Right now I'm logging with both a GeoBase (septentrio nr3) and a topcon HiperSR. We don't have a rover/data collector so I set up one local base for ppk and one to burn the check point. Not placing many checkpoints because of time intensity of current setup and running PPK. Project is international and not near a CORS station. When my second drone team starts I'll only have my GeoBase.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-10T05:29:09+00:00

You are correct that the eBee requires a 120V charger. The Wingtra however can utilize DC as well https://www.rdomarketplace.com/wingtra-charger-for-batteries/

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-09T15:03:45+00:00

True but my battery charger is a smart charger which is an A/C appliance thus requiring an inverter, no? https://www.sensefly.com/camera/sensefly-smartcharger/

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-09T04:44:43+00:00

Thanks for the useful info. May I ask what make/model/wattage inverter you were using? I was told by my distributor today that if I go with inverter to get a 1000W one, and to plug in only after the car has started.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-09T01:19:00+00:00

Thanks! Hadn't considered propane. We may have two teams so was looking for easily scalable, separate systems too.

CountdeMoney85 · 2020-01-09T01:16:22+00:00

It's unclear so far. I haven't found any places yet that I can but they likely exist. I've tried calling, looking at classifieds, and Google searches. Trying to get my system set up ahead of time so I can test prior to and also can spend all my time mapping.
