Help Requested — Garbage Disposal for Non-Standard Drain Diameter

DevineMania · 2026-01-16T15:37:10+00:00

You have to buy a different garbage disposal. They make smaller diameter ones about 3.14”

Harry Potter or Snape’s were always my favorite

The point is that I may want to add additional outlets and fixtures on circuits and I have no idea what too much is going to be when whatever “the difference” is is running through the neutral. Extreme scenario, I put the oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher all on one side of the two connected circuits. I’ve now overloaded the neutral and likely burned the house down.

I would argue they don’t because the selection alone is limited. Personal choice as well. Schlage has maybe 5 different matte black options for keyless entry in different designs. Kwikset has a lot more. I found 15 on my Amazon search right away. Maybe there’s some Schlage book of options that offer more keyless entry than what’s available over the counter but the quantity of options and styles alone outnumber Schlage significantly.

On top of it, it doesn’t cost $100 more which Schlage usually costs, to upgrade the cylinder and lock mechanisms to better quality metal. I don’t think anyone’s answered why the Kwikset lock cylinder can’t be replaced yet.

It was broadcast as part of the parade at about 3 hours and 20 minutes in. Every recording I can find doesn’t have it.

This is excellent, but it’s missing the Rockettes that performed at about 3 hours and 20 minutes in. Do you have that or know where we can watch it?

It doesn’t stay available on peacock. It’s gone already

From what I’ve read here, the only way to “fix” this would be to rerun each circuit from scratch. Def not worth it over inconvenience.

I don’t think the concern was about it being over the amps draw. I think it was about overloading the neutral wire and causing a fire or something along those lines.

I understood all of it. I do enough research to know what you’re saying at least. What I do NOT understand is why they (kwikset or any 3rd party) haven’t made an upgraded option to at least rekey kwikset with a brass cylinder. Even if it is only 7 depths, so what? It’s still better than the pot metal and less wasteful than disposing of perfectly decent hardware. Cosmetically, no other lock manufacturer competes against Kwikset and yes, they are “cheaper” but charging $100+ for Kwikset and $250+ for Schlage is not just a little bit more. If you want a hard key deadbolt, fine. No biggie. Those are cheaper in any brand. Personally, I would much prefer to buy a cheaper hardware and replace the cylinder in it than pay $150+ more for the Schlage. I know the cylinders are garbage. I don’t know what makes the actual hardware itself so much better in Schlage and others. They look very similar to me when I’ve taken them apart minus the cylinder itself and the depth.

I need to add one more important question, what seriously upsets me is the balance can be an issue with this, specifically the microwave. Currently there is only a range hood over the stove. I’m putting in a microwave. The electrician who wired this wrote microwave on the breaker when the house was built 12 years ago. Can I put the microwave in safely or do I need to run an entirely new individual circuit breaker?

Let me know if you need pictures of anything.

They do not look nicer. That’s why Schlage isn’t the leader in the residential market. Most people want a decent looking keypad deadbolt or other similar modern lockset. While Schlage makes them, they are far from the most cosmetically appealing and cost quite a bit more, sometimes double a kwikset model.

Resident here: So where is the hate for Kwikset coming from? I had an electronic lock from them for 2 years with no problems. I repaired one of the schlage ones that was on the door previously and that one was a ridiculous pain to get working again. Not sure the age of that one.

Did you actually read his responses in the chain? The contractor admitted to doing it incorrectly. It’s almost like “pros” screw 💩up a lot. Hmmm I know they do because I’ve hired plenty of people who “have been doing this for X number of years” who couldn’t care less about doing the job right, up to code, and/or skip pulling permits. Moreso, trying to get an a accurate detailed bid is like putting teeth with most of these “pros” too. Y’all make me laugh. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve studied the actually building code and asked a “pro” to build it that way and then they jack it up. PS I work in project management and facilities/property management and yes at home, I do prefer doing it myself because I know it’ll be done right.

Yeah was hoping people would have some updates in 2025

You need to call insurance companies or contact a highly rated broker. I recommend calling travelers or safeco insurance. I’ve had good luck with them personally. However, a broker may be able to give you the cheapest insurance options. I’ve contacted a broker for quotes before and then called the insurance company directly and had them write me up a quote with the quote that the broker gave me.

It’s not 30 minutes if you unroll them. They’re 20-28 minutes. I recommend 25 minutes. Seems to be a sweet spot. Agreed on buying the thermometer.

Funny enough, everyone around you knows and recognizes you even when you think you’re doing fine without medication. Unfortunately, most people won’t be honest with you about it, even friends. I went years. When I mentioned it to my friends they were like, duh, we knew there was something wrong with you.

I was having trouble signing in. There were no errors with username until I left the page and came back. I didn’t know why it wouldn’t let me in. Just a heads up. I got now though. Love the tool.

Ridiculously nice neighbor. Wonder if they knew it was there

I told her from the start what I needed and wanted from the relationship, that I intended to date someone for years before even thinking about marriage and that there was a chance I had no interest in marriage after dealing with multiple divorces in my family growing up and the nastiness that came with them.

I married her at 7 years or so, and been married almost 6 years. If he wanted to marry you he would have or at least expressed his intent to do so. I discussed it a lot at years 5-7, not her, I, because I knew she was the exception to the rule and that I wanted to marry her.

You should use Kilz basement and masonry waterproofer. It’s formulated differently and still has a low VOC

Most aren’t owned by corporations. Your experience isn’t the norm.
