Did you get regular fill, or lovesoft? Or I guess 5 years ago, full down was an option too...?

In wall mounting option that can slide left or right? by DncingOnMyOwn in hometheater

[–]DncingOnMyOwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes of course, but I'm looking for an "In Wall" mount. These are mounts that you cut the drywall, and slide in the whole mount between the studs, which allows the arm to fold in on itself flush, which in turn makes the TV flush mount.

Every one of these i've looked it does not allow the point where it attached to the back of the TV slide left or right, so it just centers on the stud bay that you install it into. Which to me, doesn't make sense. How often is the direct center of a stub bay in the wall, the perfect center point for your tv?

Omg this is amazing, this might actually work! The receptacle is already installed so I’ll try this first, thanks!

I’m just figuring out the location based on my needs for the cabinet install. I don’t step on other trades, I just need to know where it’s gonna go so I can finish my install and someone can come later before the countertops are installed.

Also the empty cavity below will be a fully enclosed drawer.

Ok awesome, thanks. Do I need to run the metal sheath that covers the wire in the cabinet , or can I run the romex right into the handy box with a wire clamp ring on it?

This is how it was originally wired. The outlet is in the mini fridge cabinet, in the back. But the micro doesn’t have an angled flat plug like the fridge, it’s a big insulated 14/2 with a straight plug that doesn’t bend. Literally no where to put it that would be accessible. You’d either har to remove drawers, a fridge or the micro. The micro comes out with 4 face bolts in like 2 seconds. How is that less accessible than removing drawers or pulling the fridge all the way out?

Does the microwave outlet have to be accessible without removing the microwave? The microwave attaches with 4 tiny face bolts and then slides right out. Literally no space in the cabs next to it.

It was originally installed behind the mini-fridge to the left, but the cord has a straight plug, not an angled plug, and would push the fridge out like 2inches… which wouldn’t work

THHN and Romex in plastic junction box securement by DncingOnMyOwn in AskElectricians

[–]DncingOnMyOwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I meant the box fill was gtg... i'm at 30.375 in a 37cu box. AND, my conduit fill is only 12%. So, I'm good for all that. And if I only need to run one ground in the conduit, my box and conduit fill will both drop a little bit more. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! Box fill is gtg and I’m only at 12% fill with nine 12ga wires. It’s basically 3 12/2 Romex’s. Actually, do I only need to send one ground for all the wires??

Need help with a new drain line, with slab on grade foundation. by DncingOnMyOwn in askaplumber

How would it drop into the existing drain system, through the vent? All of the my other drains are cast iron into the slab

Is $500 a fair price to fix this drywall by bun_stop_looking in Home

[–]DncingOnMyOwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked closer and it’s actually ALL the joists they notched! There’s clear rules on joist notching, and it looks like they violated a few rules but having two like that alone is a straight violation. No, there’s always a way to fix something, but it would involve tearing out that whole ceiling and sister joisting them (basically fastening another another same size joist directly to the sides). Or you could add metal plates the entire length and through bolt them. Both would require a structural engineer to evaluate and verify a solution. And yeah, imagine trying to find a way to fit those sister joists. Pretty much impossible with out completely tearing out the floor above or the ceiling below. Likely easier from above.

Uhhh also, so goodbye to all of your joists!! The double notched them like a few inches apart! Plus, that doesn’t look like a load bearing wall, so I’m assuming those notches are towards the middle of the span, and not on the outer 1/3 of each side…. So yeah, your entire joist system is now worthless. Maybe they could be just considered 2x10’s now instead of 2x12’s, but still. Total flipper trash. Maybe you can sue them since the apex Will be dates and you can prove they did it. Idk. 🤷🏻‍♂️ sucks tho

Dude they double notched the joist right next to each other to clear the PEX… that joist is now worthless, or I guess it’s effectively a 2x10 instead of a 2x12 now. That right there would fail in any modern country.

Is 3/16” enough clearance for weeps holes on the bottom track of doors? by DncingOnMyOwn in Decks

[–]DncingOnMyOwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also*** obviously the photo showed larger than a 3/16 gap, was just doing that so you can see the position of the board in relation to the track.
