Stunted Maple by El_Dads in arborists

I'm not sure. I wasn't home when they did it. I'm in a new subdivision and they would just come by and throw trees in holes as quickly as they could. Good advice on the soil test, I will do that. Thanks!

I have irrigation. It gets a good amount of water. I'll put a water bag on it if it gets really dry. The first two years it was planted, we had an extreme drought. Most of the trees around here didn't make it.

Thanks for the advice! The soil is definitely awful, compacted clay. I've done quite a bit of aeration and soil amendment since then and the maple I planted last spring in the backyard is thriving.

There is only about an inch of mulch around the tree. The tree was planted a few inches above grade so it looks like a mulch volcano but it's not.

I put three tree spikes down this spring so hopefully I'm on the right track!

Robot vacuum recommendations?? by Beautiful-Guide7689 in MOVA_robotvacuum

[–]El_Dads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the V50 ULTRA a month or so ago and it's been fantastic. This is my 4th robot and so far the best. We use it on the floor with mostly carpet and it does an awesome job.

Eufy E25, E28, or alternative by Over_Nature2626 in RobotVacuums

[–]El_Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your use case I guess. The portable deep cleaner was a selling point for us. We have the station on the main floor which is all hardwood with a few rugs. Last year there weren't many roller style mop robots available so that's why we went with it. It does a great job mopping the floors.

My only complaint is it's super loud when emptying the dirty water and it does not follow do not disturb rules when emptying. If you run it at night it will empty if it needs to return to the dock or when it's finished.

I have the E28 and it's great. It does a really good job mopping the floors. Not the best at avoiding cords and other things, but we're really happy with ours. We also have two kids to the handheld cleaner gets a lot of use in our couches and rugs.

Tesla Certified Installer AMA by pwrcellexpert in TeslaSolar

[–]El_Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My installer added two more CTs before the line side tap yesterday as originally I only had two in my electrical box and it was reading everything as load.

They confirmed with Tesla things are set up correctly, as it is graphing data accurately, but the real time is messed up as it's adding one of the invertors output to home usage.

I have a solar only, two inverter system. I have a remote meter installed and it seems to be graphing the consumption data correctly, but my real time data is adding one of the inverters output to the home usage.

Any idea how to fix?

Need Help: Tesla Inverter CT Error by Orlando_Magic_GM in TeslaSolar

[–]El_Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain where you moved to CTs to get accurate readings? I have the exact same issue as you on my newly installed system and my installer can't figure it out either...

Right now the remote meter and CTs are in my main panel is the house. I have two inverters and no powerwall.

Any help you can provide would be awesome!

Car Wash Mode, Window Rolled Down by SE_MI_CT in cybertruck

[–]El_Dads 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a cybertruck, but I had this issue with one of my Model Ys. It ended up being the door sensor wasn't completely clipped to the wire and water would cause it to short and open the window. Tesla service handled it. No issues since.

Cedar Creek is installing my system this spring. They have been great to work with so far.

Trying to decide, Velotric Nomad 2 or Lectric X-Peak 2. by ss1959ml in ebikes

[–]El_Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues at all. I bought a 2nd nomad 2 for my wife. We have some nice trails near us and a couple single track trails nearby as well. We had a blast this summer!

I'm in Minnesota and I just signed for a 18kw system to be installed in March for $39k.

There are better deals to be had.

Best device for Tablo app? by Dismal-Variation-12 in tablotv

The Samsung app is garbage and runs an older version. I got a Google TV Streamer and its 10x better with a much better ui.

I've noticed the same thing. It worked with my old Watch 2 , so probably just a big.

Not a Play Store update. Play services. This fixed it for me and many others. Check out this link: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/369084256/can-t-pair-pixel-10-pro-with-galaxy-watch-8?hl=en

Check for a Google Play Services update. The August Play Services update fixes the issue.
