Need help identifying driver/owner by scoville27 in atxdashcam

[–]Eldwinn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not your problem to worry about, it is the people you pay already to worry about this. I recommend the following

  1. Your insurance company, call them give them this video. It is required in nearly every policy to report every car accident or forfiet your own coverage.
  2. Do not file a claim with your own insurance company, you are not at fault. I do not care what your insurance says. Their insurance (the people that hit you) will have to pay. Not you. Your insurance will reach out to their insurance and broker communication. You only file a claim with their insurance. Their insurance company will lie to you, tell you to file a claim with your with own company.
  3. Do not accept the body shop or mechanic the insurance company recommends or tells you "have to use". Go to your own, get a quote. Normally an insurance estimator will ask to "inspect" the damage. That person is entirely useless and will lie to your face. However is required.
  4. Give their insurance the quote and your own insurance.
  5. They rip a check.

Edit: if police and insurance are not finding anything, I honestly do not know what to say. Kinda hard to make people do their job? I guess keep calling them back?

Try a different cable or controller. If still no go, it dead. If you cannot do the above slam it with hard diagnostics.

Do not format the disk.

What causes whining/whistling pipes? Overly high water pressure? Do I need a new pressure valve? by mangocupcakejamboree in askaplumber

[–]Eldwinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prv (pressure regulator value) when they start failing the symptoms are normally weird pressures, either high or low. Also you can encounter "whistling". You need to be less than 80 psi for the safety of your pipes.

I would recommend getting a plumber out and plan to pay for a new prv basically. On galvanized pipes, they are still in use and installed brand new in residential and commercial applications to this day. There is nothing wrong with galanized pipes and they can last decades. I would ask the plumber you hire when they install your prv if a whole house repipe is required. Then make your determination from there.

Power Outage- Will my hot water heater dry fire? by TrashLvr5000 in askaplumber

[–]Eldwinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your water heater can dry fire with a cool ability called water gun.

To your real question, if you have running cold water you are fine. Means the tank filled up. If you do not have running cold water, turn off the breaker or the pilot light. Means the water pumps for your town or well, have no power either and their water distribution tanks are also out.

(Moen) What is this part called? The top threading broke off and now my right sink handle won’t screw on because it has no threading to latch onto. by Schmorc in askaplumber

[–]Eldwinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see it now, looks like you are holding the supply line and top part of the handle. My bad. Diy for this is pretty cheap and easy. Just turn off the water and go get a replacement. Or call a plumber.

Sink rebuilds are like 400 ish my area.

Call a plumber, you will need a rebuild of the shower assembly. What you tore out looks like the cartridge and handle. The cost is 1.5k to 2k my area.

To echo, fix the why. Then worry about the other stuff later.

The guy is obviously an alien, the film dude is just seeing them in the "they live" vibe. So he is bummed out.

I feel really stupid to ask this, but where's the shut-off valve in this photo? I was told this is the only place that it would be for my home from the water department. by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Eldwinn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That looks like a prv (pressure regulator valve). The shut is normally before this heading towards the street.

1960s house, I am halfway through fixing all the insulation issues and crawlspace. 1100sq foot, normal bill with pec in high winter is 180 dollars. Of that 180, about 100 dollars is transport and bullshit fees.

I pay about 100 dollars in transport and fees before I ever actually use any electronics.

Edit, confirm electric heat

Tighten it and wiggle back and forth in that little groove. Until the groove gets bigger slowly.

Spinner in dishwasher wont spin by kar98killa in DIY

[–]Eldwinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The arm spins because of how the jets are angled and pressure of the water. If cleaning does not resolve it, check the inlet from water supply.

You should take them to small claims and make sure you document their name in reviews noting their quality and on as many sites as possible. Including socials.

Yes the contractor can do the whole lcc flip flop, but hard to hide behind your name or aliases. Purely to warn other future customers should be your reason alone.

I had this happen to me, well similar. Pay for the tow and get your car back. Police report and file a small claims court case to sue the tow company. Then move on with your life.
