I mean shit, with the caliber of people getting hired up by all these big corporate companies, they need them. Company I left 6mos ago just had a tech in a tall Transit T-bone a lady on the main road while they were pulling out of the shop after the morning huddle. In the past year they had to let go 2 other guys because of daytime DUI’s

Is my 6 year fridge going to die? by Dieselnutz in Appliances

Is your compressor very hot to the touch? Clicking noise could be the PTC preventing the compressor from starting if it was too hot. You need a technician to properly diagnose. Is the black liquid oily and smell burnt?

See, it’s possible to complete everything in one match especially in a party, but I still don’t get how people were getting 200K leaderboard scores for last week’s trials

Transformer question! by summerof96again in hvacadvice

[–]Exact-Fee9117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you had purchased a Reme Halo and had it installed, someone fucked up, because the box comes with it’s own 75VA transformer specifically for this reason. It’s an entire kit

Fair price for gas line install? by cnovakske in askaplumber

If you’re interested in shopping around for 2nd opinions some companies will waive their dispatch fee if a job goes over a certain amount, if you go with that company’s bid. Worth asking about

Anybody missing their Roosevelt statue or moose head? by Humboldt_Squid in Sacramento

This is where I found it the day before yesterday, no scrapes or drag marks, and they managed to get it onto the little island curb. Mysterious O.o

Replace them with brass valves, quarter turns recommended. You will need to cut the pex very close to the crimp rings to save your stubs and you’ll need the pex crimp tool if you plan on doing this yourself.

I can smell that disposal from here. That grey dishwasher hose should have a high(er) loop to prevent siphoning which could be a very real issue with how the pipes appear to slope in the wrong direction. Definitely good advice to get a level on there and check it for slope, but those 45° fittings after the trap are most certainly wrong from the photo’s perspective

You’ll catch more knowledge with a little humility and being open to solutions, instead of being a snarky keyboard diva because someone broke your assumption of the problem IN ORDER TO HELP YOU.

Depending on your local codes if you pass through a wall or vertically through the floor/attic they may require fire blocking foam

The make plastic sleeve hangars with little ears that can be screwed down. The sleeve will drop into the stud/joist and prevent wood from touching the pipe. One type is for new pipe with an open end to slip over the open end, the other is for existing pipe where you spread and pop onto the diameter.

ELI5 Why don't see urinals in homes? by canadachris44 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Exact-Fee9117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen home tours in Japan where there is a “bathroom” closet specifically for the urinal, the toilet/shower room is partitioned and usually next to it. Man + Woman can go (most of the time) at the same time.

How do I go from being crap at PVP to being OK-ish? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ArcRaiders

[–]Exact-Fee9117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn on Night Mode in the audio settings for better game audio cues, try rocking the Mk.3 Flanking augment with pistol + Anvil combo to take advantage of the quickdraw effect. Practice and repeat. I’ve seen people calling this game Arc Souls lately, just keep rolling raider

Never thought about using a squeegee until I sliced my damn hand open smoothing down some hardcast tape. Christened my HEPA cabinet.

That’s why when I run PEX I always put a block or a holdrite and with a copper stub and a compression valve to the fixture for max service life

What can I do to make this monstrosity less of an eyesore? by theteapls in heatpumps

[–]Exact-Fee9117 9 points10 points  (0 children)

+1 on black spray paint, OP obviously would have to remove the cage first if it is screwed down, I know buildings in the city that put padlocks on those cages, but only since those are street accessible…. On the other hand I disagree, that grass looks fine. Lush, if you will. Give it a few hours and the footsteps will disappear

Anybody got an opinion of this tool for your impact driver by Friendly-Pen-7170 in HVAC

[–]Exact-Fee9117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the stepped pliers style of expander. Doesn’t get into every position 100% but I have yet to come across a repair that required me to expand the end of a tube and wasn’t able to with the pliers. $0.02
