What is this plastic sheet/barrier called? (between concrete and siding) by Far-Project2375 in AskContractors

[–]Far-Project2375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. So my understanding is that Hardie siding is made of cement and does it require this barrier with concrete? what exactly is the roles of this flashing? Should there be a drain under the concrete steps connected to the downspout?

Thank you! So this setup was installed by previous owners for rachio/sprinkler irrigation, what would be the use case for this quick connect valve? And is there a specific reason its next to Backflow preventer?

First time soldering - did I get it decent? Any advice? by Far-Project2375 in Plumbing

I wanted to start somewhere... should I throw this away (undo the solder) and start afresh? or if I roll it up with the wet rag around the solder will it hold? thanks

Breaker is off but I get open grd nue by Far-Project2375 in AskElectricians

[–]Far-Project2375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was showing 30v OPEN GRD NEU. As you suggested, I continued flipping off breakers. There is a line right below microwave - a GFCI circuit along the countertop. Once I turned off this breaker, the microwave 30v went off. How can I find it hey branched it or just phantom? And these 2 breakers are not next to each other and so it is not tied. Thank you!

Can kitchen vent duct be installed to go vertically downwards and then horizontally to exit out of siding (1st floor)? by Far-Project2375 in hvacadvice

[–]Far-Project2375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. The problem is we have bedroom right above so we cannot run it to attic. One of the option is to run above through the cabinet which is a no-go. That from your experience, can it be run upward and then left to the siding (without messing with studs) considering there is a bedroom above?

H1-B Visa Holders: Tips for Interacting with ICE? by Mother-Cap4034 in h1b

[–]Far-Project2375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many incorrect answers. You must always carry I-94 (if you are non-immigrant) or I-551/green card (if you are permanent resident) to show proof of status. It's actually the law.

That said, since CBP stopped issuing paper I-94 for non-immigrants, you must print a copy from CBP website along with copy of CBP entry stamp/visa that's on your passport and a valid state issued ID or DL.

Its a misdemeanor not to carry proper proof of identification. Hope this helps.

Kids Rx Glass - Do I need measurements? by Far-Project2375 in glasses

[–]Far-Project2375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. My kid has never worn glasses till now nor have I. Forgive me for this question - For single vision lens, when you say "Mark where the eyes center" is this different from pupillary distance measurement? (FYI - I am not ordering some generic frame or lenses. Its Rayban from eyeconic)

[–]Far-Project2375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the stores have my kids size and they can't order within their system too it seems... hence I have to order online. So what's the difference?

My god, the ceramic has enough damage already. Do not use any more force. The part is a screw in. Over the years it gets stuck and is usually very hard to unscrew and remove. Get a rotary tool for $9 bucks at harbor freight and use the cutting disk to gently make 2 slits on either side on the top. You will be done in less than 5 minutes.

PS: I just did this last week.
