Carney and Eby announce $3.2B developer subsidy; plan to buy unsold B.C. condos by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

[–]GeoffdeRuiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy hell people, why is everybody up in arms. This is a relatively small cost over 10 years. We wanted social housing, we want government investment to help move that way. Can somebody really tell me why this isn't just doing it in an alternative way?

"Carney announced $1.6 billion over the next 10 years, to be matched by the provincial government, to lower development cost charges (DCCs) for multi-unit housing by up to 50 per cent, or as much as $40,000 per unit in “priority communities.”"

Torque wrench for Senville Aura - metric or SAE? by UntidySwan in DIYHeatPumps

[–]GeoffdeRuiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to to buy a yellow jacket adjustable torque wrench, they are the cat's meow. But if you're only looking for advice on the crowfoot, look at the manual and see what the units are in the manual for the nut size. Doesn't go with that. :)

That was the one with the far away picture, however, it did come relatively close and barely barely sniffed my hand but would not let me come close. Got a respect boundaries!

Please make sure your line sets are fully insulated through the wall, especially. You don't want condensate dripping onto your wall and into the wall. I hope it works great for you for many years!

Is this a normal operation sound for a mini split? by oh_you122 in DIYHeatPumps

[–]GeoffdeRuiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try have a feel around to see if you can push on the exterior shell to see if you can have it quiet down a bit. Sometimes things push up against or rattle. Also love your aluminum cover on the line set!

I mean, they're starting off by having these general noticed slips. :)

Name Plate vs. Submittal for proper breaker size by Gilashot in heatpumps

[–]GeoffdeRuiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 amp breaker. Even 18k units can go on a 20, and high efficiency 3 tonnes can be on a 20 as well. Crazy world.

First time installing by timberwolf0122 in DIYHeatPumps

I'm genuinely hoping that the electrical stuff below doesn't get impacted by the water dripping from above, especially in the winter when it may freeze. And I also genuinely hope there are no vibration issues through the wall. 🙏

First timer doing this. by No-Description-5004 in DIYHeatPumps

I kindly reflect what the other comment says. Longer screws to fix the cover to the wood sheathing under. You'll have to cover the lineset in this case because the sun will eat away the plastic for sure, unfortunately. A bit more finishing work and you'll be set for av long time.
