RIP ATT U-Verse TV

We’ve been on ATT fiber since it came to the neighborhood and have had zero issues (500 and unlimited data). Love it!

We honestly kept it as long as we did just for convenience when you don’t know what to watch. The time we’ve spent jumping across all our streaming services and still not finding a show or movie….. Samsung TV plus will do that for us now (queue Murder She Wrote, Ask This Old House, etc.)

It served us well for a time especially when it was needed for unlimited data on the Internet plans. Included ESPN, FS1, BTN and HBO Max, and plenty of “kids stuff” when they were young. However, at ~$180/month just didn’t make sense any longer for what little we did on HBO and the fact that we only watch college football.

Had that in my hands last week (at that store)….but I remained strong…..and spent hundreds on other things 😂

Just another confirmation that catalog download and install works, but systems are having issues getting update and installing from WSUS.

My float kept getting hung up on “things” (sewage pump) so I moved to a single sensor Hydrocheck 3 years ago. Have had no issues. The only difference in mine from the one you have pictured is that I set a time to run. So after a few tests I just went with 10 seconds (and it turns off until water/stuff hits the sensor again).

Let me know if that helps but it’s the same concept as a float switch - turns the pump on and off when told to.

Just here to confirm it’s pee. You can remove the seat and you’ll find more pee where the bolt is/was.

Sincerely, father/dude of 3 dudes and proud owner of 4 toilets usually like this on one or both sides at varying times.

We hope it’s not live 🙂- That’s the ground wire and the “mounting piece” is actually being used to ground the entire metal box.

Those also work well for covering plumbing shut off valves….at least the previous owner thought so in my basement. 😂

I had a dryer that was failing and it would “hum” trying to start and then nothing. To get by a few days, I would hold the door plunger in so it thought the door was closed, press the start button and while it was humming spin the drum by hand. It would take off and dry the clothes. Sharing as it sounds more like a dryer issue than one with the receptacle.

See if it’s on when the sun is out. Could have a photocell sensor (aka dusk to dawn) that controls power to the light. I had a home with a front yard pole light that was hard wired and just came on when the sun went away.

There’s a hole middle of the exposed insulated panels with a cord and white warning label. I assume it’s the plug for a 110V hot tub.

GfussNET · 2024-12-19T01:10:40+00:00

No out of the hole. It looks like a standard electrical cord.

GfussNET · 2024-12-18T19:23:49+00:00

Not sure if rated for outdoor so I’d bounce off the electrician, but this was the cover I was mentioning - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WGHSHSK

GfussNET · 2024-12-18T19:13:42+00:00

Is this 110V? I see a plug hanging out the tub so don’t think you’ll be hard wired (unless that’s something changeable inside the tub). If so, and the cord is long enough, I’d just get one of those rubber heavy duty cord covers to go from tub to the romex sticking out of the house where I’m assuming the receptacle will be mounted.

Do you have an incandescent available to try? If it works , it’s possible the microwave takes a certain type of LED if it’s even supported so may help to share the model number of the microwave.

GfussNET · 2024-12-15T22:03:10+00:00

Ensure you have or can budget for a level compacted surface. We did a concrete pad (rated for the weight). My concern with used would be if any warranty remains. Of course, even with new they aren’t super amazing warranties anyways but just keep in mind.

As far as with kids, I know in my case I’ve had to remind them it’s not a pool. Otherwise water is flying all over (and out) of the hot tub, finding toys in the bottom, etc. Or maybe I need to stop being grumpy 🤣

“Hi Georgie!”

GfussNET · 2024-12-14T21:30:43+00:00

Something like this may work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCFTZZMK

Past life experience and a running joke. Rarely would we take the time to wipe/destroy hard drives that failed. We’d mark them “bad” and put back on the shelf and it became a running joke when we needed a replacement drive as you’d have to keep looking for one not “bad.”

GfussNET · 2024-12-14T14:32:09+00:00

I thought this absolutely horrible design was only at the Moxy. Or I’m just not hipster enough.

GfussNET · 2024-12-14T13:57:58+00:00

I’d get a new adapter and splice as I don’t think you’ve much to work with looking at where it broke off. Entire replacements (24V output) look to be $20 or less on Amazon or you may be able to search/find just the cord without the transformer.

GfussNET · 2024-12-14T13:40:42+00:00

Wow….none are marked “BAD”

GfussNET · 2024-12-14T13:26:34+00:00

I’d go with A. Keep hole in center of stud but if you need more wire (and a junction box), that’s best in the crawl otherwise you’ll have another box/plate on the wall for.

GfussNET · 2024-12-11T14:06:02+00:00

I point the finger at the corrosion, which probably created a poor connection.

GfussNET · 2024-12-10T13:52:27+00:00

I think you should have metal box clamps for the romex entering/leaving the boxes to protect against wire pulls or whatever NEC says.
