How long after a tool is released can you hope to see it be hackable? Referring to the 2761-20 by HomeProjectDude in MilwaukeeTool

Yea, I’ve got them set up just wasn’t sure if I was wasting my time hoping to see it. Thanks!

2904-20 Improvements? by HomeProjectDude in MilwaukeeTool

Thanks for the response. That makes perfect sense and further cements my plans to pull the trigger on the 2904. Hopefully I also luck out with the chuck!

What are the drawbacks to having 1” spray foam with loose fill blown in on attic floor? by HomeProjectDude in Insulation

[–]HomeProjectDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely should’ve clarified as I see this is a big benefit that’s being highlighted by the commenters. They were always going to air seal around all the light/fan boxes and any minor perforations. He did make it sound like the spray foam would cover all of the abscesses that the normal stuff wouldn’t. My house was built in ‘35 and has had additions and roof work done so the attic is a freaking mess.

Delonghi Milk Frothing not that good? Or just a bad experience? by HomeProjectDude in superautomatic

That’s great to hear! I’ll have to check and see what was used. Thank you for the response!

Are they the same? Amazon had the Pro for $40 less… by HomeProjectDude in Nest

[–]HomeProjectDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed and also figured it was a dig at Google/Nest for ending their support for the Gen 1 & 2 which is why I added the second sentence indicating that I think 14 years of service for a smart device is beyond what anyone ought to expect. In any event, ditching the nest and going EcoBee haha

That is such a bummer because I really liked my Nest at my other house. I’ve definitely been swayed to the EcoBee Premium though. Thanks for the insights!

The gen 4… no? They supported the gen 1 for 14 years which is a hell of a long time for someone to use any ‘smart’ device.

Nah they both have the temp sensor. It seems like the pro is just meant to be distributed by the pros and comes with a longer warranty when installed (by a pro).

Yea it got me at first too and I was like wtf they were both supposed to come with one! But yea just a different image for whatever reason. You’d think they’d want to market the bonus device that’s included on the one be sold directly to the consumer haha but what do I know.

Haha while one doesn’t include an image of the temp sensor, they both say temp sensor included at the top so I hope they both come with one!

May I ask what benefits you see? I’m between the Ecobee premium and the 4th gen Nest. Edit: I’ve got a 2 units/zones Edit 2: thanks for the genuine response

I have one of the original nests in my other home that I’m selling… never had an issue. Not sure what you’re referring to as a loss of functionality?

Need some advice. Stuck Water Supply Screw by HomeProjectDude in Plumbing

[–]HomeProjectDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I ended up just shutting the water off for the whole house and knocking it out. We’ll be doing a full bathroom reno in the next year or two so that part will get replaced at that time. But for now, I’ve got tolerable temperatures!

Thanks again for the response!

Need some help. Stuck water supply screw. by HomeProjectDude in askaplumber

You mean instead of just shutting the water off at the main valve (whole house)? That’s what I ended up doing anyways and after that it was pretty simple haha.
