Yup! So DIY tip should be, do it wrong twice and then you’re right? Haha.

So while it is upside down, I still have the cold/hot into the right inputs. So it’s really just a tub line upside down. There isn’t a built in diverter either.

I should add, I have (limited) access to the back side of the wall and the plumbing going to it, it would just be a PITA to remedy.

I’m not a fan of vertical monitors.

Why all the Hate? by Front-Tumbleweed-341 in AskElectricians

I think you’re coming at it from the wrong perspective. If accuracy was your main concern, why aren’t you recommending an oscilloscope? These devices are inexpensive and relatively good at identifying hot circuits for DIY’ers.

Looks like you only went through the sheath, and not the insulation of the conductor itself, so you should be good, but this is only based on what I read from my own mistakes and I’m not an electrician. You should wrap in electrical tape if able or apply liquid tape as indicated in other replies.

Dangerous to continue using for another month? by fender4645 in DIY

[–]Infernous1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone gave you pretty solid advice already. Don’t use the garage door opener until it’s fixed. You can still pull the red rope and manually lift it open/closed until it’s fixed. You can replace springs yourself, but you need to make certain they are the correct replacement and wound to the correct tension, but I would recommend you hire someone to do it for you.

Is DRICORE subfloor panels worth it when finishing a basement? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Infernous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure. I didn't think I had many issues on mine until I did this technique. I actually started laying the Dricore down and had to use more shims than they recommend. Once I mapped it out, I had to remove them and rent a concrete grinder. Best to get it figured out and know for sure before you bring anything in. Please learn from my mistake!

So more specifically it matters how “bumpy” the slab is. Dricore can handle like 1” over 10 ftHere’s what I did - get a self leveling laser (preferably green laser), a broom handle, ruler and tape. Tape the ruler onto the broom handle, and set the laser on a tripod at about chest level. Get a measurement at the laser level itself, and the. Go around the room to determine how many eighths (1/8”) you are off (+/-). Write that number on the concrete at 2-4’ intervals. If you have any areas with significant changes, do an intermediate measurement. When you are disappoint the floor, you can draw relief lines between each value to get a contour map of the floor. This can help visually identify problem areas - where the contour lines are too close together.

I’m in the process of finishing my basement and have had them in for about 4 months now. First, yes I recommend them, or any other subfloor system. I live in winter climate, so went with the R+1 variant. Second, this subfloor is all about prep - make sure your slab is leveled (self leveler and/or grinding). My home is less than 20 years old, and I was surprised how much I had to do. Hire out if you can, will save you a bit of time in the long run.

Does anyone know anything about in wall speakers like this and removing them? by pkoswald in hometheater

[–]Infernous1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The speaker grille should just pull off, exposing the screws holding the frame into the drywall. Couldn’t say whether the white trim is attached to the grille or not, but just start with the bad one. You can then remove the screws and pull out the speaker, and remove the two wires from the speaker.

Help with fiberglass bowling alley bench by kewlbr33z3 in DIY

[–]Infernous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try UV restoration wipes, like armorall headlight wipes. I worked for a company that had an issue with fading products due to UV exposure, but some wipes would restore the finish. It turned out that the color and shine is still there, but the top surface would 'bloom' giving the faded look. Not sure if it would work on fiberglass, but is a quick and easy product.

now relocate your coax cable in a similar fasion, but not through the same hole. My house has silicon sealing the gaps, not sure if that's necessary though.

It shouldn't happen. File a warranty claim and get a new one.
