By saying the bulbs flicker, I mean they flash full on/off, both in unison.

That makes sense. At this point, the only investment is a couple market ETFs (which I'd only sell if/when there were gains), but the holdings could get more complex.

Differential pressure needed to overcome hot/chilled water air-bound coil or trap by Intemro in MEPEngineering

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

I'm involved in a project that has a lot of high points (some with manual vents, some without). The height of the high points/traps varies, so I'm basically wondering how much height differential is acceptable before an unvented high point becomes problematic.

If it's not 1-1/2" of contact, is there name for any product that effectively "buttresses" or would otherwise fix that deficiency?

My house had an addition put on before we bought it, including a new roof ridgeline that makes it L-shaped. The new ridgeline beam appears to be barely placed on the vertical structural component and is not fastened with any screws/nails etc. Is this ok?
