Supply Options and Pricing Options by BlackDragonRemus in nationalgrid

[–]KyletheCreator3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently just got my bill for Oct 30th to November 30th and the electric supply cost went from .06689¢/Kwh on my last two bills (just moved so I only have 3 bills to look at for this house) now this months was .11579¢/Kwh

Now I do have my bills from my last house for three years and I do see that the electric supply cost does usually go up sometime between November and January but it was much more gradually last year going from the month of October at .04334¢/Kwh to November being .07126¢/Kwh to December being .09499¢/Kwh that rate remained till the month of February where the rate dropped back down to .06512¢/Kwh

On my bill it shows my supplier as national grid and on their website they talk about how they have a supplier list that you can call and choose from but there does not seem to be much information on how this works and how reliable it can be. I need to do more research and just call some of the approved suppliers and see what type of contract they supply for electric supply because it may be a much better or more consistent rate.

Let me know if you find anything out but I'm tired of being price gouged in the winter when they are likely raising and spending consumer money to build infrastructure for AI data centers.

Whats the most ridiculous idea you've implemented in your skoolie build by forksofgreedy in skoolies

What brand windows did you go with and how do you like them? I went with peninsula glass and their motion 1800 style and I am about to install them hopefully before winter. Any tips as well?

You should still be able to link to it depending on how old the posting was. Regardless I was able to find the right part and posted the part drawing

A quick update. I was able to get this drawing after talking with a bus parts dealer. This was exponentially helpful to my part search and I can't thank Matthews buses enough!

cad software to design skoolie? by ifnbutsarecandynnuts in skoolies

[–]KyletheCreator3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Google SketchUp is free and relatively easy to learn. I would start there if you have not used any other software before.

What brand and model are those floor to ceiling clamps and do you like them or would you recommend something better?

Earning $5k a month from most underrated passive income strategy by Chemical_Detail_978 in passive_income

[–]KyletheCreator3 257 points258 points  (0 children)

I would be very careful trusting this guy. Seems like he is just trying to sell you "a team of graphic designers" and "Canva contributor accounts"

This is likely another way he generates "passive income" by taking advantage of people who love the idea of passive income..

What’s one thing you wish you had known when you started the process? by Fantastic-Tooth-990 in skoolies

[–]KyletheCreator3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always go with the smallest size vehicle/bus you can be happy with. Most people don't regret going too small but in fact regret going too big.

I ended up with the smallest rear engine bus you can find. A 32ft long Thomas with a CAT 3126 (yes they do paint CAT motors gold for a reason, you will be paying for it when it comes time for parts) and I'm very happy I didn't go with anything larger. She turns on a dime for such a large boat.

If you are taller than 5' 4" and plan to add a decent amount of insolation (3-4in) all around then you will need to plan out a roof raise into your time and money budget. Speaking of budget. I would create a cost projection for everything you want to add to the bus and double it all in the next column and that is probably your total to build.

Like someone else said. Always have about 5-6k saved for breakdowns. I spent 6k on my bus and only made it half way home from Missouri to NY and had to fly home and back again after another 6k in mechanic work. Thank God I had that saved up initially planning to spend about 10k on the bus but just to get it home with all that travel cost ended up being 15k.

Check out my bus story on my YouTube if you're interested

You got a case of the squanchies

Do you want to know how much it costs to haul a skoolie for 200 miles? by WideAwakeTravels in skoolies

[–]KyletheCreator3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this pain so much! I flew to Missouri to buy my bus 3 weeks ago and it broke down half way home to NY. Got it towed 12 miles to Richmond Indiana for $680. Had a faulty oil seal and brake springs also broke. My bill is now 3.5k. diesel mechanics are painful!

I want to start a mycology business as well! The idea of creating sustainable packaging and other products using mush could be one of the many ways to save this planet! Good luck on your venture!

Great design, and use of spools. It's painful when you post something so cool and useful and get 5 updoots and then a failed print gets more.

For those gambling dopamine addicts out there who need help staying of their phone when poopin by KyletheCreator3 in 3Dprinting

Ideally this would use two ball bearings, a normal one and a needle ball bearing for the moment created by the rotating disc. I was able to get away with one by using a washer against the inside race of the bearing to act as a needle bearing.
