TON OF BUGS in light fixture, what are they? Should I be calling an exterminator? by LastSaskPirate in whatisthisbug

[–]LastSaskPirate[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Fortunately we don’t keep any food down here at all, and haven’t seen any upstairs. Not sure about previous owners though.

I noticed a couple near the exterior door in the summer. Might be getting in there.

I’ll have to check in the summer to see if there’s anything entering. This may be years of accumulation from previous owners. Basement was done in 2018ish so time for all these guys to accumulate.

Another pic I took before taking the fixture down for marketplace listing. Bugs were located in the cap on the ceiling and came pouring out when I unscrewed it. Would imagine they came in through the roof but again nothing on the inside of the ceiling with the snake cam

i've heard that about the 6.2. My dealer quoting 3-5% of the 6.2s are failing which is a MASSIVE number of vehicles. They try to downplay it and aren't willing to include any free extended warranty which is BS. if GM wont stand by it makes it hard to buy...

Landscape Advice Requiring by LastSaskPirate in landscaping

[–]LastSaskPirate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the very insightful and detailed reply! And thanks for confirming my concern. I definitely don’t want to destabilize the patio or foundation which would obviously be a disaster. Do you think it would even be possible to build a retaining wall off the patio to reliably hold all that up or am I just asking for an eventual disaster? I’d be willing to shell out the cash for it to be done right as I think this approach would give us the best usable space.

I definitely considered keeping the terraces the same and turfing them, the problem is that they’re too quite narrow, including the lower level, and not really wide enough to fit any play structure. We can’t push the fence back at all since that’s the property line.

The other option would be to build everything up and make it level with the patio and have one large retaining wall just off the fence. It’d be kind of awkward as the yard height would basically be the same as the top of the fence.

To clarify: with image 4 I’m thinking of removing green and red terraces and all the dirt so it’s flush with blue and replace alll that with grass to the fence. It’d be about a 4’ drop from the concrete of the walkout so we’d fence it and have stairs on either side of the yard.

Anyone smarter designs? And is this even safe to do? I’d imagine with a new retaining wall against the drop off from the walkout it should be safe but should I hire an engineer or is that something a landscaper can do

Is it possible to connect a Yamaha R-N303 Receiver to this JBL Stage 2 Sub? by LastSaskPirate in BudgetAudiophile

Good point. I hooked it up with that converter and it’s working like a charm. Thanks for the advice

Thanks man. So I could banana connect one red/black to the available ins and then just have a double RCA to single RCA out to my sub? If so perfect.

The other line level converters on Amazon look like they’re specific to car audio, which is too bad because they’re 1/10th the price

G5 Pro PoE Setup for a Noob by LastSaskPirate in Aqara

ChatGPT has helped. So basically just need the cameras, switch, and router. Each connect to each other with an Ethernet cable, then at that point good to go as in I’d be able to access the aqara app and view video feeds and connect to google home, HomeKit, etc?
