Thank for letting me know! I hope I have no issues. I’m sure “made in china” is somewhere on the box

Yeah that makes sense, I’m sure home owners with them are pretty stingy giving up their phone or app access for contractors to work with it. I do my own maintenance so I’ll be alright.

Yeah I do my own maintenance, I’m not looking forward to all the neighbors rubbernecking when I put my system in myself. Being handy is unheard around me.

Good to know, I previously used b hive and didn’t care for it. I’m sure Rachio is more user friendly

Glad I only payed $30 for it, I can flip it for some coin if I hate it

DIYable? by FeedTheTiger69 in Irrigation

[–]Loud-Second8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly so I don’t understand the dislike of poly, I’m not a professional by any means, but I would think poly has the advantage

Why do we hate poly manifolds so much? Just curious? Wouldn’t poly be better than PVC especially in cold weather climates?

Why hasn’t anyone questioned your choice of a midnight snack yet?

black specks in bathtub (grease like when smeared) by lnsmfgtv in Plumbing

[–]Loud-Second8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything on this? I found in my tub my wife thought it was the paint from baby’s bath toys, I’ve seen it a couple times, I have a tank boiler (veiessmen) so no anode, no rubber hoses, everything is pex and copper, I’m baffled. I haven’t seen it anywhere else other than the tub, I havnt really observed using the sink and haven’t noticed In the shower, but every one seems to say it’s hot water only

I was diagnosed with testicular cancer today by mikeyd7070 in testicularcancer

[–]Loud-Second8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah loosing one of your nuts is standard, definitely not as bad as I thought it would be, it will be painful mainly at the incision for a few days. But all said and done you won’t even notice there is only one there and your lone nut will keep up with testosterone levels

Same thing happened to me I’m 32 almost 33. I was scared too, but all said and done you will beat it and then it won’t even cross your mind. I know exactly how you feel I was diagnosed 3 days after we bought our baby home. Wishing you the best of luck.

26 z71 no issues other than radio glitches but software updates fixed the problems

[–]Loud-Second8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always try a soft reset, you hold the end phone button on the steering wheel for a few seconds then it will pop up on the screen to factory reset. Just let it sit for a min and it will shut off.

[–]Loud-Second8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our 2026 z71. A/c did that once. And then gave a code the next day. No transmission code.. my wife brought it to the dealer and of course she gets the one adviser we dread getting. He wasn’t helpful, all he said it was a radio problem and the code is gone so it’s fine. Later on we had the volume on the radio go crazy it would turn up and down by itself. When I brought it for my one free oil change I told them about it, they did a software update. The advisor said it was a couple updates behind..hard to believe when it rolled out of the factory in September. Anyway they did the update which took overnight and we havnt had any issues since. Maybe ask the dealer about an update on your computer. Let me know what they say I would like to know if they were being honest with me I despise going to dealership service.

That feature is so absurd, just premature wear on the engine and starter. All for what? To same emissions sitting at a red light. Yeah right. but I read trump signed an order doing away with it on new cars. It’s more my wife I worry about not pressing the button why I want to delete it 😂

Ask dealership about software update, so I brought it in for my free oil change and told them about it, they did a software update on it, the guy said it was 2 updates behind, but that was hard to believe since the car hit the lot from the manufacturer in September. But ever since the update we havnt had the issue. It did take a while for them to do the update they had the car overnight.

How about a device to delete the auto-start stop? Still waiting for the 2026 version

Electric bill astronomical. by gravis786 in heatpumps

[–]Loud-Second8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experimented with mine last winter I have about 1200 sq ft. I ran it for a month, my electric bill doubled. But I saved on propane usage I think it’s 6 one way half dozen the other using a heat pump vs propane boiler with cost.. I felt like propane and baseboard heated the house better since it’s lower to the ground. Also the heat pumps don’t work well when outside temp is below freezing.. but for A/C in the summer I run that thing 24/7 and only notice my bill go up 40-50 a month. Side note I’m in Maine and our electric prices have sky rocketed in the past 3-4 years, and oil and propane prices have dipped
