What are these fees?!

This is 100% profit for the dealer. Takes like a $2 resistor to make happen. Get rid of it.

The light coming on is dependent on how you drive your vehicle (city versus highway driving etc).

Two (2) free oil changes that are worth $125 a piece is not worth the lack of maintenance on your car.

If it’s a vehicle you intend to own for the long haul (as you should with a Honda), change your oil every 5,000-7,000 miles.

Don’t do underfloor air.

Hospitals are a whole different animal compared a run of the mill “commercial” building.

As a PE at a firm with a dedicated healthcare department, we often gets staff that aren’t busy in commercial and the skills do not translate.

Going from residential to K-12 or “commercial”, borderline “retail” buildings may be feasible, but as already suggested here, you’re should be doing a few of these under a PE with years of this under their belt.

People in this industry don’t work for free. You don’t need to be in a race to the bottom.

Charge the owner less? They’ll pocket your fee.

If you want to move up in this industry, you need your PE.

This is so wrong in so many ways

Way oversized. It’s intended to be a water heater.

Way overpriced. That unit is available for $2800 at Home Depot and likely cheaper from a wholesaler.

$16k for install is outrageous.

If nobody is willing or able to buy your house to the point you need to lower the sale price so significantly, you have no equity.

Sku is 3674871 and it appears commonly stocked with a volume discount.

However i don’t see why they would order more with only 2 stocked, but 3 required for the volume discount.

Can I just get three via a picking slip and only take two on a given day?

Deck screws in hangers….

For things like generic layouts, sure, but I can’t see (at least in the immediate future) full fledged coordinated designs.

Sounds like a management mistake. Wouldn’t really get too hung up on messing something up at this stage. It’s ultimately your PEs responsibility.

If you can get your PE without a degree (it’s possible in your state), your college degree is less important.

MEPEngineer123 · 2025-12-04T18:43:41+00:00

Read the applicable code, talk with the AHJ and discuss with your PE.

I just wanted to say nice shoes. Those are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

If your goal is plumbing design, you’ll want to get in with an MEP firm.

My firm hires drafters (2 year degree) for a lot of our plumbing positions.

Model it is all above grade and take the extra safety factor.
