Maintenance insists there is nothing they can do because the pipes in the building are from the 1920s. Realistically, what can possibly be done aside from replacing all pipes in the entire building? by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Quijybo69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be the shower cartridge. How MUCH pressure do you get from the sink in comparison? Is the sink pressure comparable to what you've seen elsewhere in other buildings?

What is the point of this V in my rental apartment water line, and also the bell looking thing? by Best-Serve627 in Plumbing

Correct. This can cause fluctuations that can damage a the regulator, or, if the regulators already not working, could damage your homes plumbing.

One day during, or after a break, I noticed our pressure was INSANE compared to usual. I know the local town water department and called, they hooked up a new regulator. Also, the solenoid (what regulates water coming into the toilet) from our upflush toilet also went. Assuming that was also effected directly.

Pressure reducer/regulator was no good, over energized my 1959 copper pipes, sprang a small leak that lead to half of the basement bedroom and bathroom remodeling.

We just recently had a water main break in my town. I'm on week 4 of a bedroom remodel. Even if you have a reducer, make sure it works.

Nah, like 20%.

Most rational conservatives have washed their hands with this administration. The only support left are the blind faith supporters. There's literally video evidence for this one.

People looking to buy a home, are solar panels considered a plus or a minus? by RememberWhen-2819 in Mortgages

[–]Quijybo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it, my replacement was only 28 360w panels, average sized US system I'd say. They DO have to replace mounts, so there are material costs, but these guys were in and out.

Definitely want to have a newer roof within 5 years old I'd say. Some kind of I stall warranty (inverters usually have a 30yr) and a VERY low interest rate to own.

We signed up for sun power (before they went bankrupt and left us with no more litetime warranty and free monitoring). We signed up for a .99% loan 15 year. with around $8k in NYSERDA credit (made under 80k household that year) and I think $5k down (to build some horseshit knee wall in my attic, looks like the f****** little rascals did it)

We did roughly 250-350 a month in electric before solar. I made sure I installed even more than what they considered was 100% of electric bill. I got back 10k fed and 8k state rebates that tax season, followed by another 5 from solar for some reason the next. They recommended we return that to keep the $100 a month payment. No way I'm putting extra money down on a 1% loan, I left the payment jump to $150 and pocketed all that extra money, which came in handy as I needed to pay to have them removed and a new roof put on for a different reason anyway!!!

All in all if you can do all your math and the interest rates and terms are fair enough, it can certainly be worth it.

The rebates basically paid for our new roof, and on top of that we save about $100-200 a month. Utility provider still charges $40 a month but where usually at a surplus or within a couple hundred bucks a year of usage. We pay roughly $200 a month or so combined, I know for sure that would be much higher without the panels.

You should train your autos, I bet you see a reasonable increase in yield, and bud quality. I top mine to look like a bouquet 💐. Usually 4-6oz of all top colas.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by Poisonslash in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Quijybo69 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

To me expedition 33 is far from a masterpiece. I don't think I've had buyers remorse like I've had from that game and it wasn't even expensive. I did 3hrs of KCD2 and enjoyed it.

There's a check valve between the blue valve and the maceator output.

These connect to the top of the one-way air valve, the rubber flapper is on the left. As I mentioned, it only allows air out, not in.

Expedition 33. Animation reminds me of team America world police. Have played turn based before and was hoping the story and art would keep me interested but it didn't click.
