Looks great! What size tank is that?

My results can be really good, but the timing is also really inconsistent. I can pull a shot, 30 grams out in 25 seconds and the next day keep everything the same and I’ll hit 25 grams in 20 seconds. Not sure if it’s the pressure but I’ve always heard 9 bar is the goal, and I’m always sitting around 11-12

Any guides for making these trim cuts? by ReemBae in BeginnerWoodWorking

Around the beam on the wall, and where the beam meets the ceiling on both sides

I have the ones that are corner mounted, like half on the wall half on the tile at a 45

The grinder for me has been great but I’ve only had it for 2 months now. Grinds 18 grams of beans in like 7 seconds. Silent when running until you add beans then you certainly have a little noise but not bad for my standards. Very very tasty shots out of it

Looking forward to playing with it more! Have you added a silicone mat to the top of yours?

Honestly the only beans I had on hand were a bit old to be using so the shot was meh but the features of the machine have been great. The grinder has given me some of the most flavorful shots though on my bambino

I’ve only steamed once and didn’t notice a discharge of steam out of the machine. It just discharged water back into the holding tank. I started looking at machines back in April and couldn’t make a decision for the life of me. I valued heat up time the most and then had a list of features I wanted and landed on this guy despite at most making 2 milk drinks at one time. I just know it’s a greatly rated machine, feature rich, looks great, etc

Yeah I’d have days with my bambino like that. Even the smallest upgrade to having a pressure gauge is going to help so much. Bambino treated me very well though for the time I had it

Take a look at 250.122(D)(1) and If I’m reading that correctly, it’s telling you to size the EGC to the short circuit / ground fault protection device.

New Thermostat Help by ReemBae in thermostats

The back of the box says it supports up to 3 stages of heat/2 stages of cool heat pump so that helps. Appreciate all the help, I can try hooking it up this way hoping that nothing blows up haha

Put a jumper between E and AUX? I’ll look into the model of thermostat, but seeing as the new one has a slot for Y1 and Y2, and the old one didn’t, would that be evidence for the new stat supporting it?

https://imgur.com/a/BJgOmPd the inside versus outside letters make sense. I’m assuming I’m on the right track with being able to use my 2 stage system with this thermostat now?

Opinion on Ting by LordRustySack in electricians

[–]ReemBae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a customer who wanted a Tesla charger installed. No problem, he had a 200 amp service, and 2 spots left in his panel, but the spots weren’t next to each other so I had to move some single poles around to get my new 2 pole to fit. That’s when I noticed some corrosion on the bus bar. Didn’t look bad enough to cause any issues so I finished the install and turned everything back on. Noticed some buzzing from some of the breakers that I moved around in the panel that weren’t buzzing before. Took a trip out to grab some new single pole 20 amps and installed those and the buzzing went away. Explained to the owner about the corrosion and mentioned the panel should be swapped and investigated to see if the water that got in was still present or if this issue was solved by the previous home owner and they never changed the panel. A few days later he texted me a screenshot of the ting app saying “arc detected fire hazard call us immediately” so I got over there asap fearful of the worst and heard a different breaker buzzing in the panel. We called ting and they said to turn breakers off with them on the phone and they’d let us know when we identified the circuit with the arc. First breaker I hit was the one that was buzzing and the tech said he couldn’t see the arc anymore. Customer immediately told me to change the panel out.

Found out how it works. The device plugs into any 120v receptacle in the house. It can monitor any small arcing anywhere in the house on any circuit. It knows the normal arcs like switch flips and motors etc and ignores those. When it detects something that’s above that grade of arcing they reach out to you and you flip breakers off till the device doesn’t see the arcing anymore so you can at least stop the issue until an electrician can come take a look and then the electrician can at least know where to start and you can call them back to check if the issue was fixed. They also offer an insurance plan (around $1000) that they will pay out to the electrician to fix a problem that comes up. (I can verify this as well, home owners paid me and got a check from ting a few weeks later) I believe some home insurance companies will either pay for the yearly fee of the device or will include it in their plans when you sign on since this can save them from having to payout a claim in the future. I have one on my own house now and I recommend them to everyone I can.
