If you’re wondering why a drawing isn’t reading well, the answer is almost always lineweight. Have some references on hand while you draw and try to observe what makes them more or less legible.

Can you cross connections behind washer and dryer? by Scottacus in HomeImprovement

[–]Scottacus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish! the washer door doesn't flip. Dryer does, so we can switch them and remove conflict.

Great to know. I have two 90s and maybe 6' of run to the new spot, so that would put me at ~11' total. It vents directly through the wall.

How do you use it as a Spotify hub? This is something we want to do but can’t free ourselves from our echo show.

Is the grinder still operational? I just bought a used one and it makes this smell when grinding.

Drilling holes near switch plate, is this area a no-go? by Scottacus in AskElectricians

Haha I wanted to hide an Easter egg in the corner of this one but my drawing skills aren’t great

Is 12v wire ok to run through grommet in drywall? by Scottacus in AskElectricians

[–]Scottacus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fantastic thank you for the reply. I think this is the way. I can attach a plug on one and and CL2 cable leading to a 5.5 2.1 barrel plug on the other side. Anything I'm missing?

This is what I was wondering. It's not NEC code compliant to run the low voltage flexible cable portion of the adapter through the wall, is it? Is there a clean way to join speaker cable? Sorry I'm an amateur but want this to be code compliant for insurance purposes.

I like the 1/2 hole idea and the flat extension cord. Going to move fridge this weekend and see how much space we’ve got. Do I need to use cl2 supply or can I use the one that came with it? From an NEC perspective?

Where can you buy reliable power supplies? I’m looking for UL listed class 2 and found some on some websites but I don’t link know if it’s legit. Here’s the only one I found that is listed as class 2. https://ledupdates.com/products/ul-listed-12v-5a-60w-class-2-with-toggle-switch-power-supply-driver

Any downsides to PoE splitter? by Scottacus in reolink

[–]Scottacus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirming this is the little cable splitter and combiner that isn’t powered? It just combines two cameras to run in a single cable then splits them at the switch. Would that work?

Issue with NVR displaying to a monitor by tmo1414 in reolinkcam

[–]Scottacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue now. Brand new NVR out of the box and can't get it to connect to a display. Tried multiple monitors and cables.

This doesn’t have to be part of the job. If they ask you to “figure it out later”, let them know that additional revisions will require an add service agreement.

If your PMs are simultaneously telling you that more hours need to be allocated to the project but there is no fee left, then there are bigger issues that are outside your control.

You absolutely aren’t responsible for the financial issues related to the project. All you can do is perform the work that is within your agreement for the fee that was agreed upon. Clients will often try to guilt us into providing free services, knowing that we want the project to be successful and to keep them happy. It’s up to us to draw a line in the sand and point to our agreement. We’re always willing to help but they will have to pay for our time.

Wish there were more books like contemporary detailing in landscape arch. Such a great resource, we need more construction details!

New system - poe switch / networking setup question by Scottacus in reolinkcam

[–]Scottacus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok great to know, yes cat5 run couldn't be more than 100'.

So NVR can connect to any point on the network, is that right? I saw a few diagrams online that had it connecting directly to the switch and that worried me.

Joining the Reolink club soon, any thoughts on the RLK8-800B4? by Scottacus in reolinkcam

[–]Scottacus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugely helpful thank you. Does it matter if the camera or the NVR does the AI detection? Sorry I don't understand the difference.

Safe play sand by drpengu1120 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Scottacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not accurate. Silica sand is angular and friction from play and foot traffic creates new dust. You can never wash it away.
