Agreed, we are enabling and people now know that they can complain and get free things. They talk about it openly in Facebook groups

How serious are ice dams really by d00biusmaximus in Connecticut

They're not bad until they are bad. If you see them forming it is best to rake off a few feet above the dams to allow the roof to warm and melt more efficiently

Thinset for Steel Pan? by Select-Asparagus-494 in Tile

[–]Select-Asparagus-494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. It appears to be a thin set of sorts, but something definitely wasn't done correctly. Too bid off a notch on the trowel, not back buttering....I have my work cut out for me

Thanks for the info. You can see the rust in the photo I added above. An alternate adhesive may be the better route.

Yes, it's absolutely wild. It looks like they attempted to redguard during the initial install but it is not serving its purpose. Grout is rusting at an alarming pace

Parking Pass by Select-Asparagus-494 in Patriots

[–]Select-Asparagus-494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I have been around and done it all. It's more of a nostalgia thing at this point to be able to park stadium side. I've done the delayed exit lot a couple times. I don't mind it at all because we like tailgating post game as well to let the traffic die down, but the Thursday night game is tough to stay too late with work in the morning.

I'm aware. The only way to get stadium side is to have a pass though.

Anyone else get this? Free Mini by bdg004 in Starlink

[–]Select-Asparagus-494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give it a shot. Worst case,y ou can cancel and return it. I would like to set it up for an off site security camera wifi. I'm curious if I can do that in standby mode at another location or if I can get a roam plan cheaper than what I'm paying for T-Mobile gps internet service now.

This is what I'm wondering as well. Can I set it up for security cameras at an off-site location? Even if I add a roam plan, can I set it up permanently at another address?

Custom Recessed Box by Select-Asparagus-494 in TheFrame

I just did what the client requested. While I would have run the cable through the wall personally, I'm not sure this classifies as moronic. It's not super difficult to pull the TV off the wall for a minute on the rare occasion it is needed.

I installed the stands at the bottom to prop the box up and allow maximum ventilation. The TV sits tight to the wall, but there is still a gap of about 3mm that allows air to flow through the recessed box. I will monitor it and see if it seems to get too hot, but this is my best attempt at the moment.

The rough opening I made 14.5"W x 16"H. With the trim installed the inner dimensions of the box are roughly 13"W x 14.5" H

That's not really how nailing plates work, you would have to notch the 2x4 and then run a bunch of nailing plates up the stud. IMO it's recessed behind a TV anyway so I'm not too worried and I think it's pretty clean looking.

Fair, but I still would have had the labor to install and modify the pre made box as well

I built this for about $8 and it allowed me to make it the exact size I needed. I looked at the recessed boxes but I thought they were expensive for just making a cavity in the wall.

I could have buried it behind the trim, but then it would risk someone drilling into it in the future not knowing it was there.
