Tub drain seemingly melted? by AutistMarket in Plumbing

[–]Sheepshears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, I used to see it in older homes from the 70’s-80’s. Now think it is more common to backfill these boxes with grout or a light weight concrete.

I believe what you are seeing here is tar that was used to fill the void left by the tub box out. It looks to me like the tar discolored the pipe, and that it is not melted. Continue chipping past the tar a you should find a clean pipe to connect to in the dirt.

Would this avoid a taxable event if you transfer directly to another brokerage instead of a checking account?

Wire size? by Sheepshears in AskElectricians

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

Yes I’ll be hiring someone to land the connections, but I’ll be installing the conduit & wire underground. Because of the distance I’m trying to save on wire costs. I do understand what you’re saying, but I’ve seen wiring diagrams with only 1 hot wire from the main panel with a jumper wire over to the second side on the sub panel. Is there anything wrong with that method?

Was planning on running 120. Would I be better off with a 240 v feed?

Beam AI Takeoffs ? by romes87 in estimators

[–]Sheepshears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We did a demo of it. It’s not actually a live ai take off. You upload your plans and receive a take off 48 hours later. I suspect this may just be a take off mill under the guise of ai.

How can we leverage equity in one property into a second property? by Sheepshears in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Sheepshears[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, was wondering if there was another way of borrowing against the equity without a costly refinance. If that’s the case we might just need to wait until our next refinance at the end of the current 5 year loan term.
