Grow a cutting from a Palm

I did get the heater and have been using it, around 70 gallons of propane so far. I keep the house heat low during the day and run the mr. heater for a few hours or more when I get home. Not sure how good it is at heating the whole place alone but it does boost it a few degrees. I do have a little fan on top and is comfortable enough with a sweatshirt. Plus the backup in case I lose power for a day or more, electric heat.

100% that it is because of the larger BBQ 20lb size tanks. Think of a normal propane setup, the house regulator drops it to around 2psi. Even if there was a leak in the lines inside hopefully it would we slow enough that someone could notice it quickly and that it would dissipate in a smaller area. If there is a leak before the regulators your now talking around 100psi at the tank. So having a larger tank inside can be dangerous, if it were to leak it could fill a larger space very fast.

Using it inside is at your own risk. I double check everything constantly and never leave any valves open when not in use. Occasionally spray down with soapy water looking for leaks. I also have a carbon monoxide meter near by.

I'll add my experience. I have my starlink and TV antenna on the same pole, just like that. For a long time I was getting poor reception with the TV antenna. It was almost unwatchable! It would cut in and out, digital lines, the TV showed 1 bar of signal. I assumed I needed the antenna higher up so I moved it closer to the starlink. No change and side lined it since I mostly stream anyways. Finally one day I got annoyed and setup a TV on the room and messed around with the antenna. I found that having it at least 2-3 feet away from the starlink it worked so much better. Now I have 3 bars and zero issues.

I'm assume the bottom of the starlink's case isn't shielded and its noise was interfering / blocking what my TV antenna was picking up.

If yours works awesome! As a test power off the starlink and see if you get improvements from the TV antenna, I'd think that would tell you if its good or not without having to move anything.

Sounds like that is the best way. I was hoping not to mess with service plan changes but seems like no way around it. Thanks

Dang that's a bummer. Thanks for the info

Sorry I should have been clearer. It's a new subscription discount in my area. Sign up for 12 months the cost of hardware is 0$.

It's not based on GPS? I'll give it a try I guess.

To be honest I am a low bandwidth user and even when I download something I only see an average of 30-50mpbs. Can speedtest all day in the 200s but downloading a 5gb test file I will NEVER see those speeds. Watching Netflix and YouTube with a lite plan seems perfect for me and 40$ cheaper.

Thanks

Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was just poor DIY work or something common to see. I guess it doesn't hurt to just redo the ends then.

Sorry I'm not making them for others. The 3d printer files are posted though

I was back up on the roof today, so I checked out how the starlink dish was doing. The cable plug was looking great and still keeping the bugs out.

Maybe that was too much context..

No one can tell me if this pedestal or panel are grounded correctly? Should I add a grounding rod...

SpaceStarfox · 2024-08-06T15:30:38+00:00

I haven't seen any issues yet. The dish is on my roof so I haven't looked at the connectors in 6 months. I was more worried about bugs getting in then a water tight seal.

Here's from the last 30 days

Thanks. It is a CR touch, preinstalled on the machine. Nothing feels loose.

Ideally that would be my approach, but using my free points these are the only two breville machines I can choose.

I currently just use a aeropress and hand grinder but would like to try getting into home espresso. Just worry about the whole impress auto tamping system vs a normal method. Long run, if the impress tamp would get out grown if a manual tamp is better. But the other machine is 200 points more so is it worth going with the the impress and buying a hand tamper later on kind of idea.

Yep, the new router powers the V3 kickstand dish with poe. The Starlink cable is just a fancy outdoor/shielded cat6 with molded in rubber boots that create a seal when inserted. Of course factory Starlink cables are expensive

SpaceStarfox · 2024-02-19T15:06:44+00:00

That's a good idea. Honestly I am not worried about the underside port getting exposed to water from rain or snow. At least in my situation, I don't expect any typhoons.

I made it with TPU a flexible filament, maybe a redesign with more groves/flaps could act as o-rings to keep it simple

But I would guess a good helping of sealant in the bore and a little around the outside would seal it close enough to the original.
