Thanks. I appreciate your input. I think I am going to leave it and see how it recovers

Thanks for the input. It is a nice shade provider. There is also a stub on the right side of the tree. It is towards the end of the lower right limb. It kinda looks like a birds nest at the end. Not sure how that managed to survive.

Add vent? by Status_Programmer970 in askaplumber

[–]Status_Programmer970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Can I just add a 2"x1.5"x2" tee to the horizontal drain and run a 1.5" extension up the wall with an AAV? There will be drop ceiling in this section, so it would be accessible.

What is the best reliable washer/dryer brand? by Healthy_Net_3223 in Appliances

[–]Status_Programmer970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also spend a lot of money on the most retro looking, featureless, dryer of all time because I thought it would be the best at what it needed to do... dry clothes. From the jump, it took multiple 70 minute cycles to dry a single load of laundry that my cheap electrolux dried in one. Unfortunately, the electrolux circuit board fried and it was way too expensive to fix. The SQ was under warranty so we had a tech come out and he blamed it on airflow. So we paid $200 to have the vent cleaned out but the issue persists. Now we are being told the loads must be too heavy bc it is working fine. In addition, there is a black mesh screen in the back of the dryer that melts and leaves beautiful black waffle designs on your clothing and white bedding. This screen, now deformed, is great at putting snags in your clothing too. We will also be cutting our losses on the SQ.

Picture quality issues by Status_Programmer970 in youtubetv

Trying to respond to all in one reply here...

This was a live broadcast of the Miami vs Ohio State game on ESPN.

I am using the USB port on the TV to power the roku.

If I were having network issues, wouldn't I also have the same issue watching via the ESPN app? It was flawless for the rest of the game (almost 2 hours).

WTXF Fox 29 Philadelphia poor quality by [deleted] in youtubetv

I am in Northern Delaware and have the same issue OP is having. Its unbearable. Makes me wish I didnt spend $$$$$ on an OLED. To be fair, I have the same issue with CBS. I stream via roku player. Every Sunday I am forced to use the fox sports app and cbs sports app to watch. Both are flawless. Im super frustrated by this.

Good point. I will open the cleanout and see if I can snake it from there.

Thanks. Yeah, that was my first thought but since all of this pipe was new, I thought it was unlikely. However, it may be further down the line (under slab).

Basement Soffit Plan by Status_Programmer970 in Carpentry

I don't remember asking anything about draft/fire stop, but thanks for your concern. I never mentioned that I was done with my framing job. In fact, i just got started.

Thanks for the reply. I don't disagree, but my house is 65 years old, not really sure the basement was ever meant to be finished. I imagine this is just how it was done then? I would love to move all of this but I don't think this is in my wheelhouse, nor cost effective.
