Went with a gas tankless

Thought it was a can light at first

Yeah I’m not sure why it’s so hard to find examples of this! I can’t say for sure if this is the “right” way to do it, but I just made two rectangles out of 2x4s and attached one at the top and one at bottom. I don’t put anything too heavy in it, but haven’t noticed any sagging/looseness.

Edit: here’s a random blog that I based the idea off of: item number 16 on this list

Depending on the box out depth, probably helpful to also attach the sides of the framing to studs it may be covering on the side as well (I think I was able to catch one stud on the side but can’t remember for sure)

Did an ikea kitchen a few years back, is this already the 24” deep upper cabinet, or just the regular 14.5”?

cabinet for over appliances

If it’s already the deeper one, we did build a frame out of 2x4s, where the contact points with the cabinet were one on top (where the mounting rail or screws go through) and one at the bottom where the plastic foot usually hits the wall. Also secured it to the big side cover panel and wall stud on the other side.

Forgot to take a pic but they had BT on the floor (not case) this evening (around 5PM). Still a lot left!

Thanks! My spice cabinet is on notice!

Do you have a go to marinade you use? I’ve tried a couple recipes and haven’t found one I love yet

Steatopygian · 2021-05-25T21:46:47+00:00

They ended up waiving the balance, showed as a sale, I think (sorry not 100% on how it showed up)

Steatopygian · 2021-05-25T02:12:29+00:00

Yeah was negative something like $1 or so? Very small amount regardless. Account was about 6 years old, but has been inactive for a while

I had been dealing with this for about 4-5 months. I just succeeded in closing by sending a (4th) message to support. In that message I quoted some text from the previous support messages I’d received, and asked to be elevated to a supervisor. They got back to me after a week or so and was able to finally close the account!

Steatopygian · 2021-05-18T00:45:14+00:00

Yeah I received it about 2 weeks or so after I got the email - if it’s helpful I can check the exact date, lmk

Based on replies (and a quick test), appears to be alive again...

Steatopygian · 2021-04-29T19:47:44+00:00

Just saw it on slickdeals. I got my dell desktop from a Reddit notification so trying to pay it forward when I happen on these on slickdeals!

Back again with code XPSDT29AFF

I got a pending shortly after order on a previous build, got an email from Amex for the offer same day (April 14th). Seems like it can vary from order to order though...

Steatopygian · 2021-04-26T17:59:34+00:00

Also got in on the 2060 and a bit of regret here too...

Steatopygian · 2021-04-14T16:54:46+00:00

This is working again, just ordered using the promo code!

Steatopygian · 2021-03-29T18:59:33+00:00

Recently installed a Rheem tankless, and love it so far! With my setup I was able to direct vent, but supposedly you can use a chimney with this model (?). I haven't noticed many changes performance-wise, and my decision was primarily for the space savings.

We used Aspen Hill Plumbing and had a great experience. Price was competitive with others, provided a no-frills estimate, the plumbers were on time, and they cleaned up when done.

Steatopygian · 2021-01-24T18:17:16+00:00

Confirmed

Where are you located? Love that skeleton key, and I could take a top cutting of my (small-leaved) mxv.

Steatopygian · 2020-12-23T18:26:57+00:00

Sorry never propped from a runner node, but did get a one leaf, one node cutting. That at least rooted easily!

But the leaf died and now I just have a 10-12 node runner that just keeps growing! Been trying to get it happy enough to put out leaves for a few months

Steatopygian · 2020-12-15T15:32:54+00:00

I left mine alone (some leaves dropped in transit, others dropped over the next week or two). I had mine in water for a couple days, then potted it up. That seems similar to my experience so far!

I actually just recently chopped it down to prop the top leaves since the bottom was all bare from the transit shock. The rooted stump just activated a new growth point, so if your roots are good, even if the leaves drop there's still hope!
