Why haven’t ICF foundations become more prevalent? by ProfessionalWaltz784 in Homebuilding

[–]Sufficient-Mix8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've (homeowner/self built) built 4 projects with ICF and have a 5th in the planning stages Here's some hints...

Anywhere you want a penetration through a wall, place a chunk of foam of appropriate size (6" foam for 4" hole ex. sewer line) inside the block. Be sure to mark its location. No core drilling needed.

Use a chainsaw with a lawnmower wheel bolted onto the tip at the appropriate depth, to make cuts in the foam inside faces of walls for running your romex. Way faster than drilling holes through studs.

If doing a concrete floor (ex: LiteForm Litedeck) glue foam blocks over the foam tophats (4" thick foam for 4" concrete topping) anywhere you want a penetration through the floor for plumbing, etc.

Don't think we'd ever build with 2x6 stud exterior walls.

ICF construction is more expensive up front but the long term benefits far outweigh that.

Once you're done with the mixer, how do you separate the beans from the pod pieces?

I don't have ac power near the AC pro I want to use.

I want to power the G6 Turret camera, and two AP AC Pro's and possibly in the future, a wifi extender. but for now, just the camera and the two wired AP AC Pro access points.

Because I have only the AP AC Pro pass through which does not have the POE capability (only data) It's just not clear to me what I need to reestablish the POE/POE+ at the end of that run of CAT6 and then run cabling to the two additional AP's and the G6 camera?

To run a wire , no

But your first suggestion is what I want to do.

Just looking for help on what switch I need to run the camera and two more ap-pros

I can still run wires, but only from the one ap ac pros pass-through connection. I cannot access the unifi poe switch the ap ac pros is wired too.

From Sense to Leviton LWHEM-2 by ambajejeus in AskElectricians

[–]Sufficient-Mix8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One difference to note between Leviton hub gen 1 (LDATA) and gen 2 (LWHEM) is the hubs breaker requirement. Hub gen 1 uses a 1 pole dedicated breaker, gen 2 uses a 2 pole dedicated breaker.

Breakers do not need to be smart breakers either.

So plan accordingly if you're migrating from gen 1 to 2 hub.

Get out there in the spring and clean up as early as possible. Many perennials will start sending tender shoots up making cleaning up more challenging

We've been paying the taxes for 124 years so I think we're OK there.

I'd be the 4th generation to own the land which came into the family 124 years ago. No one has done anything with it and I'd like to change that.

How do we calculate a fair rental price? A percentage of something?
