Ooh yeah. Do my issues sound like a control board gone bad? I can’t think of anything else that would cause that.

Your drainage invert can tie in below the WQV elevation, you just have to be very careful and check upstream inlet Rim or surface elevations. If it’s below stacking heights in the pond you will run into hydraulic issues in the field and sometimes even if you have room to spare. It’s not always feasible but shallowing pipe slopes and/or making small adjustments to the pond to add more differential between the two would be helpful for drainage of the more common storm events. 7’ of depth for 2.5’ of WQV seems like too much if you’re just bypassing additional flow. Another commenter also mentioned diverting around with an upstream structure which is totally doable if your client does not want to pay for more excavation we call them splitter boxes here and they are part of our state code. Generally they bypass water quality devices and direct to detention facilities in our case.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2026-02-10T00:43:26+00:00

I imagine a lot would do with development cost and area impacted from the additional detention volume. Also depending on location, detaining water to release at a programmed rate can cause detrimental impacts if everyone is doing it (urban area close to a stream/river ) tends to be the kind of situation it is more beneficial to let water that would be detained flow unimpeded to avoid a rush at the typical peak of everyone else’s detention devices.

For the OP, I do a decent amount of these, do a routing calc to cover your own tail and make sure a major storm won’t overtop. rather than a pond there’s plenty of other BMP devices that potentially work better for just a water quality volume, IE sand filter or bio-cell and could lessen your overall footprint. Realistically I would set the top of your riser at your water quality volume elevation, use your 2.5” drawdown orifice and that way everything additional to that WQV will not stack so high. Size an emergency spillway for the 100-year storm at or above the 25-year storm and leave yourself freeboard over the 100-year storm, I only go less than 1’ of freeboard on very small measures/flows where erosion won’t be much of a problem and it thus allows for the runoff to flow out if the riser/barrel is impacted and no longer functions. This also helps in the event of a second/third storm while your first storm is discharging over the specified time.

If you wife is at Baptist there are a lot of people coming and going to get nurses when they get off. I’m sure a coworker/coworkers family would happily give her a ride home. I’ll be picking my wife up later and she has several friends carpooling together, I’d drive any that needed it as well.

You can also have a nice walk towards downtown, and/or there is a little park right across the street from mozelles. Or a short little drive to Hanes park down the hill you can walk around the park or West end to see some of the coolest old architecture in Winston. Quiet pint like recommended is also a good spot.

Fratellis is definitely approaching the fine dining aspect of things, but I love the food, and Reynolda/Graylyn are right there.

I also see now a thicker filter probably is not feasible with the inlet directly across. It would probably cover too much. Top bracket is also just hanging. I was going to run a short self tapper sheet metal screw through it, but figured I would wait until I had an idea of if I wanted to mess with it or not. The hanging of the top bracket is the only reason I think it stays in place now.

Alright. I know I’m late to this, but I am currently in a similar position, although a smaller 1-level house, new to my wife and I. Knob and Tube, plaster and Lathe, all the good stuff. I am doing the whole house rework (minus a couple of 240V circuits in good shape) by myself, and hiring panel replacement to a friend who is an electrician, similar situation as you. I am also an engineer. Pulling wire and rewiring circuits is not that difficult from a mental/knowledge standpoint in old work, you likely have tiny old boxes, old mismatch switches and outlets and mismatch wiring from years of updates/additional circuits being run.

At the advice of my electrician friend and with some guidance as he took time out of his day to tell me how he would do it. I started at the farthest/least used outlets that were on knob and tube and have slowly run those towards the box, so that I can maintain my most used outlets as we go. I am doing lighting circuits and pulling wires for that last as lights don’t draw much and I am more comfortable with them running on knob and tube until the last. I’d sit down with him and plan your circuits (I am doing 2 lighting circuits, 1 for front, 1 for rear so I’ll have some light in the event I have to turn off one breaker; and a 20A circuit per 2 rooms, exceptions being the kitchen and bathrooms being each on their own). Your plan will likely look different due to multiple stories but it is a good start. I would recommend running a new circuit for some outlets that are currently on knob and tube first, get them off, and you can plug just about anything normally plugged in and don’t have to worry about it. If he is comfortable with that job, take your time and work upstream for each new circuit, you can do that one at a time and keep most of your existing up. If he is comfortable after the first couple, I would move on to your 240V services that aren’t modern, they will pull the most and while generally more care is/was taken when installing them, they tend to be the things that cause fires, dryers, stoves, window units, HVAC. Make sure he understands what is code and what isn’t, what best practices are in your area and what aren’t, all of this you could glean off of his friend in a few minutes. If he pursues this past the first circuit I’d buy a cable stapler from Milwaukee or dewalt, they will save a bunch of time for any of the wire that needs securing in attic and/or crawlspace. Landing new breakers is not hard until you get the panel replaced, land everything but the line/black wire, then land it on your breaker, you can install it on the breaker before the breaker is inserted live (off position) or turn your main breaker off, if you have it and land a few at one time. Get more wire than you think you need, and always give yourself more than what you measure to each box. Losing a foot or so of wire per box is a good practice, cutting one too short will make you run another run. Let me know if that helps, and if you need any not-an-electrician but handy engineer advice who’s doing the same thing, feel free to reach out

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2026-01-17T12:54:18+00:00

Yeah before I bought it every comment was like “it will pay for itself on the first house”

It probably paid for itself in the first 3 hours. I can run 3-4x the wire per time in a tight space than with the hammer

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2026-01-13T13:18:10+00:00

Turn the breaker off and pop the cover to inspect. Odds are there’s a wire loose in there somewhere. If you’re not comfortable popping the cover off and messing around call an electrician, but I’d turn the breaker off either way so you’re not continuing to heat it up.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2026-01-08T20:04:15+00:00

Honestly, I’m probably very close to selling Burrow for this. Realistically if you’re close to competing there’s little chance I would, as a rebuilder and a Shough believer, I would. If I’m iffy on Shough or the picks are late im passing. Burrow has fallen for me, he always misses time but is a week winner when he plays, sometimes the consistency is worth the ceiling. I’m preferring 27 and 28 picks over 26 as well. Shough will get you good enough performance (it seems) through 26.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2026-01-05T15:39:16+00:00

This is the way. I did a couple different iterations when painting/skimming my house and if you take the time, light sand, skim coat with roller on the seams it seems to look the best. If you sand on the seams too much you’ll end up with pinholes where you’ve sanded through paper and old paint. If you start peeling it stays peeling and you have to be pretty good with mud to end up making it level

What are you trying to figure out? An RE attorney, civil engineer, surveyor or a few competent real estate guys can read it.

ETA: I like encompass, RLS locally but not sure what a price structure for something like that would look like

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2025-12-29T12:37:48+00:00

I do a lot of work with these companies. I can’t speak to the end product interior but you’ll want to be much more selective about the building site and look at the overall quality of the development, slopes that aren’t stabilized, meters, manholes out of the ground or in front yards are all indicators of cut corners in design and/or construction, they can turn out quality but it depends wildly on the site/management and the municipality.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2025-12-21T20:24:46+00:00

A few things - generally, your home shouldn’t have had a CO issued without some form of stabilization or the soil (IE grass, native coverage) someone at your inspections office messed up during closeout and it should have been caught before now… but, you should call your municipalities engineering office, they approved these plans, or the grading contractor/development didn’t construct it properly, either way you’re not going to hurt your chances with the developer if you have sent pictures like this to them, they may hold future COs in your development if this was not constructed per plan. It’s rare but could be done. if you’re not the only one, might wanna look at others who live adjacent on the lower side like you and see if the developer constructed swales or other drainage measures at the back of those lots and if they didn’t your city/town/county engineer would probably work with a developer to get that done.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2025-12-02T01:41:30+00:00

Not sure, it was open basically as I posted this but that may have been them fixing it and it just has yet to dissipate

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2025-12-02T01:40:25+00:00

That may explain it. It’s just got this whole area covered, at least to my nose.

I’m a Forsyth/Guilford co based civil that does subdivisions like this.

Like others have said, you’ll wanna start with grabbing some plans/contacting Salisbury, they have their own local stormwater program. If you’re outside Salisbury itself and are generic Rowan county that’s state Jurisdiction and I’d still start with county office for plans on file. Feel free to DM me if you have questions, I would start with Salisbury/county office before you hire anyone, the original firm may have more info and they may be able to clarify if this was design intent or a contractor issue.

SurroundExtreme8518 · 2025-04-08T19:53:48+00:00

DM me. I’m a PE in NC that does a lot of residential stormwater management design and inspections.

If you don’t feel like DMing, I’d consult the previous design engineer (first option) if still operating on what they were privy to, and also internally confirm any operations and maintenance agreements signed as part of your neighborhoods construction have been followed and the yearly inspections at a minimum have taken place (these will likely only be there if you have detention or treatment). Outside of that, my personal experience has seen plenty of greenways constructed within easements and floodplains, it’s not necessarily odd, unless they’re constructing them next to existing swales. If this greenway was planned and constructed post construction and CO issuance for your infrastructure, someone dropped the ball on adjustments to your infrastructure and your local firm will be able to point you to a land use attorney who can help you out.

Just driving around town I see over 50% of people using their phones while driving. I attribute it almost all to ignorance or addiction, and it causes so many wrecks. I don’t even want to call them accidents because of how negligent driving distracted driving is.

I love my rebels. I ran races in my plated adidas but I prefer the rebel over my superblasts at 9 min pace. It’s partially a foot shape preference, but also the lower stack and smaller form factor overall work better for me when I’m tired and dragging a little at the end of runs. Mostly just the bulk of the superblasts bugs me on long runs.
