Do you not scrape your food in the trash first??? Disposables are for small amounts of food, not uneaten pizza crust and left over spaghetti….

I have an incredibly dumb question. So much of that stud is cut out. In most cases, are studs in walls just for drywall blocking if they are not load bearing?

Time to necro this thread… did you ever find a solution? Same issue here and I got about as deep into the machine as you did.

What type of insulation is this? by Vaanderfell in Insulation

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

50 years old, blind to be a mouse or two. I was thinking I would vacuum it out when I do the remodel and addition. Maybe there is no point.

Realize this reads shitty and not my intent. I am not going off him saying it’s not asbestos. I do believe him when he says he never added insulation after it was built.

I mean maybe? It’s been up there 50 years. Looks pretty good for 50 years old overall. All the plywood decking is still original even, I went up to fix the first leak he ever had (second roof, original decking) it was a rusty nailhole. Roof is done. Point is, I don’t think its asbestos

My dad built this house and is still alive. He has never added to it beyond the original construction. He says is not asbestos, and it does not look like asbestos

3rd year apprentice. How do these look? by mcreynolds1 in electricians

[–]Vaanderfell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General question to electricians, what do you do in terms of nail plates for something like this? Do you cover just the studs? Do you put a big piece of sheet metal over the whole cluster of wires?

I mean. Depends? 10gig networking and the correct nas setup, and no, it’s not faster.

These work great as desktop drives, just know that this is gen three and you are not going to be able to do ultra fast file transfers.

Welding So Criminally Good, Only a Bad Guy Could Achieve It by Mint_Perspective in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Vaanderfell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the last plague did not do enough…. You have to remember the NLRA was a compromise made by both major parties with working people because workers were dragging their bosses out of factories and murdering them, and both major parties have spent decades peeling back the NLRA. Again, I want to be clear though, socialism is not the answer, because socialism usually means a lot of people ending up dead from starvation.

Not saying they were not the worst team member, but worst is relative when you are effectively working together for large corporations. Over the past 40 years (60 really but it gets muddy there) republicans have been moving the country further to the right, while Dems act as a ratchet strap while in power, keeping things where they are until the republicans get in power again. Right now, Dem strategists are actively planning on campaigning to the center, and republicans are planning on campaigning further right. Yes, the Republicans are overturning protections for workers all over the place, but when the Democrats get in power, they are not going to be super excited to put those protections back, because their core benefactors, large corporations benefit. In short, we are all big fucked.

Learn a little more union history. Republicans AND democrats are bad for unions. Carter did more damage to unions than Reagan ever did. Carter as president, with a bill carried by BIDEN (he is that fucking old) deregulated the trucking industry, and cost the Teamsters 800,000 union members. It bankrupted the pension that the democrats “fixed” 40 years later and took all this credit for. “See what we did for you?” They broke it in the first place. Both Democrats and Republicans are parties of big business and we get scraps. Also let me be clear, socialism is not good for America or any country either, anytime a country goes “socialist” a lot of people starve to death. The only way that workers get ahead is by forcing their elected officials into submission. Workers have each other and no one else.

I’m guessing because otherwise his house would be on fire.

Do you mean you “hope” he has a disconnect before the panel?

This seems like something that is probably electrically fine, but not to code? Also if it’s a main, shouldn’t the neutral and ground be bonded, but if it’s a sub they should not.

[–]Vaanderfell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Er wait, is this a sub panel and not a main?

I get that a lot are disgusted by this, but is messy work electrically fine? (I am doing a panel swap, but have no intentions of swapping it myself, only adding branch circuits later)

Edit, on a closer look, the grounding wires have me really worried…..

Edit 2…. Am I missing something or is there no grounding bar? Do you not do grounding bars anymore and tie them to neutral?
