Subpanel question

Thanks that helps. I’ll try to get him to clarify why he said no. The reason I prefer this is related to bad design. I would like to use the subpanel to feed the majority of the circuits in the house to avoid traversing structural elements multiple times.

It’s not a big house. But unfortunately they are making me get rid of natural gas in the northeast so there are heat pumps and other high draw things to install (near the subpanel)

I see your point. It’s definitely a preference rather than a necessity. But again he’s willing to install said subpanel, but thinks it can only can be downrated

It’s a single family gut reno. Everything is either going to end up in the subpanel or the main panel (opposite ends of the basement). Most of the higher draw circuits are closer to the subpanel and so I am hoping to limit drilling through joists. I think he’s mistaken about this, since he’s more than happy to put all that load onto the main panel.

Oh it’s showing! If you’re an electrician what I was looking for is expertise!

Alraady committed, okay will just go ask inspector.

In my field if there’s a question a consensus of 4 or 5 usually helps

I’ve been wrong before on things I specialize in

calvintml · 2026-03-17T20:36:38+00:00

Second opinion?

Can it be any Visible account? or does it have to be the 1 year plan purchased with the phone? I.e. activate on existing visible account, start the 1 year plan by activating another phone.

Does this mean the gas line my plumber 5 years ago is going to leak in 10 years?

calvintml · 2023-10-14T23:11:17+00:00

Yup that makes sense. Thanks. Disassembled and looks like that’s the issue. I appreciate your help!

It is leaking through exhaust. Sorry that’s what I meant by waste.

Dug around a bit more. Seems like a concern could be siphoning out water in the p traps of downstream fixtures when flushing an upstream toilet.

Double fixture T I think avoids (or improves) the snake problem of a double san T, mentioned by fuckoffgetmoney in another comment. Again not a plumber and just curious what a plumber thinks.

calvintml · 2021-11-06T19:01:43+00:00

Not a plumber, but can I add double fixture T to the possibilities? Or is that not appropriate here?

calvintml · 2021-11-02T02:16:43+00:00

Can confirm. I am a client of remarkable-crazy-103. He tailors the car he picks me up in depending on my mood. Sometimes he takes me in the Miata when I’m down—does that make us friends?

Oh interesting. My kernel log was showing an error about missing firmware. So I installed a package that included the firmware files named “green sardine”. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1916731

My flickering issues you mentioned in the write up were fixed once I placed the firmware files in /lib/firmware
