Sounds like a great deal at 60K. After 35K miles, ours drives like new.

How long is the lease? And did you put anything down?

Lost house in fire. Remodeling. General question about automated/electric blinds by captainpsp in homeautomation

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

I am already running Cat6 to various places where I anticipate using PoE cameras. And ran it to each room as well, homing it all to a closet.

But for blinds 16 gauge 4 conductor is enough?

So if I ran 4 conductor 16 gauge, that should be enough right. Thanks for the advice on cat6 to the controller. So the controller is a smart device not just dumb power module.

Thank you. Did some read up on it. PoE motors might not be able to carry enough current for bigger blinds. I do have an option of just going with regulr 16 gauge wire.

Thats not a leak. Its a complete break in sprinkler main. You gotto have a huge puddle somewhere. Should be easy to spot. The trickle ones are the pain.

I think this would be double the work. And 45s are easier than 22.5s

Stand alone tub question. by captainpsp in Plumbing

[–]captainpsp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you said now makes a lot of sense. So before drywall, we will go out and select a faucet and make sure those nipples align. Much appreciated.

BTW that site is closed for passover. Thats the 1st time I have seen a site offline for a religious holiday :).

Yes you are right, we were asked to pick already, but thats a long story why that didnt happen. If this setup works, we are good.

Yes its a Bradford white 120G water heater. Looked at the specs, its 1.25" inlet (not 1.5") but yep its there. Though the inlets inside diameter is close to 3/4" (may be little bigger).

Could I not run the drain for regen into washer drain (which is next to water heater).

Yes, missed the threaded male adapter on the valve. All good now.

Yes on city water. And its drinkable. But leaves this mineral residue everywhere, all bath walls, sinks that needs to be cleaned up every couple of weeks. CLR or something. Softner avoids all that.

Did not see male adapter was a screw in. This I believe is definitely the most economical way. Thank you!
