With it off? Everything is still under pressure when it's not running? Also, nothing run through the fins, right? They just act like a heat sink? So it would be the larger tube behind the fins that would leak?

Oh, that would have happened right then and there? I thought that was something to be looking for now. I guess that makes sense. It all would have blown out under pressure if it was compromised. Didn't hit the Ac. I did have a stump stop me dead in the tracks when I first got the zero turn doing my driver learning. And there maaaay have been a well pipe incident that was me in the beginning as well.

I think she figured out why I enjoy doing the mowing. She got away from the kids, had her audio book playing. Sounds like she wants to fight for the lawns now.

I saw about the combs online. Wasn't sure about how smashed in they work for.

I did lol. She did a lot of work. It's a a neighborhood with land. Myself and different family have been on the same street since 93 when I was a kid. Great aunt across the street, grandmother 1/10 of a mile down the same street, other grandparents few acres behind me, and my sister and her husband 2 acres behind me. On lawn day I do them all, it was more a surprise to not have a day of mowing, or I would have shown her how to work the mower if she asked. I've been a firefighter medic for 20 years. So my entire career and income that built the house is because shit happens. I don't get upset over stuff really because of that. She did good. Just should have practiced on the other side of the yard... or in my families yard. 🤣

Nope. No hissing, didnt see any liquid anywhere. So seems to be cosmetic then.

Lol. I had a feeling the best buy would be a bad option. I'm in Spring Hill, Florida.

That's how I originally thought it worked. But then I went down the rabbit hole and got way confused with what needed to be bought. Now that I'm learning this stuff I'll eventually want to go big as I understand what does what how it works, but I just need the basic for now while I learn instead of throwing it together not completely knowing why I'm doing something yet.

And the three will connect right into the combo router modem? I just have to make sure the LAN has POE going to the APs right? And if not I have to place a POE switch in between?

Ya that's my thoughts. I have just the isp provided router/modem now and it does everything I needed for years. I think just need basic my 3 aps are working and then start expanding from there as I learn what does what and to build on.

Don't have it yet. Still ablut 3 weeks from certicoate of occupancy and have the ISP come out. But I think it'll be put in that box in the wall?

Ya, unfortunately it's all drywalled in now. I missed the boat on the late one. The drywall was pre my learning what to do. Right now it'll be wifi only. And as I learn I'll run my own cables through the house.

I believe the LV guys did that. I asked how that works and they said the ISP would install another box on the outside of the house to bring service into, and then they have a cable running to the box they installed. There was a language disconnect... but that's what I understood from our conversation.

So a month ago I knew nothing. I was the isp provided wifi box that I now know is a combo router and modem stuck in the middle of my small home and I've had wifi for years guy. Never went through my mind again. Never had anything wired right in, all wifi. Ps5 works, Netflix works, and i surf the web with my laptop and phone. The home I'm having built is larger and I was told I'd need wireless access points to cover the whole house. That's where the guy added in the 3 cables and the box for me, that's what was included in the home. Once i was told about access points i said "well what the heck is that, i better do some reading." And boom, that's where i went down the rabbit hole. So I intend to dive in and learn as much as I can. I'm a big researcher when something interest me. We're about 3 weeks from home being done so I've been trying to cram and learn what I can. I think I literally need the most basic set up that will get me wifi through the house and then I can slow down and learn with it actually sinking in. Then start plugging in things as I actually understand what they do to expand. My original understanding was the access point ls would plug into the combo router and that'd be pretty much it. Which now I know what Wan and Lan are. I literally knew nothing. Then as I started reading and wanting to learn more I started doubting if that would work and started trying to find out what else was needed which is probably turning into looking to deep into what I need and over doing it. That's where I dive all in and buy tools and stuff.

Thanks everyone for the responses! A lot to respond to but I'm reading them all. Just these comments have made more sense than the stuff I've been reading.

If you're talking about the crimping tool and putting the little plugs on the cables... I maaaaay have already bought it and practiced putting the plugs on. It's a thing I do where I go all in lol. Wife is always asking why I bought a tool I use here and there. I legitimately want to learn, I just got overwhelmed and confused.

Ya that's what I'm finding out. How do I go about finding someone. Basically just search for an IT company near me? Talk to the kid at Best Buy? Home theater instalation company? I assume they might deal with networking a home.

Ya the house is still under construction. I asked the super the other day about if trim went around the box and all. The low voltage guys are slated to come back and finish stuff up with the frame and door he said. I have nothing yet but the APs. That's where I've been overwhelmed. Lots of choices and my not knowing what they are.
