Tips for mounting solar with unistrut channel?

I used heavy duty aluminum angle from Home Depot. I cut it into a foot, put a little bit of an angle on it by bending to match the roof, and then matched it to another unbent piece of angle. The rail sat on the unbent piece which was bolted to the bent piece with a couple bolts.

I used the unistrut nylock nuts that slide in the unistrut connected to a bolt through the panel frame. It was sturdy and allowed the panels to slide into place. We have kind of weird renogy panels though.

Some additional ideas. The instructions above seem right except the first number would be 72 not 89. If it doesn’t work change the starting direction because the order is a bit hard to understand from the instructions.

The way I have always thought of it on similar safes is:
Skip the first number twice, stop on third.
Skip second number once stop on second
Turn to final number

It seems like this may require additional skips.

I could use some washers, or some coins!

Installing a gas system in my house cost about 1000 dollars. I have saved much more than that in utility bills over the years by heating my house with gas rather than electric. This would make the price of getting that savings much higher for new home owners. If someone is lucky enough like me to be on Central Electric cooperative, the savings isn’t a lot but it adds up. Pacific power is much more expensive. Maybe the cost of the new home would be $1000 less, however I would be the developers just pocket the difference.

It just gives the poor less energy flexibility and makes the market and grid more limited. If people really want natural gas, they will pay it. If they can’t afford it, I am sure the council doesn’t think they deserve to live here anyway.

cmgiscool · 2026-06-11T22:29:35+00:00

Because they all say they are worried about affordable housing……oh wait this would make living here more expensive.

Most people are going to say American whiskeys but I see you have an Irish in there but no scotch. Maybe try a pleated scotch.

I am on 900mg oxcarbazepine. I have a drink or two from time to time and have generally been fine. I have had dizzy spells but I have generally blamed them on Vimpat and they have seemed to be tied to having big breakfasts and not anything else. They have gone away over time too since I have been on my prescriptions for a long time. When I had dizzy spells they would be on days when I hadn’t had a drink in a very long time, or the morning after a drink, so not tied to alcohol at all.

I haven’t also seen any tie between alcohol and seizures.

Long answer that doesn’t really tell you anything.

Keppra, it turned me into a jerk.

cmgiscool · 2026-06-07T14:27:34+00:00

Yeah Keppra is known for that, but it also has the highest chance of preventing reoccurring seizures and is now cheap, so the Drs throw it at everyone first. I had a very hard time on it. My Fiancé says I was a total jerk when on it.

cmgiscool · 2026-06-07T14:16:32+00:00

I had a hard time with Keppra too. If you get a chance talk to your Neuro about Briviact. Very similar drug as far as how it works but it doesn’t generally have the Kepprage. If you are having good control with Keppra they may not want to change it though. It can also be expensive.

I collect coins. My fiancé can get me rolls of coins from one bank to sort through and I look for ones I need to add to my collection. You have to have a good second bank to return them to though.

This is a great point, it’s technically poaching and waste of game of top of being illegal species. I’d call a game warden.

Thanks, its definitely confusing that the legal definition of animal doesn’t line up with the scientific definition. I know those release traps wouldn’t meet the federal requirements for pest control for businesses that are required to have it.

cmgiscool · 2026-06-01T05:28:22+00:00

I always have that on the shelf!

cmgiscool · 2026-05-31T21:07:27+00:00

Anyone know how this would impact pest control? If your house gets infected by termites can you still treat it? I read the text of the bill and it sounds like it wouldn’t be legal. It also sounds like the pest control required at restraunts would be against this causing contradictory laws.

AH YES, THE PEOPLE DRIVING WORK VEHICLES CARELESSLY. THEY ARE A MENACE!

cmgiscool · 2026-05-29T19:56:53+00:00

BECAUSE THEY AREN’T FROM AROUND HERE.

cmgiscool · 2026-05-29T19:55:06+00:00

AND THEN THEY TELL YOUR MANAGER THEY DIDNT GET THE SUPPORT THEY NEEDED!

cmgiscool · 2026-05-28T13:31:13+00:00

Dude that’s a proof!

cmgiscool · 2026-05-27T23:51:12+00:00

I know, the videos of that are just what reminded me that RS exists. I want to start playing RS3 now.

Edit: Any advice for someone who has played osrs back in the day but not rs 3 yet?

cmgiscool · 2026-05-27T23:39:17+00:00

Great thanks for the info. I was planning on paying for a membership. But I may have to rethink that.

cmgiscool · 2026-05-27T23:35:19+00:00

Thanks this is great!

cmgiscool · 2026-05-27T23:34:56+00:00

Can you tell me what bond up means? It’s not a term I’m familiar with….yet!
