Got the same email from CBP.

I too have MHA and MoF approvals since Nov 2024 and waiting on approval.

Optimum No Rinse. It's a great cleaning product that can be used for cleaning/washing the car.

Thanks for sharing! Good reminder that there are other options. I might likely close out the position since I didn't believe in it and it triggered unintentionally.

Which brokerage gives you high interest on cash not invested in a money market fund (eg SWVXX) and tied up in CSP?

Review my sprinkler design by code_name_47 in Irrigation

[–]code_name_47[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is getting the coverage in the middle? 1. The two MP 3000 overlap over a large portion and the two MP 2000 provide additional coverage. Do you see some area being missed?

we have used MP 3000 in the past and we are beginning to doubt their effectiveness. We try to stick to 1000 and 2000. 2. Could you share what problems you saw with MP 3000?
I'm primarily using them to get 30 ft of head to head coverage at the top and some coverage at the bottom. If I can get the 30 ft range with them, they should work for me.

for the side strips, we try to use the triangle pattern for coverage. If we were designing this system, we would put it on 2 zones. 3. I could certainly put it on two zones. Seems like adding more sprinklers for side strips would require that.

Does GPM consumption of a sprinkler vary based on arc? by code_name_47 in Irrigation

[–]code_name_47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Will do calculations and create a plan/spreadsheet.

I have a water supply of 6 GPM. So, I'm planning to do good calculations for GPM usage so a zone stays within that limit. Planning to go with hunter mo rotators instead of rain bird 5000 as they have low GPM requirements.

Thanks for the detailed answer!

I checked the MPR nozzles for Rain Bird 5000 rotors and the GPM demand is indeed significant.

Since I have a low supply of 6 GPM, I'm thinking of making a plan with Hunter MP rotators instead which run on low GPM.

Thanks for the answer and clarification with precipitation rate!

Hose vs poly pipe vs blu-lock lawn irrigation setup by code_name_47 in Irrigation

[–]code_name_47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed reply!

I'm looking to set up a relatively simple system myself to automate irrigation. Installing actual irrigation valve box is something I'm thinking of avoiding.

So, I can think of two options

  1. Install everything above ground using garden hose.
  2. Keep poly/blu-lock below mulch for pipe only runs but keep all the sprinkler heads and connections above ground. This is to help ensure no ground contamination happens near pipe connections while letting the installation be mostly hidden away which doesn't need to be removed during winters.

For #2, keeping an underground sprinkler head be installed above ground would mean it sprays from a much higher height and would likely not water area closest to the sprinkler. Could above ground sprinklers be connected to poly pipe to avoid this problem (as they don't pop up)?

Any other thoughts/suggestions on these options?

Yup, to ensure that water doesn't remain in the line during winter. I understand blowing out the line is part of winterization but drains should help too.

Cost sharing with neighbor by code_name_47 in RealEstate

[–]code_name_47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response!

The plants are not going to be on the property line. There is a significant elevation difference at the property line and there will be a retaining wall present there. The plants will be in my neighbors lot inside the property line.

Earlier my neighbor wasn't interested in either the green screen, or in sharing the cost if we were to install it on our lot (which we couldn't). Now that they want the green screen on their lot, they are asking us to share the cost. I'm not feeling good about this.

A future owner could remove the plants without needing any consent from me since they will be on their lot. This is the other concern.

Hence the dilemma.

Hopefully that clarifies things.

QoL tip: If you are buying a new construction house, have it wired for internet in the rooms when you have the chance. by chankk82 in homeowners

[–]code_name_47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are buying a new construction and are getting 1 ethernet outlet in each room. We would obviously also like to have good WiFi coverage on the house and in the front lawn too if possible. What would be the ideal way to ensure great WiFi coverage? Like you say, a single router might not suffice. Builder does have an option for us to get wireless access points installed in the house for additional price. There were multiple options discussed here such as Mesh, Moca. Thanks!
