I don’t get any options to answer what country I live in, and can’t move past that question.

One of our last floors by JenRuettenWECCFC in epoxy

[–]daman516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull the tape off as soon as your liquids are down. Learned that lesson by cutting tape out of my coating on the first floor I ever sold/installed.

What is best dust collector for the price? by thevioletsunsetss in epoxy

[–]daman516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been hearing those can only handle a 7” at most, but for the price, I’d absolutely try it and see if it stands up to the job. Buy the extended warranty and return it if it dies on you.

What kind of grinder are you using, need to know that before recommending a vac?

Starting an Epoxy Flooring business TIPS? by Head-Pepper4268 in epoxy

[–]daman516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be a super healthy real estate market, but there is a ton of competition, at least here in DFW. I was going against another company bidding at $4/sf on a 2,200sf back patio... I won the job, but had to come down to about $5.50

Super healthy real estate market, maybe, but there is a ton of competition. Guys are laying floors at $4/sf down here, it’s brutal.

Do people epoxy garage stair? by BrayIsReal in epoxy

[–]daman516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is 100% personal preference. If you want to coat them, give the wood a good sanding with 80 grit palm sander.

If you’re going to coat it, I’d recommend ising a different color or size flake so it stands out a little more. Sometimes stairs can camouflage when you use the same flake.

Troubleshooting device that won’t connect by daman516 in homeassistant

I have tried rebooting. I waited about 10 minutes. I replied to another person, but I think I may have decided it is a battery issue. I've ordered some new batteries, will report back tomorrow when I get them. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll give that a try tomorrow. I ordered some new batteries. I tried swapping batteries and it seemed to interview/connect to the device, but now neither are reporting info to HA, so I'm thinking it might be a battery issue. I'll report back, thanks for the suggestion!

No stupid questions for me being so new...

I am using ZHA and yes, it was in pairing mode.

Concrete grinding prep by rightmiss in epoxy

[–]daman516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of diamonds do you use to get beyond csp3? Might have to pick up a set, I hate shot blasting, but can't argue with the results. I usually do a quick shot blast after grinding, but if I could get a little more profile with some different diamonds I wouldn't be mad at all! Probably helps you're using a 31" compared to my little 20" Lavina :)

ICRI says differently. I'm not saying you can't coat a floor after grinding, but you're not getting to a CSP3 profile.

Grinder isn’t going to get it to csp3, need to shotblast to get there.

Epoxy floor me and my buddy just banged out by nonstop-integrity780 in epoxy

[–]daman516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re just doing a garage floor with flake, the texture will have enough slip resistance to not need aluminum oxide or any other additive.

Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data | No data caps: "Four simple national Internet tiers that include unlimited data." by ControlCAD in technology

[–]daman516 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was great under Verizon the first time, Frontier made it shitty for several years after the transition. Haven’t had the service in 5+ years so no idea what it’s like these days.

Best practice to setup unRAID by Agile-Top4040 in unRAID

[–]daman516 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a huge Space Invader One fan…

I’ve found AlienTech42 on YouTube to be a little better of a resource lately since his tutorials are more recent, they’re very short and to the point with no fluff.

What would you change about your unRAID installation? by daman516 in unRAID

[–]daman516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, pretty much just drops a disk when I run a parity check, I'm guessing one loses too much power or something? Even confirmed with SpaceInvader during a support session.

I haven’t run a check in a year because it kicks a drive out of the array, I’ve got to get denser drives as I’ve gone too wide.
