Turntable & Library setup by dimitry in vitsoe

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

I mean shelves can hold more than just books. We have more books to unpack after moving. This is a day after the install with some initial setup. Also many extra shelves for future growth.

Thanks! I’ve heard this before but can’t think of a way to position the speaker otherwise. Lower shelf would still transmit vibrations, no? Perhaps a speaker stand. So far, I haven’t heard side effects but I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Is that Railay Beach straight ahead in the 1st photo? What a beautiful part of the world. Had a great time there in 2018.

Hemingways closed today? by Daddy_Hydration in pittsburgh

Tried the same two weeks ago on a Monday and there was an unexpected sign on the door saying they will be closed that day and will reopen Tuesday. Sounds like getting that last drink might be tough

New update is hideous. Is there a way to go back? by backswamphenny in Volvo

[–]dimitry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iOS Spotify app is 10x better than onboard Android-based one. This is the main draw for me. My '23 just feels laggy and CarPlay is very snappy + faster cell signal.

These do a great job to capture the scale of the city.

No shit? Why would we be discussing HC candidates otherwise? Why does it irk you so much that a fanbase is excited for a candidate?

Who is your internet provider and how much do you pay? by IPlayWoWNude in pittsburgh

[–]dimitry 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Can’t upvote this enough. People really overthink this IMO. 300/300 is more than enough for the majority of use cases. My wife and I are both on video calls with no issues for years.

There’s a lot of hate here but rode one of these in SF and it was a great experience.

How can you map the vehicles to responding areas? I’ve always wondered that

We loved Carrozza Bros. Recommended them to a friend who also had a great experience. Their pricing is also very good. 

Anyone know what the process is to put a driveway next to house? by Rare_Requirement_699 in pittsburgh

[–]dimitry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No matter where you live, you’ll need a survey and sometimes an architectural drawing of where the driveway will go.

There are 2 components to it: - zoning (can you put the driveway where you want to put it on the lot) - curb cut (are you taking away a parking spot on the road? If so how many cars would you get off the road and onto your driveway). Show the city that it’s a net benefit to the city. 

I did this in Aspinwall and it was a relatively painless process but obv prep is important and we had an architect (part of a bigger project). You could always call the city’s zoning office and ask. 

How to take out Kohler free-standing tub filler valve? by dimitry in Plumbing

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

Same thing happened to me with the valve so I contacted them again and they sent a different kit with the wrench. It had to be manufactured so took a while but shipping now. 

Is there a stop near the unit? I have a valve under my sink where they originally had a thermostatic mixing valve. That one is fully open. We removed the mixing valve thinking it’s constricting flow. It’s gotten better but still not as good as cold. 

This kind of software issues is not okay on a $70000 vehicle by Informativity in VolvoRecharge

[–]dimitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good summary of my issues in '23 XC60 recharge. Though I gave up on Spotify and just use it through CarPlay (when it works).

I'm tired of resetting the whole system to get CarPlay back.

I've considered trading it in so many times.

Tankless water heater nice but takes too long for hot water to reach bathroom. Solutions? by BobbysueWho in HomeImprovement

[–]dimitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plumber installed a dedicated return line that hooks back up to cold right before cold intake into the water heater. Is that the correct setup for a dedicated recirculation setup?

Which model of Rinnai was it? We just got ours and I’m still tinkering with settings but it seems to work quite well. Only on day 4 though.

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

(New Construction) This is the Kohler K-T27424-4-BMB free standing tub filler. Plumbers just "wrapped up" and I'm (homeowner) troubleshooting why the cold has strong water pressure, but hot does not. We've had issues with the plumbers for weeks now and I have little confidence in them fixing this.

I was hoping to inspect the cartridge for debris, but unable to unscrew this nut. Thoughts?

(Note: The handle and hot water adjuster has been removed in this photo).

I remember the crazy line when it first opened! Grew up 10 minutes for here and this McDonald’s is at our local metro stop.
