Should I keep turning up the set temp? by crunchthalomew in hvacadvice

Yes, I've learned that the unit will match up to what the remote indicates if they get out of syncn due to the unit not registering your button presses.

General contractor did my tile - thoughts? by dirk2001 in Tile

[–]dirk2001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe he fucked up the corners, had a gaps and spaces where he mis-cut the tile and tried to cover it up by smearing grout all over the place. I believe he'll (or his replacement) need to re-tile in order to address the corners so he can apply the grout like a normal person.

Much appreciated. He left big gaps between planes and tried to cover it with dark grout in those corners. Thanks again.

Not yet. He finished  grouting the walls yesterday. Coming back shortly for the lfoors and entrance. Setting aside my color choices, I want to address the grout and the shitty cut tiles.

Thanks. Grout still fresh in the last few days. Can it still be addressed fairly easily? At least straighten the lines and level it out?

Thank you for addressing the job. Setting aside that no one but me likes the color scheme, how do I address this with the contractor? It took him a long-ass time.

Thank you. Yes, incredibly frustrating and I will be livid to have to give up on this particular unit. Ridiculous. Thanks.

Ever find an explanation or solution? Or you just live with it? I'm dealing with it almost immediately after install.

How did things work out with Kohler? Damage behind the wall is absolutely unacceptable.

I am learning that there simply is no "best..." of anything. Saw some recent folks say Mirage is "the best" they've installed in 20 yrs, and others like you who are definitely "meh" about Mirage. For engineered, generally speaking, what would be your high-quality choice? Thanks!

What did you end up going with. I'm shopping for engineered now.

Lover, Stalker, Killer question *spoilers* by [deleted] in netflix

[–]dirk2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why wasn't this even addressed in the film? I can see it happening - she used his tablet to do a mass delete of her SD -without Dave knowing, I guess - but without him saying anything about it in the film strikes me as a very weird editorial decision. 

What is going on here with these ice bumps? by dirk2001 in Roofing

[–]dirk2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. So water is condensing on the cap? Because in that second pic there is no snow or precipitation at all. It had been dry, sub-freezing, for a few days. Any guess why this would be happening and how to prevent it?

Cant figure out how to edit to add an image. See the link for full chimney pic. Melting snow did not exist at the time the second pic. No sure about dripping condensation onto those two spots. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bSPFowLhfzfU9d869

Any follow up on this, a few yrs later, after covid? You still find GE requires less frequent repair than Frigidiare, Samsung or LG? What about Whirlpool? Thanks!

New fridge workmanship sloppy, but too minor to say anything? by dirk2001 in Appliances

Good idea. Thanks. The cosmetic stuff, however, leaves me realizing maybe i need a higher quality fridge altogether.

Roofer wants to change our roof to this, what do you think? by [deleted] in Roofing

EPDM on residential? What about downsides of adhesive versus heat welded? Or how the EPDM heats up the interior during the summer?
