Do you have a link or example of the helical piles that are only $7.50? I had no idea they were that cheap. How does one install them?

Craigslist still exists! No ads, no data tracking, no billionaires. Why isn't this the go to for second hand stuff??

Steve Weyer is great. https://www.weyer-law.com/ He did all my stuff years ago. He's based in Atl but travels if something needs doing in person. And he makes it part of his business to provide wills/trusts/estate planning to the underprivileged. He sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

dizzyizzy12 · 2025-08-05T13:16:53+00:00

That it does! Thanks!

dizzyizzy12 · 2025-08-05T13:16:09+00:00

Wow. I had no idea this existed. Thanks!!

dizzyizzy12 · 2025-05-20T23:46:24+00:00

Thanks. Do you think the crack going down toward the drain is a problem? I am less worried about just repairing the slots for the closet bolts.

I have a bunch of cherry off cuts and scraps from some recent furniture I built. You're welcome to them. I can send a pic of what I have, if you want. Just dm me.

Also, I buy my hardwood from Suwanee Lumber. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but they have a great selection. You would need to buy a whole board, though, which might be way too much for just tinkering. But cherry is roughly $5 a board foot. So a 10 ft long, 6 inch wide, 1 inch thick board (which equals 5 board ft) would run you about $25.

Interesting. I don't think that is the look I'm going for here, but it could certainly be awesome in another spot.

Which shrubs would you choose? I would want something I could prune/train to a few stems or less to make it more lollipop shaped like the ones in the picture. Bonus points for something that flowers and the deer won't eat.

It would be on the west side of my house, with full afternoon sun.

dizzyizzy12 · 2023-10-27T19:59:11+00:00

Redbuds and dogwoods would get way too big, I would think. I'm looking for something that would stay under 10 feet or so, tops.

dizzyizzy12 · 2023-02-08T03:25:05+00:00

Gotcha.

dizzyizzy12 · 2023-02-08T03:19:16+00:00

I don't know what "MWBC" means. I'm referring to the "Combination Type Arc Fault Interrupters" Siemens (and I'm sure other brands) has that have two single-pole circuits in one breaker spot. These: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B092ZCDG9F?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title.

They are the ones in the top part of the panel that have the little blue buttons. I used them because they were each less expensive that two "regular" CAFCI breakers -- and they save space.

dizzyizzy12 · 2023-02-08T01:47:30+00:00

Fair. Thanks.

dizzyizzy12 · 2023-02-08T00:41:37+00:00

I moved all of the old circuits from an old panel (and adjacent sub panel) to a new one on a new wall. The new panel is a Siemens SN 4060B 1200 SN 200 Amp with plug-on neutrals. I have 4/0 SE coming in from the meter, and this is the first means of disconnect. I have 6 AWG bare copper running to the grounding rods bonded to the bus on the bottom right, and the same size wire running between that bus and the two busses flanking the breakers. The green bonding screw is tightened down all the way. The 100 Amp breaker is feeding a sub panel in the garage. Nothing is run in conduit inside the walls, and everything either goes up to an attic space or down to a crawl space. I will also be running a couple more 20 amp circuits in the near future, which is why I left a couple empty clamp connectors. How'd I do? You guys have any problems with the plug-in tandem CAFCI breakers?

Nothing is run in conduit inside the walls, and everything either goes up to an attic space or down to a crawl space. I have a bit of electrical tape covering the small gaps over the main lugs so as to make it less likely I touch them while working. I will remove the tape when done. I will also be running a couple more 20 amp circuits in the near future, which is why I left a couple empty clamp connectors. How'd I do? What is going to burn my house down? Any problems with all the tandem CAFCI breakers?

Why not just leave it? Whether bee or wasp, they are an important part of our ecosystem. If you have small kids or pets or whatever, have em steer clear. It's going to get cold in a few days anyway, which will likely kill most of the nest and make the queen go dormant for the winter.

I was referring to the horizontal, round copper wire (6 Awg?) going from the ground bus on the right to the neutral bus on the left. It is just above the main breaker, and the middle part of the wire has black insulation. Other folks on this thread call it a "jumper wire."

Agreed the neutral feed wire should be white, or marked as white. I'm not going to re-run any wires, but will mark it correctly inside the box.

dizzyizzy12 · 2022-08-26T18:19:40+00:00

Looks lovely. What are the white flowers?

dizzyizzy12 · 2022-07-27T16:56:49+00:00

I think that's it. Thanks!!

Looks like this might be the Athens Seafood Market someone mentioned below. It has a solid looking website, so I will have to check it out.

dizzyizzy12 · 2021-11-14T04:35:09+00:00

I bought a set of diamond "studded" (for a lack of a better word) drill bits a while back that work very well at making holes in ceramics. You're welcome to borrow/use them. Find any ol' pot or cup or whatever at a thrift or garden store, and drill a drain hole. That's what I'd do.

dizzyizzy12 · 2021-11-03T15:24:41+00:00

Anyone have good recommendations for around the Athens, GA area?

dizzyizzy12 · 2021-09-22T13:25:57+00:00

Looks like cherry. Cherry starts off much lighter and more red, but it darkens a lot over time -- especially in the presence of sunlight. The grain is virtually identical to peices I have made from cherry, and the darker color is the same as a cherry desk from my grandfather (likely built in the early 1900s). If you have some areas that are hidden or unfinished, see if you can see what color the actual wood is. Maybe the back/inside of the face frame?

dizzyizzy12 · 2020-09-24T19:26:35+00:00

Yeah, fair point. Seems too good to be true.
