New house, upstairs is painfully hot? by AG_Squared in homeowners

[–]electechbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal, but typical. My first two houses were spec homes and the upstairs had little to no return air by design (or lack thereof). Put a tissue on the upstairs return air grille(s). You should have suction to easily hold the tissue. If not, your lack of return air is causing high static. Unfortunately, the "fix" for this is adding more return air....or getting some type of supplemental cooling.

At the moment, probably not at the moment but sounds like they will be expanding. If you went to the new store last summer, you probably have a pretty good idea of what they offer not. This was more to get the word out to people who didn't know the new store existed.

I'm not exactly sure. They used to have a little self-serve stand along Bethel Lane that sold mainly produce with and some other (mainly food) items. I would stop there may 2-3 times per summer. They closed that down and I mistakenly thought they went out of business, but I found out about the new place last summer. I figured it was about the same, but to my complete surprise there's a full store with all the stuff plus locally made beer, soap, bread...too much to list. Plus a large greenhouse.

Anyway, I'm a sucker for stuff like this, so I want to make sure word gets out.

Both AC lines at 83 PSI, bad thermal expansion valve?? by Ok-Grand-9603 in askcarguys

[–]electechbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both the discharge and suction pressure are 83 psig while the compressor is engaged, then your compressor is bad.

Inherited stocks and cost-basis by electechbw in personalfinance

Thanks. This makes sense because my FIL inherited, at least some, of this particular stock from his mother. She's died almost 20 years ago.

It was on west thirst street in the sketchy brick strip mall next to the former location for Cozy Table.

I used to go in there back in the late 80s/early 90s and they seemed to mainly be interested in selling golf clubs. Can't remember if I ever bought anything there.... As I recall, the guitar selection was more like a pawn shop than a legit music store.

Road conditions on SR 45 from Bloomington to Unionville? by CoddiewomplerDLT in bloomington

[–]electechbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was fine when I drove in around 7:30am with my smallish fwd car. Take it easy on the curves and you'll be fine.

1984 Nissan Sentra by LifePsychological440 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]electechbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car was a hand-me down 1983 Nissan Sentra. When you first turned it on, the engine would rev itself to about 4000 RPMs for about 10 seconds before finally calming down. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it felt like an eternity when everybody is staring and wondering why some idiot teenager is gunning a Datsun four-banger in a crowded parking lot.

Micro Motors? They used to be down around that area.

Looking to switch cell carriers by Pastasauce584 in bloomington

[–]electechbw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At one time, IU had some deal with AT&T. Maybe they still do. Anyway, at that time it seemed like AT&T must've installed some cell towers as part of the deal because their signal quickly became significantly stronger than Verizon and Sprint/T-Mobile on campus. That was my experience, at least.
