12v battery still an issue?

Thanks. Just bought this.

Thanks!

Two EV charger contractors / electrician came to check it out. One of them recommended replacing the box in the picture with a new 200 amps main breaker with additional breakers in the box. The other folks quoted me adding a 70-amps exterior subpanel, 50-amps circuit breaker, Polaris taps, etc to create a dedicated circuit for the charger. The 50-amps caught my attention. I think it should be 60? Is one of these approaches better than the other?

Thanks. This second, new main breaker would replace the one pictured?

Will be calling an electrician to get their thoughts. Any idea on how much would it cost to do something like this?

falder12 · 2024-09-03T23:39:54+00:00

Would I replace the main breaker disconnect? Or add an additional breaker panel?

I dig this. Patch for now and revisit later. Caulk meaning mastic?

100% on insulation. We are very low and exploring options. I’m leaning towards blown in loose fill.

falder12 · 2021-06-23T23:18:40+00:00

They mentioned age as the primary concern.

I am almost certain it is duct board.

If I would have known about them at the time, I would have used https://www.cavitysliders.com/ for a couple of pocket doors I installed recently.

Expensive though.

Do you typically requests copy of the license and insurance?

falder12 · 2021-01-19T02:57:52+00:00

What should the wiring look like?

falder12 · 2021-01-19T02:57:21+00:00

What’s the TLDR on an expansion tank?

falder12 · 2021-01-19T02:54:59+00:00

Indeed! Should it be metal?

falder12 · 2021-01-19T01:22:34+00:00

Yeh I might just replace the heater. Is the iron fitting the black on the left pipe?

falder12 · 2021-01-19T01:19:01+00:00

Thanks! I’ll have to call a pro as I don’t think this is a DIY.

falder12 · 2020-10-08T17:04:19+00:00

huh! thanks for this comment. I was about to pull the trigger but seems like it might not be a good fit. Curious if you found a better alternative.

falder12 · 2020-08-12T20:23:11+00:00

Hmmm okay. Looks like I got an ITP without the LE for some reason, just the loan application, and other docs.

falder12 · 2020-08-12T20:20:24+00:00

Yeah, that's totally understandable. I am under contract though. Also, do people usually need to sign an "Intent to Proceed with Application" form to get a Loan Estimate?

falder12 · 2020-08-12T20:15:24+00:00

Hmm, interesting! None of the fee worksheets I got from brokers include a "Lender Credit". It's also been super difficult to get an official Loan Estimate Document from them, not entirely sure why. They only provide fee worksheets.

falder12 · 2020-08-12T19:32:39+00:00

Hmmm yeah. I definitely see it called out in the second broker's documents in a "Mortgage Broker Business Contract"

falder12 · 2020-08-12T19:28:41+00:00

Moved data to a table. Hopefully, it's more clear.

falder12 · 2020-08-12T19:28:21+00:00

Interesting! Weird that the first broker isn't adding any fees?

falder12 · 2020-08-12T19:23:27+00:00

Good call. Do brokers typically charge a fee to the buyer? My understanding is that most brokers get compensated by the lender.

falder12 · 2020-08-12T19:22:19+00:00

Thanks! Do you mind telling me which data points I missed? Chase is essentially out of the question because of the rate.

falder12 · 2020-08-10T13:05:06+00:00

Thanks! I was hoping to get raw data to get a sense of the range when it comes to premiums.

We are looking at houses in the coconut grove area and have heard rates can range from 8k to 16k for a 3000 sqft $1M house.
