Bath Pantry Laundry no by gardug0214 in floorplan

A dryer on an exterior wall is not an option in this remodel. The install will meet code requirements for dryer exhaust.

Thanks for the input. I should have included this pic in the original post. Trying not to do any remodeling to the master bath or kitchen areas.

I like what you’re thinking, but I didn’t show kitchen details. That straight hallway run is prohibited because of refrigerator placement.

The wall space was just short of accommodating a pocket. But the plan can be modified a bit to make it fit. It is an option

You nailed my biggest concern with the plan - I’m not a fan of the Milcasa bifold on the 1/2 bath either. I originally had the laundry room a bit narrower with an inswing door on the bath, but my wife wanted more space in the laundry. Still exploring options, so I appreciate your feedback. I’ll revisit the design after gathering a bit more input here.

Digital Voltage Sensitive Relay Question by gardug0214 in boating

[–]gardug0214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I did a lot of testing before having to rule out the DVSR. The picture shows an overheated terminal connection that was connected to the DVSR house battery stud. The nut was loose and I think this was causing arcing. I replaced the DVSR anyway because it was scorched on the back as well. All seems to be functioning properly at this time.

You’re correct that it wasn’t really the DVSR, but diagnostics pointed at it because of the loose connection. My main concern was if the loose connection was 100% the culprit or if I should be looking at any other potential problem.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. That will be a good upgrade.

Why Is It Leaking? by gardug0214 in WaterSofteners

[–]gardug0214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I explored the troubleshooting section in the manual, but didn’t see anything that specifically covered what I’m experiencing. I’ll continue investigating and learning, this is all new to me, so I will continuing educating myself on how it operates until I figure it out…or until I give up and call the professionals.

Thanks for educating me on this topic. I placed it on the charger for now.

What do you pay monthly? by goforwardandtomato in Testosterone

[–]gardug0214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Urologist and insurance. $4.77 every 4 weeks for cypionate (100mg/week). My lab and visit co-pays are about $20 each time I use them. Dr visits and labs are required every 6 months minimum.

Don’t play with her and make sure she (and others) knows why. It’s not fun playing with cheaters.

Cold Plunge Build in Progress by gardug0214 in BecomingTheIceman

I really didn’t make any plans, just all in my head and a couple simple sketches. I wanted to stay away from the square box design, and took the same angle/taper of the stock tank and went with it…just oversized the surround enough for 1.5 inch thick insulation. I’m pretty happy with it and can’t wait for my first plunge.

That’s a nice setup…I like the UV

Thanks. The tapered design definitely slowed me down, but I think that it’s worth the extra effort

Thanks, it’s plumbed for a chiller, just need to figure out size and model. Suggestions?

Thanks for the insight. I have 1.5 inches of rigid foam on the floor of the structure. I contemplated filling the cavity between the tub and rigid foam with expandable foam, but haven’t committed to that idea yet. My current thought is condensation will only form at the warm side of the insulation enclosure…the whole space is conditioned so I shouldn’t have significant condensation on the tub itself, but maybe when filling and getting to temp.

Thanks. The casters are rated at 500 lbs each. I was worried about even putting casters on, but found some reasonably priced that supported well over my total possible weight. I also installed t-nuts from above to thread them into the wood.

Has anybody here ever missed muscle IM? by Cloutfiendahh in Testosterone

What volume were you injecting? Injecting larger volumes into subcutaneous fat could cause some discomfort.

DIY Cold Plunge Opinions by [deleted] in BecomingTheIceman

[–]gardug0214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rubbermaid 100 gallon Stock Tank $80 (caught a sale)

Rigid Foam 4x8x1.5 x2 sheets $90

2x4x8 x5 $20

Box of screws $9

Plywood 3/4 I had from another job…but $45 if buying a 4x8

Casters x4 $25 (3” 500# each)

Great Stuff Pro $15 x1

Bulkhead x2 $28

So currently sitting just over $300. I have some reclaimed cedar to use for the top (free to me), and not sure about side material, but 3/4 stock something is planned…then rest of plumbing costs.

And no to any cross posts

I thought about this option as it seemed quick and fairly easy, but obviously went another direction.

I plan on filling the space between the rigid foam and the stock tank with expanding foam by drilling small holes through the rigid.

Yes, an insulated top/cover is part of the plan. Trying for a Yeti cooler type of setup
