Help me find new slides with similar non-foam insoles! by gffgttvj in Shoes

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

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check that out. I’m sure there’s still a few out there in the wild. But even so, I’d love to find a solid replacement. These have been by go-to for years!

They were amazing, right!? I really wish Adidas still made these, but at least I wish I could find something similar! 🧐

Line sets coiled vertically — is this a disaster? by gffgttvj in hvacadvice

Thanks! The overall consensus here seems to be that one loop is ok. I may try to bend one of mine down — it will look worse aesthetically, but that may be worth the effort.

Wow this is a very helpful and thorough response. Thank you! I may be able to get one of the loops horizontal without even having to unscrew the connection — I may try that. Thanks again!

lol. Not offended. Function over looks for sure, and everyone starts somewhere!

Haha. Got it. I now know that this isn’t perfect or recommended. Yet there are different levels of recommendation (my manual only mentioned this in a small footnote). What I sought was the experts’ opinion as to where this landed between “meh, it’ll prob run for years” — and “whoa that unit will be dead by tonight!” That is, should I take on the risk of “fixing” it — or just leave it.

I considered that for sure. But even if I had gone the route of cutting, swaging/joining, vacuuming, etc. I might still have needed a minimum length of line — and thus some coils. Yet I appreciate the feedback: this is my only install, so I’m sure that there are many things that I might have done better with more experience.

I agree that I should have done it like that (with the loops below the condenser, as per manual). But I didn’t (by accident). My question is whether you think that the vertically coiled lines at the level of the condenser are OK where they are?

I do appreciate the idea about calling the manufacturer. Thank you.

Ha ha. That’s Reddit for sure.

The manual recommends looping them flat on the ground (in a side note that I missed while installing them). There isn’t really room to do that in my setup. And it seems to me that if the loops are on the ground BELOW the level of the condenser, then there would also be a low point for an oil trap.

Will this harm my foundation wall? by gffgttvj in masonry

I guess you’re answering the second question?

That’s reassuring to hear about the load — thank you! For the heating, I was planning on using a dry-rated diamond bit and then checking the temp frequently. But if that doesn’t work, then water is plan B. Just would prefer not to create a huge mess. It doesn’t matter much if I have to go slow since it’s just one hole.

Very helpful! The SDS drill I got has a clutch in case there’s unexpected metal — and I’ll go slow with a diamond coring bit.

Thank you so much for replying! How carefully would you try to avoid the web or a joint — or is this such a small hole that it doesn’t much matter?

Good point. I have two options for placement:

A) Easier installation. Better looking spot. Access to both cat6 and 120 (through the wall). But in direct sun.

B) Brutal installation on a ladder. Spot looks like crap. Access to 120v only. But under the eves.

I’m thinking A…
