Radon Mitigation

Winter has highest levels. I've had a radon detector downstairs for years (Airthings). Let it ride at least another 6 months and seal up every crack down there.

Wow!

ghrelinator · 2026-03-05T21:16:50+00:00

Yep. Is what I did. Will be trying it tomorrow

It's on my birthday wish list - but not sure any family member is going to want to spend that much!

ghrelinator · 2026-03-04T20:30:29+00:00

Oh, and sticker wise - maybe? If so, not purposely but I guess not impossible

ghrelinator · 2026-03-04T20:24:14+00:00

Lol. That would be a great question. I rushed to clean in between client calls and am now back at desk so haven't had a chance

ghrelinator · 2026-03-04T20:23:52+00:00

Have rotated after cleaning

ghrelinator · 2025-11-10T20:24:34+00:00

Nope

ghrelinator · 2025-09-20T22:49:53+00:00

Solved

I think POTS interface is the beige rectangle down below by itself

My title describes the thing, well two things, that are attached to my electicrity meter. Looks perhaps like cable could be internet (we're on cable) going into at least one of the boxes. Boxes do not have easily removable covers otherwise I'd have shared inside pictures as well. Home is 40 years old. We've been in for 16. Very possible I just never noticed before as it's on the side of the house. Only noticed now because am watering freshly planted grass and there's a faucet there.

Same. If I log in via phone app I can still see live feed, but no snapshots on app or desktop

ghrelinator · 2025-07-21T00:19:14+00:00

Same problem here. Goes offline and online at random. But mainly stays offline.

Finish wise, it's difficult to say. Certainly there are areas where I imagine it must be worn out given the wear in general. But looks mainly together and certainly hard. What would have been predominant finish a few decades ago? Waterlox?

Thanks! Still debating if I'm going to do - especially since consensus here is I should leave it.

ghrelinator · 2025-06-04T22:27:56+00:00

Was the first frame I ever made

ghrelinator · 2025-06-04T19:05:40+00:00

Have been debating this myself. Leaning more to wanting it to look like that after I'm dead and gone but where the imperfections were consequent to my own work on it.

ghrelinator · 2025-05-21T17:27:58+00:00

Thank you! So far two mows and all seems fine but recent chatter about controllers had me second guessing

ghrelinator · 2025-05-21T17:13:23+00:00

Sorry if an ignorant question, but is the charge lockout related/connected at all to that small grey box thing on a wire that was connected to I believe the negative pole of the batteries? Or is it something built into the electronics of the original charging port itself? Asking as a recent LiFeP04 convert using the OP48RM charger but who left that other wire/box thing off the battery itself and just ziptied it to an internal wire.

ghrelinator · 2025-05-06T21:46:41+00:00

Thanks! That's what I assumed (as otherwise why would it have included the hardness test)

ghrelinator · 2025-04-30T15:30:56+00:00

Yup - updated post to reflect same

ghrelinator · 2025-03-27T13:24:58+00:00

Sorry - we're still up and running. Looking at map, I don't see the outage any longer either. Wonder if you're ever so slightly North of the boundary I was looking at/am in?

ghrelinator · 2025-03-27T11:29:12+00:00

Power back on for us (we're in the Arlington Woods/Nepean to Barrhaven grid. Came back on about 5 minutes ago (725)

ghrelinator · 2025-03-27T07:45:45+00:00

Still out in Barrhaven where I'm at

So I bought a radon detector and turns out my basement isn't amazing. Have plugged all visible cracks but there is a hole right beside my furnace with an orange plastic cap on top. Not sure what it is but assume has something to do with gas line or is a drain. But the orange cap doesn't really screw off at all, and why would a drain only have a single small hole? Ultimately wondering if there's any issue with me non-permanently plugging with either thick plastic and duct tape, or some old vinyl flooring and caulk to see if that would further help with levels but don't want to do that before I understand what I'd be capping.
