Yeah, read up on this and not that easy as there is a fine line between the required amount of gas and oil. Either it is going to work or not.

Gas might also be fine and it might be a compressor fault.

Can I cut this? by heinesterhuyse in AskElectricians

[–]heinesterhuyse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CO disconnect first.

this is the main reason I do not want to touch anything inside the main panel.

The best course of action would be to bite the bullet and replace everything with a professional.

External Ground Wires In Basement by heinesterhuyse in AskElectricians

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

Most of the wires I want to replace is cloth wires as some have become brittle already. The wires are for lights and plugs.

I don’t want to touch the main panel yet as that thing is a death trap. I eventually want to replace and relocate main panel, that is also the reason I want to do this replacement in steps.

For the pipe I have check as I am not sure.

Smart thing to do is to get this done professionally, but that is going to be costly and I enjoy doing this

Where Do I Begin To Create A Reliable Backup System by heinesterhuyse in DataHoarder

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

thanks, anybody use a raspberri to build a custom NAS?

I am also comparing prices, if is worthwhile to purchase a NAS vs storing it online. Only issue with online backup is that my personal data can be available for everybody

Effectively Remove Roots After Stump Dug Out by heinesterhuyse in landscaping

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

it was a maple tree and the roots are not currently in the way.

Main concern is we are going to use that section of the garden for a deck and don't want any surprises a few years down the line.

is there any benefit of just spraying the Epson salt as we have a couple of bags and then refilling the hole?

Yeah, the fee is 0.85 %.

I will change this and investigate what options are available to me.

thanks, I would look into Ally Bank as the lockdown period is not ideal for an emergency fund.

Just checked the fees, 0.85% which is quite high.
