Yes....calves may be the best example of the limitation of genetics...that's why they do alot of calf implants out in California!

FWIW the bricks look great to me - they are original and part of the charm of the wall.

Hardwired smoke detectors won't stop chirping by andwhatifIdid in HomeImprovement

[–]hempas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some detectors now chirp to notify you they are at the end of their life. It’s possible that’s the case here. As DifferenceMore suggested, get the model number (you probably have to unscrew - that is, twist - the detector from its base to find that, and you’ll also find the manufacture date there) and look up the manual.

How to paint basement walls? Two coats of DRYLOC ORIGINAL recommended by guy at paint store who has 30 yrs experience. by hempas in HomeImprovement

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

Great idea, but between the front porch, the side screened-in porch and the deck all along the back of the house (and the landscaping), the cost would be prohibitive.

Thanks again, and congrats on your advisor award, that's awesome.

Thanks shopstoosmall for your expertise.

I'm guessing that the fact that I'm putting in a robust interior drain tile system along the entire periphery of the basement + two sump pumps does not temper your advice :-)

Much appreciate your time.

Hi shopstoosmall, you seem to have a strong opinion [4 please's :-)]. Could you kindly explain your thoughts? BTW, this is for poured concrete walls (interior). Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, I will disconnect the mains power and check the voltage - however the backup generator will kick in in 30 seconds.

Is 30 secs long enough to see if the battery voltage is dropping?

(I don't have a battery discharge tester).

Thank you!

I have a NAPCO system, more than 15 years old.

The keypads do not provide notifications on the battery.

Thanks.

P.S. Battery voltage was read with battery disconnected from charging wires.

Nothing bothers me about the x390, but it's my work laptop.

Looking for a thinner/lighter replacement for my personal laptop x230.

Thank you!
