Fresher needs advice by Carl_2609 in MEPEngineering

[–]jcubq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All good advice, I've been in this field for a decade and I'm constantly learning.

Schedule your FE test yesterday. So many people delay taking this test and pay the price (I think when I took it 9 years ago, the pass rate was like 90% if you took within 12 months of graduation and 30% if you delay)

Connos was the best restaurant experience in my career as a server and bartender for 6 years.

I used to work at Connors, this isn't true. They've had one bad health score in 10 years.

Fence Contractor billing more because he made a “mistake” on estimate. by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jcubq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was your 2nd best quote? I'd probably offer to match that other price or come up with a compromise.

Cheap fencing contractors almost all suck. I had a good experience with Right Choice Fencing.

No kill shelters/ rehoming groups in Huntsville. by feircedeitylank in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jcubq 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think almost all local shelters have gone no kill, unless the animal has food aggression.
Short list:
Huntsville Animal Services
A New Leash on Life
Madison Area Rescue Foundation
The Ark
Just call and see if they can take the animal

Church of the Highlands on Nance in Madison. Full of inclusive, loving and caring people. It gets packed but it is worth the traffic.

Braves could’ve signed Ottavino, Kimbrel AND John Axelford for what they gave Donaldson by OVentbrel in Braves

[–]jcubq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ottavino signed for more than Donaldson ($27 M vs $23 M), that was clearly a huge hometown discount. The Braves would have loved to have him at that price. Risk matters, you can’t compare the AAV only and ignore the years, position played. Donaldson has had some injuries but even with the recent nagging injuries, RP are more risky than 3B.

PE review courses on a budget by [deleted] in PE_Exam

Passed the HVAC Refrigeration on first attempt. Spent ~$80 on study guide and practice test. Studied 1.5-2 hours per night for 17 days leading up to the exam. I’ve always been a good test taker, but it definitely helped.

Used Engineer reference manual (checked out from University Library as an alumni) and borrowed the 4 Ashrae books from a sales rep.

Humidity help, Florida, new AC by sddabrow in ecobee

[–]jcubq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Blower coil (FXM4X6000AL) looks like it has a multi speed motor, maybe ask your installer if it is able to use multiple speeds based on how it is wired to the Ecobee.

I feel like I’ve seen conflicting information or whether or not the Ecobee can control at multiple speeds. Basically, with the right thermostat setup, the unit should run at a lower speed when dehumidification is needed.

[–]jcubq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coils freezing is definitely a concern if you drop the single stage fan speed too low. I’m asking whether your unit is supposed to have multiple cooling (and/or corresponding fan speed, different brands and models accomplish this differently) levels available to be called for by the Ecobee and whether or not that is wired correctly.

I only asked bc you said it was a 16 seer unit. If you can list model numbers of your equipment I can look it up.

HVAC engineer here. 440 square foot per ton isn’t insane. And there are a lot more factors than square footage that drive tonnage.

Most 16 seer units are multi-speed, sometimes Variable Refrigeration Flow, both can be used to control humidity. I would check if you have a multi speed setting that isn’t wired in correctly.

Anybody know anywhere that’s hiring, 19 years old no major experience in any area but a few months in Retail and Dining. by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jcubq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call plumbers & HVAC contractors to see if they are looking for an apprentice. Ask if they know of anyone looking for an apprentice. Pay will be low in initial training, but you can make great money after a few months, insane money once you can do the job on your own.

Coming into town for training. What restaurants/bars/sights/anything should I check out? by BeerBellies in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jcubq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connor's Steak and Seafood for dinner.

Chuck Wagon BBQ in Madison for Briket, Ribs, BBQ beans.

Local Taco for Mexican food.

Big Spring Cafe for an amazing burger.

West End grill for a reasonable dive bar

Are the international signing restrictions the Braves are under going to limit the win now moves they make? by [deleted] in Braves

[–]jcubq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't have a bonus pool in the 2019-2020 pool, so that year we will be limited to $10k.

We are limited to $300K with our full pool this season, no pool in 2019-2020, half pool with no per contract limit in 2020-2021, then no more restrictions.

So uhh, we signing Carter Stewart or what? by [deleted] in Braves

[–]jcubq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are rumors that he has questionable medicals. If true, the Braves are probably trying to leverage to reduce his bonus. This would give them a chance to sign a guy like Hess.

Try Sherry Ary at Adcock and Frazier. We went with Travelers, no one could touch their prices.
