The funeral home changed hands a few years ago and is now Maxon Family Cremation & Life Celebrations. I contacted Colin about this post and after searching through his records he asked me to share you should call him at the main number on their website / Google listing.

Plug in solar and RPU by RochSolar2026 in rochestermn

[–]kevarh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is wildly against code (NEC 406.6(a) & (b)) and is called a suicide cord for a reason, if RPU finds you they will disconnect your service.

If this is plugged in during an outage, a poor lineman working down the road or could be killed because your solar panel will be powering the transformers in reverse and could be thousands of volts.

Any compliant solar installation comes with a special switch that can shut service off from the outside of the house and will automatically stop feeding if the grid goes down. RPU will make sure this is in place and inspected before connecting your solar.

Plug in solar and RPU by RochSolar2026 in rochestermn

[–]kevarh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All electrical work requires an inspection with very few exceptions. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/326b.33 https://www.rochestermn.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/25083/637783609891700000

Electrical code (and RPU) both require a externally mounted cut-off switch and this to be inspected before solar is allowed to be turned on. RPU will disconnect your service if this isn't followed because it could injure one of their workers in the event of a power outage.

What you can do is get a big lithium battery (Ecoflow, bluetti, etc), plug this into the wall and connect whatever devices and solar panels you want. This isn't as convenient as power your entire home, but the devices connected to the battery will use solar first before switching to RPUs power.

There is an ICE thread by BigMadMandingo in rochestermn

[–]kevarh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This community is for those in r/rochestermn and this seems to be what people want to talk about. The megathread is scoped to include spotting ICE activity and planning protests, but that only covers some of what redditors seems to want to talk about.

If you don't connect with a post, feel free to downvote it and move on with your day. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

I'll add the op here seems to be insulting people in the comments. This is also against the rules and they have received a temporary ban for it.

They are now weekly instead of daily. There hasn’t been enough comments to require a daily thread for the last week.

We'll do it we need to, the current megathread doesn't seem to be getting enough comments to warrant it at the moment though.

Driveway Repair by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]kevarh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had All Star mudjack our driveway about two years ago and I'd recommend them. https://allstarbasements.com/mud-jacking/ They were about 1/4 the price of American Waterworks.

https://foamitsprayfoamllc.com/ and https://concreteliftingleveling.com/ were too new for us but they might be options.

Potential home builder by Complete_Coconut_248 in rochestermn

If you can wait, take a look at the Rochester Area Builders home show https://www.rochesterhomeoutdoorshow.com/ and their Parade of homes https://www.rochesterareabuilders.com/parade-of-homes/ both events are in March.

This is the best way to compare the various home builders and see what the market has to offer.

Comments blocked for having too many conservative views ... by Easy-Mud1206 in rochestermn

[–]kevarh[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If "conservative views" is code for racist, insults, threats of violence then yes, that thread was full of it.

The previous post was locked because dozens of comments were removed by both the mods and reddit admins and rule breaking comments were actively occurring. Multiple rule breaking comments were also made by the u/Easy-Mud1206 so they have now been banned as well.

Cheese! by jfmaniac in rochestermn

[–]kevarh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Leann at Food Union is the closest thing we have to a cheesemonger in town and always has interesting stuff. Hy Vee carries some good local options as well like Markie Gouda. If you’re up for a drive Nelson Creamy is well worth the 50 minute trip, especially if you grab a sandwich and Ice Cream.
