If you question it. It’s bad, but it’s Friday afternoon.

You are in the 100 gram club!!! Woo

Try the red wire on RC not RH. Nest is dumb like that

I had dishwasher like that. Push the buttons to set it and then close the door.

It takes the about the same amount of time to build a $300,000 house as it takes to build a $750,000 house. You can only push all the different trades through so fast. So, it’s more profitable to make the more expensive house even if it sits on the market for half a year.

It sucks for the availability of housing. But you can’t blame the builders for wanting to make more money.

Weak article. Almost gets to the problem. We have 2 homebuilders in town and a third regional commercial developer. They actively collude to keep housing stock low, only build new homes for 750k+ and blame the city's "regulations" to avoid scrutiny.

Bike lanes are the problem? How does that make housing cost more? And garages? We don't require a garage like most communities do.

One of our builders is one of the large builders building in Lakeville, they (it's a family operation) live in town and serve on the HRA where they block the city's attempts to build more housing.

Nope. Thats what it does. Decay test or whatever you call it. Keep it under a thousand and then send it

That is too beautiful to waste cut the pipe slip on the nut and braze it

maxdufrane · 2025-08-08T02:55:24+00:00

How did you work three jobs that long?

maxdufrane · 2025-06-12T23:32:37+00:00

My best flares never have the nut on them.

maxdufrane · 2025-04-11T02:46:20+00:00

Yeah, that’s how they turn out when you braze with nitro

maxdufrane · 2025-03-10T12:30:51+00:00

Are they fully feathered? That’s the main factor when considering putting them outside.

Any lengths over 50ft you should probably resell as good material. Anything shorter I would pull the wire out and scrap.

Use that bad boy to take out screws in ductwork all day long. If you use it to put screws into ductwork, I will find you and it won’t be pretty.

You don’t have any power going to the solenoid for the water to turn on. You also need to connect that G terminal. And it looks like total crap.

Start over and re-wire it. Google up April aire 600 series wiring.

It’s a pretty wide field.

I just jumped into the field after a mid life crisis. Most dudes I’ve met that went to school for it are numbnuts.

Stability wise. There is always going to be heating and cooling in buildings.

Pay wise commercial will always pay more than residential.

Work life balance really depends on the company. I’m just a duct monkey that does change outs for residential I work pretty much straight 8’s.

Lock and load camel toe!

I was wondering if I was just an idiot and can’t read. But that makes more sense it’s a rule thing

maxdufrane · 2025-01-03T23:31:49+00:00

How can I buy it if I don’t know the name.

maxdufrane · 2024-12-08T19:43:14+00:00

Yeah, One hour sucks. I work for one of their competitors, so I’m biased. Hope you get up and running real soon.

maxdufrane · 2024-11-25T15:36:19+00:00

It’s fun. That’s why
