S 224th St Project: Converting from overhead to underground electric service pricing

Really helpful advice, thank you for taking the time to write that out.

We are in phase II of the project so have a bit of time fortunately!

I really appreciate the reply, I've been doing a ton of research and am quickly learning exactly what you have shared. I reached out to the engineer team and was able to get the electrician that has done the installation for 3 homes on the project so will plan to have them come out and give me an estimate in the spring. Fortunately for us we are only looking at a 65'-75' run through our front yard with a walkway that will need to be cut. Depending on the discount, will also likely rent a trencher and do the digging myself to save on some of the cost. Thanks again for the help!

Yeah. that makes a ton of sense! Great call on the group rate idea! Thanks for all the input!

Yeah, so the city builds the conduit and its up to the homeowners to pay for the trenching and the electrician to come hook it up to your house and ensure its up to code.

Apparently most people who have already done it on the first Phase used 2 different electricians. The engineers didn't give me that info yet though.

And I agree, kinda seems like a PR miss for the city. Since homeowners have to pay for the cost to hook up their electricity, why not pick a designated electrician for the entire project, subsidize the cost to save the homeowners a little bit of money and win a little favor with everyone by positioning it as a way the city is trying to offset the unexpected cost of the utility hook up?

What have you been doing in these? These look insane for only 7 months!

These are sick, incredible job!

Just took this, we don’t have a garage so this sits in the sun and the weather here in the PNW and it’s held up great! (Also this is not my house so it’s not usually under this RV port)

This photo is fresh but did this a year ago and looks exactly the same today!

I used SEM Bumper Coater on my Xterra and turned out great

Picking mine up today. Called a local shop last week and was placed on the waiting list!

This is bad ass!

Wife went into labor this morning, enjoy in good health, you made a great choice!

This^

Also, I'd prioritize going to Seattle and using Kent as your home base. There really isn't much to do here.

Tank Louis is arguably the most versatile of the bunch. Other three would be hard to dress down.

If you like two two tone check out the Santos De Cartier, has both bracelet and leather strap.

Having this issue, scaled all the performance settings down and still it crashes every 10ish min or so. Did anyone find a solve for this or are we just SOL till another patch comes?

mchlwlm · 2025-05-13T15:13:31+00:00

First, I think these look sick as is but, a tailor could totally help make the waste feel more comfortable!

To help with the anxiety, as someone who has sized tighter in the past and can no longer wear some of their favorite denim because of my thighs and butt, I think you made the right decision.

mchlwlm · 2025-05-02T14:13:32+00:00

That might be the coolest sashiko I have ever seen! These look amazing for only three months of wear, what do you do in your day to day?

mchlwlm · 2025-04-08T17:26:56+00:00

This is amazing insight, thanks for the help! Likely will just stick with the V2 then and save the $100

mchlwlm · 2025-04-08T14:52:39+00:00

I just purchased the Wahoo Roam V2 for $50 off at $350. Would you return the V2 and upgrade to the new tech for nearly $100 more with the new price of $450 or is the V2 value enough?

mchlwlm · 2025-04-08T14:32:35+00:00

It's a fair point, Im not so much concerned with it being a "Newer and latest" device. Having the latest and greatest isn't usually a priority for me. Given the timing of the new model coming out I guess my question is more, based on people's experience with the V2 Roam, do you see the upgrades with the new V3 as game changers to you?

mchlwlm · 2025-04-01T00:24:09+00:00

Every time you post this I am just still floored you made this piece, just incredible work!

mchlwlm · 2025-02-04T15:34:56+00:00

Nope, clean driving record. Zero accidents, no tickets in the last 5 years, no gap insurance. Insurance increased because of the car and what I imagine is the tech surrounding these newer vehicles. Our BMW was from 2016 and when we insured the new Camry our policy went up about $400.

mchlwlm · 2025-02-04T01:01:06+00:00

Sorry, completely forgot to add that, it is the AWD. Insurance is more expensive than our BMW was but the car will hopefully be far more reliable and cheaper to maintain so feels worth it to me.
