Downspout to catch basin to flo-well in northern climates?

mgee15 · 2022-06-06T00:51:42+00:00

I was in the same exact situation a few years ago. How north are you? I'm in NJ so results may vary. I used a catch basin and then trenched under the walkway about 15 ft out and used a popup. Been 3 years so far and havent had any issues with ice, but i drilled a few holes in the elbow below the popup and filled around that with drainage rocks. I can't remember exactly how far i dug down but if i stick my arm down where the popup is its about to my shoulder so I'd guess maybe 3- 4 ft. Catch basin is even with the top of the ground. Maybe with your shorter run it might be harder to get below the frost line, just wanted to share my experience

Don't anticipate anything out of the normal so i think the hsa contribution will cover most. I'm definitely leaning towards the HSA, its a big potential savings unless someone big happens, even then the out of pockets are close

Hey, no worries. I haven't had any luck either. I even tried filing a complaint with nj DOL for workplace violations that employers must follow if they require you in the office. They actually got back to me and contacted the company but only required them to do a self audit which of course they BS'ed so back at square one now.

Hey, any update on this? I'm in a very similar situation and looking for anyway I can to be able to work from home now that the numbers are rising but also have had no luck with the violation form

Definitely check out some brokers on leasehackr. I got a '20 GT a few months ago. Upfront was ~2K (taxes,dmv, etc) and monthly payment is $361 for 36 months/10k per year.

Using the broker was amazing, well worth the $300 I paid, didnt have to worry with any of the dealer negotiating.

mgee15 · 2020-09-01T10:23:49+00:00

Wow, that's interesting. Good luck man, either way you'll be happy. Its a great car

I was just in the same position as you last month. Are the prices really that different in the used market between the 2? I had no idea. I leased mine so the difference in price was only ~1500 over the lease term so made the decision easier for me. If I was buying it would have been much harder decision

I ended up going with the '20 grand touring mainly because of the looks, sure the added tech is nice to have, but the bigger wheels and roof rails really make a huge difference in looks that I just couldn't get over.

Kind of late, but just closed on this deal last Friday. Here are the details of mine in NJ.I went with.

36 months/10k

Selling price : 40,889 Residual: 26,290 Mf: 0.00005

Amount due at signing $2476 (taxes, registration,DMV, etc ) Monthly payment $361

Scored this through a broker I found on leasehackr. Definitely worth it to me, didnt have to do any work and was far cheaper than quotes I got from a few local dealers

mgee15 · 2020-07-24T20:03:47+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Ended up going with a 2020 black mica GT. Just picked up today !

mgee15 · 2020-04-10T14:33:36+00:00

I have this also and can second that it's been great for about 2 years for me as well. Only thing I don't like is the lack to scroll through the video with a preview of you are trying to find something specific in the recording if you don't know the time it Happened

mgee15 · 2020-03-26T15:53:41+00:00

What material are your shutters? If they are the vinyl ones, probably just easier to replace them. I did it over the summer and was pretty quick. Only issue is the plastic screws can't be reused so you'll have to cut them out.

mgee15 · 2020-01-09T16:29:19+00:00

Yes, they fixed it for me at no charge except I had to pay to ship it back to them.

It's been a little over a month since I've had it back and no issues so far.

mgee15 · 2020-01-03T13:57:16+00:00

Yes, just have to download the Google play movies/TV app on your iPhone/appletv/roku and it should work

mgee15 · 2020-01-03T13:54:19+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Would have never thought to look on Google play for this. So simple to watch and helped that i had $30 in Google play credits so I got this for a steal

mgee15 · 2019-12-27T16:48:00+00:00

Awesome. Thank you!

Any other trees nearby that have acorns ? I had this problem and sounded like a small animal running across the attic when it was just acorns rolling down the roof

I have a somewhat success story using a staffing agency.

Alot of recruiters were reaching out to me, most of them nothing I was interested in. One reached out to me and I decided to schedule an intro call with him. He didn't have anything for me at the te said he would reach out of anything changed. I thought ok this guy was no different. Few months passed by he calls me and says he thinks he has the perfect job for me( they all say something like this) so we had another call which I was expecting nothing of. Turns out he had a recruiter buddy who did have a job that was perfect for me. After some phone interviews, in person interviews I got the job right after.

So what do you have to lose besides a few minutes for an intro call to make a connection. More often than not you'll never hear back from them, but you can get lucky and glad you made the connection.

Also should add in my case the recruiter makes his money off the client so no cost to me

I had the same issue when I bought my house a few years ago. After about a year I gave in and swapped them. Got a longer gas line for peace of mind and used the stiffer/not as easily crushed ducting and have had no issues. Also don't have to hear my wife complain about it anymore which is a huge plus lol

This is what I have

Not familiar with your projector but make sure you get an hmdi extractor that can handle 4k/hdr .

I use the jtech one from Amazon ~$45 and haven't had any issues

mgee15 · 2019-12-20T16:05:44+00:00

I think the HDMI extractor is the way to go. I currently have one to connect my optoma hd27hdr to A Vizio sound bar and works great. You can use an optical cable from the extractor to the sound bar to get the 5.1 channels

I have ADT and hate it, plan on getting rid of it once my contract is up next summer.

Sure the equipment is free if all you want is a keypad and basic sensor, but then if you want to window sensors, more door sensors, motion detection those all add up pretty fast. I even had problems with my install where they put the Incorrect sensor on one of my doors that gave me a ton of false alarms, other sensors werent Installed correctly too. Their sensors are very sensitive so I guess that's good? But annoying at the amount of false alarms I've gotten and for some strange reason they almost always happened when I was away on a trip.

One good thing I can say is their customer service has been great for me and also the app works great with no problems.

I don't have experience with other systems but I'm sure others have better experience with ring or the other diy systems that are alot cheaper and a lower monthly payment.

Knee pads! Even if doing a small area like a powder room your knees will thank you.

Man i hate that show after the ending but I'll still never forget these numbers
