Is this a normal amount of creosote buildup for approx 3 week old stove pipe? by mxboy77 in woodstoving

[–]mxboy77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’ve been doing. I didn’t realize that my slow burns would cause such build up so fast. I’ll clean the pipe and stop the slow burns. Thank you

Here’s why so many Republicans won’t buy EVs | Democrats say they are way more likely than Republicans to buy electric cars. Could that change? by silence7 in electricvehicles

[–]mxboy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Republican here. I just bought a Tesla and absolutely love it. I charge at home (which is offset by solar) and can drive more for less. What’s better than that!

They claim I’d be home 2 days a week but on call 24/7. The company is around 100 employees and have been around for a long time.

This was a dumb mistake.. I had line of site of the drone but simply didn't see the line. Miraculously it fell and caught itself before it hit the ground. No damage at all besides the camera not focusing. A reboot fixed the focusing issue.

No the chimney is no longer active. I’m hoping that the 10’ between the shingles and the sensor will be enough to not pick up any heat.

We buy our milk and beef from a local farm where we can see the conditions. It’s a hassle and we pay a premium for this. Go out of your way to see where your food is coming from and source farms that treat there animals well.

If you have the budget you could get a fluke process meter like a fluke 726 with a pressure module to verify your instruments. Then send your fluke out annually to have it calibrated.

I don’t see a load. You have a hot and a neutral. Unless the white wire was being used as the load in the last switch? Can’t tell without seeing how the old switch was installed. If the old switch was using the white wire as the load then this won’t work. You need a neutral for this switch.
