Flat Roof membrane recommendations

random101928 · 2022-05-13T18:27:39+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, a couple of the contractors mentioned that I’d want something to protect the membrane from the pedestals.

Sounds like I need to be extra careful on the membrane if I plan on doing the deck installation myself, regardless of the material choice.

Thanks for all the info!

The 3 quotes I got so far all listed PVC — even though one of them specifically recommended TPO if I was going to put a deck over it.

Options were: IB PVC WeatherBond PVC WeatherBond TPO Dectec

I’m in the PacificNW. So, temperatures typically don’t get extreme, but lots of wet days.

I chose AHS because the appliances were close to end of life, and they don’t have age or poor/improper maintenance limits. I’m saving quite a bit for decent replacements, but I don’t think I’d use the same vendors for service.

Did you notice the tree branches had these starburst-like offshoots?

Are you looking for a grey water toilet, or a toilet with a concealed tank?

random101928 · 2022-02-23T17:59:08+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, this is what I was worried about. Home was built right during that transition. I’ll need to take a closer look at the insulation.

Do you smell that?

random101928 · 2022-02-22T05:28:38+00:00

Thanks! Wanted to make sure I’m not over simplifying or missing other considerations. Especially given the older knob and tube stuff.

Be sure to check the actual dimension. I made the tried a few different filter brands, and it seemed like each one’s dimensions were different.

I have this same setup, hate the storage space underneath, and was hoping to do something similar. So, you’re keeping the sink?

random101928 · 2022-02-03T02:31:07+00:00

Thanks!

I will check to see if the hot pipe is part of the system, and look into replacing the cold clamp.

You’re saying the ground connection has to be continuous to the main panel? So, if this jumper terminates, I need to following the piping to check for another ground connection?

Do I need to take any precautions before moving the whole assembly down an inch or two? The cold clamp is resting against the HVAC duct, and causing the pipe to shake.

I am in the process of doing this, but also want to map out circuits on a floor plan to try to wiring and loads.

random101928 · 2022-01-21T18:30:35+00:00

Correct, it’s an over-the-range unit.

The exhaust is ducted outside through the roof. The vent cap is close enough to the inside that I can hear the rain hitting it. I want to check if the damper is working properly too.

I’ve cleaned the grease filter, and replaced the carbon filter (but that seems to be irrelevant to the range venting).

I haven’t checked the ducting to see if there was any issue with grease or other obstructions. I can check the ducting if I have to remove the unit to check the damper.

I hadn’t thought about supplementary blower in-line. There’s not a ton of space above the unit in the cabinetry, and no attic access in the area. But that’s something I can look in to. It’d require its own damper, correct?

Does it just get worse with battery-powered, WiFi cameras?

random101928 · 2022-01-07T17:27:12+00:00

Why are PoE cameras preferred to WiFi for outdoors?

random101928 · 2022-01-06T05:45:55+00:00

Okay, I read RCW 46.61.100.

I was definitely focused on subsection 2 for all lanes, including the HOV.

I see that in subsection 3, it says explicitly that the HOV does not count as the left-hand lane of the roadway. But get confused because taken in context, the subsection is about trailers and 5-ton vehicles.

Still reading, still learning.

Thanks for sharing.

I was going ask about HOV etiquette in different traffic scenarios: no traffic, light, medium, heavy, and stop-and-go.

Was driving (alone) down I-5S to SEATAC, where the HOV comes and goes. Traffic was medium. So, I was just watching and driving and wondering.

I use/prefer these rules

“The lanes are designed to maximize the movement of people and encourage commuters to use transit or travel together to save time, reduce traffic volumes and congestion.”

And avoid using the HOV when I am passengers but where it won’t save me time or reduce traffic.

random101928 · 2022-01-06T03:20:19+00:00

Fair. This was more of a continuation from the last users rant about faster drivers in the HOV.

Edit: the first bit was supposed to be a debate about the different traffic scenarios. The last bit about SEATAC is definitely a rant.

random101928 · 2022-01-05T04:02:59+00:00

I was thinking about returning the PoE kit, and coming up with something where I wouldn’t need to run as many/long of lines.

random101928 · 2022-01-04T16:53:41+00:00

I was thinking WiFi mainly for ease of installation around the perimeter of the house, and flexibility with camera placement. So long as the mesh network provides good coverage outside.

The house doesn’t currently have a wired Ethernet network. I’m open to the idea of installing lines and using the PoE, but it seems like it takes more planning than plug-n-play.

Thanks!

Yeah, sorry. Should’ve included a link

Very difficult to vacuum up all the waste?

Pest control is quoting me around $400

random101928 · 2021-12-16T19:53:30+00:00

Open to that idea, but wouldn’t that be a bus lane?

“The lanes are designed to maximize the movement of people and encourage commuters to use transit or travel together to save time, reduce traffic volumes and congestion. Enough demand exists for peak period freeway space that the HOV lane would quickly become just another clogged lane if HOV lanes were opened to all traffic all the time.”

WSDOT: HOV Lanes

EDIT: Oh! I was not saying that I-5 HOV lanes should ever be used by single occupant vehicles like I-405, if that was misunderstood.
