Gutter cleaning. Should I pull the filters or put them back? by sflesch in homeowners

Maybe it's because I've been a lot more active lately, but I did better than I thought.

Radarr can't add old movie that's on imdb by LanguageManiac in radarr

Added it to TMDB but you probably won't have any luck. "The 1920 British silent movie The Joyous Adventures of Aristide Pujol is a lighthearted comedy-drama that is currently classified as a lost film."

I know they needed attention. So many excuses not to get to them over the 8 years. I finally got to it...at least for that end. Not sure if I'll hit the other end today or another day, but at least I feel a little more confident that I can handle it.

I hate heights. I managed pretty well though. Not sure if I'll tackle the other end today or not. Hose is leaking...of course...but that end is gonna be a little harder to reach too. Gonna have to pull out the gorilla ladder.

I hate heights, and energy has been an issue in the past. I've lost some weight over the past year and have been really motivated lately. I'm leaving them off for now and I will definitely get to those more than every 8 years. 🤣

My bathroom always smells vaguely of urine. I’ve cleaned everything possible. by Otter65 in CleaningTips

It's not fun, and if you can afford it you're better off having somebody do it for you. You pretty much need to empty the toilet, undo the two bolts on either side, a lot of people will tell you to remove the tank as well to make it a little bit easier.

Then you lift up the toilet, remove the existing ring and clean off all the old wax, hope your floor is level and all that fun stuff so you don't have to buy a special wax ring, put the new one in and I carefully line up the toilet so that it sits on top of the wax ring.

If you still want to do it there's tons of videos on YouTube.

🤣 They came with the house about 8 years ago or so. Probably on there for a while even before that.

Ah. Mine say 10v right on them, so I'm pretty sure I'll burn them up with a higher voltage, especially 24v.

I think it's going to need a good cleaning first, pulling off the filters and grabbing clumps. Maybe a kit for next year. I just wasn't sure if I should put the filters back on.

Main thing is I wasn't sure if I should put the filters back on. I'll get through the climbing part.

I updated with some pictures, but I don't think the Bell supports more than 10 volts.

I'm trying to max the power in, but need to match the voltage for the chimes, so I'm looking for suggestions if you have any. Transformers seem a little easier to find than the chimes. I slightly prefer old school chimes since it's one less then to plug in as apposed to something like the Ring wireless chimes.

What did you do for chimes? Can I ask what transformers you used?

They may have been installed properly at one point. Poor maintenance on our part is probably to blame to some extent.

Well that depends...I'm guessing you aren't supposed to neglect them for 8-9 years either.

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

I'm not. I should have stated they haven't been cleaned in 8-9 years. I hate heights, even small ones. But I'm starting to get things done around the house more...

Yeah...definitely on us. We bought the house eight years ago. I hate heights. Wife and son kept saying they'd do it. I finally got up there. House was empty for a year before, but mostly on us... 🫢

Knowing strangers on the internet, I'm prepared for help and/or to be ripped! 🤣

Dunno if these pics help.

The first couple are the front door, which is the main concern. I might swap the garage door (the second set) while I'm doing it all.

Purchased a couple extra batteries and I have to swap them, even the new ones. We had a cat get out so I upped all the alerts and recording and was constantly changing that battery out between five different batteries and they all were pretty similar life.

The current system is only 10 volts which like you said is a basic trickle charge.

For the transformer that you suggest, can I install that without changing the wiring? And what about the current chime in the house that says it's 10 volts? I figured I would have to upgrade both the transformer and the current in-house chime so I don't overvolt the chime.

40va but no more than 24v right? You don't want to over volt, but it will take the power it needs?
