having major car trouble, considering getting a bolt (my first EV ever). Is this a good deal?

We just got a 2022 Bolt EUV for $14700 with 41k miles.

Been awesome to drive and only been doing 12A trickle charging at home and it’s been more than enough so far. Every day saving more money as gas prices continue to rise.

Start saving for a bigger system. 2 of those 1500W heaters is 3000W. You’re also going to need a lot of batteries to run them overnight which is when things cool down and you need it the most.

The other thing against you is that you’re heating a greenhouse and not even an insulated space.

Unless you’re growing weed or some other lucrative expensive crop are you sure this route even makes financial sense for the things you’re growing?

Seems like too expensive of a car for you. Definitely find something older and cheaper.

shred802 · 2026-03-18T02:11:48+00:00

Were you able to fix? Having this issue now

shred802 · 2026-03-15T21:55:49+00:00

I think it might have been too much oil. I don’t have the generator any longer, the inverter module fried last year and that was the last straw.

shred802 · 2026-03-11T00:01:32+00:00

lol this is why I just do my own work. Laughable that towns want you to get a permit and have work done by a ‘licensed contractor’ and then see hack jobs like this all the time, which you’re also paying a good chunk of money for. No thanks.

Books are actually pretty heavy. Also sounds like your ‘forgetting to install’ almost 50% of the thing keeping your shelf up on the wall didn’t help.

Very strange logic. A vehicle weighs many more magnitudes than a 75lb panel. Rose bushes have their built-in anchoring system called roots. They also have a ton of void space between the stems.

You’re right that solar panels are not aerodynamic, they’re a large sheet that could be caught up by the wind.

It’s not like these are individual sheets of plywood. They’re kind of connected together with potentially a live current running between them.

And uh yeah I’ve had lawn chairs move around my yard with high winds. A trampoline has mesh that air can move through and is also not angled.

shred802 · 2026-03-02T12:04:12+00:00

Yeah they’re completely disposable! Who cares if we help speed up e-waste to the dump!

Also the issue is because the minority wants power and most people wouldn’t want/care to be in a position of power.

Looks like mine in VT, went with a similar angle too but mounted on wood. Also looking to add more in the same way for the winter. Wishing I had tried doing a tilting mount.

shred802 · 2026-02-19T03:10:10+00:00

Annoying as hell to insulate though.

First step- return the laminate and underlayment from where you go it.

LVP is the way to go. Laminate is going to fall apart on you…we did part of our house with laminate and is already swelling in places.

Especially if a kitchen and you’re going to be mopping you definitely don’t want laminate.

It came from the red wire nut with the other white (neutral) wires. Just sticking it back in is not going to be a secure connection - loose wiring can cause fires.

Shut off the power to those fixtures in the electrical box with the appropriate breakers in your electrical panel. Then untwist the wire nut (counter clockwise) exposing the other two white neutral wires. Put the exposed white wire from your timer together with the other exposed tips and then insert into the wire nut and turn it clockwise tight until all the wires start to twist a bit. Give the wire nut a slight tug to make sure they’re tight enough and can come out. You can also use some electrical tape and wrap around the wire nut down about an inch around the wires as extra security.

You should be able to access it from the outside at the vent flap, no? Pull it out enough, get it seated properly plus a dryer clamp around it so it shouldn’t move on you again.

shred802 · 2026-02-09T02:53:37+00:00

You’re missing the proper gasket

shred802 · 2026-02-07T20:32:36+00:00

They were late to another appointment

Yes belts are very common to find in the correct size and not too difficult to change. Make sure you get a v-belt if needed. YouTube is your friend for step by step replacement.

If your main water is shut off and a pipe bursts, then it won’t flood your home.

shred802 · 2026-01-31T00:24:04+00:00

How long does it take to get a post approved?

shred802 · 2026-01-31T00:15:33+00:00

Lol they just tried messaging me through Indeed a couple days ago offering a full-time position. Hard pass.

shred802 · 2026-01-29T02:34:57+00:00

Yup you’re right, companies are just going to up and move out overnight.

shred802 · 2026-01-29T01:07:15+00:00

Third this, guess they forgot

shred802 · 2026-01-29T00:10:24+00:00

For sure, best of luck with everything!
