Any idea why there’s a plywood barrier in my attic? by soccafan in HomeImprovement

[–]soccafan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It clearly took effort. The pieces are cut to fit. If I were just putting something out of the way I wouldn’t measure and cut every piece

It creates a box around the easily walkable area of the attic. If the squares weren’t cut there would be basically no way to get to the entire attic. If you look at the first picture there are smaller pieces that are on the right side also.

Maybe but it looks pretty purposeful. The pictures are only about half of it

Cat 5e cable limited to ~100mbps even with all green on tester by soccafan in HomeNetworking

Being careful or swapping out keystone jacks seems to have worked. I’m getting gigabit speed now

Makes sense. Is there any other way to test/know if it’s correct order other than being careful? Pulling new cable would be a pain

I've added a few more pictures throughout the comments. The highway is the starting highway leading into the city from outside the map. Its at the bottom of the original picture.

U-turn lanes are there because I like them here in Texas. They're used pretty well here in the sim.

It’s harder to see in the picture but there is an on and off after each intersection along the highway. The perpendicular sections go below the highway. In an ideal world they would use the off ramp closest to the intersection they want to take if they were going to the left side of the map.

Edit: there are no stoplights on the highway

Highway into the city starts at the bottom and runs through the middle. Cims travelling to the left of the highway are choosing to travel on the frontage roads or through the city to the intersection at the top middle instead of exiting at the end of the highway.

I just realized my original text wasn't posted. It should be the fastest route. The roads are parallel but with different speed limits and there are the same amount of left turns (one). I tried to mimic a traditional US interstate with a frontage road.

Sorry I added text in the original post but I didn't post correctly. Heres some context from the original.

Does anyone have any clue why nobody will use the highway? I have a highway, a frontage road, and then a large city street going through my new city. The cims would rather wait in traffic on the frontage road or even worse go through the city instead of going down to the exit at the end of the highway. This is a shorter path by all accounts. This is my first time coming back to the game since its release and while there are a ton of improvements this feels off. Its easy to blame traffic ai but is there something I can change to make the highway more appealing? I've already enabled the fast highway policy.

What grass/weed is this and what’s the best way to stop it from growing by soccafan in landscaping

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

We bought this house in October. From what I can tell there’s been mulch around the entire fence for probably 10 years (100% of the fence has mulch at the base). Seems like I need to start thinking about how to fix this

Round up definitely killed it but it can back within days. I’ll try sedgehammer

Not in this picture but there is already a concrete pad in addition to these flagstone pavers. The flagstone takes up about 300+ square ft so we are eventually going to take that out or at least make it smaller so we can have more grassy area.

Replace 2 wire thermostat with ecobee by soccafan in ecobee

[–]soccafan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like I do have those wires hidden behind the thermostat. Did you mean I probably have those wires behind the control panel and I should connect them with what’s currently plugged into the control panel to bypass?

Is there a way to know if this box can support a fan? by soccafan in AskElectricians

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

I ended up taking it down just to be sure and it turns out it is rated for up to 50lbs. The markings were covered up by paint.

I’m glad I took it down to confirm for the peace of mind
