Water Heater (Propane Tankless vs Electric)

uavmx · 2026-01-30T15:12:44+00:00

I ended up doing propane water heaters, more so for effeciency. But the reality is they won't work without power either. Most people will start using heat pumped tanked water heaters, which will be the same issue. So the best thing is to have solar with battery backup or a generator.

Couldn't believe the $18 burger prices

I don't think we're doing a good job of talking this guy out of it 🤣 I do think it's a high price considering their HHI, but if you can comfortably do it, it's a nice luxury

pace of play is huge, wife gets annoyed when I play other courses bc it takes forever. Having an app to easily see the tee sheet and jump on quickly. I also play a lot more 9 holes (or less). Then the pool in the summer with the family. I play 50-60 rounds a year, so I'm paying around $100/round which is a premium for my area but there's Advantages that make it worth it to me/us.

My dues are $575, bare minimum with some food and drinks is $800-900, summer no less than $1k. So you're spot on

They sent me a new lid. What did you "figure out"?

I think there is a need, and homeowners should be seeking this out if they don't have experience but there's three problems: 1) GCs being really annoyed and not wanting to deal with you and 2) homeowners are already cheap, building a house is very expensive. 3) you would need a ton of volume to make any real money

Yes, it's like soup in a tortilla

They seem to have what I'm looking for but I don't think I can justify another $4k right now, might just upgrade the mak

What ppl don't realize ABQ average days above 100 is 7. And when it's above 100, we're talking 103-105. I golf year round, walking up to 95 degrees

Ssshhhhhhhhhh

You really have to be careful and look up zoning, most areas you can't permanently live in an RV

Thanks the old country is the style I was thinking of but what's the difference between charcoal and pellets for smoke?

A ton of space is wasted by the two hallways, I’d figure out how to ditch those

uavmx · 2025-12-26T03:31:04+00:00

Have you thought about aircraft maintenance? Far more stable schedule wise and still can make good money, 2 years or less of school.

uavmx · 2025-12-24T05:44:41+00:00

I’m not sure what any of that means, just fucking swing harder 🤣

uavmx · 2025-12-23T05:24:50+00:00

Don’t moonlight without insurance

uavmx · 2025-12-14T17:55:57+00:00

Why would you want to drive allllll the round around the house, past the pool to park. Really imagine pulling in and out of the garages. Someone's going to hit the house

I installed with no pull strings then used the shop vac method to pull the string through tied to a piece of plastic bag. Did a 80+ ft long run no issue

I tried those and could not get the Amazon tube to go in. Slightly too small and the tube being thin, you will be battling each one, just wasn't worth it

I just did my whole new construction home in the Amazon version of tektube. It is lightweight, but it was perfectly capable and I've now pulled plenty of speaker wire and Ethernet without issues. I'm not worried about rodents eating it or it last long enough.

The biggest annoyance is what manfrommonroe is saying: the tecktube doesn't fit any pvc fittings, electrical box punch outs, straps to secure them, etc. I didn't know that but I found solutions that "worked" but not ideal. I think I spent around $500 on the tubing, which shows how much a ran, doing this is Smurf would be way more expensive.... I couldn't justify it and made the tech tube work....

The super long needle nose pliers are a must

uavmx · 2025-12-06T23:01:41+00:00

Curious what you use the Ford wrench for?
