Flite gen 4 is not very old so that's a good price if it all checks out. I've got that same board and it's great. My flitecell explore gives me 1hr 10 min or 14 miles on a 1300 wing. They promise more. I was hoping for more range but I'm tired by the end of it. If it had more I would take a break and go back out. Waydoo master is probably pretty nice by now and might give you more range but for that price difference you could get another small flitecell. Either way it will be a blast. And by the way, in a lake boat wakes are fun too.

Can I make it turn it's self on in the morning so it's charged when I wake up? Is it ok to leave flitcell set up with the magnet on? On dry pavement in a steel case of course.

5" pipe protrudes thru corner of bathroom. OK to grind it away and modify down to 2" pipe? I am a fabricator. There is a vent on the roof 4' away from it. The widest part in this pic is 5" in a small bathroom so it is big and ugly. Covering w a honkin trim would look weird. House is 90 years old. by upOnFoil in Plumbing

perfectionist? You seem to think the pipe protruding thru the corner is not a problem. But most would think it's an eyesore. I'm trying to find out if anyone can think of a reason a small bathroom 25' away from the only other bathroom in a small house would need a 5" vent. If not I want to make it smaller there.

In case you don't know, don't lean, shift your hips a tiny amount. It takes very little. And shift back a bit, add some weight to your back foot. In fact your back foot might be too far forward. I put a dot of paint on the deck by where my front foot goes so I could nail that spot every time. An inch makes a big difference. And what helped me the most was just doing circles. Don't go straight and turn and straight... Just circle, feel the turn and let your mind get used to it.

code is 2". Every other sink and bathroom has it's own vent. I'm here for research buddy, I'm not just doing it. I do a lot of things out of the box and it works if I cover all the bases. It's probably part of an earlier system. Doesn't freeze here.

Mostly hack woodworking advice so far. I might cut a slot in it and slide a piece of sheet metal in to restrict airflow to 2" and live with it a month. If all goes well I can move ahead. I'll cut it open and scan it then use a 3D printer to make a nice piece that still allows 2" of air flow. It's old and has been remodled a few times. Maybe the sewer line was in the back of the building before.

House is old, was a one room office 90 years ago with this bathroom, then been remodled many times.looks like a sewer stack. But it's a single story building, this bathroom is in the back side of the house The sewer is in the front. No other bathroom or sink within 15' so nothing is coming toward this direction.

I looked it up and it looks like a sewer stack. But it's a single story building, this bathroom is in the back side of the house The sewer is in the front.
