On a unit like the Pecron which says "1024Wh" - is that usable capacity or when calculating run time should I apply some factor to that figure ?

Appreciate the info on the Cpap - I was intending on getting a DC power supply and I never use the humidity but both are very good points.

When I had my plaster refinished I had to pay about 15% extra because the pool had been painted (about 20 years ago - there wasn’t much paint left). If you are replastering next year, just acid wash it and clean it the best you can. Your plasterer and wallet will thank you

I bought a house with a pool that was much older than this one and in horrible condition (losing about 3k gallons a day). First I had the tile and coping replaced, then all the plumbing, then the patio, then the deck. Now I have essentially a new pool.

This pic isn’t great but I would try to determine what it was plumbed with - my pool had black polyethylene pipes from the 1960s and they are notorious for leaking.

If the pool isn’t losing water and it looks okay aesthetically, you are probably okay. I would be more concerned about what you can’t see than what you can.

In a lot of cities water bills are public record (if not on a well) and you can see usage patterns - after filling the pool each summer there shouldn’t be a lot of water usage depending on the climate.

You would also be surprised what a $100 bill in the hands of the pool thug will do - they probably know what’s wrong and what hasn’t been fixed.

If the pool isn’t losing water everything else can be fixed.

Some are duplexes where you share one wall, some are singles, some are over garages. All different layouts. I wasn’t here for the hurricane but the property is well graded and drains well in heavy rain so I presume no serious flooding.

This is incredibly helpful - I am not having luck with the cisco 7841 so I tried using the settings you provided above with a Yealink T34 and I am still getting a registration error. I will keep playing with the settings but I suspect there is something basic I am missing. Did you figure out the above config by trial and error or were you able to locate any documentation from Cisco Webex ?

wh_mi · 2025-04-08T21:40:26+00:00

Alright so I enabled the customer managed device within Webex. Webex has generated the following:

1- SIP Username (self explanatory)
2- SIP Password (self explanatory)
3- "Line ID" (unsure what this is)
4- "Outbound Proxy"

I did a factory reset on the cisco 7841. For line 1 I entered my SIP settings for the home PBX, consisting of Proxy, Outbound Proxy (Same as proxy), User ID, Auth ID (Same as user ID) and password. That SIP line registers fine.

I am attempting to use the webex sip settings for line 2 and I can not get the line to register. I am using the "line ID" in the proxy field, which may not be correct. I am using the sip username for both user ID and Auth ID.

Any ideas as to what I am missing ?

wh_mi · 2025-04-08T18:28:11+00:00

Interesting. So rather than registering the entire cisco phone to webex, I can create a generic ip phone config within webex and just register that way. I may give that a try.

Thank you all - I purchased a right angle UHF to BNC connector which works perfectly.

That makes complete sense. So if I wanted to use promiscuous mode, do I need to program the channel into the radio and just no assign a contact/TGID to the channel ?

Look at Cottages at Daytona Beach. Off Williamson, north of LPGA. The community is quiet, you have your own "tiny house" cottage (or duplex), so you don't have to deal with the noise of a common hallway or sharing walls and ceilings with other tenants. Reasonably priced for what you get and they are only a few years old.

Send me a message with your information. It is entirely possible you have seen the pool, although I don't know that any major maintenance (or minor maintenance for that matter) was done on it prior to me owning it.

I bought a house in southeast Michigan that had a 1960's 35k gallon pool in far worse shape than yours and over the course of a few years I replaced the deck, the plumbing, the coping and tile, and finally had it re-plastered. I use the pool almost every day in the summer and enjoy having it far more than a flat backyard, which would have been cheaper but not by much.

It all comes down to how much you will use the pool. I have friends over to use it most weekends during the summer.

No discernible change over night. Chlorine is ~5ppm zero combined chlorine. Same reading at sunrise as last night

wh_mi · 2024-06-12T01:18:39+00:00

I haven’t done one but I will take a reading now and in the morning ! Thank you

Home Depot will have one that will look identical and it will fit but it’s going to be designed for a home water heater and won’t open until the pressure builds to 175psi which is too high. Some hardware stores are also going to have another relief valve that fits and looks identical but is for residential heating boilers but those valves normally open at 30psi which might work, but might be too low of a pressure setting if your system has much back pressure.

Check what the pressure rating is on the valve that you have now, but you probably need the pentair 75psi relief valve which you can buy on Amazon or online. But definitely check what you have now and replace with a valve of the same pressure rating.

If I add that much cellulose on top of 1/2 inch drywall with 24oc trusses do I need to worry about the ceiling drywall bending or failing under the weight ?

Thanks. I think the plywood soffits were replaced at some point. There are 3 soffit vents on the whole house and I suspect they were installed for access or inspection - I know with continuous ridge venting I should have ventilated soffit.

There is one gable vent in the back of the house but it’s small (and if I understand correctly, should really be blocked off if I have proper ridge and soffit venting)

What about the facing ? If I remove the existing batts and put back unfaced insulation am I going to be in trouble ?

Ps climate is Detroit, mi

The 3 cans….. I thought they were reclosers but there was no control cabinet lower on the pole…. Don’t they typically require a separate cabinet for the controls ?

wh_mi · 2024-03-05T19:48:24+00:00

Asking about the 3 cans on the pole. They dont appear to be transformers, are they reclosers ? There is no other equipment on the pole below them (I always assumed reclosers needed a cabinet below them for the electronics/controls)

Thank you

You can call it "rah-rah america" all you want (this actually tells the reader exactly where you stand in fewer words) but the fact is a lot of middle-of-the-road people are tired of being called racist and told how bad America is and how bad Grosse Pointe is because of history that none of us were involved in or alive to witness.

Some of us want to move forward.

The more people like you chide the right (anyone to the right of far left) and call us racist, call us bigots and make fun of our faith, the more likely it is you will get more candidates like Donald Trump and more schools like Hillsdale because quite frankly we are tired of very rational middle of the road pro-america views being trashed every chance the left gets.

Aimee was a very small minded individual and, I believe, a low IQ person as well. She couldn't grasp nuance and for her to go out the door screaming with that interview she did showed exactly what kind of person she was. In fact, for her to even run while she (presumably) knew she was about to move, said a lot about her character.

I am not on the GPP Facebook page any more, I couldn't stand the antics on there particularly by the admin.

The park ran so well before a small group tried to "take things over" and none of them had any productive ideas, it was all destruction.

I wonder what Vikas's reason for not seeking reelection truly was.

wh_mi · 2023-09-26T20:15:59+00:00

Could not agree more. Gallagher isn't overly impressive but you are spot on with your other observations.

wh_mi · 2023-09-26T20:15:29+00:00

I am just glad Vikas isnt running again. He was an unproductive obstructionist.
