15 panels (4.5 kw) and 3 batteries (36kwh)!? That seems like a crazy amount of batteries for that amount of production. Definitely not geared towards just shaving time of use rate. It would take...

That does seem pretty cheap for Jackson but 240 man hours to complete sounds crazy (5x6x8). I had about 2,500 sqft painted, two coats and it took them 3 days with 3 guys so 72 man hours, cost was...

That’s what she said.

A 180 degree bend? Like a U? Or a right angle? Like a L

Why aren’t there more heat pumps that also produce hot water with waste heat in the summer when running as an AC? Seems like there are a few start ups doing this but that is it.

Also, I wonder...

I’d say it is worth it. I don’t know that 30 minutes will be enough to make a huge difference but more than the windows by themselves.

What kind of fan? The Quiet Cool line is nice and way...

You got TWO elevators in your house!? Baller

They also sell singles.

I can’t imagine that thing failing with 200lb on it. Safety factor has to be 4-5.

Our hot water will occasionally fade, not start up for a long time or get cooler. It’s typically brief but will last for a minute or two. This started a few weeks ago. We have a hot water...

18k should handle 550 sq Ft but I don’t know how you will get one installed for $2,500. The quotes I’ve gotten recently have been $8-10k although that includes pulling electric quite a ways. Looks...

I wish I was off by a decimal. The AQI I listed should be pretty close to accurate. We were 12-25 miles from the Mosquito fire and when the air was drifting to us under an inversion it was awful. ...

Anyone have experience sealing their house? I’m looking to significantly reduce outside air intrusion primarily for when it is smokey but also for efficiency. I have a 3 year old who has mild...

Have you tried a garbage can sized load of self leveler?

We had a guy fall off a ladder, he sued the property owner who we had to indemnify (so he got workers comp plus lost wages and medical costs). Not sure exactly how he got around workers comp but he...

Most adjusting companies forbid using any ladders over 20’. Any higher use a drone or get a bucket / lift. It just isn’t worth the risk.

Sorry.


Foothills of California. Basically never freezes. Highs in the 90s and 100s in the summer.

Home is decently insulated but not great. Stucco and 2x4 walls. Fairly shaded. 12” of...

Hvac question.

Currently have two old hvac systems. 3 and 5 ton I think. Gas furnaces. Seer of 12.

Looking to replace them with a high efficiency system that will last a long time, we...

Maybe this belongs in the wildfire thread but my attic has two types of vents, small hole vents with metal screens in the soffit and large gable ventswith screens. 384312

Regarding heat load, anyone have experience with external window shades? We have a bunch of large windows in our great room that heat it up significantly. Seems like exterior motor driven window...

Definitely couldn’t mix, pour, skreed and finish 150 bags by hand. I definitely don’t like the idea of doing it by hand, don’t think getting it pumped in is very economic as I think I’ll end up with...

I’m worried that’ll be around $5k for a 150 sq ft slab because it is such a small job. Guess I should call around.

Can you get the electrician and the adjuster on the phone at the same time? Have the electrician talk him through it and say fire hazard a bunch and that he won’t do the job without replacing it. ...

I’m no contractor nor architect but isnt the proper fix to keep that water away from the outside of the foundation? Is any residential foundation going to keep that kind of pressure out for years?
