to @dcg9381 It is a super easy web GUI, dhcp, easy easy easy. No "cisco speak" required. Very easy. No it is not PoE "hot" out of the box. You have to use default user/pw to click the checkboxes for each port to enable the PoE. @Hank11 I don't want to give out bad advice. I don't know code...

IT person commenting: My wife and I are building a shed/workshop right now at our new property/house so I'm going through the same questions and things you are. I would 1000% run fiber so you can run all three (power, water, fiber) in same trench. You cannot run a 250-ft span of copper...

This is (mostly) all toilet related: The day of our first date, my wife closed on a 1052sqft house. It is a 3bd, 1ba ranch on a slab. (emphasis on slab/no basement) I proceeded to fall head over heels for her, then I shacked up with her, and then I systematically destroyed her house. I gutted...

Do you have dust collection? That's your answer. If you have dust collection run your power cord the same way you run your DC pipe. I have a 10" tilting table ts that plugs in overhead and the cord for my 12/14 cabinet saw runs along the floor on the outfeed side, basically along the dc flex hose.

Thanks for all the replies. MattT yes, I guess you are correct. I think the house was built in the late 1980's. I went to high school with a guy who is a 3rd year journeyman so was asking about 2017 because that's what our state is on and I assumed if he came over to take a look any work he...

Friends just bought a new-to-them house and I've never seen this before. He's got 2-pole 20A breakers supplying three circuits: Two 120V and one 240V circuit. Not mwbc, he's got three 12/2 wires going to each breaker, two 120v are hot-to-breaker then neutral/ground to bars then one 12/2...

Interesting you look at it that way. Aren't there differences in Concrete or asphalt? Or even dimensional lumber with drought and wet years so same two pieces get stamps but one has thicker sap rings than the other? With foam I was thinking about it being brittle or breaking down. Don't know...

Heh... I was thinking opposite: decrease rafter/truss spacing. I could swear that I saw a site from somewhere legit (maybe Green Building Advisor) that mentioned how rigid spray foam on underside of roof deck could be applied to span and structural tables within IRC or IBC. I must have been...

tycoonbob, I'd go get a lawyer. I think you are being too soft with the whole "I called my insurance company" thing. Reality: You said yes and wrote a check presumably to someone who was licensed and legit to build you a safe building and to Code. You also said that you did a dirt floor so you...

Get free washer/dryers on Craigslist. If I ever washed my shop clothes or rags in our house washer & dryer my wife would pull a Lorena Bobbitt the next time I went to sleep.

What type of heat? Usually when it is that cold humidity is down. More insulation will always help.

Doing some snow load and wind sheer numbers for solar panels. I think I've boxed myself into a corner. If I can't use structural values for spray foam insulation I'm going to have to go with shorter rafter/truss spacing and that's going to be a pain in the balls because it means custom panel...

I've never owned one. I'm a weekend warrior by trade. Is Starrett still the brand? I'm fine with buy once, cry once. Don't need something that can take daily abuse but I'd like to pass it on to my kids someday. What is the good "go-to" these days? Thanks.

You don't find that it degrades as soon as it gets humid, rains or snows? We found it extremely temperamental with UDP.

I mentioned I started with a little 5kW Coleman and suicide cord. It went from that to two 5kW portable generators. The final straw for us was fuel. Fuel was a pain in the ***. Well, the combination of fuel and needing to be home (to fill with fuel and no auto tx switch, no auto start). If you...
