    How to get a 42U server cabinet up stairs with one person

    This ^^^^^^ I got rid of all the servers at the house, and refuse to put any in for clients. It is too much space and too much $$ to provide power for them. It works out to about $15 a month each. Cheaper to move to the cloud. A 42U rack holds about 20 servers when you allow for cooling, so...

    Cracked deck joist fix

    just replace it since no deck boards are on it or it will forever bug you that you didn't.

    Forward looking

    Everyone here seems to be in denial that these changes are really happening. It is like watching a 16-year-old who says, "maybe no one will see that I am pregnant."

    Recommendations for Home A/C Filters

    I added one of these and put it in the garage with the hose thru the wall next to the filter, and when it starts to rise too much it is time to replace the filter, or when seven to nine months passes, whichever comes first. Mine shows about .23 when new with AC on (high blower speed), then when...

    I NEED A 56,000 CFM CEILING FAN WITH A 56" BLADE

    yeah, his roof flew over a couple hours ago with him hanging on for dear life. Wait until the extension cord plays all the way out or the battery pack runs out. Long way to the ground.

    used 24 x 32 pole barn

    yes, almost as good as fill dirt, $10 yard, must guarantee removal of leaking fuel tank with it.

    used 24 x 32 pole barn

    ask yourself if you had one on your property, and wanted to get rid of it, what you could expect for it. Considering the labor and risk involved, plus the guy getting rid of it has already specified exactly what he wants his land to look like when the "job/work" is done, I'd say he pays me to...

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    I don't have an answer for that. I can only tell you what I have read and my own experiences. The GFCI at the end of the circuit would work fine for a month or two when I needed power. Then one day I would go to use it, and have to reset it first. Same on the Main bathroom where the one upstream...

    help with 240 v, double throw wifi switch

    I was having trouble with that too and about to ask the question myself. If it is a single throw, and the OP does not know the difference maybe he should hire an electrician. If it is a double throw then what else does it connect to? Or is it a center off and one side is orphaned? What...

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    wrong. I had two daisy chained and NOTHING in either. When I would go to use the socket one or the other would be tripped. Usually the one downstream. I replaced both of them, three or four times thinking they might be going bad. When I realized that were on the same circuit daisy chained I put...

    Repair A/C Hose

    yes. Nebraska is still a big area. I would call a local nearby truck service facility and ask their parts counter where they buy custom hydraulic and AC hoses.

    Propane tank valves

    Just have the service guy top them all off when he does the big tank at 50 cents a pound.

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    I found this on an electrical forum. It describes how they trip one another. If GFCI A is upstream of GFCI B, and B is fed by the load side of A it will cause nuisance trips. If multiple GFCI are fed in a line, they all must be on the line side in parallel AND NOT DAISY CHAINED which is what...

    Building Location: View vs. Privacy

    start by reading your deed and the zoning requirements to see what is allowed. I would allow first for the weather - where the snow goes, where the water goes. What about water and septic - any idea if there is equal access to water and does the soil perc the same in the spots you are...
