I'm a little Confused about truss load capacities. My plans say I have a bcdl of 10PSF but 0 LL. Drywall from my understanding is 2PSF. Does this mean I have 8PSF worth of weight I can store up in the attic or can I hang heavier things from the trusses?

I guess as long as the garage door and safety equipment are UL325 compliant then it should be good to go? As others have mentioned I personally wouldnt do this even with the benefits you mention. These gate operators last a very very long time and are built to do what they are built to do. I...

I just did this last fall for the exact same thing... 1.5" CleanStone for 3 inches and then topped another 2-3 inches with 3/4" DGA. It's rock solid.

That's what I was wondering? Will this work? To the untrained eye (like myself before realizing waht happened) it looks fine. I'm more worried about it rotting or getting termites or something lol.

I think I made a mistake in letting him know he was the lowest bidder as he asked me after I hired him. He left his apprentice each day to do the work while he went to work on another project. There were a few things that I wasnt in love with. When installing the gable vents I insisted that he...

This is what it looks like. I guess I could use a hand bender thing to bend a piece of stock.

Yet again it seems I've been let down by the quality of a contractor... This winter I hired a company to do the siding and aluminum fascia because it was about to start snowing and I didnt have a month to do it myself... Today, crazy enough, I noticed I had a birds nest in one of the bird boxes...

Yeah this stuff still confuses me. I read that "you cant taste the salt from the water softener" and also that RO water is actually worse for pipes or something... Filters and air injection etc all this stuff is very confusing. My issue is that I have a lot of calcium in the water and the...

I'm always trying to figure out this water softener thing... Can these be drained into a septic system? Also what's everyone using for filtration?

Kinda what I was thinking also but couldnt find one that made a lot of sense. The power would be coming from where the gate is at a closed position. It's a 15' gate so to put a power cord STARTing where the gate is at an opened position would be a lot of wasted cord. Also I don't know how I feel...

Does anyone know where I can find any good quality solar panels that I can then hook up to solar lights? I can only find these really bad quality ones on Amazon that have died on me twice in a year. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SZTGJQN/?tag=atomicindus08-20 These are going under a sliding...

Ok so 2 regulators put in. First stage down to 10psi second down to 11.7 in wl. Generator purring now

Just curious but was yours required to be inspected? What I read about NFPA is that the regulator needs to have its exhaust 5 feet away from the generator.

Damn thats a big generator you got there.

Lol can you post a photo? The guy that was putting the pipe together at the generator was like his first day. The experienced guy left him alone because he had to go back and get the 500 gallon tank. This guy looked like it was his first time seeing leggos didnt know how to put it together...

Nope it rhymes with "Suburban"

The propane company was kinda "The tech knows best and I have a little handy dandy booklet that says you'll be fine." I had to explain to them that science and math says otherwise and thats when they said they would send a tech to fix it next week. I've had a few issues with this company...

Lots of questions I'll try to answer them all. Based on what I see they did a twin stage regulator because they originally designed the system for 15 feet to bring it down to 10-12in. WC. The original plans of 15 feet were estimated before the building was built. After accounting for down a...

It seems they might have stepped down at the tank possibly to 10water whatever its called. Which instead they need to install another regulator at the generator so in the pipe they can do 2psi

I was basing my numbers off that chart. It says that I need 355, 000BTUs and unless I'm less then 20 ft 3/4" is in the 200s
