In terms of all the speculation on cable length - keep in mind that Ethernet cable length limits are not just based on "simple" issues like signal loss (like old analog cable TV say) but also on complicated timing details of the Ethernet specification like latency. Basically a "message"...

Adding one more vote to the chorus. -Jeff

Search Racedeck threads here a bit. You'll find a lot about less expensive Costco versions made by the same manufacturer, the GJ Racedeck discount that helps a decent amount including free shipping, etc.

You're kidding right? 10k threads later... :)

I think it mostly followed that except I assume "sheathing" means something solid like plywood or OSB or whatever I usually see going up? Nothing like that; just the gypsum. It might have been a double-layer, I don't recall. Breaking the patio sliding glass door would probably be easier so...

I lived in a townhouse with exterior sheetrock on standard wood framing. It was covered with tar paper and vinyl siding over that. I assumed it was a fire thing (WA) for multi-family dwellings or maybe a cost thing, I dunno... I wasn't involved in the construction just dealing with the...

A painter who worked on our house gave us the tip that you can avoid underbleed on trim by taping and then deliberatey painting the tape edge with the color of the trim to seal the gaps. Finally paint with your final color covering the tape edge. I'm sure there are a lot more "pro" methods but...

Bummer! I'm sure they'll make you relatively whole (labor may be an issue) if they actually sent a completely incorrect color. Good tip to add to the long-list DIY checklist for these epoxy jobs. Were the marking all correct once you looked more closely? They were from the same batch even...

Objective reviews are always great; especially ones that highlight potential pitfalls. But as a single and only post with minimal details this doesn't look very constructive (with questionable credibility). Any chance of starting a thread on this with some pictures of the problems and details of...

Hmm interesting angle. I'd seen it go the opposite way in some cases. Manufacturer changes the product designation on big-box product to avoid direct competition with existing higher-end distribution channels then has to be creative to explain the real difference between the products. One...

If you paid for quality work; you deserve quality work or at least some compensation for inadequacies. I wouldn't forget the issue and would resent the job until the day I sold - even if it didn't really matter. Maybe not productive; but it's reality for me and I'd rather deal with it upfront...

Mel I'm sure you'll get a lot of helpful answers; but all of those questions are also already answered in numerous RaceDeck threads on here. You might find reading some of those threads useful.

Talk to RaceDeck direct. Mention GarageJournal and you won't have any shipping cost concern.

Woo hoo! Move on!

I don't think they're mixing it up at all. The problem is that legality is fairly concrete while morality is highly subjective. A lot of people here (myself included) seem to believe that current property laws are very mature and do a fairly good job of matching legal options and our view of...

The burden of proposing alternative solutions was on the neighbor. Dougmac proposed two options; one he had a legal right to pursue without his neighbor's consent the other required concessions from the neighbor. The neighbor understandably didn't have to like either option and many have agreed...

I think you got that about right. The asterisk reference above will definitely put you in the direction of understanding what's going on as opposed to just buying into sales pitches for systems that are over your head. It might be exactly what you want to learn or way more than you ever wanted...

Yeah Anchorage is HUGE (even compared to my current location)!

Big state; can you narrow it down a little? :) I'm in Bend, OR now but grew up in Valdez and have lots of family up there still. My parents bought a place in Fairbanks a few years ago and actually passed on a house that had a rifle range (single stall) built into the basement. -Jeff

Good point. The rule of thumb makes the most sense when applied to the OUTPUT of typical consumer electronics. In that context it's usually right; coax = NTSC 480i modulated audio+video the worst way to get the data to your display. On up the chain to composite and S-video. Things are more...
