Go here, put in the model number and see if he fixes your things. When I was much younger I managed a regional consumer electronic repair center for Teledyne. I no longer do that, however, from what I can see, this guy is really good at fixing a lot of products, including those struck by...

The point is that the life cycle on almost everything today is five years. It might last 100 years but the manufacturers start abandoning things at 5 years. Acura is a part of Honda. Last year they discontinued support for part of the electronics in Acura models 2020 and older. Some models as...

sometimes Archive.org has items that are long gone. Another clue is that sometimes they will have a URL or FTP address, that is still active but the manufacturer says isn't.

can you sit any farther foward in the seat when you want to turn into the wind? A canoe or kayak is like a weather vane. The wind will push it based on where the pivot is. Downwind the paddler wants to be farther back, and upwind the person wants to be farther forward. Depends on the kayak if...

This guy fixes TV's and other things. Might want to watch one of the videos just to see if you are comfortable with him. we've seen Bobcat, tractor, tv, refridgerator and other things he repairs at the component level.

About 2 -3 years ago the poco swapped out all the underground lines, and above ground transformers in the housing tract built in 1979 in anticipation of the 45 year old system having problems due to age. They brought in the higher amperage connection to their vault on the side of my driveway...

I skimmed this and read a lot of assumptions but no finite answers. Might just me my bad eyes. What I was looking for was how far is the cable company taking the cable? 100'? 500', 1500'? Do they have equipment already there for your house on the public road, or do they have to add it? If so...

paying for it either way. 2/0 copper will fit in2" better than 4/0 aluminum. That is my logic. I am reading different opinions on whether this POCO will pull their cable or require me to do it. The spec sheet says they require the owner to dig and fill in the trench. The POCO techs who did the...

Sacramento area. https://www.smud.org/-/media/Documents/Business-Solutions-and-Rebates/Design-and-Constructions-Services/ResidentialUnderground_Sec_III.ashx I am reading that 2" is the minimum, while larger is preferred. I think this is 2" but would not know 100% until it is dug up, and we can...

the POCO requires 2" for a 200 amp service. If it is already 2" they won't require that portion of conduit to be upgraded. That section is under a lot of concrete along side the house. If we can avoid having to cut 25' of concrete, that makes it much more feasible. I suspect it will be 1.5". We...

I'll try. Not sure it comes all the way up to the panel. In the back of my mind I seem to recall that it terminates about 12" above the foundation wall inside the cavity but I will check. If it does go to the panel then that should solve that question - and I sure appreciate that suggestion...

re "Boy" If anyone thinks that load calculation sheet was voluntary on my part, think again. It is a requirement in many of the cities in Northern California now that it has to be turned in if an electrical permit is needed. Some cities have an app or a spread sheet calculator, but ours does...

I read them last night. Fully explaining my concerns and reasons would bring on a discussion that would violate forum rules. That said, if the two compressors are going, it is a hot day, the 3-ton AC is going, all the LED lights in the garage are lit up, a couple loads of laundry are being...

The technology to mole thru the ground has been around for a while, but they won't use it. The gas line, water line and telephone all go thru that same area, and cross one another. When the time comes, I guess the first thing will be to pull that one piece of siding off. Then I can see the...

That they let people continue to use the old service lines is encouraging. The house next door upgraded but they also moved the panel 20' from the side of the garage/kitchen to where they took out the brick chimney (most winter days here are no burn days so a fireplace goes mostly unused), and...

The changes here enhance enshitification. Have a laugh on me -

Thank you. In answer to the question why: Just looking ahead at likely coming changes, and getting my plans on paper before they happen.

the service comes in underground. The end of the conduit and its size are unknown. There is a lot of concrete that will have to be cut or broken up if new conduit is needed all the way to a new panel. And, because of the location on the outside wall, I won't know how easy it will be to put a...

thank you

then fiber. Put plumbing and fiber in the same trench if local code allows it. The trench will be already there so kust add the plumbing line. Might even throw another empty conduit in large enough to handle either if one ever has to be replaced or another service run.
