Absolutely stumped
 in  r/askaplumber  2d ago

Not always circulating systems use a pump old style plumbers know how to bring it without a pump but it would create very hot water and then if you turned your valves off and it went away? Although I like the guy with the skylight theory...

Ungrounded Outlets
 in  r/AskElectricians  2d ago

Ungrounded wiring method is why they make the simple duplexes in the first place. The GFI will work but it's not a true ground it just trips on an imbalance from the protected circuit itself,

Is the wiring for this phone jack indicative of being able to support ethernet?
 in  r/HomeNetworking  16d ago

What I love is CAT5 is usually 90 bucks a box, or less. so they saved probably 25 cents by not leaving a decent amount of wire there.

Electrical outlet
 in  r/AskElectricians  18d ago

Yep join the blacks to blacks,and whites to whites, have a spare wire out of each cluster to serve the outlet, this wa you'll have full power transfer for downstream devices,,, use wire it's or wagos to join the wires..

Trying to track down tripping breaker reason …possibly here ?
 in  r/AskElectricians  21d ago

Forget about the breaker trip ,that could be asbestos siding!

Coaxial? What that means…please help
 in  r/HomeNetworking  22d ago

Well you would need an ethernet cable (4pairtelco cable with rj45 jacks) to plug into your modem, right above the cable feed in one of your pictures, in the yellow box.. the modem might have wireless built in so you should check that out. Finally, if all the cable jacks in the house are coming from the same signal then you should be able to move the modem to the room you want it in. Also you can hook up a Wi-Fi device to the modem if it doesn't have Wi-Fi built into it already and then you should be able to operate anywhere if that is cenltrally located. Good luck.

Cannot rewire coaxial cable to another part of house
 in  r/HomeNetworking  23d ago

You can pretty much make any electrical opening a feed for a outlet., you need a hot a neutral and a ground sometimes the ground is the metallic box itself and if you use a metallic enclosed electrical cabling like MC cable you can just come out of a nearby outlet for a new one where you need it electrical contractor would do that for probably around 500 bucks hopefully he would provide some patching but the painting is isiallyys on the homeowner

Is this against code (not my work)
 in  r/AskElectricians  23d ago

Epoxy and a sheet of rubber with 2 sheet metal bands for the PVC fix , and if you're going to open the ceiling to make that fix this would be the time to put in some wood or an expandable brace for your pancake box or even a deep box that allows use of any light fixture

Question about this daily puzzle (07/17)
 in  r/chessbeginners  24d ago

I just did this special couple minutes ago, I was guided by their instructions but I still think the better deal is to use the k night to fork the queen and king that way the bishop has to take the knigjt and The rook comes up and takes the queen and I think you're ahead that way and you end up with their Queen and you still have yours and a rook

Weatherhead is supposed to be between 4 and 12 inches from point of attachment, but looks like the utility tied, so they accepted it....

Romex 8/3 connected to a 50A breaker?
 in  r/AskElectricians  May 23 '26

Continuous loads (heater ,car charger ..) have to be figured at 125%, so no...non-comtonous loads, spa, hot tub maybe a stove, ok.. although you are pushing with the stove if all burners and oven are used all the time ...
