This is the worst thing I've seen in this thread. Who puts bananas in the fridge? Also FWIW, they make car chargers that are setup to communicate about how much load they can draw. The usual usage is putting two of them on the same circuit, so if you've only got one plugged in you get full amperage.

I think you should tear it all out and do a subpanel at each end of the L to minimize runs

Could you spray the terrible bricks with a concrete sealer, so they don't suck in as much moisture?

Horatius Bonar posted:Of course I agree students shouldn't be trusted with windows that open, sharp objects, or even most round objects. I'd say the contact switches in the building I worked on seemed like a great idea to deal with how people interact with their spaces - let people open their windows but then, no wasted energy on heat. I'd bet the people who designed the building I worked on learned a lesson from your experience with university dorms. You don't think the students would bypass the switches? I do...

Computer viking posted:The current solution is to support both 2.4 and 5 GHz, since 5 has more channels and higher bandwidth, but 2.4 goes through walls better. 6GHz is even faster/more channels/worse at walls, and LiFi even more so if it ever becomes widespread.

NotJustANumber99 posted:ok yeah is interesting and I possibly do want something like that as well, but it does not solve the problem. So instead of dealing with the higher costs for now, you just don't have an electrical hookup in the building? Can you just get a dumb one installed and get it swapped later?

You've already got the hole, can you just drop in some concrete and call it another maintenance manhole? It would be no different then what all the other manhole bases look like.

Just Winging It posted:Yup, I've lost count of the number of otherwise capable tradies absolutely hamstrung by skinflint wanknozzle managers. Because the savings of not , say, having your boiler & heating maintenance people have all the common tubing & joint pieces in their work van surely makes up for the oodles of mandatory return visits and sheer loss of valuable work time from not having it available and having to order it for every loving job. My wife works for a supplier to utilities, the amount of outright waste that goes on there is staggering. They had one guy that was bitching he couldn't bring his truck with a welder home anymore to do side jobs. They can't keep shovels in stock, for whatever reason they just disappear regularly. (Oh my shovel broke I need a new one repeated monthly). Spools of tracer wire get used up like crazy (100ft spool, 20 ft run, remainder just vanishes somehow) Just based on stories, I'd guess there's at least 25% of common supplies don't get used for actual jobs.

Some Guy From NY posted:do both of those tanks in your plant room contain water? why do you not have them each in a pan that has a water sensor that can give you a notification if they leak? the pan will contain the possible leak, enough for the sensor to notify you and you can get there quick before the room fills up with water. What, you don't think the plants need water too?

If you're planning on doing something you intend to remove/reinstall, you want to install unions. Compression fittings are not really meant to be removed/reinstalled.
