the condenser goes in the utility room, right?



This reminds me of a thought I've been bouncing around, are there any systems that (intentionally, and with good engineering principles) dump waste A/C heat into a water heater tank? You've got a large thermal mass that you want to heat up, and large quantities of heat that need to be dissipated; seems like a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and reduce your overall power bill. Maybe still have a condenser unit to dump heat outside when the water gets saturated, but is this a thing at all?

Does anyone have a link to that home remodel nightmare blog a guy was making about his own new house? Money shot was a fake coaxial outlet that had no box and wasn't wired up, just a faceplate and ~3 inches of cable plastered into place. Seems like such an easy thing to find but my google-fu is not strong this day.

For a brief period growing up we lived in a house with a loop driveway (foreclosures yay), my dad loved it with his big pickup and trailer but it really shone when we hosted big family get togethers; a dozen cars in the driveway and no one was even blocked in, let alone spilling over onto the street.

Things changed and we moved back into a more standard house after like 4 years, but drat I wish I'd been older to better appreciate how dope that house was. Honestly for a 3.6k sqft. house it was actually fairly restrained as floorplans go, basically just two normal ranch homes jammed together, although the back porch/pool enclosure was pretty drat huge.

Speaking as a tall gently caress, when they figure out how to make a sun/moon/jupiter roof without lowering the internal cabin height and eating up precious cm of headroom, I'll consider buying one.

I'm not a luddite, that's a hell of a leap to make. I've got very specific complaints about moonroofs, due to my height as mentioned; the potential for leaks and whatnot is just the icing on the cake.

Yeah y'all, realize pot fillers aren't for bipping out 2 cups of water for your ramen, they're for filling bigass soup pots that are legitimately a pain in the as to carry when full.

i think you'll find soup pots are generally lighter by the time you're ready to take them to the sink or fridge. Since, you know, people are eating from them.

What kind of lovely-rear end soups are you people making that involve filling a whole pot with plain water?

IDK how you make stock but my method does indeed involve water at some point

I mean, if you're dumping it in a pot on a stove, the temperature it comes out the tap isn't gonna affect much except a few extra minutes to boil, so unless you've got sludge coming out the first few seconds then who gives a poo poo.

People are really overthinking all this.

That's a generator input, it's hooked to house wiring through an interlock that requires you to disconnect the external main breaker before you can connect the generator circuit to the panel. It's never hooked to live power except when a gen cord is plugged into it.
