Dark_Knight Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Damn I did an unintentional face reveal on that sink pic. That’s what I look like if I am stretched out and distorted guys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I put this thermostat in too. But it wouldn’t turn on. The c wire was attached too. Can’t figure that out. So I reattached my old one and it’s currently hanging so I can have ac during these 100 degree days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's through a history of thinking I could do it myself that I've come to terms with the fact that I don't fuck with plumbing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 4 stage just means there is 4 membranes the water passes across as a filter medium. Nice work on the plumbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 What do you guys think? Too lazy? Or work smarter not harderizm? Our washer/dryer stack is in an old closet I think. It’s a tight fit and I can’t really reach the ducting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metronome Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 My next project is dead simple. Running a length of natural gas hose from the piping connect under my deck to where the BBQ will be living on the other side after my wife changed the furniture situation up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Started a project today with my pops - let’s hope we get done by Labor Day. Basically removing this wall to open up the Kitchen area. Will push into my living room space and allow me to have a real dining table area. The bar/counter wasn’t being used and basically was only a place to pile crap. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 @mr.yuck yep - we will put up a temporary wall when we complete the tear down and then run a new beam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) The new beam will run about 14 feet and will rest on the remaining wall to the right and the bit to the left of the door that juts out (cant see in picture). The wall on the right will end right at the start of where the opening is now. Snapped line will be the new height, should be open enough for a nice table or island with seating/cabinets.

mr.yuck Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 (edited) @fat ralphyNice. Are you going to recess an lvl up in the ceiling and hide it or you gonna do an exposed beam across the room? Edited June 27 by mr.yuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 @mr.yuck it will run along the line we snapped and we will sheet rock/edge it. It will hopefully end up looking similar to the current but just way more open space. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 That seems real long for an lvl that shallow to span without popping up into the ceiling cavity. Edit, my perception of scale may be fucked up, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically each stage is a filtration level, RO systems normally go upto 7 stage. So the higher the stage the more you filter the water but don't equate that to a good thing. Because the higher the micron filter the more you filter the water, the more you filter you begin to filter out the good nutrients e.g iron, alkalinity ect. So with that being said, with your higher stage filters you then have to put the nutrients back in the water and this is where some people really get into it. Adding back the right nutrients that they life style and body needs. This is where it gets interesting because some systems use uv light to kill specific bacteria and strip the water to basically nothing but pure liquid. Whole House ROs are better all around if you are tapped in a water source with high calcium part per million as the calcium gets washed and dried in your closes which cause them to fade and break down quicker. Plus all of your appliances and plumbing fixtures will not build up and not prematurely breakdown or replace. Now is RO water directly from your faucet better than bottled water. Yes! I had a salesman show up to sell me an RO years ago (wish I would have bought) and he did his whole sales pitch hooked his adapter up to my faucet ran his water test. Then I placed a bottle of Ozarka water on the table and had him test the water too. Ozarka had impurities in the water but the RO didn't. That's when I was sold but I wasn't ready to buy. Your stage 4 should be good enough, but if you feel you want more, you can always add more filters. Or at least you should, but I don't know your system. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
