    Lol for real. When I put my mounts up, I put most of my weight on them to test. If they can handle ~200 pounds, a 50-75 pound TV should be fine...still freaked me out though.

    I'll have to give that a read, thanks. I bought an infrared temp gun. Turned on the system, intake temp of 78 at the return, 60 coming out of the vents. So the air is cool. Jumped up in the attic and took off one of the evap covers. I noticed a heard almost a crackling, literally sounded like ice forming. Felt the back of one side and it felt like ice was building up. So it would seem my thought of the freezing evaporators may be on point. Air intakes are working well. They will easily suck a big piece of cardboard up to them. Also ran the system a bit with no filter, didn't make a change to anything. So it leads me to believe its not filters (which I had changed), not a fan issue (because its taking in adequate air, it would seem).

    It has me coming back to low refrigerant, or a valve issue (or drier). Bottom line, calling a tech, I've done my novice stuff.

    Do the stringers on the angle push the riser out of plane compared to the stringers that are square to the stair run ?

    Why do you ask questions you already know the answer to?

    They can be. That is a very ambitious project. Luckily your inspector will probably not fail them.

    He could have made an adjustment to the rise / run

    Exactly. Hard to tell from pics, but it may actually work out. The stringers fit.

    The two stringers that are on an angle have a longer run so they match up.

    You get points for using the correct terminology!

    In the midst of my bathroom remodel. Pulled wire from the panel, made a table for the different circuits w/loads and am working on a wiring diagram for my lighting circuit. Things kept changing (I want the fan vent in the shower so the fan has to be on a GFI Circuit), but now I'm locked into a plan.

    My first impression is the required circuits are highly underutilized. The floor warmer is required to have its own dedicated 20 amp circuit by the manufacturer, even though it only uses 3 amps. The power draw is "gentle", meaning it doesn't have wild swings in power (no real "peak" power). After searching the web I found a lot of theories but no one can say for sure why it needs it's own circuit. Some contacted the manufacturers and just got a lot of double talk. Seems like a waste but it is what it is.

    Since I decided to put a fan vent in the shower, it has to be on a GFCI circuit. Originally I planned all lights and the fan on the same circuit and have one line already pulled for that. Now I need to stick GFCI protection in there, somewhere. So the crude diagram below is what I came up with. Wondering if anyone with knowledge can take a look and see what you think. Second pic is my load table...
