1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yup 240v 30A. Its the most expensive part of this remodel lol. $250 for 100 ft of wire.

 

Oh yeah you have a crawlspace huh, that makes it easy. We're on a post tension slab, most houses here are on slabs. I don't know a single person here who has a basement - they're rare.

 

Wire in the attic, plumbing underneath. Dryer vent will go underneath too. Need to borrow the hammer drill from work this weekend and bore a 4" hole through my foundation. Should be fun.

 

Remind me why you're building a laundry room, is there not one already?

 

I'm going through a laundry room remodel myself. Funny you should mention the nail plates. We had an issue and never knew it.





In the last pic you can see that there was a nail plate installed on the far stud. Nail plate didn't do shit to help against drywall screws in the ABS. Not just one screw, but three...

 

No room per say. The fix and flippers stuck the hookups in the kitchen. But they did the washer drain wrong in that they didnt vent it and installed it too low to the floor, which would flood my house.

 

That got past inspection?

 

Yeah Im glad I changed my mind about the location haha.

 

Yup. Home inspectors caught that there was no dryer vent, but didnt note anything about the washer hookups.

 

Yup. Brother in law is a plumber. We've been talking for a few days about how/where to move and install drains/vents etc. I'm an electrician by trade and plumbing can be hard to wrap my head around. Been eye opening for sure.

 

Probably same as mine, vents/drains are behind sheetrock and they can't see what is or isn't there.

 

Im an industrial sparky so the wiring is nothing for me. But I also do my fare share of plumbing so a little research and I was set on what I wanted to do.

 

My plumber was building a new house in Santa Cruz for themselves, and did the entire home in copper - including the sprinklers. When the inspector arrived and saw everything in the house plumbed in Copper, he did a quick once over and left. My plumber said most people who know what they're doing use Copper, and amateurs wouldn't so the inspector had no doubt it was a professional job.

 

A county plumbing inspector and an average home inspector are two totally different things. Home inspectors have just a general idea of what to look for, they dont go looking for vent pipes or are required to know all the plumbing codes by the books.

 

Yeah, I'm actually an MEP commissioning manager for a GC that builds mission critical facilities for the book of faces. I'm comfortable dealing with electrical/mechanical installations and operations on industrial/process systems.

That said, residential systems seem so inconsequential to me.

 

Decided to work later than usual; funny cause I'm enjoying the hell out of work.

Wife brought me Dutch Bros

 

LOL. Who's the dude in the white tee-shirt?

 

That's a reflection of Mac

It's a still of the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One of my all time favorites

 

As long as they don’t prevent me from owning my gassers; they can have their EVs. I won’t buy one unless it’s hydrogen. Fuck charging a battery.

but we’ll all soon find out the infrastructure is 50 years behind and can’t handle all the cars being charged. Cali will be on fire even more than it already is.
