I have Jenn Air 6 burner gas cooktop, and dual GE Profile electric ovens. Zero complaints.

New shoes for every mowing.

Strongly suggest something like this in the floor of the pan. It will notify you when moisture appears in the drain pan, and you can deal with it before overflow. https://www.techhive.com/article/578595/flo-by-moen-smart-water-detector-review.html

Thanks everyone. Great information!

@TwiceHorn, It is connected to water detectors under my lavs, WCs and appliances which use water. If one of those detects a leak, it can be enabled to notify, or turn off the main valve (the valve can also turn off water remotely). The main valve turns off once per night, pressurizes with air briefly to check for small leaks (drips and whatnot). It's basically for peace of mind and a modest homeowners insurance premium discount.

Thanks Twice, I haven't thought about temperature having an affect on pressure measurement. Closed system, like a thermometer. (Ideal gas law). Letting the pressure out with it's leak test would re-calibrate the system at nearly the coolest part of the day. Since it's hot as Eff until September, I'll have to see what happens in Winter. I've gone back and looked at the timestamps on the low pressure alerts (all around daybreak) and the high pressure alerts (all around 6pm or so). It's odd.

I've got a FLO water valve by Moen installed on my water main coming into the house. (Irrigation system branches out BEFORE the valve). This graph is three days of my water pressure. I'm trying to understand the bimodal peaks in it. The vertical axes are NOT scaled to any particular time (yes, that drives me crazy). The big drop every morning is the valve closing to do an leak check with air at around 4am. Peak is usually early evening, and I regularly get an alert on most warm days that it is over recommended pressure of 80psi. Any idea what causes a morning pressure peak, and a second early evening peak? (presuming heat on the early evening?)

Another issue people don't forget that can influence blood pressure is body inflammation from allergies. I went in last spring for my annual, BP was 140-95, doc wanted to discuss BP meds. I declined-(might adversely affect my aviation medical). I also had sleep apnea concerns (had sleep study done-no apnea) and allergy problems causing respiratory symptoms and even caused eosinophilic esophagitis (diagnosed with upper GI - presumably a different scope than what they used for my lower GI scope). After a year of allergy treatment, sleep apnea concerns gone (less loud, abrupt snoring), esophagitis symptoms gone. Blood pressure at last allergist appointment was 110/75.

All my yard equipment/tool batteries and chargers are indoors. Heat and cold are their mortal enemies. I wish I'd have logged the number of charge cycles each one was receiving, but I didn't think of that until this week.

Tinkering around with sketchup.... This will probably be close to what we end up doing. Except the weird mannequin standing on the patio.

Rotation much weaker, threat nearly over W of Salado

It has turned sharply to the left. possibly occluding.

Anyone have any experience with a Ryobi 40v pressure washer?

My kids love the tire swing.

Absolutely.

Whether it's safe or not, it is stigmatized by many people, and you will reduce your pool of possible buyers in any future sale.

Best money for peace of mind (and a small premium discount) was installing the Moen Flo leak detection/auto shutoff valve. https://www.moen.com/flo/how-it-works It's taken a year to buy all the sensors, three at a time, but every water outlet in the house has a sensor on it now. You can have some sensors immediately notify the valve to shut off water, or just notify you (by text, email or call). I'm probably $1500 invested in it. Drove away on vacation last week, and halfway to vacation, fired up the app, and turned off water to the house. (It's normally installed AFTER the sprinkler tie in, so even if the house is shut off, the irrigation system runs.

Make sure you're testing the wired connection. 160 wouldn't be out of line for a wireless connection.

Kalispell is the closest with airline service, I think. Glacier is fantastic.

Paging @Brittney Griner for tips.

Most studies show people with "unlimited" PTO/vacation actually take fewer days off than those with a PTO/vacation accrual schedule. Companies are counting on you having a guilty conscience that you're "letting down your team" and expect fewer days off used.

Second having separate CO detectors. CO disperses far more effectively than smoke. One CO detector per floor is usually plenty for most non-Surly-sized homes (<4000sq).

Absolutely. Post-tensioned slab? No problems, no worries. PTS started in this part of the country in widespread use in the 70s. If you're on rock or really sandy soil, you normally won't see much contraction/expansion and non-PTS are often ok. Clay expands and contracts with moisture content and temperature too. PTS is a must. There are usually only one or two companies who do the PTS in an area, and they should have records of your slab, or even point you to another company if they didn't do yours.... PVC done correctly is fine, as is Pex. But, there can be problems from poor installation, and there can be issues with a certain group of Pex connectors made around 2010. And whomever said above about the noise when one snaps is right. Around here, in home construction, they slab company will clear everyone out when they crank the tension up on the slabs when installing. When the pop, it's like a arrestor cable on an aircraft carrier breaking. It's loud and dangerous.

Ours wanted Hoverboards. Target had a decent one on sale. Santa done.
