I live near the airport, so we occasionally get planes depending on the wind direction. Sometimes they are low and loud depending on the weather. Today they are landing every minute. My siblings don't care, not even the 'skittish' female. The kitten seems pretty laid back too, that's him in the picture. All 20 pounds of him. He was initially watching them come in, but he is just ignoring them now.
I see Bell is offering the Samsung 26 Ultra for $26.84 a month, plus 200 GB for $61 a month i really don't need 200 GB and my current plan is $46 a month, so the phone is really $41.84 a month. Is this the best deal I can get?

I got a text a while ago about a free Crave subscription, but I passed, as i here it's mostly 720P, but I wanted to watch the World Cup on my tablet. I found the offer on My Bell, but My Bell has a username, not a password. I tried to signin to Crave with my email address and the My Bell password, but it says does not compute. What am I missing.
I got a quote to build a simple 10x16 shed and they want $11K. 🤣 They want $900 to paint it. I can buy the prefinished siding for $400. That price doesn't include the pad BTW.
I'm familiar with stud walls and hanging doors, although doors are not my strong suit. I've never built a roof though. I spent the afternoon arguing with Google over placement of rafter ties vs blocking. I know I don't want trusses and it may not have a ridge, but I likely want to add solar panels at some point, so a ridge may be necessary. I'll be using 2x6 rafters and ties and the pitch will be 9/22.
I'm sitting here looking up at my deck roof, 14x14, which has a double ridge beam, no blocking, no birdsmouth notching and a 'post' sitting on an end beam supporting the ridge. I assume the rafters are just toenailed to the triple 2x12 beams supporting the roof. The rafter ties also rest on the beams and are fastened to the rafters at the beam. There is also a brace sitting on the rafter ties running the length of the deck. I appreciate the simplicity of no birdsmouth notching, but I'm wondering how they lined it all up to nail it. Maybe there's some strong ties i can't see because of the multiple coats of stain.
I'd like some advice for a simple roof that may eventually have to support 12 solar panels on my 10x16 shed. We do get some snow, but no hurricanes or tornados. Yes, i have tools BTW.

I want to mount an L14-30P inlet on an outside wall, with conduit leading to Nema 5-15R panel on the inside. This will be in my furnace room and the generator will be at least 15' from the furnace intake. I know i have to caulk around the inlet box, but what about height off the ground? The installation is at least 30' from the electrical panel.
I can't connect my Aqara FP2 to my Samsung Ultra 24. It gets struck on Step 4. I restarted my phone, disabled my 5G WAN on my router and my phone is connected to the 2.4G network. I also tried factory resetting the Aqara FP2, but nothing works.
I know this is not a new issue. Any bright ideas?
I want a small install to feed my EcoFlow Delta Pro 3.
I couldn't find a local installer that didn't want to populate my whole house for a 100K and I have terrible angles and sun direction. It would take me 50 years to pay it back, not including a new roof.
I'm thinking about having a 10x16 shed installed that should hold about 12 x 200W panels. My question is how did you run the cable to your house, so that it would pass a building permit and electrical inspection. I can rent a trencher easy enough and install conduit if required, but can I leave it above ground for the portion that runs under the deck? I assume not.
​
Google says i don't need a building permit for a shed up to to 15 SM, 160 sf, but some site selling sheds says I need a permit for any shed over 108 sf. I also saw some old threads here talking about 3 feet for setbacks, but Google says i need 1.2 metres based on my lot size. I think my old shed is setback 3', so I assume the rules have changed. I also assume the setback includes the roof, however minor that is.
I called 311,but they referred me to Zoning, so I'm waiting with baited breath.
Has anyone been through this process BTW?
I recently purchased a extra battery for my Delta Pro 3 and when I was adding it I noticed that the AC pass-through was turned off. I didn't receive any notifications from the app that this had occurred. I did find the power off buried in the log. We had a power failure recently, which is why I purchased the extra battery, so i wonder if the power off was related to that.
The other issue is that the DP3 kept tripping the breaker while charging the new battery. I thought the DP3 was supposed to reduce the max charge to 1,200 watts when in pass-through mode. I set the power charge setting to Adjust and reduced the charge level, until the DP3 stopped tripping the breaker. I'm going to move the DP3 to a dedicated circuit that supplies 30 amps, as it's closer to the furnace. I know the DP3 can't draw more than 1,800 watts and I can't charge at 240 volts, if i want to use pass-through. Boo! I'll be running a 110 generator input here too.
I also adjusted the max battery level and min battery level when I was adjusting the charge settings, but when I went back in to check, the EcoFlow app had adjusted these back to the defaults. Now I'm paranoid about the EcoFlow turning off the AC pass-through.
Starley has been whining when he's in the Catio, so I assume he wants to go outside. His stepbrother loves outside, but he slipped his harness all the time and developed behavioural issues from being outside, so he got banished from the out.
​
​
Starley is a little less bright than Nipsey, but also quite buff, 18# and skinnier than Nipsey. I'm wondering how your Bengal leash walking went and what leash you used. Nipsey had no issues with the leash, but putting it on was always a battle and Starley isn't fond of being picked up. I'd probably start in the backyard when Nipsey wasn't around.
Yes, he's a big kitten, but he's not 18 months yet. I'm surprised that he asked to come outside, since we were just out here. He's normally pretty chill for a Bengal kitten.
​
The Catio is still a work in progress. The rafters need screened in to keep the creatures out, although Starley has a fascination with them. He's probably the only one athletic enough to get up there.
​
I'm still working on accessories, at this rate a litter box is going to be high on the list. I'm also considering perches and some low cost tunnels, if that's possible.
My S340s that see any amount of activity won't stay charged with the attached solar panel. The front yard is a complete loss, as it faces north and the road. I plugged this in long ago.
​
The backyard faces south and doesn't normally see a lot of activity. But Thursday we were working on the Catio and Friday we did some gardening. The S340 never recharged on Friday morning, despite having several hours of full sun and no activity. It died at 2:00 PM on Friday and is stuck at 2%. I know I'll have to plug it in to bring it back to life. Hopefully.
​
I'm wondering if a larger solar panel will solve this issue or if significant activity will still drain the battery too low to be charged? Has anyone tried a 10W or 20W solar panel that worked with the S340? If so, what brand?
I had a landscaping service performed that was verbally warrantied. However, the service was performed poorly and I informed the owner in writing at the time of the negligence that I was not pleased and would hold him to his warranty. It looks like the vegetation in question is going to die. I tried to contact the owner about this, but did not receive a return phone call. I have video of the actions that injured the trees.
This service cost several thousand dollars and I do not expect the company to honour their warranty. I really don't want the same company performing the service again, nor am I willing to let several thousand dollars slide.
I will give the owner an opportunity to rectify the situation, but I do not expect this to happen. I will likely have to pursue this in court once the trees are dead, as opposed to looking sickly, as they do now.
Should I hire a paralegal for this or just do it myself? Any other steps required, like a demand letter?
I'm tired of buying their overpriced chains. I bought some 3rd party chains, but they are 2 inches too long, so the EGO bar is actually 18". I guess that explains the 69 vs 72 links.
I know the oiling system is different than a standard bar.
Starley has been complaining around the box in the morning, but is not showing any other symptoms, so I took him for x-rays this morning. He does like getting petted while pooping. Everything is fine, but the vet gave him fluids and shots anyway. The Vet Tech wanted to muzzle him for the x-ray, LOL. Nipsey is the one that will use his ginsu claws on you.
The Vet Tech wanted to enter his weight at 4 kg, when the vet said if he's 4 kg, I'll shave myself. The vet said he's like picking up a boulder. Although, he looks skinny compared to the other two, Nipsey is stocky and Dior likes her treats too much.
People kept saying what a beautiful cat he was, I guess I'm just accustomed to his magnificence. His step siblings aren't too shabby either. I don't have a lot of good profile shots of him; I need to take more pictures of him, if he stays still long enough.
I'd like to disable camera motion events after a certain hour, but leave the person events enabled. Unfortunately, Alexa doesn't support Arlo or Eufy cameras in Smarthome routines. I don't imagine this is possible in Home Assistant either, since it will still need to use the Alexa engine. Any other options?
My Bengal kitten (14 mos) always cries out in the litter box. Sometimes it's just a Bengal thing, sometimes I think he's constipated. I have never seen him vomit, but he does lick his lips sometimes. He refuses to eat wet food. They have four pet fountains. He is fairly active, but the other cats tend to ignore him due to his energy levels.
I'm tempted to give him a dose of Restoralax, but that is not a long term solution. I recently had to dose my female because she was vomiting and refusing her treats. This worked well and she was back to herself in a day. She eats everything and normally has excellent poops. The kitten is not big on being handled, so I don't want to traumatized him with the syringe.
I'm looking for a long term solution for this guy and some signs that he is actually constipated. As I've said, I've never seen him vomit.
I've got an old Napoleon NZ2000 with a door that's sagging and about an 1/8" from the frame on the top left (latch) side. I think the hinge pin on the top right needs to move away from the frame. The Chimney sweep already added a couple of washers to the top hinge previously. I saw a diagram that shows that the hinge is adjustable in four directions, but i can't see how. If there are set screws they must be awfully tiny. Yes, my eyes are worn out too.
The second problem is that the door bolts that the latch mounts to have grooves worn in them, so the door doesn't close as tightly as it should. The Chimney sweep said that these bolts are not replaceable and the door is no longer available.
The Chimney sweep wants to replace the whole fireplace. LOL This would involve tearing open the chimney, as the fireplace is involved in some serious floor to ceiling stonework.
