I'm trying to solve the B2 API Error.

I am trying to use B2 with my Synology NAS.

In my download folder is the b2-windows.exe

I'm trying to follow the instructions from their help page.

"After you download the self-contained tool, you can learn how to use the command-line tool below. Prior to running the tool, run the following command:

chmod +x <tool filename>

What does this mean and how do I do it?

Dryer duct connects directly to dryer on the other end. Duct runs through a hole in the wall to the garage.

Duct should connect to a solid metal vent (top of the picture) which is screwed to the wall.

However, the sharp angle pinches the flexible duct as seen.

Do I:

Run a longer vent so it doesn't pinch?

Buy a special piece to turn this corner?

About 8 years ago I had a survey done because I didn't know exactly where the back corners of my lot were. I'm suburban not rural but our neighborhood has dense vegetation/trees in the back yards, so rural-like.

Also complicating things is I have three corner points for the back boundary of my lot, so the lot is not a perfect rectangle.

There is also a creek (more of a storm water drainage ditch) that runs along part of the boundary. The southern pin and the middle pin are on the far creek bank, while the northern pin is on flat ground beyond the creek bed (from my perspective).

Also the southern and middle pin, being on the creek bank, are no longer visible due to dirt washing the area. I'm not certain the pins are still there.

The image is a crude illustration I made of my back boundary (black circles are pins, blue is the creek, green is a big tree that is fully on my property, arrow points north).

I have had a few issues come up since the survey (nothing major) where I was asked to prove the boundary. Thankfully they were minor (no one was building a fence or permanent structure).

The issues:

• A gentlemen was clearing land for a neighbor not directly bordering me (to the north west) and was getting pretty close to my northwest corner, using a bobcat and some kind of brush hog. Overall I support this because we have terrible honeysuckle in the neighborhood. But I went out to politely confirm how he was determining where the border was, and he said he was using OnX (GPS based hunting maps). I told him I didn't feel that was accurate and he asked me to show him the pin. Luckily since it was the northern most pin on flat ground I was able to find it and the issue was solved.
• Several years later my neighbors who I share the boundary with between the middle and northern pin were tying up a zipline from their yard to the tree (green circle on the map). I politely approached them and informed them the tree was on my property, and I was concerned about liability (kids getting injured on my property) and the health of the tree with a metal line tied around it. I felt bad ruining their plans but it's a beautiful sycamore. Their response was "the realtor told us we owned all the way to the creek". I understand it is common to believe that, as I myself did until I got the survey and realized I owned more land than I knew when I bought the house. I pulled the survey and thankfully it had a note that the middle pin was right next to a power line pole, and then I showed them the northern pin and they could very easily see the tree is entirely on my property. Unfortunately for them their modified zipline now has significantly less vertical drop but I told them their kids are welcome to explore the wooded area of my backyard if they are hiking and not suspended in the air!

So my concern now is that if I have to defend the southern or middle pin, that I would not be able to find them in a pinch. I have been ok with the notes and the northern pin, but am picturing myself scrambling to dig into inches of creek dirt trying to find a pin when put on the spot.

I've searched the sub for ideas and seen:

• driveway markers
• hollowed paint cans
• monument box
• PVC sprinkler valve box

My concern with these solutions is that since the pins are on a slope that the boxes or cans wouldn't be deep enough to stay in place (and they might wash away).

Is it reasonable to ask a surveyor if a larger (6 inches or more) diameter PVC pipe filled with concrete can be placed with the pin encased in concrete? I would be willing to assist with the digging and concrete mixing.

Or is there another solution for putting pins in creeks that I am not thinking of?
