#houserepair — Public Fediverse posts

Line feed to the house developed an open neutral. One leg jumped to ~150v and the other dropped to ~80v. Wild breaker tripping.
National grid need to come out twice to fully resolve it. Apparently our feed lines had some old and terrible splices. Also some temporary connectors that never got replaced after the meter swap (or have been there forever, not sure).

But props for them coming out within 20 minutes of me reporting the issues each time.
I wish I hadn't spent a whole day trying to track it down myself.

I have to find out how much ot costs to replace the roof of a house.

Found a house that is really great location and good price but requires a new roof.

I would love to put 10 to 16 bifocal solar panels there while doing it. That will be 5-8kW of solar panels.

Continuing adventures in #homeMaintenance: what do I do if my #downspout is not properly anchored to the wall? I need to sort this out quickly, before my appointment to get a downspout planter installed on the 1st. https://water.phila.gov/gsi/tools/downspout-planter/

I still don't understand how people are supposed to learn stuff like #houseRepair.

EDIT: No point in reattaching this low on the wall, diverter would probably be installed above here.
