    What car wash products do you use?

    The guys at Obsessed garage tested an enormous amount of cheaper pressure washers with car washing in mind:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG_BGdABDC9s97iOZTLJVO3TF-K3fx99g.It's pretty insightful. They also sell their own entry level bundles with upgraded accessories, it triples the...

    SunStreet Solar

    What's the size of the system they are installing? The sales office should be able to tell you how much it would cost to buy the solar system outright even if you haven't closed yet.

    Flex conduit (over fireplace)

    I don?t think a real fireplace is up to code nowadays. That?s why I mentioned the conduit needs to be tied properly because the gas appliance gets hot.

    Flex conduit (over fireplace)

    I've attached what I think it looks like, 2017 build.

    Flex conduit (over fireplace)

    It's very easy to do during framing, a bit less afterwards as you have to go around the fireplace and make sure it's secure so it's not too close to avoid heat.

    Interest rates on investment properties

    I was offered 2.875% 30 years fixed for a conforming loan refi on my rental (60% LTV). Closing costs around $3.5K. I may try to shop that around a bit but it looks pretty good to me.

    Gov. Newsom bans sale of all new gasoline-powered cars starting in 2035

    I may have misread but I thought the ban was only for 100% ICE vehicles, hybrids would still be allowed. Can California build a bunch of nuclear power plants in 15 years? Otherwise I don't know how the grid will handles millions of additional EVs in the middle of summer...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Owners couldn't connect to their cars but they were not locked out. The unlocking is through Bluetooth so the network outage didn't affect that.

    Sink options

    Stainless steel is a bit more forgiving if you drop dishes as it's more flexible. On ceramic it has a higher chance to break.

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    The SGIP rebate is for PG&E and it comes from different pools depending if you install 1, 2 or 3 PWs. The 1 and 2 PWs pools were exhausted back then, not the 3PWs.

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    I'm curious to see how much wall space it takes to install 3 PWs, can you share once you are done? I'm attaching again the cost breakdown a neighbor got for PW. The difference between 2 and 3 looks minimal.

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    I looked into and this is what a neighbor sent me a few months back. In essence the 3rd one is close to free. Just need to have the space for 3.

    Tankless Water Heater + Water Softener Installer Recommendations

    Have you looked into heat pump electric water heaters? I looked into it as a way to use some of solar electricty over production but our gas tankless water heater is only a few years old so it did not make sense. Unexpected bonus of the heat pump electric water heater, it cools your garage in...

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    ahah, it's 105F outside and we keep the house at 78F so both AC units end up running all day, no EV charging. So far this year we've consumed 4,865kWh for 9,534kWh produced so I don't mind a few more days at 100kWh. But it's time to seriously look at EVs or growing...

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    I have 10 panels facing east and 22 facing west, a very good production day is around 58kWh. I've attached my best week so far. Yesterday we reached our highest power consumption over 24h I've seen at 101kWh for only 44kWh produced (PG&E cut our power for 2 hours so we lost production)  :o The...
