Hejsan! Jag är amerikan men bodde jag i Sverige några år sedan. Tack så mycket för dina råd. Det kan var lättare i Sverige för sådana saker, tror jag.

I mean I could just spray a hose up there, couldn’t I?

We had the roof replaced two years ago. I believe they redid all the flashing at that point. So there’s a chance this could be old? If the leak is resolved, which I’ll verify, do we have to do anything to the wood or are we good?

Oh interesting. I thought electrical tape was the only thing. I also like to do “code plus.” I’ll get some friction tape.

Yeah once the micro is plugged in this never gets touched. And it’s on its own circuit.

Thanks for the tips. That’s just what I’ll do. Do you think it’s important to mount it to the stud or will an old work box do?

I am lucky. I had no idea this was going on back here. Here’s the back of the scorched cabinet.

And here is my new cap job.

I’m going to cover it with a plate and cut a hole in the melamine just as you suggested.

The blue box is one of those kind that is supposed to latch into the drywall, but the melamine is cut too tight for that to have ever worked so it’s just busted out when I pulled on cabinet.

Absolutely

Holy shit

It’s an IKEA cabinet with a melamine backing. I’m going to pull the micro and cabinet out and we’ll see what that shows us

Aha. Great question. Nope.

It looks like my client fails when I try to add photos. Here’s a link to the pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/aQmzYZvssHRkSBUG7

I’m so square I didn’t even know that 196 went back to Reddit.

Thank you.

Months after joining I still cannot decipher the rule thing. Can you please tell me?

One of the top 100 reasons I left.

Which brand did you go with?

Actually, account to the article you linked, “In the highest-risk group, teen boys, myocarditis occurred in 26.7 out of 100,000 cases after the second vaccine dose, while the condition occurred in 59 out of 100,000 cases after coming down with Covid, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

I did not realize, or else I forgot, that myocarditis is also a potential side effect of Covid. The fact that it’s more prevalent in those cases than from the vaccine is truly convincing. I’m not going back to high alert prevention, so booster it is

What do you all plan to do? My family all got the first available vaccines as they became available across the age groups. We all had Covid last October. We haven’t had any boosters yet. I’m thinking this seems like a good one to go in for, but I haven’t read anything recently regarding heart health for boys. But the risks associated with sickness at this point seem likely to be higher.

And I assume the line branches before it travels up into the walls? Or is there a chance it branches after it leaves the crawl space, in which case you could consider opening a wall for the valve.

Heh. Not even fixing it.

I can’t imagine it would be more than a couple hundred bucks assuming they can find an accessible point for it. Mine is in an unfinished room at the corner of the basement where the main line comes in and replacing it took the plumber life twenty minutes.

You can ask the plumber about coordinating with the city for shutoff. Maybe they’d know a guy?

But definitely don’t mess with it if. In my case I couldn’t find my external shutoff when I needed that internal one replaced so I had the city come locate it for me. They uncovered the plate, tested the valve and it broke immediately. Fixing it was a major excavation. The city guy told me how lucky I was that I hadn’t found it and tested it myself.
