Does it give other options? Mine has a 'sign in options', one of which is to use a password instead of a PIN.

Great video. We just sparked up our new AC systems and I was thinking that the 'exhaust' air out the top was not much warmer than ambient. It makes sense that this is a good thing.

I've done that before as well. It works - as long as the marks are not covered, as was pointed out. I usually use a stud finder <insert pointing-at-myself joke here>, and it works OK unless there are other items behind the wall that confuse it. I learned a trick from our finish carpenter for the house we just built. He had a little doo-dad which was really no more than a magnet. So now I use small disc rare earth magnets (like you use for door catches, etc) to find the drywall screws. Then I just put a piece of blue tape up and mark the stud location that way. When I am done, I remove the tape. I have not missed a stud yet.

I put together a clamp rack for my new shop space. Floor space is at a premium, so having them scattered all over the floor was a real problem. This is a small utility/electric room just off my shop so I made use of the wall.

I looked into this years ago - but after I got things set, I promptly forgot all the details. I found this, which is pretty good overview: https://toolguyd.com/quick-guide-to-air-line-couplers-plugs/ I like the idea of color-coding them. Now, if only DC fitting manufacturers could do the same!

50!! wow, congratulations!

Yes, I've had that for a while now - it's from Wynn. I've thought about mounting it on the bottom so I can raise the entire assembly up and get a taller barrel - maybe once things are running smoothly I'll look at that.

So I'm at what I'll call "version 1" of my new shop space. I'm sure some additional tweaks to the layout will come, and I still have a lot of stuff in crates that need to go up on the walls. I also need to figure out my router table plan - I think I'll put it on the TS extension wing like I had before. The door that is slightly open is into our (finished) basement. The door with the coats hanging is for the furnace room; the one with the whiteboard goes into a utility space (electric panel, water heater, and some storage). The final door goes to a set of stairs up into the back yard.

Same. Of course, growing up it's 'cause we only had the one shower. with 9 kids We did. I thought about a more conventional tank system but got enough good feedback from people I know, who like their demand system. Haha - that's a good point. We just built our 'forever home' and while it's just the two of us most of the time, the kids are home a lot, and I expect at some point grandkids as well, so we went a little overboard in some regards.

I think this has been of of the "big issues" with these units over the years. From what I've heard they are now much better about handling varying demands. you definitely want to right-size it. When I discussed it with our plumber, he sized it to handle all of the loads in the house (3.5 bathrooms, 2 dishwashers, laundry, and a tub). We haven't run anything all at once yet, but hopefully we don't run into issues. I made a comment to the plumber about having the HW run constantly, and he shared a story about a friend of his that put a slip and slide in the backyard for the kids or a party or something. He turned the unit down to 90degF, and used that for the s&s, and it just ran for hours and hours with no issues. I'll still turn the HW off if one of the kids takes a marathon shower , but it's good to know the supply will always be there.

Following up on this thread ... we're having the plumber in (today, actually) to replace it with a gas fired unit. With some of the long runs and the recirc pump, the hybrid just clearly could not keep up when in hybrid mode. I've had it in full electric mode for the most part, but power is so expensive here it's not worth it. The rep never actually came out - apparently they rarely due since COVID - but he had some interesting info for the plumber which just reinforces it is not right for us.

You can change this. This is all for 'security', which - as Robby said above - was a big focus of Win11. On your computer, click the Start menu. Select Settings. Select Apps. Select Apps and Features. Under the first heading, "Choose where to get apps" or "Installing Apps", click the drop-down box. Select Anywhere or Allow apps from anywhere. I upgraded my personal desktop from Win10 to Win11 about 2 months ago, mostly because I knew I would have to eventually. A few minor things to get accustomed to with the interface, but overall pretty good. I agree that they should stop tweaking the UI - this move to incomprehensible icons is maddening. I also do not like that the taskbar is centered, so thank you @Chestnut for that tip. My Start button and icons are now in the corner, where they belong

Not a bad idea. I do have a few smaller wall sections (above the lathe and above the jointer) where that approach would work well, and give great flexibility for mounting stuff.
