SimpliSafe is great. Especially compared to the installation costs of a traditional wired alarm system, there's just no contest. The price of the monitoring is competitive and their call center people are quick, which isn't something I've always been able to say about other alarm services. Yes, there is a theoretical jamming attack. In practice it would be VERY difficult to pull off reliably for an actual break-in. Anyone clever and resourceful enough to do what it would take to bypass a SimpliSafe system would very likely be doing something more than residential burglary with their time. No, I wouldn't protect a jewelry store or a Beverly Hills mansion full of cash with this system, and I'd probably upgrade if I was a high-profile target of Elbonian assassins. But I have had it on my last few residences and I sleep very soundly whether I'm in my own bed or traveling. For 99% of use cases SimpliSafe is a tremendous value.

You and I and the rest of us here would watch but not the masses. [Warning, this turned into a rant] That's why cable sucks. Many networks used to cater to niche markets but now they all want the masses. A network will start with a good show and keep changing it more and more to try and pick up the Kardashian audience. That's how we ended up with the same show on every channel. Sure, the title is different, the genre is different, the actors are different but it's the same script over and over again. And I'm not sure if anyone actually enjoys it. It's the lowest common denominator of programming. Everyone is like "I guess I'll watch this irritating show since there is one tiny aspect about it that I like and I have no alternatives". Until KZread came out anyway. KZread has undergone some of same transformation unfortunately. It's harder and harder to find content like this. I worry the KZread algorithm will bury niche market channels so much that they lose motivation and profit. I hope I'm wrong about that.

omg, that wire staple explanation made my day.

I don't know how you managed to keep a straight face doing the wiring staple thing :D.

For anyone wondering, he mentions not ripping out the stairs and building new ones because all the pieces are there and just need repairing. I'd add the note that if he had ripped the stair out, the new stairs would be required to meet code, whereas the current ones don't but are "grandfathered" in. Not only do the current stairs not meet code for width or headroom, but it appears that the rise and run dimensions are also out of code (as are the landing and handrail, etc.). The stairs work and are OK, but a code compliant stair wouldn't fit within the currently allotted space, and would require a TON of reframing and changes to bedroom walls, moving the front door, and potentially moving other doors/windows, etc. Basically it's a huge snowball effect anytime you take an older (i.e. out of current code) stair and replace it. It's almost always preferable to try to repair it if possible because bringing these old stairs up to meet current codes adds a lot of work (generally will require a significant size increase too). Even a stair within a house built just 20 years ago likely doesn't meet current code, but will still "feel" fine to use (the stair in this really old house though does not feel great to use, but it is adequate). I've been in a lot of older homes like this where the stair tread (run) might be only 8" (or even as small as 7") when current code (in pretty much all of the US) requires 10". So on a typical older home there might be 13 treads, and adding 2-3" to each one really adds to the total run (length) space required. Same goes for each step's rise. Older homes, even if built within the old code, won't meet current code requirements. I've seen steps that are 8-9" high each, and replacing a stair with code compliant risers means being

This is what Im running into with my house. The stairs are a little loose on one side but not up to current code(house was built in 1948). Our plan is to just build a support for them with 2x4s and 4x4s because 1) it'll be cheaper and just as effective and 2) we do not have the room to get them up to code 😅 Our electrical also isn't up to code. That's unfortunately a fix we can't do ourselves so we are holding off until we finish the basement. It works fine and we put GFCI outlets where needed but absolutely nothing is grounded internally

@andrewcarr2431

current building code in our area is 36" wide (34" if you are really nice to the Inspector) 10" run and 7 7/8" rise. Which is great in a modern, open plan home but in an old farmhouse with wonky walls and low ceilings is impossible. Fixing or new bracing to make it safe is the only option. to put this into perspective we are currently rebuilding a small investment property and the new staircase takes up 1/3 of the floorplan....

@MastiffMike1

3 жыл бұрын

@@andrewcarr2431 Yep, 36" is the minimum width everywhere in the US, and while a nice inspector might let less slide, I'd never suggest anyone pins their hopes on that. I've heard of inspectors making builders rip apart whole houses to fix an out of compliance stair. Tha's why my suggestion to everyone is to repair don't replace unless they know all the ends and outs of their code requirements. Also, I do work in lots of different cities/states/areas and there can be a huge difference from building department to building department in how easy they are to work with (and how stringent they are). Always best to play it "safe" and avoid a hugely expensive "gotcha" later (be it at inspection time, or when selling the home).

If you repair an old building and the repairs do not meet current code regulations then how does one get insurance for the property? because if someone was was to have an accident in the property, all the insurance company has got to say is 'property not up to code, insurance claim void'.

From the beginning of this project the stair case has been (to me) the scariest yet coolest fix to date.

I remember in that other house you said you were going to pay someone to do the drywall and then did it yourself. This time you should say you are going to do all the drywall work and then have someone come do it for you. :-) I'm sure some here would complain that you didn't do it yourself. In all seriousness, would you prefer to have someone do the whole job, hang/finish the drywall or would you prefer to hang the drywall yourself and have someone come out and do the finish work?
