  • Yeah but the guys at Home Depot are a crap shoot. Some guy you can tell you what want and they’ll take you right there. Other guys are like plumbings over there, or just look lost when you use the “correct” terms.

    Ask them for a mip to mpt and they’ll be lost. But then ask them for a hose to pvc and they’ll can maybe figure it out. I usually try to order online when I can, or go to the suppliers around town, but they aren’t open on the weekends.





  • Honestly not overly, I’ve dabbled with plumbing before.

    Red seal Carpenter going on for 18 years, but I’ve also renovated my own house plumbing and electrical. This is just a larger version of an Aeroponics system I made for cannabis.

    When I’m doing projects like this for my house this always pops into my head.

    I had soaker hose last year, it didn’t survive to be installed again. This will be removed and put away for the winter.

    I do know I will cut between the T and 90 to install a disconnect so it’s smaller for storage though, but that was planned to not be done yet.


  • There are a surprising amount of Calgarians on Lemmy and specifically this community too, it’s weird.

    The pipes and fittings are just from plain ol Home Depot, and the misting nozzles are left over from my aeroponics system I made, but Amazon was the place.

    I use 120v aquarium pump for my aeroponics and it works, I don’t know how many heads you could put on before the pressure loss makes it useless. My system just has 12 on it, it pumps nutrients and everything for my cannabis though.




  • It’s in case there is a fire upstairs…

    If you’re on a third-fourth-fifth etc. story window, and the fire is outside your doors you’re also trapped. So this can’t be the reason for the required basement windows.

    Code specifically requires the need for one exit window, AND not all rooms need them, only sleeping areas, and only one needed even if there is multiple. Offices don’t, gyms don’t, bedrooms only. Some local codes go above and beyond this and most their own various reasons. Like some places requireing every unit on a high rise to have a fire escape. These are FAR from the norm, sitcoms love having them though, so they seem more ubiquitous than they are. It’s also per unit, not every bedroom in the unit… for the same reason as above.

    You’re right people have thought about it, but you’re not correct, at all.

    Wait… I found the issue, where did I say the plants magically change colour? Your entire argument has been about something I’ve never stated and you assumed that I meant they randomly change colour?

    Go back through the comments and you’ll see that I don’t state that, in fact my comments all talk about how they die end of season and come back differently. I also dead head, so they couldn’t have hybridized, but of course this is another point you just ignored in your bloviated rant….

    You insult MY reading comprehension, when you started an argument over something YOU assumed?

    All I said was they change colour, than every comment you go and explain how they do while thinking I was talking genetics? Please show where in my comment you got this stupid idea from. Show the class, please. Of course some die, the environment conditions (which is what I was talking about) affects those. I never argued any of these points, yet in every response you assumed I was arguing with you. Get help dude.

    If you’re a commercial plant breeder I feel sorry for your clients.

    In your last comment you say there is only a few resellers, which is applicable in the US, where I don’t reside. You also link the McKanas giant mix. Which clearly my 1” blooms aren’t… so your entire claims should be brought under question. I even stated this in my previous comment, which you of course ignored since it shows your lack of comprehension.

    You are the type of person who just googles something and runs with it aren’t you? Your first link even talks about how they do change colour, so it really sounds like you have a surface depth knowledge and are bloviating about adjacent topics to make yourself look smart.

    You can’t even provide a source that backs up your claim, and almost all other sources and nurseries say otherwise. __ So yeah, if you are actually a commercial breeder, people either need avoid you, or you probably aren’t what you claim.

    I also haven’t argued with you about anything, you keep going off on tangents when I talk about my plants shifting colours as they naturally do, like your own link even states… so if you enjoy arguing with yourself, you should maybe go and get checked out mate. Because this is completely one sided.

    You mis ID the plant and have talked with such confidence about the US situation…. where I don’t even reside… for the umpteenth time.

    It’s not McKanas, there’s more than one mix of columbines.

    I’m also not in the USA.

    This isn’t just one nursery dude. Your own link doesn’t even corroborate what you’ve said. We shopped multiple nurseries. You’re literally the only one on the internet claiming this.

    I know this is more than one plant…. That’s why the colours shifting, because some have died out, and some have changed colour. Again for the third bloody time, this never started with red in it. And nothing you’ve provided have said they don’t change colours. In fact they say they do, I even provided the part of YOUR source that states this.

    You’re wrong dude, leave it.

    And you don’t seem to be able to comprehend that most people don’t have large enough gardens to supply proper hybridization, so it naturally goes back to the natural colour. If I had a large garden, what you said CAN happen, but in almost all situations, it doesn’t properly interbreed, it reverts to its natural colour.

    Also, again, no reds to begin with, and I’ve dead headed the plant every year, it’s never seeded itself.

    Most people will have columbines that shift back to the natural colours, not provide hybridization since there’s not enough to compete with the naturals, so they take back over. So what you’re describing, isn’t what most people will see with their plants. If you want to talk about edge cases like it’s the norm. Go and bloviate dude.

    This was all stuff we were warned about ahead of time by the nursery.

    Your link doesn’t support what you say. Like at all.

    Over many years, interbreeding can result in a stable population that is a completely different color. Alpine meadows filled with columbines of an intermediate color have been observed throughout the western United States.

    They change colours, the specifics are moot. Red is what’s natural here, so they will usually shift back to that colour. If blue is natural where you are, the flowers will typically shift back to that colour.

    The mix didn’t have any red to begin with either.
