  • 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.








  • The racing season is over for me and now I’ll spend the rest of the year building up miles as I try to hit my goal distance for the 2023. I’m trying not to lose any of the gains from this year by maintaining two speed workouts per week while also increasing mileage. The objective is to avoid injury by doing shorter speed working and slowing way down on the easy miles.










  • 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.
