Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Rain head install from attic? Not concerned with freezing?

Pretty standard, the only way to do it on a top floor situation.

There's insulation on the pipe itself, and there will be lots of extra insulation on top of that as we're going to get some new blown installed as well and heap it up pretty good there.

The pipe was also slightly angled towards the head side of things, so it does drain back the top horizontal piece eventually for the most part. Downside is it drips for 5-10 minutes after you get out, but meh.

I’d be concerned. Maybe just me.

Does it self drain? But yeah I'd keep the pipe on the warm side of the insulation.

The rain head looks fun but I'd end up using the wall mount anyway.

Self drain? When the water is turned off, it stops. no drip drip drip.
Pipes aren't run in outside walls for the same reason.
I only use the rain head. Not much hair on my head though. Wife uses wall mount more as the water is under higher pressure. Better for rinsing hair.
 
Barely 2yr old 70” Samsung tv died yesterday. Blinking red light of death. Unplugged hdmi and tried resets but nothing worked. Probably power supply. Anyone have any luck fixing this at home? Fixed cheap I’ll turn it into a garage tv.

Bought a new Sony 75” Bravia at Best Buy yesterday and mount location on rear being far different meant I had to move my wall mount, then cut wall mount to accommodate wiring into wall, etc.
Stuff like this always seems to happen on days company are coming over :)

Yikkies that's chit. I've only had a Sony 40" flat screen for years, been a great TV. You should be good now.
 
We've got one Samsung that's around 15 years old. Only bad thing with our new one is that the remote is tiny and easily misplaced.

Not sure where you are
But there is a TV/audio repair shop in Milton.
Main and Thompson.
I think it's called Milton sound.

TV's are so cheap now and evolve so quickly (cheap tv this year can often look better than top of the line two years ago) that unless you personally fix it for fun, almost any issue is beyond economical repair.

Sad, but true. The world we live in now.
 
Cousins bought a new 80” tv from Best Buy. Tv got a single line through it intermittently that was barely noticeable.

BB came by….’yup that’s faulty’ so they got a new tv with a huge credit because now it’s cheaper.

‘So because of COVID we can’t have you return the tv. You’ll throw it out right?’
‘Yes…yes I will.’

Brand new tv in the living room, and a barely touched tv in the basement with a line that’s barely noticeable…..

I need that type of luck.
