The model of this MacBook is A1398 EMC 2909 that came out in 2015.

I burned only one CD. The gap between songs was 5 seconds for that CD.

Glad it was helpful!

This MacBook Pro was purchased in 2018 from Apple website.

​@@happydiytimeDid it come out in 2018?

Thank you 🙂

In general, if the CD burns and plays successfully, but sounds scratchy or distorted, especially on the high number tracks, then a slower burn speed might be needed. I did not try the slowest speed. I think, generally, with a slower speed, the quality of burning is higher, the burning time is longer, and the burned CD is compatible with a wider range of CD players.

​@@happydiytimeWhat high number tracks?

The high number tracks refer to the outer tracks.

To copy the audio files from a CD to your library, click Import CD near the top right corner of the Audio CD Music window. Select your import settings, then click OK.

On the computer, change the name of the playlist, and the title of a CD is changed accordingly before burning it.

I am not sure I understand your question correctly. When the songs are burned onto the CD, they are arranged in a certain order. If the CD player has the Shuffle Play mode, the songs can be played in random order.

​@@happydiytimeI meant to say, select any songs that you want, on a CD.

​@@happydiytimeYeah, that's what Daniel meant.

Yes, we can select any songs we want on the CD using a knob on the CD player in the car.

​@happydiytime No, Daniel, and I meant to burn any songs you want from the computer to the CD that is not in a certain order.

Before burning the audio CD in this video, I burned an audio CD without using Sound Check and found that the volumes of the songs on the same disc were quite different from each other, and I had to increase or decrease the volume manually for each song when they were playing. When using the Sound Check, as shown in this video, the volumes of all the songs are scanned and adjusted so that all the songs on the same disc play at the same volume.

​@@happydiytimeBut how are they scanned and adjusted?

The laptop in this video is MacBook Pro. I bought it from Apple website: www.apple.com/us-edu/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro On Amazon, you may search for "MacBook Pro" and you will find many links for MacBook Pro.

​@@happydiytimeWhat about on eBay?

On eBay, you may also search for "MacBook Pro" and you can find many "MacBook Pro" products.

​@@happydiytimeOh, ok.

Thanks for your comments and tips!

Yes, thank you! :-)

Thanks for sharing your experience! You did a great job! I agree that it is worth trying the rebuilt kit first. I considered the rebuilt kit for my PRV and found that the price difference was ~$20. The new PRV (1 in. NR3XL) was ~$85 from Home Depot and the rebuilt kit was ~$65 from Amazon. I appreciate that you have shared some key technical details for using the rebuilt kit. Next time, I will try the rebuilt kit. It will be a lot of fun and decrease the cost.

Yes, the "sprinklers" in the video refer to lawn water sprinklers. For the fire suppression water sprinkler system, as far as I know, the maximum pressure is 175 psi. As long as the municipal water pressure is below 175 psi, you do not need to worry about it, I think.

@@happydiytime Thank you. Yes, I came across that 175 psi number in several sources, too.

Good question. Actually I bought the new complete valves of the same brand (Eastman Speed-Flex) and took the new stems out of the new valves, see 10:20 in the video. Home Depot has BrassCraft multi-turn valve stem repair kit: www.homedepot.com/p/BrassCraft-Multi-Turn-Valve-Stem-Repair-Kit-BCSR01/204845385 It might also fit with the valves of other brands, but I did not try it.

I am in the US, Home Depot carries them.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I've been wondering why I don't have an expansion tank. Duh! I'm on a well with a pressure tank.

You are welcome! Yes, try this before replacing the whole valve. :-)

Thank you 🤗

Question, do i need to replace the rotary valve with a ball valve to pass inspection? does expansion tank needs to be secure to wall or can it be without it as long as is connected directly to the pipe, thank you

@@pilot0208 Not required to replace the rotary valve, but a simply good idea to, since they often get gummed up & fail to work properly. The tank will likely need some kind of added support, in case it gets water-logged and the extra weight could make the pipes fail.

Also having the air valve accessible on the top lets it be checked for pressure and bladder rupture.

Thanks for your helpful suggestions!

@@RVail623 thanks for the info. I am trying to do this on my own. I understand that you are supposed to match the water pressure your water valve regulator outside the house is set to , to the expansion tank, I replaced mine but did not really tested it before I replaced it so I don’t really know what was the pressure it was set to before, so the question is what is it supposed to be set to? Does it goes based on how big the house is? How the city says is supposed to be set to? Reason I ask is because I have seen some videos and their houses were set differently, some were 80psi and some 50. Any help on this is greatly appreciated

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comments.

Thank you :-)

Thank you! I am glad you like this video. Yes, we are in SoCal. :-)

That is great. Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome. Glad it helped. :)

We can do this as long as we have the audio files. The audio files for the CD in this video were not from Apple Music.

Thank you for sharing your ideas!

The union connection is sealed by the rubber gasket. In this case, I think, the teflon tape is not needed.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

The gap size between the doors and the floor is normal to me. Yes, if a smaller gap is preferred, the doors might need to be replaced with longer ones; but the installation of bottom guide can follow the same procedures shown in this video, and the only difference is the thickness of the wood base.

The channel locks should also work very well for this purpose as long as it has sufficient jaw capacity. The jaw capacity of my channel locks is not large enough to clamp the union connectors and the body of pressure reducing valve. So I used pipe wrenches in this work.

Thank you very much for the helpful information! I am very interested in the low-cost approach you suggested and will definitely try it next time. It would also be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the inner structure of the pressure reducing valve. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your comment. The old top gasket was installed back 13:58-14:05. The package of the new pressure reducing valve includes one new gasket. The old bottom gasket was replaced with the new gasket. If possible, it is better to replace the old top gasket with a new one as well.

@@happydiytime ok I saw removal where top gasket stayed

I guess the main reason is the disc format. For the disc format, choose "Audio CD" (as shown in the video) instead of "MP3 CD". Audio CDs are stored in the media in its original uncompressed form; however, MP3 CDs are stored compressed. As far as I know, most CD players in the car can play audio CDs but not MP3 CDs. Hope this information helps. Good luck!

In my reply just now, I forgot to mention that I had the same problem as you described (always loading) when I first made a CD using the "MP3 CD" disc format. I made another CD using the "Audio CD" disc format, then it can be played using the CD player in my car. After inserting the blank CD disk drive, in the pop up window, choose "Audio CD", that should solve the problem. As the files in audio CDs are stored in its original uncompressed form, the maximum number of songs in one disk is somewhere between 20 and 30 in general. You might need to burn at least two CDs for 55 songs.

​@@happydiytimeMaybe divide them?

​@@happydiytimeI do not know if you can divide songs for 2 CD's.

After the audio files for the songs are copied into the playlist, the total time will be shown on the computer screen. In this video, there are 16 songs and the total time is 40 minutes, as shown on the screen (see the video 0:09-06:12, ). The maximum time for the CD I used in this video is 80 minutes (written on one side of the CD disk). So for this CD, I can burn songs with a total time up to 80 minutes. If more songs need to be burned, I will have to burn a second CD.

volume too low

Nice job but really not necessary to replace flooring screws as the silicon and closet bolts will insure that the spacers never move!

Hello Camilla, thank you for your comment! The hardwood flooring was ~$760 for this 160-square-feet room. In order to do this project, I bought some additional tools and materials, as listed below, that costed ~$270. So the total cost was around $1,030. saw, caulk, caulk gun, cement patcher, trowel, backer rod, oscillating multi-tool, wood multi-purpose reducer, sealant, painter's tape, nail punch set, putty, hardwood floor installation kit, and molding.

Hi Yajaira, I am sorry I don't have an answer for this question. You might need to check with Home Depot about this. Good luck!

Hi Cristhian, it is an excellent question. Here is the information from the installation instruction for this flooring: "When installing over a crawl space or concrete slab, it may be necessary to use a moisture barrier to prevent moisture migration. A plastic film with a minimum thickness of 6 mil should be placed with a 4 - 6 in. (101.6 - 152 mm) overlapped seam, and taped with a suitable tape." I did not use the moisture barrier as I feel that the moisture is not a problem for my location. But in general, it is a good idea to add a moisture barrier. Thanks for your question.

Hi John: Yes, it is floating. In terms of installation method, there are at least two different designs for the floating engineered hardwood floor: "click lock" and "tongue and groove". The following two links have some relevant information about these two designs. www.uniquewoodfloor.com/blog/click-lock-floating-wood-floors-vs-tongue-and-groove-style-part-1/ www.uniquewoodfloor.com/blog/click-lock-floating-wood-floors-vs-tongue-and-groove-style-part-2/ The glue is not needed for the click lock design but is needed for the tongue and groove design. The floor in this video is the click lock style and no glue is needed between the board edges. The boards stay together very well so far by the click-lock mechanism. Good luck with your installation project!

Hi Alli: That is a very good observation. There was no leak or poor water drainage since I moved into this house over one year ago. It may have been induced by some water issue several years ago. I removed the mold by scraper and sandpaper and then painted the surface before installing the floor. Your question reminds me to keep watching this part over time. Thank you! We don't have pets and the floor has not gotten wet. So far, we use it as the playroom for kids. There are no observable scratches so far. It might need to take more time to test how well the floor holds up to wear and water. Thank you.
