Thanks for replying it's Samsung sghzv-10 old phone from 2005

That is likely reverse threaded. Try turning it the other way.

If it won't keep a charge I'd replace the whole battery. What phone is it out of

Put a stake with a string at the desired height away from the house. Now run that string to the negative grade, same distance from the top of the stake to the bottom. Now you know how much it needs to raise to counteract the negative slope.

You might get more specific advice from r/landscaping or r/gardening

Zipcut blade on a grinder will have it off in 10 seconds. The a quick trip to HD for replacement parts and you are good to go.

Ours was 1959 and had a weep screed (bay area), but not all homes do. There should be a clear enough delineation between the stucco and the foundation, so that's a good place to start your slope away from the house (a couple of inches below the stucco at least.

You should put it under the sink with a switch where it's easily accessible.

Hello thanks for replying by "he actually revived" it i meant the phone started and the SIM card pin screen appeared

New dishwasher has a manual. Read it.

This information is in the manual.

First make sure the charger is working by charging a different phone. Leave it on the charger for 24 hours and see if it takes a charge. When batteries go below a certain voltage their protection circuit disconnects them from the load. It may only trickle charge.

> he actually revived it

I don't know what that means. Ask him to do it again and give it a full charge. The battery or phone could be bad.

While tempting, that space is not appropriate. Your dishwasher installation manual will specify the exact location to drill a hole through the side of the cabinet to run the wires, water supply and drain line.

one caveat

The pull down faucet's hose can be interfered with by the junction box

You're thinking of "readily accessible":

> The NEC’s definition of readily accessible states: “capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to actions such as to use tools, to climb over or remove obstacles, or to resort to portable ladders and so forth.”

Just "accessible" requires not damaging anything, but does allow removing screws.

I'm guessing it must be "readily accessible" and that's why it's usually located in an adjacent cabinet.

Yeah, it’s pretty funny to argue like that because there’s a reason big companies make so much money. It’s because bulk discounts save a shit ton of money. Arguing OP saved money in any way is just ignoring reality. It doesn’t matter if the materials are different or not, they’re gonna last just as long. I love DIYing stuff. Like I said. We built the foundation completely by ourself. It was better than any contractor would ever build it. We were able to buy the materials in bulk so we saved a bit, probably not as much as a contractor though, but due to the hours put in I’m pretty confident we did a better job (we didn’t do it ourselves because we wanted to but because of bad planning on our part). It felt good to learn how to lay foundation properly.

One reason you dot and dab is so it can squish out and expand as you push the wallboard into place. If you did it like tile, made it really flat first then added grooves, you could get away with it, but it'd be a lot of work.

Unless you have tons of free time, I'd sell the 370 eur of stuff for whatever you get and buy the carpet glue. It won't be worth the aggravation to make do.

A junction box needs to be easily accessible. I think the dishwasher being screwed into place makes it considered inaccessible, like if you had to remove the counter top to get at it. Under the sink is fine. So long as you can get at it by opening cabinet doors or pulling a drawer.

Oh didn't see you said that, thanks for the help. Will give it a go tomorrow:)

Thanks - yup, this is stucco. Dug a bit and don’t see any weep screed - house was built in the 50s here in CA so not sure if that was code at the time

That's why I said "plastic and metal" and yeah a hacksaw with a blade intended for metal should do just fine on that, it's not like that metal rod is titanium ... but sure, try the other way first, no problem, might be easier.

Sadly I don't have any of those :(

This looks like stucco. You should (but may not) have a weep screed at the bottom which should have holes exposed to open air. Whe we bought our house part of the screed on one side of the house was completely buried under dirt.

You likely have some dirt removal in your future. If the ground is saturated with water it's an easier time to dig, though.

Hey I didn't include this in my photo but the metal rod you see extending through the piece with the screw stuck in it goes all the way to the handle which is broken, so I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to cut through with a hacksaw.

I think I'll try the second idea though I'll just have to find my hacksaw lol

Look up “gate city foundation” on YouTube. All he does is fix problems similar to this.

Adding dirt against the house won’t help since the moisture will seep through. You need to remove the grade in the yard or add a French drain

you've got plenty of wire to do so! good luck with the rest of the install
