If you need older furnace or a/c parts. Let me know what you need. No oil furnace stuff. A picture of what you need with a model number is best. PayPal works best but will consider other. I test my parts and stand behind them to work. I will warranty the part for 30 days but not the return...

I've seen that black solid (no drain holes) corrugated 4" drain pipe used. Rather inexpensive no joints and flexible. Ron

Ya your right I looked it up. Check out my post 14. On temp rise. Sounds like for some reason the gas valve is turning off and on before it hits the set point. Could be a limit doing it job because of another problem. Or a faulty limit. See what your temp rise is at the furnace. Ron

Cycling on and off during the call for heat. What type tstat you have. Some older stats have a anticipator setting under the cover. You can remove the stat cover and see if you do. If so there should a arrow pointing to the word saying longer. Record the present setting and move it several...

I'm just saying there's lot of variables to discharge temps at the registers. You need to start at the furnace and see if it is at spec. Temp rise I've seen we're the inlet gas pressure was to low thus making the manifold pressure low. This can lower the BTU rating of the furnace. This time of...

That 103 temp seems a little cool. But lots of things can effect it. Check at the furnace air in air out. On name plate on furnace there should be a min. Temp rise and max. Temp rise. Example. Min. 40 degree max 70 degree. So if in temp is 60 and out temp is 120 you have a 60 degree rise...

Watched the video. My first thought is the venter motor is pulling more amps because it's old or worn. In the board there's a relay that that closed to power the venter. Venter motor is powered with 120volt relay in board is low voltage. So the relay has a primary side low voltage and a...

On your new tstat do they have battery's ? If so you should be able to hook your existing two wires one to red the other to white. All your doing with the stat is completing the circuit on the call for heat opening the circuit when temp is reached. Hope that helps. Ron

I have to agree with djjsr. I think you have negative pressure issue. Where you have cold outside air sucking down the warn pipe causing the condensation. If you had a positive pressure in the space. Warm air would draft up the flue pipe. You might get a little condensation from pipes in none...

Thanks for the update, I like the way you held in the plate bolts. Nice work it's always nice to have a nice flat surface to work from. That picture of waiting for concrete to cure brought back memory's. Seems I remember sending the wife to pick up some work lights to finish the slab. Ron

Thanks for the warm welcome. Marry Christmas to all. This is my 55 project been working on it a little over a year. This is a link to my 55 build. Ron http://www.trifive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93211

Thanks for posting looks like a nice project. I built a home and garage a few years ago in north Florida. It was on a slab it was amazing to me the hoops I had to jump thru to meet the hurricane standard. Even though the property was over 50 miles from the coast. If I remember right all the...

Thomas thanks for taking the time to post this never ending project. I have been reading along for several weeks. Your attention to detail is much appreciated. I need to catch up and stop skipping around. Just joined the journal tonight to show my appreciation to your accomplishment. Ron

Nice job, can't wait to see more. You have natural or LPG I'm sure you have plans for heat. Ron

Hello everyone, thanks for letting me join your site. I've been looking around for a while and have a lot of the same interest. Lots of interesting post, let me say thanks to all who take the time and effort to do so. I spend lots of time in the garage working on about anything. Sometimes I...
