    Milton Type A. Any quality parts store carries them. I've never had to replace one due to failure.

    Pantry ventilation

    There is a small fridge in the pantry which probably adds some heat. Also one wall is the exterior lanai wall, albeit insulated. Yes I have issues with some foods spoiling quick which is why I’m thinking of a way to remove the hot air. I’ve thrown in some thermometers and temps get up to 80-82...

    Pantry ventilation

    We typically leave one side open. The hinges are soft closing so we cant leave it cracked open though.

    Pantry ventilation

    During our kitchen remodel a few years back we went with a walk in pantry that’s about 8x8. The door only has about a 1/4” clearance to the floor. As the pantry stayed warmer than the house we had AC ducted to it with the company telling us it would stay cold in there since they used a dedicated...

    What kind of brace is this & where can I get one (see picture)

    Tension Ties. Got quite a few of them in my garage build in SW Florida. One at every king stud required here. I’ll say it really tightened the wall up.

    More Whatzits--Can we make this the official Whatzit thread?

    A few other items I haven’t seen. Google says red handle jobber is a carb holder? Not sure what the wrenches would have been used for.

    Garage floor slope

    Code would likely dictate the final outcome. My area is required to slope towards the doors. When I built my detached we used the min 1/8” per foot.m

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    Whole home RO systems are popular in my area. Typically around $10k with filter changes required 2-3 per year. I’d call around to some local water/well companies for quotes and info.

    Standing seam panels-Eastern US

    I'd call around to some local roofers and see who their supplier is. Typically they are made either on site or at a local shop.

    30amp RV on 14-50r

    I simply replaced the plug end on my 30amp cord (hot, neutral, grd) with a 50amp plug, but only utilized 1 hot leg. This would eliminate the adapter use. Yes the camper has a power center with 30a main. This is how I wired the cord.

    30amp RV on 14-50r

    Questions for the electricians. I'm looking to eliminate the 50-30 adapter I use to power my 30amp trailer at home. I have an extra cord and would replace the 30amp plug with 50 amp plug, but only use 1 leg. Would that be acceptable? I'm not a fan of the adapters has they always seem to cause...
