I ended up creating another Gmail account and only use it for GJ. It is still strange that I only get emails from about a third of the threads I'm subscribed to... :headscrat

Ugh - just when you think it can't get any worse... At least it sounds like the plumber you got was a good one!

Yes and they just sent me a notice that my storage (all of us) on the free version was being increased - that doesn't sound like a shutdown to me...

****! I hate to hear that... I have SO MUCH tied to my Yahoo, and everything else is still working just fine. I'd have to switch soooo many other things to another email account, one that I monitor regularly... I sent a PM to Ryan to see if he knows of anything that can be done. It was a good...

Two different PCs: one is a Win 10 Laptop running Chrome and the other is a Win 7 Desktop running Firefox. Other forums I am on all notifications are coming into my Yahoo mail like normal. I'm worried on my laptop that my 30 days will run out and I'll be locked out of GJ...

I'm adding to this old thread rather than creating a new one with the same (and more) issues. I no longer receive anything from GJ to my Yahoo email account. Nothing is showing in spam either. It started as occasionally not getting a notification to a thread I was subscribed to here and there...

I don't know on the B&S but usually the top lid only swings up to a vertical position and I had to go back and look at pics to see the genset backs to a bush (edited my post). I don't think your plants will die on the exhaust side - but you will find out! And ABSOLUTELY upon completion (gas...

@foodie the biggest reason you wouldn't want the genset turned around is serviceability - the top lid (see the lock in front?) tilts back towards the bush and then the front and side panels can be removed so oil changes and valve adjustments etc., can be done from the front side. The (or a) flex...

I'm the one that has the terminology wrong here - romex was the closest I had... But in any case that electrical run MUST be in conduit, correct? She's already getting the gas line switched to iron pipe - yet it is in flex pipe in her basement... Thanks for helping her....

Trying to post full size picture:

I've encouraged her to post here - the lower grey line strung along the brick is 240V in romex. IIRC it needs to be ridged conduit and separate wires (THHN?) inside that conduit...

I'm sure it was way earlier in this thread... We had both units and their mates put in for $20K - and they are quieter and seer 14 (minimum for CA)....

Forgot to put in what my HVAC guy said on what you measure running amp wise, versus Max RLA: anything close to 50% of Max RLA and you are golden - even up to 70-75% you likely have years left. We were at 90%+ and our poor guys were just getting tired (plus thy were blowing through the...

I bet the heating/air handler side is fine and what you are probably most worried about is the AC condenser unit. Your Brother will likely tell you to check the running amps on the unit and it is a pretty decent tell on the health of it. We proactively replaced both our splits just because our...

I've got bad pumps with good motors and the opposite - no bad tanks
