My one idea will be to go to my local plumbing supply store and show them some pics with the outer diameter measurement of the pipe. Maybe they can order me a wall thimble to complete the install ? My once concern is how easy the current pipes will come apart , hopefully easy . My dad used to...

The exhaust pipe is going through the wall in my garage to the outside. Plumber did not put a tag on his work .

Would love to have the original guy come back but he blew me off , called many times and have seen him working in the neighbohood . mentioned the issue to him in person and he would not stop by to fix it ... nice huh ? The unit sits about 2 feet from the hole in the insde wall. Was hoping to...

Anybody out there with some suggestions ? would like to get this fixed before it gets too cold . thanks for any help .

That would make sense. it just did not look right to me on the final install. Hoping I can fine something to get it to where it should be . Hoping somebody will give me a good idea on what I could use . Maybe he forgot to use the other half of a wall thimble like this ? Figure it might be a...

Hello and good day everybody. Have a forced hot air system in my garage and it is a great feature. Looking to seal up square hole anr around the the pipe . Also thinking a cover over the drywall would be a good idea. The plumber who installed was contacted but I could not get him back for...

Jim B , I did spray the acid on and moved it around with a stiff bristle brush. the pics you see with the spiral was my old power washed that was on its was out ( spewing water everywhere and losing pressure ) I ended up going from an electric to a gas power washer. the tip was 1-2 inches from...

My grandfather ( god rest his soul ) had a saying that you might want to consider. " if you have nothing good to say, do not say anything " for your information Legacy " assured me " that I could use an acid etch. no reason to try and insult me, that shows the kind of person you are .

Glad I could make you laugh, the water company has made a few bucks off me the last few days. rancherbill, the photo you showed is the untouched concrete . I did ask the mason and he said there was nothing added to the concrete at all. I did gte a few drops of pint on the surface and it sticks...

Thanks for the suggestion Pauls_ workshop. I agree that it seems like the acid really left a mess. I have both items at home and it should only take a few minutes to try. i have used the vinegar when car detailing for water spots as long as they have not been in there too long. if they did not...

Well for starters I was " assured " that etching would be more than adequate for the starting prep on this project. if the floor "had " to be ground then I would have either prepared for that or gone another route. for me to grind I will need to purchase a respirator since I do not own one...

I used every tip that came with my pressure washer. started out with the mild 40 degree, then the medium most used 25 degree, then the 0 degree. it should come out everybody says but yet it remains. for all you looking to epoxy or coat make sure to test your floor before buying product , do not...

Thanks for the advice on the fiberglass. have to admit hitting the white spots with 3,000 for a few minutes at a time from close range you would expect them to go away. well either way we learned some valuable lessons from this. first one is attempt to etch before you spend a lot of money on a...

just finished painting my garage last week so not looking to make any more dust. also spending a lot more money is not what I had in mind. if I am going to shell out any more cash I can just install tile or something else at this point. hard to believe there is not an easier solution to some...

I understand what you are saying about using the Ammonia to neutralize the acid. still hoping that somebody can help me figure this out. not able to move any further until the white mess goes away for good. I keep reading online the the calcium can be removed with a calcium/ mineral chemical...
