Sorta. I'd rather sell the extra battery since it's new in a retail package (even if I got $30-40) for it to off-set the tool purchase (effectively making the $80 tool & battery $40 for just the tool). Doesn't matter to me if the future purchaser tries to register it or not, but just didn't...

I have a kinda random question but don't know the answer. I've been slowly building a Ridgid tool collection and at times I buy the "kits" (comes with tool, batteries, and charger). I know in those cases you have to register everything in the "kit" to get their LSA which is fine. My...

I had the same issue with a delta setup. We have 2 shower heads as well (either one or the other on or both on at once). I’m not sure if our contractor hooked it up wrong but I had to order a 6 way valve (so my diverted handle now goes to 6 different preset clicks) and works fine. Was a little...

This is a stupid one to check but have you cleaned the bag and blown out all the dirt and dust? I have a probably 20 year old craftsman mulching mower and had a similar problem. I replaced the blades and did everything I thought of and when I really cleaned the bag it worked like a champ. I...

I have a flexzilla hose and a craftsman. Both are great and would recommend them to anyone. I got the craftsman one because of the warranty (so much for that in a way) but the flexzilla is nice. I have their air hose too and like it a lot. I just bought one of the flex hoses on amazon (ones...

I’ve used the suction method for years if the car allows from the dipstick. The only car I can’t do it on is my dads Chevy Colorado. I suppose if I found a thinner suction tube it might work but I love it. I use one of the Mitty vac fluid extractors. I had a cheap liquivac for years but last...

Here’s a pic of the outside. I know it’s just the one screw to take the cover off but let me see what I can do. That plug that’s empty has always been there. The only new additions are those dual breakers and the one for the ac

That is a good question. Yes. The cheater ones are where the bedrooms were before. They are on what looks like to be 2 20 amp breakers. I’ll attach a picture. Is it possible they are just crappy breakers that were put in? I guess in theory it should work fine but it’s beyond me. I have a...

Hey guys. I have a random problem and thought I’d ask here. I have an older home with pushmatic breakers and 100 amp service. It’s a small 3 bedroom 2 bath home here in Southern CA. I have all gas appliances and the only big items we have are is the microwave, washer and dryer, and the furnace...

I'd really try to hire a safe mover. They have a fancy dolly that will walk it up or down stairs with ease. It's one of those things I'd rather pay for then attempt to do it myself for fear of damaging something or worst case myself. Once it's down there it's down there until you move (which...

I totally agree. I'd rather pay more for a better product and install. The company we had come out is pretty well known in town and has a good reputation. Plus from what I can find online carrier products aren't too bad. I tried calling 3 different places today which came recommended and...

I'm new to some of the terms. Do you mean up flow attic I think yes. I wish I had a basement but I don't know anyone that does. Wasn't popular here on the coast. I'm making a couple calls Monday to see on some secondary quotes. I probably will try to get at least 2 more and go from there. Only...

I am in so cal (Santa Barbara). I got the quote to add AC. Was $6,000+. I may need to pass on that. Was more than I had originally thought. Currently the furnace pulls air in from a register in our hallway and vents out a stack through the roof. I think or am pretty sure the quote has some...

So I got a quote for a new furnace. It was $2300 to remove the current one and install a carrier branded unit with new sheet metal where needed and new thermostat. There was an option for a two stage unit for $200 more. I had the company come out and measure for adding AC while we are at it...

Sorry for the sideways pic. I tried to change it on my iPhone but it was a weird day. We have someone scheduled to come out and take a look at it either Friday or Monday. I'm prepared if they say it needs to be replaced to bite the bullet and do it. After some of the warmer days we had this...
