    My whole house water filter and softener project.

    Very nice! I'm curious if you had any trouble changing the filters. I have a few of those whole house filters under my sinks, and the bottom is usually a tough sob to get off. I usually disconnect them from the plumbing so I can take them out where I have enough space to get enough torque to...

    LM8500 Wall Controller Failure.

    Is the wall unit the receiver for the remotes? Isn't there an antenna hanging out of the opener itself?

    LM8500 Wall Controller Failure.

    I think you're dead on. When you first plug in the opener with the 888lm connected, it takes a few minutes for "charging" before it's ready to work. Mine has just started leaving the light on all night randomly, which is unacceptable as it illuminates my garage like a storefront at night for...

    Show us your compressor plumbing and manifolds

    Just finished putting this pre-tank coil together for my compressor. My first time working with copper so it's not pretty but it definitely cools the air and removes some moisture. Working on the post-tank manifold next

    Mildew on stucco along cracks

    The home is wood frame. No signs of any delamination or buckling. I do have weep screeds. This is only occurring on the south side of the house on the first floor, and in the south half of the east side of the first floor. The stucco goes right up to the window frames, and there are no other...

    Mildew on stucco along cracks

    That makes sense, and I guess the question is, why would you apply this coating without adding some sort of vent for the mositure to get out? The coating obviously can't be removed, so now that it's there, what can be done?

    Mildew on stucco along cracks

    I am in Florida. If it makes any difference, this started around early June, which is also when we started getting rain nearly every day. This has been a very wet summer. I thought it was normal for water to penetrate stucco. As to the coating, is that designed to seal the stucco surface? If so...

    Mildew on stucco along cracks

    I am a new homeowner to this 15 year old house that was coated with Sherwin Williams sherlastic elastomeric coating last may. Over the last few months, and especially the last few weeks, I've had black mildew growing on the house that traces the cracks in the stucco. It seems the elastomeric...

    I didn't even know they had stores... Just called my local one and they had no idea what I was talking about. Is this something they have to order or something?

    Two two garage with slanted garage floor

    That sounds like a cool idea. I have a slope of around 2-3" in my garage, and I did a level stripe and it looks great.

    House a/c issue

    Do you have a ceiling fan in the bedroom? That can help a lot. I would also consider adding a ductless system for the bedroom if your gf wants to sleep in a refrigerator, they are efficient and you don't have to freeze out the entire house

    Is my central ac wearing out?

    I've always assumed that it was much more efficient to have the ac run in the evening time to cool down the house than to have it run in the afternoon at the hottest time of day with the sun beating down on the condenser. In my case, for my upstairs which is the problem, we don't go upstairs...

    Is my central ac wearing out?

    So a little more info... I took the evaporator coil cover off and the expansion valve and about the lower third of the evaporator is wet and cold, about 35 degrees. The upper portion of the evaporator coil however is warm, about 77 degrees. This is measured with return air temps of 81 and...
