I have to wonder where the excess humidity is coming from.

if it is clay it will need to be wetted for some period of time. If it is loam or sandy then just wetting it a couple days in advance will loosen it enough for a shovel and pick. I've used my landscape guy and his crew to dig out an area 60' x 12" to 18" and haul it away. Be CAREFUL of CO if...

are those spring loads clips that fit onto something? They appear to be soldered into the large part of the board which is probably a ground, and "Y" can designate an earth, however you need a schematic to know for sure. I have no idea why something is connected to one of them or what it is. It...

mostly the insulation for garage doors is not all that much but it does make a difference. Make sure the door is painted in a light color because if it is a dark color it is just collecting heat for you.

there may be a styrofoam recycler near you. It goes in a big machine and the squish it into a huge block. Then it is used for certain new things.

I collect old plastic business cards, the stuff that comes in the mail too. Use that over seam sealer and it will stop the leak for many years. Rust never stops, however it will continue to bubble and peel when you paint it etc..

If you are in the habit of running things down the outside of the house, which it sounds like you are, mount a board to the exterior from top to bottom, say like a 1 x 10 that is painted on both sides to match the siding. Then use that to mount all your cables, conduit to, etc.. Then paint them...

(1) put in a drywall or panel ceiling using furring strips to mount to that are cut to level. No one will see what is above it. Insulate too. (2) get a foundation expert in to level the part that has settled. (3) Live with it (4) Mount the cabinets low enough that the difference is less...

yes to what you said. We have a 20x25x1 at the return duct and a 24x14x1 in the ceiling at the back of the hours for the 3-ton air handler. That is barely enough with the 3M Filtrete 1900. I could not find another pleated filter that would work, and there is no room for more filter area. The...

Sorry you are having trouble. They won't know you need special accommodation unless you tell them. Try the company you want to get a quote from again. Send this "Hi, I am deaf, and e-mailing you to discuss a new HVAC system. Do you have anyone who can help me?" If they reply with no then let...

yes - the voltage rating is the max voltage it can safely handle. If the size is similar go for it. You could use a 1000 volt one if you wanted but the size would likely be too large. Think of it like the pressure rating on a hose. You can substitute a higher pressure rating but not a lower...

Using your link, the Flanders (and I looked at them a couple years ago) shows an initial resistance of .42 inches at 500 fpm on a 20X25X1 at 1750 CFM compared to .39 inches on the Filtrete 1900 at the same CFM. They recommend changing at 1" or over double that. Many air handlers are rated to...

depends what is under the siding. and if you know where electric lines and plumbing are, otherwise go down the corner of the house. What size RG cable is .625" (5/8)? RG6 is .267", RG11 is only .405.

the model I have is 2.5 ton on the AC with a 3 ton air handler, however the manual covers the static pressures on the entire series which goes up to significantly larger Carrier units. example

I checked BelMetric and they do not have a 15mm socket head bolt. All they have is the one shown in a link several posts above. Are you sure it is 15mm? That is a really weird size metric bolt. How about posting if you found a solution?

As I indicated - did every single nail and screw when re-siding house with T1-11. Carry a damp towel over the shoulder and a putty knife. Then 2 coats of paint. Of the thousands of nails and screws, only a few showed after 20 years...

makes sense that someone would want to protect their family and car but the problem is that accidents happen. As soon as we add a new feature people just take more chances. Its like ABS brakes. They were added to help people from skidding out of control. What do more people do, tailgate and...

I went online and found this. It may be your J-345. If so, there should be 240V between 1 and 2 where the power comes in. There should be 240V between J7 and J8wheher the machine is on or off. When the heater is on, there should be 240V between J9 and J10. There should be 240V between where the...

I use a good quality elastomeric painters' caulk I get from Kelly Moore. It doesn't sink. Then paint over it with two coats.

You have have "breakers" and not "breaker". The two will be tied together. There may be breakers or fuses in the electonics box. If the old heater broke and shorted to ground it could have popped one of those breakers or fuses. On the hot tub I had for years, there was a wiring diagram...
