I despise this whole disposable society and components that are not repairable for just this reason. When I get back into town from work I guess it will be the next project. Or better yet I can wait until it is cold out and dismantle the heating source just to give my wife something to nag at...

I can definitely hear the noise when the blower is turning after the burner has shut down. Not sure yet if it is going when the burner is lit. Possibly bearings or bushing in the squirrel cage?

I have a forced hot air, oil fired, down draft furnace. recently there seems to be a moaning noise when it is operating. Where to start looking for the problem??

I had my daughters 2 dogs living at the house thru the winter. So we have a section of the lawn that took an unusually large amount of urine and ***** matter. Is there a god fertilizer or treatment process to help this area?

Does your web site have any before/after pictures? Endorsements by satisfied clients?

I have an older dog that is becoming incontinent resulting in his spending much time in the garage. It has a cement floor which has become stained from the urine. I can't get the staining out. I would like to finish the floor with some product that would seal the staining / odor in and repel...

thanks for the link, interesting

Ok factoring in a load there must be a limit to the amount of stuff you can put on a 20 amp circuit though. I am building a shop with an apartment in a part of it. I have always understood that the limit on a circuit was 12 or 13 components

I understand that a circuit can have 12 receptacles. Does a light switch count as 1 of these twelve points? A GFCI can protect 5 receptacles down stream of it. In this circuit if another GFCI is installed (to protect the next 5 outlets) does the wiring now feed into the "line" side with the...

I have an in progress shop build going on. Radiant heat in slab, 32' X 32' with 16' walls. 6" slab was poured 6 months ago. The building is very tight with very little air exchange happening. I had noticed condensation between the insulation and vapor barrier so decided to try a dehumidifier...

Spend the time to compact it at each lift and wet it down then compact it again and again. I did mine myself and spent a lot of time compacting prior to laying down the insulation. It isn't a technically challenging task. Put in the tubing when you pour the slab and even if you do not do a...

I poured 6 inches of mud and never use an anchor over 4". Additionally Since I laid it out along the same lines as the rebar it is fairly easy to guesstimate where the pex is at.

It was. Sometimes I get completely lost with the Code discussion. I can barely find an answer at times.

I will probably just get a dryer cord and use it

the unit did not come with any wires or plug

Got it. I figured it would be 30 amp breaker, #10 wire and a disconnect switch. I planned a sub panel where the compressor is going and to run this 1 circuit would be $$ and work that would be torn out when the sub panel goes in later. Guess it is best to temporarily relocate the unit until I...

I have a new Dewalt compressor that has a 3.5 hp motor and draws 17 amps. It is 220 volts. I believe it needs to be wired into a 2 pole 20 amp breaker. Can I use 12/2 to feed it? The connections show 2 hot wires feeding the motor and there are 2 screws on the plate with ground emblems...

It is stick framed, balloon framing Ceiling is insulated with R-30 and 6 mil plastic. Not sheathed yet Good air circulation in attic with trusses and baffles at eaves and vents installed. No insulation between the siding and tyvec Just wet at the top. I pulled the insulation and plastic away...

The Kraft face an poly are on the heated side. This is an out of pocket project. I used the Kraft vs unfaced insulation then covered it with the poly since it was not sheathed as promptly as I would have liked.

I have a shop with 16' walls, T1-11 siding, Tyvec wrap, 2 X 6 framing, R-19 craft backed insulation and 6 mil vapor barrier. I am finding a a lot of condensation on the inside of the Tyvec. The inside of the building is heated with radiant heat kept about 50 - 60 degrees. The walls are...
