A few years ago I rented a small backhoe it, wasnt up to the task.I took it back then had a guy come in with a larger machine. He accomplished more in a few hours than I did in a day with the rental.....also how are you getting the rental to the job site?

very impressive! how did you do the roof insulation and with what?is there ventilation between it and the in side of roof?......thanks Kirk

I have small house 800 sq ft. bungalow.The main duct is less than a 36ft straight run. The furnace is in cente of basement off to one side.Im not sure if static pressure is that high in this case.I do know that Ive had no problems with adequate heat getting to all the rooms..........Also I...

Yes in the end it is all about risk,but risk can be known and calculated and then you can come up with a probability factor....For instance whats the fail rate statistics on a Goodman 46,000 btu 2 stage 95% efu furnace?Also over what time?Anecdodal (sp?)evidence is not really a good...

The 20yr old Keeprite has never failed until now.I dont know how reliable the new furnaces are. Im guessing not as much as the old.But for 700$, less for a single stage I can afford to change one every 3 yrs.Not trying to be smart here just a calculated risk I am willing to take.The plenam will...

I have a lot of chipped ,peeled and lifted paint on my garage.I inquired about blasting it off with soda or some other media that was somewhat wood friendly to save time and effort.I was advised that you need loads of air like one of those IR construction grade compressors or it would take...

Hello Steves32, thank you for the input and taking the time to give a detailed and well explained response.In hindsight maybe I should have started my own thread on this subject,this thread was started by someone else.I never said "one hour in and out" or "plug and play" and I can see how some...

I also dont care about how well finished duct work looks.Its in the basement nobody sees it, its not a work of art.I only care thats its functional.Im sure if one of you looked at it you could pick out some faults.I know that most of this stuff is standard dimension and I know youre going to say...

You know I asked a HVAC related related question on here a few days ago.What I asked was : is the reason that chimneys are useually higher than the peak of the roof was to prevent backdraft?.......NOBODY answered this,but as soon as someone talks about any DIY HVAC stuff you guys jump all over...

I stated that a homeowner here can do work on their own property .I didnt say I could go out and be a HVAC guy and just start offering my services,which i cant.Last year I upgraded my electrical myself and I took out a permit and yes you MUST have your work inspected buy the Ontario Electrical...

Curious what kind of snakes?

Maybe not the right forum for this,but i have never done this and that is post photos on line.But since Im doing this work on the garage it might be good to post pics to explain or illustrate what I am doing, or trying not to do....and yes I should know this stuff is online out there somewhere...

Hey Bill ,I think Dennis has given you great advise,and i see many people are giving you advise, good advise at that.I can relate to your problem but my situation is not as extreme as yours.Structure has just been mentioned here and I know about lack of structure.I found out about 10 yrs ago...

If you plan on minimum 40 deg then you shouldnt have a problem with freeze up?You might be able to create some sort of catch basin for the water and then just empty it manually on a periodic basis.Just wouldnt want to see you pay for a furnace that wont even be around in a year.....Just like...

Also if plastic is part of the bumpers or anywhere that is collision absorbing then you should use flex agent.Or the first time you bump up against something the paint will crack.

I met a guy I havent seen for a few yrs at Lowes the other day.He wastelling me he just built a 4 car garage behind his house.Told me he looked at radiant floor,radiant gas tube and Reznor wall mounted gas furnace.He said he was advised not to go with wall mounted radiant heat because of the...

hello Zeke.. I will try out cracking the connection at the valve.In theory the gas valve is circumvented when hold down to light pilot is actuated.So even if gas valve is faulty it shoudnt stop the gas from flowing in this case?The thermo couple is the next sequence in starting the furnace so...
