    Heater Garage 120v no Gas

    If you could get the electric bumped up to 30 amp, "cadet" the hot one is about $250 special order from home Depot. I chose the special order cuz it was actually cheaper than the stock 4,ooo watt, for 5,ooo watt. It's quiet, and really moves the air. The stock unit is only 20 amp but probably...

    "Mini garage door" as bedroom door?

    Seconding the pocket door. Could use rc car parts probably much cheaper than linear actuator, and the plastic parts would be far easier to "over ride" in the event. I applaud the concept you were going for, but long term may not be the best. If it was a phase, in a few years he may regret the...

    Water heater issues

    Most private wells have anode rod removed by plumber at install, cuz he doesn't want to stock, order, or go out of his way to test the water to determine the proper material, and doesn't want the call back for stinky water. Not always the case, but a general safe bet. Had a few stink goes up...

    Water heater issues

    If you ever touch the lever, replace it! Also, it's NEVER a bad idea to add an expansion tank to your system. They last through the life of 2 water heaters on average, and cost under $50, but can calm some noisy pipe banging due to humidifier, washer, ice maker, and dishwashers. They also help...

    Old tymey CAST IRON steam radiators .....at 140 F?

    Don't blame you for the question! I've debated this dilemma on several occasions. Boiler in the house was oversized, cuts out on hi limit, poorly maintains on windy cold days. Finally found that golden goose freebie, had 4 of 12 cracked fins upon home design pressure test. Decided what the hell...

    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2016

    Dang swoyer, thought you hit the jackpot. Fortunately that eBay trailer park debate is over. Hopefully dude learns his lesson and locally sources a fart fan. And I'd say you got lucky with eBay siding with you, but may not be so easy next time? Not that I'm saying you'd sent someone to go snag...
