Thanks for your response. That was what I was afraid of. It'll be a big job either way because it means either removing the tub or tearing into an external wall - neither of which is something I want to tackle. I'll try connecting with the manufacturer (if there is any info on the spout) or...

Hi folks, I have a tub that I was hoping to install a shower head onto for an easier place to bathe my baby. This was the plumbing I found when I removed the faucet,which was held on with a set screw. I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but I have not. Is there an adapter of some kind...

Those of you saying not to tap into the dryer circuit, is that because you assume the dryer would be in use? I have pondered this exact scenario for myself (I don't have an EV). My house was set up with both natural gas and power at the dryer location, and I opted to use gas.

Assuming you are referring to in-attic installations? Mine is in the garage with all connections to and from out in the open. Obviously, it could dump 50 gallons in my garage, which wouldn't be pleasant, but seems to be relatively low risk?

Thanks everyone for your input! To be clear, the part that needs replacement is the temperature sensor based on the error code, not a heating element - as Jim said, I don't believe this unit would have any elements. The person on the phone said I would need to drain it to replace the sensor...

Upon further inspection, I do have an error code for the temperature sensor. I went to the manufacturers website to see what replacing the sensor entails. Put in my serial number, and it turns out my unit was manufactured in 2012, and with its 9 year warranty, replacement parts are still under...

I have not flushed my water heater since we bought the house 3 years ago. I am quite confident it had not been flushed for at least 5 years prior given the understanding I have of the circumstances, and if I had to guess, it likely was never flushed for the life of the water heater. If the 4...

Unfortunately there are no markings of any kind on the doors, so no way of knowing. My guess is it goes back to the original build (1994). Yes, wood door. I haven't measured the slab, but I haven't seen any signs of it being un-level. I do fear the door may have warped a bit and the corners...

Wanted to get some input from the gurus here. My garage door was a mess, but I'm getting close to keeping dust off my weekend car and preventing bugs/rodents from entering. I have already: 1.) Adjusted the ridiculously misaligned rollers to align the door close to the wall. 2.) Added weather...

Thanks. My furnace is in the garage so all options would be viable. I'll have to get a look at them to see what makes the most sense.

How do you guys clean the coils, just take a shop vac to them?

Based on the next reply, looks like that is the case with NEC as well. Thanks for the box extender reference, but I will either leave it or remove the drywall as those would be the easier/quicker options. :) Excellent, thank you for that. I will actually measure the offset and see how far back...

I know ideally the cover should be flush with the box, not the drywall. I removed a standard porcelain light fixture, and you can see it was flush on drywall (discolored drywall) rather than on the box. How critical is it to take a blade around my new cover and enable it to sit flush against the...

Even though it's low voltage?

Looks unfinished. I believe you could tuck the cord behind the baseboard when you install that (is that ok per code?), but you are stuck with the outlet as is.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll go ahead and add another outlet rather than move this one. Pretty much the same amount of work so no reason not to.

I believe I own it. It's really just an access panel (probably a better term for it) in the side of my house with the main cable line coming in, and the origination of my home runs for cable to various locations in my home. The only other thing in there is the last outlet in my garage circuit...

I have a duplex power outlet inside my cable service box. This is pretty common in homes out here. My question is, if I am not putting my router or other device in there that requires electricity, is there any con in removing this power outlet? Do the cable technicians need power for anything...

I used to let HD store them for me, but really got tired of making a run 1-2 times for a simple project - sometimes you realize the best course of action is some fitting you didn't think you needed when you assessed the situation and made the first run. After a couple cases like that, I try to...

It's prevalent. If you look carefully in the first pic, you can see that the first step is completely gone in the center (I chipped it away so it would be a bit more presentable), and there are flaking pieces pretty much everywhere (border of driveway, each step, etc. I don't like the finish in...
