Don't think we have been getting any heat for a little while (not that we have needed it recently and the AC also does not seem to be putting out any cold air). I will call a tech but anything I can check ahead...

    Plumbing vs. me - and I lost today......

    Thanks for all the great feedback! So I crawled under the house again and started cutting out most of the nearby CPVC and those awful gray compression fittings that started leaking. I took out my brass pipe "assembly and cleaned up and removed all the tape and used the rector seal - probably...

    Plumbing vs. me - and I lost today......

    Thanks for all the feedback. I am going to take out the assemble and redo it with a couple wraps of teflon and then use the pipe joint seal that I dug up from a box in the attached garage. Any preference of which to use? And I gather I can really crank on them being that they are 1", correct?

    Plumbing vs. me - and I lost today......

    Thanks for all the feedback. Regarding the black pipe, I did have a leak at first - over torqued one of the hose clamps. I then got my propane torch and waved it briefly over the pipe and got a new clamp (I do double them up). That part is not leaking now. Of course, I will have to take it...

    Run ethernet cable or do wireless?

    Lots of varying opinions - but I appreciate the feedback! If I do CAT6 cable - that is pretty straight forward with pre-terminated cable. I don't know anything about fiber - what kind would I need - comes pre-terminated? What kind of routers/switches do I need?

    Shed height off ground

    So here is the update. The guy that moved it originally is no longer moving sheds. So I am starting at square one. So much for my $250 follow up move deal. Worked out well for him..... Now I need to find a new mover - or tackle it myself. Quick look at rates locally and they are starting at...

    Run ethernet cable or do wireless?

    Hi all, So I am nearing the completion of my garage which is about 200 feet from the house. I ran extra conduit for cable/internet/etc. with the thought of running cable out to the garage. After reading a ton of posts, my head is swimming - not only on which Cat cable (5/6/6A/7/etc.) but...
