I have a Liftmaster 3800 that was professionally installed in 2006, and up to now has been working fine. Yesterday, I pushed the local button and it only raised about a foot. Pressing the button again closed it, and a second try again raised it about a foot. I thought it may have been an...

OK, I am going to embarrass my self in the spirit of others safety or grief. I have a 8x16 insulated door with a jack shaft opener. One of the rollers came apart and I happen to have a new set of rollers from a previous home project, so I thought I would just jump in and replace rollers, with...

With the fires plaguing both Northern and Southern California, I often hear news broadcasters reminding homeowners to set their HVAC to recirculate, and not allow outside smokey air in the system. I am no HVAC expert but aren't all residential systems basically always operating in a recirculate...

My daughter recently purchased a D.R. Horton production home near Portland Oregon. It is a 4 bedroom and has an upstairs and a downstairs Mitsubishi minisplit. The upstairs unit is leaking condensate down the walls, she has learned this is a common problem via discussions with neighbors. I...

I have a Lennox Model MPDT 3328 CNM gas fireplace in my master bedroom, running on natural gas. It is not used often but I have started to notice that the burner under the imitation logs is not fully lighting. The flame is just not propagating across the entire burner. Also the flame is very...

My daughter just purchased an 1800 sq ft production town home built in about 2010 in Portland Or. She sent me the inspection report to review and I had a couple questions about mini splits which this town home has as built originally by DR Horton. The units are Mitsubishi, and I understand...

I am speaking of direct wire replacement, no ballast. I have seen tubes internally wired to be single end power, hot on one pin and neutral on 3 pins, and two pins shunted with power applied to each end. I just did a replacement with Hyperikon tubes that used the latter case above. Clearly...

Conventional wisdom seems to be that these should be flushed with vinegar (white vinegar 5%) about every two years. I have a granny unit on my property with a professionally installed Rinnai Integrity Model 2020, for an 800 Sq ft unit. All works fine and has for several years. I would like...

Ok, I admit I am stuck on two of these. Lower case blue e The black "I" with yellow I think I am good with the rest of them! How many brand logos do you recognize?

Vintage tools are not my thing, but perhaps someone in Northern California is interested? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/5371394088.html

I continue to read posts about people needing advice or perhaps a helping hand, yet I have no idea where they are located. One post lately the individual needed the use of test equipment I have, and would be willing to loan a GJ brethren, yet I don't have a clue where he is at. What am I...

I have to think someone on GJ could make use of these. Price doesn't get lower than FREE! http://images.craigslist.org/00101_2LjVl4yEW2W_600x450.jpg

I have been considering the purchase of one of these devices since reading of them here on the Journal. Does anyone have any counsel or comment on this one? http://www.nationaltoolwarehouse.com/Red-Fuel-Lithium-Power-Pack-P249554.aspx? I have always made it a habit to carry high quality...

These are in San Francisco North Bay area. I normally would not bother with such cabinets, but these are quality, made by Steelcase, and they are FREE! I do not currently have a need but perhaps someone on GJ in the area may be interested...

I just had a 5 ton condenser installed at my home. The home was prepped with power, line set, thermostat wire, disconnect, panel breakers, etc. Work was done by a licensed professional HVAC company. The whip is Sealtite, and the conductors used, 6ga I believe were red, black, and WHITE...

I am strongly considering having an outdoor condensing unit installed for my home, (it is next to the garage, so garage related). It is a custom home, built in 2006, about 4500 sq ft. At the time of build the HVAC system was prepped for AC, which included the coil, (Bryant CK5BXT060024AAAA)...

These might be the ticket for someone looking for garage cabinets in the bay area. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/4398120486.html

I have a 20x50 metal shed running the full length of the rear wall of my 30x50 garage. The shed floor is asphalt. I am getting a slight amount of rain water entering the rear wall of the shed, that is coming from under the flashing like material that the shed sits on. I would like to seal...

OK, before I put this on Craigs list I thought I would see if there are any local GJ brethren that could use this. I really do not want to just scrap it out. I have a 10 foot A frame, that I am retiring. I am past the point of pulling bodies off cars or the like. This is a very sturdy frame...

I'm sure this is old news but I just realized the meters actually provide a bit of useful information in addition to cumulative KWH. I noticed mine flashing and realized it actually scrolls through data. In my case it displayed current input voltage (247.*** VAC) and also instantaneous KW...
