There are probably many posts concerning this, but... I have a Craftsman 5.6 KW portable genset circa 2008. I start it every fall/end-of-summer (just ran it today) for an operational check for about 1 hour and refuel it to top the tank off for use in Winter if we have a power outage. It sits...

I'm not much of a carpenter/house builder, but I would appreciate any input. My neighbor and her husband bought a 1910 farmhouse and have been busy for the past 2 years rehabbing it (new roof, new block foundation, etc.). They are now in the process of replacing the exterior siding (original...

I have an LG 15K window unit that I installed so that the condensate would drain from the pan (3/4" front to back drop) with the factory supplied drain. The unit instructions seem to tilt toward allowing the unit to sit level and let the condenser/slinger fan "spray" condensate on the...

My long-distance sister-in-law claims to have a kitchen gas range that will not be able to ignite the surface burners via a match or other flame source during an electrical power failure. I was unable to discern the make/model of the unit. Does anyone know of a gas range that will not allow...

I need a source/supplier for an indicator LED/small incandescant to alert me when the home power provider is on line when I am on genset power during a power outage. I am a competent elecrician and can install/wire-in a box for the indicator adjacent to to the panel which is indoors. The home...
