Hello, I have a 15 or so year old MHU45 Big Maxx. First issue with it since I converted it from LP to NG 4 years ago. The system starts fine, induction fan comes on, I can hear the gas valve open/close 3 times I can faintly smell gas then it times out and flashes 2 times. My question is...

Hi All, Does NEC allow you to make your own holes in plastic gang boxes? I bought some deep boxes and the knockout in the back puts the conductor too close to the backside wall. So I drilled a 5/8" hole in the top of the box. I could use the break away tab in the back but thought it would be...

Installing a subpanel in my basement on a concrete wall. Be right next to my existing panel. Mostly for basement use but will run some to new detached garage. Is there a certain size for the plywood to be? How much needs to stick above/below the panel to secure conductors? I may run my three...

Utility ran a natural gas line down my street this spring. I am excited to get hooked up but need to convert my LP appliances. In garage #2 I have a Mr Heater 45,000 (MHU45) with the older RobertShaw 2000DER valve. The Mr Heater part I need 60066 is no longer available. I can find the...

Have a thickened slab pad poured. Only has gravel under it. Has 12 inch think perimeter and a 12" stub wall on top of the pad. The pad has "waterstop" between it and the stub wall. Is it worth insulating around the outside? I was thinking Dow Corning 2" that is r10. I would keep it below...

Concrete gets poured Tuesday morning, concrete contractor will finish forms tomorrow and it gets inspected then too. 12 inch thickened slab on edges, 5" in center. Couple basic questions, I asked him and he says he'll do it anyway I specify, which doesn't help me. He basically doesn't want...

Hi Bulding a new 24x30 garage. It will be mostly for storage of boat, utility trailer, a classic car. I am debating with myself if the use of Attic trusses would be worth the added $1100. I do have treestands and some other things that could go up there. But in general I could probably...

Building a second garage out back that will be mostly for storage, 24x30. I like the look of epoxy or other coated floors but every one I have seen is slippery when wet. Do any have traction added? There are lots of fine sands (Sharkskin) that can be added to regular paints but will this work...
