    Where to get seal kit for original maxjax (NON-Revised version)?

    Seems like my maxjax from 2011 has been revised. Because the seal kit that I had sitting around for the one cylinder is clearly different that what I have. I did a little digging and it appears that after 2011 Dannmar revised the cylinder. So now I have a cylinder that leaks but can't find a...

    Daikin MiniSplit question. Confused on specs.

    I'm at the pont now where I want to be comfortable working in the garage. We are having our entire house ACs/Furnaces replaced and I thought I'd have the same folks install a mini split in the garage. However, that's not happening after getting a quote back for $8k. I will install it. I'm...

    No suggestion but I found the straight up and straight down arrows! AWESOME!

    I am amazed that more sites don't have these two special features. When you are browsing the thread, on the lower right hand of the screen two arrows appear. Click the top one and it takes you to the very top of the page, click the bottom and it does it's thing. I know eBay has the up arrow...

    What are these black marks on hard wood floring?

    So after 40 years my mom is finally going to start updating her house. As far as I can ever remember the house always had carpet and it's always been hiding hardwood floors. I can remember two carpet changes when I was a kid but never once saw the wood flooring. My mom started cutting up and...

    MaxJax height adapter wall mount? Or any thing that might work?

    Years ago I made a little wall mount for the 3" height extension adapters for my max jax. I have since gotten their 5.5" and now recently got their low profile 2" ones. Needless to say I'd like to not have them all on the floor but at the same time, I remember it taking me a while to make out...

    Question on the wiring of this outlet in the bedroom (pics)

    I am going to hang a tv in the bedroom for my mother in law who is going to stay with us. I've mounted tvs and extended outlets/added outlets so my electrical work is basic but I know how to add an outlet on a normal wired outlet. However with this outlet in the bedroom I'm slightly confused...

    Easiest way to cut a 4x4 diagonally all the way through safely?

    I bought some nice tiki torch wall mounts to mount on the 4x4 posts of our deck. They are replacing the crappy clamp on rail ones we've had for years that are rusted and falling apart. I've come to the corner of our deck where there is an opening between the two 4x4's transitioning to the...

    Why do I have two sets of wires going to the furnace?

    We have a programmable thermostat.. I replaced it years ago from the ****** builder one that was simply temp up/temp down. On/off style. Everything works on this as it should. Air comes on, heat comes on...fan...etc. Only thing that is really kind of annoying is that the unit takes...

    Dumb question, how to cut baseboard to go around a half pole?

    Dumb question, how to cut baseboard to go around a half round pole? The basement is pretty much done. The only thing I have left which I am going to do this weekend is putting the baseboard around my modding room... Everything else is complete, floor done, paints, speaker wire run, tv...

    Waterloo tool cabinet lost key? Drill lock?

    Was just helping a friend move from one place to another and she gave me her Waterloo small tool cabinet. Has tools inside still, but she said she has no clue where the key is. This has probably been in her garage for 5+ years or so, clearly she's never needed whatever is inside..lol Is there...

    Opinion on how far bull nose should extend on the side of stairs?

    Stairs are coming along nicely, I'm actually taking much longer than expected since my staircase isn't 100% 90 degrees on the sides and I have to cut each tread accordingly and then shape it to fit... it's a tedious process but the results are zero gaps and I will not have to caulk the sides to...

    Question on stair treads and risers, what order?

    I can't seem to find a 100% this is the way to do it so I wanted to ask here. I have complete vinyl stair treads and risers. They will be going on top of my existing stair case in the basement that is not finished. The biggest question I have is do you put the riser behind the tread, or do...

    Construction adhesive questions. Urethane the same as Polyurethane glue?

    I'm at the point in our basement that I am going to be doing the treads and risers via Cali bamboo vinyl treads and risers. On their site they recommend a "high-quality Urethane based glue, such as Titebond Fast Set Construction Adhesive. (Do not use liquid nails.)" Titebond PROvantage Heavy...

    Covering or hiding lally posts in basement?

    I'm redoing our basement. Patching walls, ripping up steps, balusters, painting walls/ceilings, recessed lighting, ripped up carpet, putting down luxury laminate...etc. Anywho, while I am prepping my modding/computer room I noticed that there are two lally posts. For whatever reason the...

    What sealant use to connect two propane lines together (so it doesn't leak)

    I have Mr. Heater big buddy in my garage. Love it. Should have bought this years ago. I can get my garage up to about 65-70 degrees in about 45 minutes or so. I purchased their 12' hose a while back (F271803 12 ft) but it isn't really long enough, and puts the propane tank by my work/car...

    Blue-Point DMSC683 multi meter lead question

    I have a Blue-Point DMSC683 multi meter. I got it used many many years ago. It's served me well but just recently I had to sort of jerry rig it up to back probe wires and it got me thinking if I can use new leads with it as it would have made my life easier than wrapping wire around the test...

    Help with drainage in the back yard (pics)

    Saturday we got a TON of rain. More so that I can remember in a long time. This type of rain is rare. Raining hard in the morning and didn't really stop until the night. The back yard was filling up with water in places I never noticed before and especially around the shed. I see a couple...

    Can this water on/off valve be rebuilt or does it need replaced?

    So a little information. We had our pipe burst a couple months ago in the basement and I suspect it's coming from rear patio water on/off valve. I think this because if I turn off the main rear water supply line to the patio (have one for the front house spigot and one for the rear, note not...

    MaxJax washers for the bolts? What size and are there better options?

    So many of my washers that go through the bolts are warped from removing/installing the maxjax over and over. I have several washers that the head of the bolt actually has cut somewhat of the softer washer it seems. Is there a particular size/hardness I want for these washers? Can I just go...
