I’m not a pro and there should be some pros along shortly.
My non-pro opinion is it would likely work ok and as you mentioned you would put red tape on both ends to identify it as a hot leg.
I would think it will depend on the device you buy if it requires 3 conductors and a ground. Things...
I bought a stud finder about 6 months ago and it will find wires and pipes pretty well.
All the years I have been messing around with drywall I never knew there were wide widths. I see it even comes 36” wide.
Having never used wider tape I can’t say how much strength it might add from...
The reason for the dimples is they provide a space for the water to enter the trench. I assume they cut the old floor out away from the wall and dug down and laid tile and added gravel and then recapped the floor over to the wall. If they had just run the vapor barrier down below the floor the...
Hi Tilda I’m just up the road a piece closer to Erie. Our old girl was born around 1880s. Old places are special to say the least.
Looking forward to talking we are a nice bunch here. :welcome:
I just worked on my water heater and introduced air about a month ago. It depends on where your tank is located and how much piping there is along with how many places air could remain trapped. In my case I thought it was all out after 15 minutes of running water at different locations and then...
Welcome to the forum.
I think I would with that much slope build a dam across the front edge and pour a self-leveling mix in and create a level flat surface to work off of. Then when setting the pan use some stiffer mortar ad a bedding material to support the pan. I have never done this so...
That was the jest of my above post. If you have more than one GFCI in line in a circuit say one on the main breaker and then one in the bathroom as an outlet with its LOAD powering any number of branches. When a trip condition happens you wont know what GFCI will trip or if they both might...
Great tip and good info.
Without going too off topic. When I have something remote like your roof heaters or even a light switch where the switch location doesn’t allow you to know if the light is on, I like to use a switch with a built in pilot light that lets me know it is on.
The way my...
I have mixed feelings about one GFCI breaker in the panel or having outlets spread around the house. In my case my panel is in the basement and it’s a century old house with a unfinished field stone basement, a door from the kitchen that normally stays bolted and some old time stairs to get down...
You can’t be too safe. When I was young and had my first apartment a second floor flat in the city. It was an old place that had a first and second floor front porch. I had a big party and invited the people downstairs as to not have them turn me in for noise. I was young and dumb and it was a...
I don’t know for sure but I bought a new charger to keep on my tractor over the winter. All my old chargers just pump out juice and are not at all “smart”. This new does more than just charge the battery and has some smart features that help actually maintain the battery. I remember reading it...
As posted above. Take your cartridge that you suspect is bad to your neighborhood Ace Hardware along with the manufacture of your valve and they will likely have a replacment. If they don’t they should be able to have one in stock within a day or two.
Buying on line is an option but...
