Finally, replaced a 4-circuit 15A Transfer Switch with a 10-circuit 30A Transfer Switch for a 9000W generator. My issue is the 2-240 dbl breakers that take up 4 of the 10 circuits; one is for the well and 1 for the septic. The septic is gravity flow and 100' + 30' below the home, and there's...

I used Ultra Polyurethane

The treads and risers are all oil base stained, and as you can see in the riser's image, they match the floors on the main level. So, now it's time to coat with a satin finish. Being old school, I've always felt oil/oil is best, but what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The stairs go down to the basement so...

I didn't know about that stuff, might be a good option, thanks!

What do I do in this space? This is in my basement with 82" ceiling that is not level with the floor. There is a difference at the top of the tile to the ceiling from left to right that grows from 0 to 3/4" (excuse the blue tape, makes chalking a little easier). Should I just mud it and paint...

I have the poles installed. I got 1/4" plates to make the stance bigger and screwed them into the beam and floor.

Thanks, I had figured it out yesterday afternoon exactly as you described! Great minds think alike!

I need to put a wall in my basement for a bathroom but have many obstacles to overcome. It has to go in this spot because I already have the shower pan in (curb less) and the plumbing is behind that wall too. Image 1 is where it is going, image 2 and 3 show the obstacles and if you look closely...

See the green wall to the left in the image? A new wall is going in perpendicular to that which is where the floor the register will be going.

Here's the deal.

I'm refinishing my basement, installing a bathroom and putting 2 heat registers off one down run, one to the bathroom and another to the adjacent room. I put a T in for the down run that goes straight down to the bathroom adding a right angle register at the floor. The down run is 4" coming off...

So, I have an opening to my basement that is only 1 1/2" wider than the new metal exterior Jeld-Winn door we bought. The opening is close to plumb so my question is since there's not enough room to frame it with wood, can I just shim the pre-hung door to the concrete walls (I'll be using mason...

Thanks for the advent :):) Any vent tips are appreciated :cool:

First off please, my heater is capable of handling twice the entire 1500 sf house including the basement which it originally heated; remodeled 4 years ago and added new intake, trunk, simplifying runs, tying old with new but same plant (20 yrs). I'm trying to figure out basically 2 things...
