    Alarm/Security

    Alarm/Security

    In the 80’s I had a shop a long way from my house & kinda off the road. I had a Doberman that stayed there & I had a ’70 Trans Am in one corner of the shop with no interior & I took the driver’s door off & laid down a couple of old sleeping bags in it for her & cut a hole in...

    Alarm/Security

    Had a good one & she got ran over. Too close to road, can’t afford fence, or a good dog right now. Haven’t lived here very long. We do have a couple of yapping ankle biters in a fence in the back that are supposedly my daughter’s dogs, but just like “her horses” I...

    Alarm/Security

    I have what we call around here an “equipment shed” it’s essentially a very well built pole/ tin building with an open face. I’ve been using it for a “shop” for a few years now, all of my tools are in there. It has three bays & I’ve closed off the two outer bays, but the center one is open. I’ve...

    Heil Propane Unit

    After being turned off for 9 hours I tried it again & absolutely nothing happens for a while and the main (house) fan comes on. Everything worked fine until this morning right before I made the first post. I have to go to work in about an hour, but I can check posts from my phone. It’s...

    Heil Propane Unit

    I just tried again & inducer came on, igniter started to glow & both quit & main fan came on. Short time later tried it again, nothing happened for a while & main fan came on. So it seems the longer you wait to make something happen more things happen…

    Toliet Problem

    Doesn't matter if it's solid or liquid only. The sink & shower don't make noises when the toilet is flushed, but the sink makes noises & some times toilet will flush by its self when taking a shower. Tank level is high, it has over flowed if you do a second flush too quickly. But, you can take a...

    Toliet Problem

    I have an old house (1945+later additions) the bathroom waste goes to a septic tank, while all of the other waste water drains straight into a field. It’s been about two years since I had the tank pumped. We’ve been having trouble with the toilet flushing lately. The bathroom sink & tub drain...

    heil propane unit

    The voltage drop is due to the ground. If you use the ground that comes out of the fan relay you get 98-99 Volts at post 5. If you use the main common you get 125. I connected a ground straight from main common to common on low volt board & that gave me 125 between post 5 & 7, but that...

    heil propane unit

    To clarify post 5 has 98 volts, post 6 has 28, post 8 has 0, but if I unplug the wire and test the wire it has like 28 & post 3 has 0 volts. I tried post 3 with the wire that goes to the inducer off & it was not getting any current. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
