Yeah I was surprised both ends were capped as well. They do flow to separate downspouts. The gutter on the left has a downspout about 25 feet to the left out of frame. I’ll have to take another look at the gutters from above to see how the caps are installed. I assume joining them will require...

Hi everyone, I have 2 gutter sections that have separated. Initially, I thought that the separation was where water flows to the downspout, but when I took a look, those two ends are capped as shown in the picture. Any suggestions on the best way to reattach them would be appreciated!

Yeah, I took the customer support's advice about cleaning out the air intake. Since it's such a short distance from the fireplace to the outside exhaust, I just took off the glass and went in to the vent with a shop vac through the front. After that, I haven't had trouble starting the...

I actually got off the phone with their customer support team and they suggested the same thing. The distance from the fireplace vent to the outside exhaust is very short since the exhaust almost directly behind the fireplace on the outside of the house rather than up through the roof. Is this...

Tried to turn on the gas fireplace for the first time this season and it wouldn't ignite after about 10 seconds. Did a deep cleaning last year and replaced the ember material. Took the cover off and did a light cleaning and made sure nothing was covering up the holes. Cleaned the tips of the...

Thanks for your reply. It was previously in a different room and long story short I'm installing it temporarily until we get a new fan so I can close the breaker and have working lights again. But that's what I figured, I've got it screwed into the metal rod in the third picture and connected...

Well I admittedly started this last night at the end of a long day. I think some fresh eyes and a cup of coffee helped. Took another look at the fan and there's a threaded hole on the mounting rod with paint chipped away in the same pattern as the terminal teeth so I imagine this is where the...

I'm installing a ceiling fan, but am unsure about 2 ground wires with ring terminals. The wire ends connect with the bare copper ground from the bracket but I'm not sure if the ring terminals are supposed to connect directly onto the fan. Any info would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I did some digging on the forum but couldn’t really find much on something like this. The house we bought has a backyard that’s looks ok at first sight but is in rough shape. It doesn’t take long to realize that probably 95% of what is green are weeds. So I’m hoping to get some...

What are y'alls thoughts on manufacturer refurbished tools? I tend to get a lot of things from ebay and when I've searched for some tools (most recently a dremel) I see a number of refurbished listings. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Hey everyone, The caulking in our shower is nasty and it's time to replace it. I searched for shower caulking posts and found good information as well as videos on youtube. But I was wondering if anyone here had a particular tutorial/video that they found especially helpful. It looks straight...

Thanks for all the replies! I've got 110V and budget is a couple hundred dollars. Not that I'm not willing to spend for quality, I just didn't think I'd need anything too powerful. Mobility would be necessary since I'd use it in the garage and out back with air tools for deck maintenance...

Hey everyone, I'm looking into getting an air compressor to keep in the garage for general purposes (air powered tools, debris cleanup, filling tires) so I don't need to go overboard, but would hate to cheap out and get something that doesn't fit the bill. Do y'all have recommendations for what...

I had another plumber come out, the recommended fixes were done as the expansion tank was shot, water pressure is not at 70-75 psi and I plan on checking it once every month or 2 from now on.

I see. Is that something commonly installed with a water heater?

Thanks for confirming! He said the check valve cuts off water flow in case of an issue. Something about it not causing further damage, but the precise example is escaping me right now.

We had a plumber come out for what we thought was a leak and it turns out our water pressure is too high. We looked in the crawl space and located the pressure regulating valve and expansion tank for the water heater. Apparently the expansion tank isn't working as he took off the cap and...

I appreciate the welcome!

Hey everyone, My fiance and I just bought our first house and are in the process of setting up for the move. Changed locks and doing rug, HVAC duct, and overall deep cleanings before we start moving everything. I'm on forums for a couple of my hobbies for all of the knowledge everyone out...
