Could you run it at an angle towards the front of the house? Or run it over the door, down the white siding and towards the steps. If you have grass in front of the steps, you could go underground with a pvc pipe and let it out somewhere in the yard with a pop up drain.

Insulation would have to be better than nothing which is what I have in the wall right now. If I did just two walls of soundproofing according to HD, it would be over 10 grand - somewhat impractical. I'm just looking to deaden the thudding sounds to some degree and if there is a way to do what I...

I live in a condo with an especially noisy neighbor. We share a wall that happens to be my bedroom and ever since she moved in, I've lost tons of sleep due to slamming doors, in fact I can even hear when she closes a dresser drawer. I'd like to add insulation to the wall without having to...

Wasn't sure how to edit my last post but this is how it should read: The bottom piece of hardware you see in the pic was what got bent when the window fell. I ordered a replacement but as you can see it hinges at a different point creating a different angle. Despite being slightly different than...

The bottom piece of hardware you see in the pic was what got bent when the window fell. I ordered a replacement but as you can see it hinges at a different point creating a different angle. As long as I have matching hardware at the top and bottom of the sash, despite being slightly different...

Awesome! Thanks, jj

Does the glass look replaceable?

I have truth hardware but couldn't find the window manufacturer's name. So I couldn't go to HD with the measurements for a vinyl sash, pick a manufacturer and order it unless it was the entire window?

I have to replace one sash in two different casement windows. I was trying to make some adjustments to one of them when I disassembled it a bit too much and the sash fell out and the glass cracked. The other sash just developed a crack all by itself. The one that hit the ground had bent...

Ok thanks:)

I,ll start by saying I know nothing about boilers. A friend of mine showed me this leak coming from her boiler.

Thanks for all the input. Fortunately it's not my decision as to the species of wood lol

Forgot to mention, it's solid wood.

Pretty sure it's not oak or pine. Any guesses?

The entire panel was unmarked. Yes, I was definitely working with a hot circuit. If not for the faulty breaker that was jammed in the middle position, the wiring of the gfci would have been uneventful. I think the wiring of the bathroom had been changed over the years so there was no color...

Eddie, what do you mean by "opening the breaker?" Afjes, I read up on switch loops - talk about a head scratcher lol. There were three whites already tied together and then I added one more from the outlet. Are you saying those white wires could have been hot? The electrician didn't replace...

Thanks for the detailed info Sparky and everyone else, thanks as well.

I was asked this question today but had no idea. I'll have to check the panel to see if it's 15 or 20 amps. I know sometimes fridges have a dedicated circuit. This will be in the garage.

I checked all the gfci's in the house but that didn't change anything so the electrician came out and found a circuit breaker that was jammed somewhere in the middle position. I don't understand why the bathroom had power to begin with considering the faulty breaker but it was replaced and power...

[email protected] <[email protected]> 1:43 PM (21 minutes ago) to me Blue Jay, do you know if that circuit tracer will work if there is no power to the oulet? I know some electricians have a way of overloading an outlet to cause the breaker to trip in order to figure...
