I would suggest that you might want to check your building codes to see what is required. I believe there is a code requirement that AFCI's be used in all bedrooms for code requirements. A good way to see which you should/can do would be to have a license electrician come in and give you an...

I don't care if it is worth anything or not. I thought it was unique looking so I saved it from the scrap yard. So with that said I would still like to know something about it other then it a vintage tool.

You can also check out Roxul Safe and Sound. Besides the sound conditioning it also provides some fire stopping. Depending on the size it may be well worth the expense.

Thanks for the info. I have already printed it off so I can read it between clients today.

Paul, It is interesting to look at the link and what it says about the furnace. The part I don't like is that it states that since it is a noncondensing furnace that it should be vented out through a chimmey, since the exhaust gases are often very hot. This furnace is vented through the...

The outside walls I don't feel are insulated at all but I will find that out in the next couple months when I start to deal with a roof issue. Now for the crawl space I would almost bet that there is not insulation or vapor barrier at all and current no way to shut what air vents are in the...

Welcome to both of you. Sanduoy you stated you moved back to Ohio so where in Ohio are you located? Khepler1121 from your pictures it almost looked like you are from the Buckeye state and if so where are you located. I am located in Columbus but get around to the west side (Indian Lake, Lima...

To answer you question Joecaption is that yes the house is built with a crawl space. I don't believe there is any vapor barrier on the ground or any insulation between the floor joist. When my wife purchased the place it was completely remodeled but I am finding he didn't do a very good job at...

OK, I have a single story 1,100 square foot house. It has central heat and air but I would like some information on the current furnace in the house is a Ruud Silhouette II gas and the model number is UGPH-07EAUER. I would like to know how old this furnace is and what the BTU of it would be...

OK, I know that I need to do some Insulation in my homes (2). I know there are a lot of different kinds/brands available to purchase. So my question is what is the best to use or is there maybe a combination of two to use. I did find a website that advertising a product called Foam it Green...

OK, here are the pictures of the patio door with the mod. Well, I tried to attach 3 pictures but this is the only one that would upload because the other two failed to upload. I tried each picture as a sepately but it did not work.

I have an issue with a patio door at a second home that my wife owns in western Ohio. The house is around a lake area but not on the lake. We leave the heat on during the winter with the thermostat set at 60*. When you look at the pictures you will see the mold on the door and it has gotten...

I live in Ohio and so my electrical question answer must pertain to Ohio. If you need the city it is Columbus. When I have the house rewired I know that there will be a number of holes to be able to chase wire. I don't feel that will be a problem, but does these holes have to be patched etc...

OK, I am getting ready to have my house rewired from knob & tube to code requirements. I have gotten one estimate so far and they talk about putting most of the wire in the basement in either pipe or flex. My question is why does it have to be either in pipe or flex. In 2009, I had electrical...

I read it on a web site 'Ask the Electricain' Since he is out in California it could be a California thing.

I have read and heard that now all bedroom lights must be on either dimmer switches or "manual-on occupancy sensor". What does his mean concerning the rewiring that I would like to do in my home. I thought I could just put in single pole on/off switches. Also, can I put remote controls on any...
