Good news! They got it resolved today. The original 'professional installers' installed the drain hoses backwards and the breather line was kinked. We are not too happy. For the price they paid for this home, there should have been a lot better quality assurance done. We've gotten in contact...

It doesn't use an igniter, it has a rod that heats up. It's the valve that's clicking, you can feel it and hear it when you are close to it. It's also bizarre sometimes it will stay lit for 2-3 mins other times it will go immediately out. According to the manual, it heats up to rod for about...

I agree that the installer/builder needs to fix it, however there's an immediate need to resolve the issue before it's freezing out and can't wait 6-12+ months for litigation, so need to do something now until that process can be completed. The only other gas appliances they have are the stove...

My parents just finished getting their new house (double wide modular) built after suffering from a house fire. It's starting to get colder, so they attempted to turn in the furnace. To their surprise, it doesn't work. It goes through the cycle, it lights, and sometimes it'll stay running for a...

Hello there everyone! I am an avid DIYer, and while I am able to do most things, there is something that is baffling me that I cannot seem to figure out. I have been looking at installing a central air unit ontop of my furnace, that was replaced brand new about 7 years ago (just before I moved...

The walls on both sides are level. The problem is just that the thickness isn't the same thickness as the gap it needs to fill. Ontop of that, an additional layer goes ontop of these boards that contain the hinge mortices on one side and the door latch on the other. The entire setup is confusing...

Here are the pictures. The framing, the trim board, and a piece up against one of the openings where you can clearly see the difference in widths.

The drywall came already installed to the wall. We can't add padding to it. Unless you meant ontop of it. Some of the cuts would leave shims in some areas and up to almost an inch in other spots. The sizes are very inconsistent even vertically on a single frame. This whole thing seems like a...

Exactly this. The boards don't come attached, they are laying in the middle of the living room when it comes. The instructions say that you are supposed to attach them yourself, however the problem in lies that the widths aren't consistent, and the scribed/trimmed side of the board exposes the...

The doors are hollow core 6 panel doors. The particle board (wrapped in laminate) is the door jamb that attaches to the framing. The drywall isn't off. All that there is to finish is the door jambs and then mount the door, but the door jambs are the ones that are 8" wide and the drywall surfaces...

No they are swinging doors. The two halves are the marriage line where the two halves of the double wide come together at. The average measurement is 8" wide but some areas it's less. This photo is a single door frame of the two we need to finish.

As soon as I can get some I will. Posted this while not on the job site. Since it'll be a few hours at least until I can get back there, I made a "schematic" in mspaint. This is set if you were standing on the roof, looking directly down at the floor where the doorway is. The left and right...

My parents just got a double wide set and opted out of the rest of the finish work as there was only a bit and we wanted to tackle it ourselves. The drywall we knocked out easy as pie. What's left is trimming out the two doors at the marriage line. They are deeper than normal, and came with...

I don't have a riding mower, as my yard isn't big enough for it. Right now, all I store in my shed is three bikes, a small push mower, and a weed wacker. I am not sure on the dimensions of the shed right now, but it's a really old aluminum built shed. It's pretty cramped right now, but it's...

Thanks! I was just thinking, a 6x12 shed is pretty big anyway so I will probably make it smaller. Maybe a 4x6 shed, or 4x8. (Not much smaller, but a nice even dimensional size)

If I did that, I would think I would need at least the last 3 feet or so before the shed begins to make a 'ramp' up to the increased height, otherwords I would be lifting things up into the shed. I think that will be okay (the ramp, not lifting things up). I will have a gradual downhill slope...

Hello there. I am getting ready to plan for redoing my driveway, as it's in desperate need of repour. I am wanting to draw out the plans for the layout, but had a couple of questions. My driveway is about 6 feet wide, and about 75 feet long to the front sidewalk. I want my driveway to extend...

Awesome video nealt, but mines not frameless. It has a box, it's just 18" instead of 24" deep. I can attach it on one side, however the other side doesn't have a cabinet to attach to it.

I managed to get them installed last night, except for the lazy Susan as I don't know how to install it since it's free floating on the stove side.

I am remodeling my kitchen, and with it is new cabinets. I am able to install the uppers easily because there is a corner cabinet and a row on both sides that will make the width the same, however the lowers is another story. I have a Lazy Susan that isnt 24" deep on either side, and also...
