    Best material for filling gaps and cracks in siding?

    :agree: I would not caulk the bottom edge of the overlap. I would caulk all the vertical seams, cracks and splits in boards. I would scrap all the old caulk from where the boards overlap. Moister that does get under the overlap is trapped if you caulk it and that will cause rot. The wall are...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    Just a closing follow up. Switch is in and working beautifully. The Orange Apron guys didn't have one. The link I saw on G:(:(GLE, for HD, was misleading. The switch I got at the fan store was a Zing Ear but a 208 and that number was on 3 different switches. The store's # respectfully for...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    I found a link for switch (shunt) patterns for the Zing Ear switches. The 268s6 looks like the one I need. Take note; the rotation pattern is L-3-1-2 and the shunt pattern it is L = Off high = L-1 med = L-2-3 low = L-3 Just like you said. You knew the answer I just had to feed you enough...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    I think I saw one of those in my search but wasn't sure about the shunting pattern. I went to a local Ceiling fan store yesterday. I ordered the double stack switch for $11. I also found the switch at SwitchCo in Lubbock,Texas Friday afternoon but they already closed for the weekend...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    Thanks. I think you're right about the transformer. I got that term from the side note in the first picture I posted in regards to the switch shunting. But the more I look into this I have seen it referred to it as a capacitor. The switch I need for medium speed has to simultaneously...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    I'm thinking the 1st thing I should have done was identify the Fan. Sears. But did Sears make it or just cone it? Off on another search and destroy mission. Sears has a parts list but parts not available.:(

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    I'll check it out. I could just put a new fan in but you know the old saying. " they don't make things like they used to. Seems to all be crap." Fixing this one is that need to tinker. keeps me out of trouble. The part that concerns me is how the switch works in conjunction with the...

    double stacked ceiling fan switch #913

    I have this ceiling fan and the pull chain light switch broke. Not a problem. That switch is pretty common. The 3 speed fan switch is my concern. The plastic threaded end that holds it to the housing is broken. It works in conjunction with a small transformer. I don't think a standard 3...

    Hot Spring Spa leaking.

    Well!! I'm gonna try and tear into this spa. I just called the local hotspring dealer. He did mention removing the side panels but did not elaborate on how. So I thought I would give it a go. I started to just peel the siding off and discovered That the whole side will come off as a unit. I'll...
