Replaced the capacitor, connected everything according to diagram on inside of panel, and everything kicked on. The wiring connected to the terminals on the plastic box are black to black and orange to red. However, the fan is blowing air up and out. Not as I remember. The power/ground wires...

Anyone know where the compressor reset switch is on a Lennox Value Series 10ACB36-11P air conditioning unit? Here is what happened. I was outside and noticed (heard) the fan locked up on my unit. Not sure how long, but I don't think for very long. I shut down and took off the top. After...

I'll do that. I may even add some silicone caulk on the bottom for safe measure. The wall is already finished with drywall so back of cabinet should be fine. I'll lag the toilet flange into the concrete and tile up to it. That will be the strongest and I'll use the closed cell flange you...

I'm back! Ok, here is what I need to do. I have two 5" black plastic pipes coming up level with my concrete basement floor. I had carpet layed recently and I want to cap these with something that looks better than a plastic cap. I found some bronze metal caps that screw into a 4" pipe and...

I am finishing a bathroom rough-in in my basement and have a couple of questions. Sink cabinet (wood) - is is safe to just place it on the bare concrete, or will it absorb moisture from the floor? Should I put something under it? I am going to tile the floor, so should I put it on the...

The light will not eventually come on if I leave the switch on. Like I said, I turn the switch back off, rub my hand over the body of the fixture, wait a second, flick the switch, and the light comes on. This did this since day one of installation. It is actually a direct replacement...

Come on, someone has to have an idea.

I replaced the light fixture over my bathroom sink with a flourescent. The problem I am having is sometimes when I flick the switch the bulbs start to energize and then stops. I have to run my hands over the fixture to remove the built up static electricity (or so I think), wait a few seconds...

Ok, I put it inside. Just seems to me that if something is going to leak, it will be the union and I wanted that to happen outside. It doesn't matter, I didn't have enough room between meter and outside wall to do it anyway.

One more quick question. Does it matter if I put the union on the inside or the outside of the house? Just wandering if temperature changes will make the union expand and leak.

Excellent! Thank you very much. This should save me a lot of work. Much appreciated.

I purchased a tankless water heater to replace an existing leaky tank water heater before I looked into the retro fit. I ended up selling the tankless to someone and buying another tank water heater. There is a lot involved in retro-fitting for a tankless. Gas lines have to be a certain...

I want to tuck the main gas line coming into my house up into the floor joists so I can finish my basement/ceiling. This is purely for aesthetics. However, the builder never put in a coupling anywhere in the line. I am only a few feet inside the house from the meter (as far as where I need to...

Floors slope. Both posts are grey with no above the floor (visible) leveling screws. I'm at the station today so I'm not able to check any floor rebound with the post out right now. There is a decent floor squeak in this area that I just attributed to poor subfloor contact. There is also...

I am finishing by basement and noticed one of my support posts was coming out of the concrete floor at a terrible angle. I checked it with a level and sure enough it was way out of plum. This support post is one of two helping an I-beam that runs the entire length of my two story home. I...
