HI - Apparently when my installer put my new condenser unit in, he did not install the correct orifice piston inside my air handler. He just left the one that was already in there. As near as I...

Stuck contactor - not an expert but have seen this happen.

Hello to all again. I really do appreciate all the advice. Another thought - I measured the temperature of the air coming out of my vents at various points and found the following. With my...

That's another reason I wanted to remove it myself - so I could remove the whole air handler and rebuild the air box it sits on. Whoever built it did a not so good job. Also I would like to build...

Sorry - I forgot to add. Do you have any advice what type / brand of cleaner to use if I clean it in place ? Thanks again. BILL

Thanks for the response. So - you think it will be just as effective to clean it in place ? I know it will be quite messy - but would try this if it will work.

I appreciate the response. I was already pretty sure not to use soft solder. I didn't think silver solder was the same. As far as trapping the freon in the condenser - I actually had this repair...

Hello all - first question in this forum. Have used plumbing forum and have always been appreciative of all the help. SO - I need to remove my A-Coil to clean it and have a couple of questions. ...

WOW - that's action ! Thanks for all the replies. I can fit a 36 inch wide vanity and depth is not a problem - I had just found one for a good price with a depth of only 18 inches ( so I figured...

HI - not sure if this is the right place to ask this - but here goes. I have a vessel sink that is 16.5 inches in diameter : would a vanity with depth of 18 inches and a vanity top that has a depth...

Thanks for the reply - - - no : they are not pre-hung. I thought about using side-lights - just was trying to keep the expense down. Thanks again.

Hello to all - - - -

I have a concrete block house with 8 foot sliding doors leading onto my back porch. I have gotten an excellent price ( for FREE ) on a set of 5 foot French Doors and would...

Hello to all - - - - -

Anybody got any ideas for a home-based business for an Auto Technician ( 35 years working at dealerships and fleet shops ) ? I would love to be my own boss ( and maybe...

HI Mark - - -

Thanks for the interest. Sorry, I haven't been here for awhile. Decided to put the shower on a slight hold for a while ( $$$ ) and install some flooring ( laminate ) I had...

Hey - - -

It's me again. I was checking on the website for the company that makes the floor mud I used for my little experiment, and according to the MSDS sheet for the mud, it contains about...

HI again - - -

I will definitely get a wood float - I just used what I had around for my little experiment. Mainly it was just to see how hard the mud was to work with. So I guess that some...

HI again - - -

I forgot - I think I may have mixed too much water in the mud. The directions on the bag
(50 lb. bag ) said to use 1 and 1/4 gallons. It seemed like too much but I followed the...

HI Mark and All - - -

Seems like all we do this time of year is dodge hurricanes. Haven't had time to really do anything other than continued research. One thing I did do was to build myself a...

Hey All - - -

Another quick question. So far - the only pre-mix I have found is at HD and is made by Jamo and is called FLOOR MUD. It says it is a mix of portland cement and sand and chemical...

Hey Mark - - -

Thanks for the green light info. I did not know that. And about the notching - that's actually kind of what I thought - just wanted some back-up. And also - do you recommend...

Hey Mark and All - - -

In my research, I have heard mention of having to notch the wall studs for the liner to fit properly. Some people say this is necessary and some don't mention it at all. ...

HI Mark and everyone - - -

I have managed to think of another question. Is there any way to determine / estimate how many bags of portland cement and sand I would need for a shower floor with...

Hey Milo - - -

Didn't mean to ignore your advice. That was rude of me. Believe me, I appreciate any and all advice / help I can get.

Hey Mark - - -

Just wondered if you get a chance, could you post the name of the stuff you use to seal the edges/curbs or seats. I would be less concerned about adding another $100 just so I...

Hey Mark - - -

I appreciate the quick response. Interesting what you said about the square drain strainer - so obvious but never really thought of it that way. No question - should be a lot...

Hey Mark - - -

Thanks again for the reply. I think what my plan of attack for right now is to decide what kind of tile and then price out my material list for building my own shower pan should I...

HEY Mark - - -

Thanks for the reminder - I did use a regular 45 and a street 45 when measuring. But I have another question. I don't know if I should ask it as another post or continue this one...

HI Mark and All -

I went today and checked the measurements on two 45 degree fittings and it looks like you are right : it will be extremely close. From what I could see : if you butted the 2...

HI again. Been thinking about this more. I think I'm either going to go with the pre-formed Swanstone pan ( and move the drain ) and then tile the walls OR build the whole thing from scratch ( and...

HI MARK - - - Thanks for the response - I really appreciate it. Your input has been really helpful. I have company coming in this weekend for a couple of days, so I don't want to down the shower...

HI MARK - I really appreciate that answer. From the measurements I have been able to take ( with everything in place ), it looks like I need to move the riser pipe over only about a few inches. If...

Kind of what I have been thinking. Would you use the Swanstone wall panels or would I be OK tilling the walls ? And does anyone have any tips / advice / suggestions for moving the drain ? I think...

HI MP2008 - I appreciate the quick response. I would say I am pretty handy and am a pretty quick learner - even though I have no experience with this particular type of repair. I did see on the...

HI - brand new to the site. I have an approximately 38 year old house in south Florida. My walk-in shower in my master bath is leaking. It is tiled and was obviously built to fit - it is an odd...
