Thanks, guess I didn't explain it too well, appreciate your fast response.

The insert goes in the existing fireplace and is vented with new stainless steel intake and outlet vents that are run up the flue by a licensed installer(plumber). They install the gas lines the...

I have a utica sfh3100w oil fired boiler with 2 zones. I've lived hear about a year and never noticed before, but the thermostat that runs the first zone off a honeywell L8148A AQUASTAT starts the...

Thanks mark, yes I know about the 02 barrier. I would love to use the fostapex. I recently put in some water pipes, bought a crimp tool and used the standard crimp rings. I should have researched...

I am in the process of remodelling my home. As I do I am going to remove old galvanized heating pipe and replace it with pex. It is a fhw heating system that has copper piped baseboard heat. The...

The subpanel will be within 15', I guess changing the wire and the breaker now make more sense, I'll only have to go into the main once. Should I just go with a 100 while I'm at it and allow for any...

I'm renovating a kitchen. It has a range top and wall oven, both get power from separate double pole 30 amp breakers. I will be adding a 50 amp breaker for a new stove, and also reuse the wall oven...

My truck recently stalled while driving about 30 mph. it was maybe 3 minutes after it started. Now cranks but won't start. Had codes 12,31 and 45. I disconnected battery and all codes are off now....

I have a top plate in the endwall of the gable, non load bearing, and it is on edge with a plywood spacer, rather than laying flat. Is that OK? Room was a carport that was enclosed and the plate was...

Thanks for the input, never thouht about the ceiling just the roof support. Room is 12 x 16, I suppose I could run a beam under the new height. Anyone raised their ranch ceiling before.

my ranch has very low 90 inch ceilings. I'd like to do one of two things. I understand the integrity of the roof thing. At the very least I'd like to raise the ceiling joists by 6 inchs in one 12...

Thanks. I'm not too concerned with the beam as it's a small ranch and the load is also held by a purlin half way up the rafter. My main question is what is the best way to secure the ceiling joists...

I'm adding a 4 foot addition to the front of my ranch. The roof pitch will run the opposite way and will make a 12 x 16 foot room 12 x 20. I need to run a beam across the what is now the front...

OK negative, term to the body and positive to the starter pin, started like a brand new machine. Thanks js. Any chance you can tell me how to hook up the alternator, or check if it even is. I have a...

Thanks I'll try it over the weekend and let you know

Seems like an honest appeal for clarification to me, maybe he should look elsewhere for the answer or fork over the $ for someone to fix it, I wouldn't even bother trying to help him out.

I picked this up cheap. It has a 12.5hp b & s engine. Never started using the key, I always jumped the 2 pins on the solenoid to start. Did this probable 10 - 12 times, now it won't start. Lots of...

Thanks Mark

I used the stubouts to go up to the toilet and on the shower valve. Do they make these in 3/4 for when I do the heat, easy to work with, but very thin wall, hope my son doesn't play...

I am adding a new bath and using pex to plumb the supply lines. It is only 10 feet from the hot water tank. All the existing supply lines are 1/2 inch copper right from the meter which is 35 feet...

Your right on mark. Adding the supply lines to the new bath, and later I will change out all the baseboards and galvanized tubing. My gut and my dad would tell me go with coventional copper, but...

Any recommendations on push to connect, crimp ring and stainless steel crimp connection. Thanks

There are two zone, one is a normal zone that was added for an addition, its all copper and newer. The second is I guess what the call a dual loop? One zone branching out for circulator into two...

I have a 1950's ranch with galvanized supply and return lines that connect to copper baseboard radiators. It appears they are using a brass or copper fitting that is soldered to the copper below...

Thanks mark, your input is very much appreciated. This board is the best

Is this venting is OK. I originally had another vent prior to where the shower entered the drain that ran diagonally to the far corner and up to connect to the vent above the sink, but was thinking I...

Shorten you backswing and swing easy. Concentrate on hitting the ball straight, not far. Once you get in a good rhythm, you'll learn to accelerate through the ball, not swing harder.

Thanks, I'll let you know when I get there, will start the plumbing from the other end this weekend hopefully, then electric, probably a few weeks before I get there, your knowledge and advice are...

What are your thoughts on aav's massplum2008. Legal in nh not mass. Do they work Also, if I did attach an additional cleanout, temporarilly until I could get to the rest will it function properly or...

I'm in the merrimack valley

Kind of split on that issue, I am not pulling permits, if it functions as well, then why not, I may go with an aav temporarily and vent through roof later. Just bought the place and need a new bath...

Not the best pictures, taken at night with a cell phone. Just moved in here, so lights are not everywhere. At any rate I think you are right, I might have been suggesting using the cleanout, however...

Thanks, should be a lot easier, at least once I get it tied into the cast iron monstrosity that leaves the house. In order to change that I'd have to remove what I guess is a 4 inch sanitary trap...

I am adding a 2nd bathroom to my ranch. The main drain is in the front middle of the house and is 4" cast iron (venting straight up through roof) and is directly under the only current bathroom. ...
