Thanks.
I called Filter Queen.
They charge far too much for simple filter paper.

"Expensive?" Outrageous.
From others I have heard that they pressure suckers into buying these...

I am a chimney sweep.
Use two wrenches; adjustable, socket, open or closed end, and with one on each end of the bolt, loosen the bolt holding the handle to the damper support brace.

Then tighten...

Anything *I* can do to remove the moisture? Can't afford to have anyonelse do it?
I am thinking of drilling a hole at the bottom and pushing some desiccant up inside.

At leasthe water is...

Fascinating!
Wish you could take close-up photos and photos of where the strings connect or are fastened.
How easy to break?

Yes, keep a log of when you detect the smell.
Could it be when a neighbor arrives home from work and smokes marijuana?
Could it be from house plants, inside or out?
Only when it is warm or wet?...

How absurd.
I asked him what about his vauum could possibly be worth $2,600.

The next day, after making a donation at Goodwill, I found and bought a Filter Queen Majestic vacuum for $8.50 in...

What were the issues in the book?
Thanks for the advice on firstwisting grounds together, then cutting and wire nutting.
(I always made the wire nutwisthe bare ground wires around one another.)

Less than two years old. This should not have happened.
Kept in top condition by a perfectionist. (To minimize scratching the window, I don't raise and lower it much.)

Ford wants $218 for a...

In my opinion, I would do as you wish and not tell anyone.
If you sell, you may have to close the openings and do it right as it originally was.

Still, without giving yourself away and bringing...

Amazing!
Did the roofers cut the vents off in the attic or was it originally done that way?

Usually there are at least two "soil stacks".
3-inch for the toilets and bathroom and a 1-1/2 or...

If possible, I would like to do this:

Holes can be drilled up through the floor plywood and bottom plates and PVC pipes can be run up interior walls from the basement.
For second floor wall...

Interesting!
Why not also the whites?
I would not waste water and electricity by operating the clothes washer without any clothes.
A load of clothes will accomplish the task of cleaning the...

No health hazard.
Sewer gasses are under no pressure. The towel will block them.
Any dilute gasses will go out the roof vents (The pipes you see terminating above the roof.)
If still concerned,...

Thank you, KISS.
I shallook.
Robert

Thanks MB.
I'll go look.

Thanks, CFR and TK.

Best to have fans ON when outside temperatureaches 70F.
The warm dry air is pulled into the basement both above and below the floor.

With thermostats I could experiment...

I want to do both.
Pull warm dry air into the space between the structural wood floor and barearth, and use another fan to pull cold air out of the basement which is replaced with warm dry air from...

Thank you.

I want to warm our cold basement by pulling the cold air out which would pull warmer air inside.

120 Volt fan.
It is the amperage of a contact which matters more than voltage.
...

A fan pulls air into the house beneath the structural wood floor to keep the space dry.
Can a thermostat operate this fan directly from the thermostat's contacts, or must I place another switching...

First of all, who has been claiming that I have an ED issue?

Example: This Viagra, Cialis, Levitra ad which I copied here:

Thank you, Strat.
I was going to look at the coil amperage or measure it.

Yes. They conveniently don't mention that few modern appliances will start just from application of power. Our clothes...

Thank you, KISS.
The siren motor switch conveniently uses 120 VAC to close its three-phase contacts.
The telephone device appliance moduals switch 120 VAC on to operate appliances or lights.
...

Perfect assessment!
Poor volunteer department.
1st goal is being able to activate the siren from anywhere because they may be away
2nd is 5-minute timer.
Last is Steady tone: "Alert" and...

Thanks Ball.

I'd like that to call my cell phone, which is answered immediately 24 hours, to notify me of a burglar or fire alarm.
This house came with a system but we cannot afford to have it monitored by an...

Thanks, Strat and Ball

I'll investigate.
One system requires Internet access which we may not have in the field unless the appropriate cell phone.
Cell phone call would be good.

Robert...

Also I want to put lights in under kitchen sink and under counter cabinets for a senior with diminished sight.

The magnet switches are only 1/2 amp = 60 Watts at 120 VAC.

Am considering 7-Watt...

Thanks, TK.
Our inspector will not even allow a light bulb enclosed in glass and metal protected fixture - unless over the opening. To get it there, he says I should remove the drywall and patch...

Building codes prohibit an incandescent light in a closet.
Our building inspector will allow a light ONLY if directly over the door. (But how does one get it there after the drywall is finished?)...

I'm told there are "smart house" systems where you can turn on lights at your house remotely by CALLING your house TELEPHONE.
For example: You can turn on the furnace so the house will be warm by...

Yes. It means: mute - unable to speak.
But our dogs and cats always spoke/speak to us.
Piganini, my pot-bellied pig always complained. (You never sausage a pig!)
They are not the least bit "dumb".

Good of you to do that!
Was hoping they would change their name at their 100th Anniversary.

Funny.
My wife arrived from China in February, 2005.
"You want to get a dog?", I asked.
She say, "Prease wait 6 months so I can learn about United States."
I placed our name on the list at the...

Wonderful!
Thanks for saving Ollie from the dumb woman.
Now go get her spayed. (The woman.)

Sheeler (means "smile happy" in Chinese) is our used poodle from the Denver Dumb Friend's League (Dumb name.)
Neutered, 4.8 lbs. 2 years old when we adopted him. Now 7.

When we give him a dog...

So much heat is lost up the vent (flue) 24/7, is there a way to place a damper on the water heater?
As a chimney sweep on the roof after dark in winter months, I have warmed my hands on the lost...

Thank you very much, KISS.

I may use a simple 5-minute thermal switch. (Looks like a vacuum tube. I had a 60-second tube.)
Once on, it takes 5 minutes to heat up and turn itself off. (If they...

Need circuit schematic:
One button, or switched right, would turn on the siren for five minutes (steady tone) "ALERT", then off.
Other button, or switched left, would cycle siren 3-seconds ON,...

Thank you for the link.
Wow. This was merely my theory.
But I would remove (pull) the plant to make room immediately for the grass blades the leaves covered and displaced.
I want to use a...

Could you have burned it off?

Or dig up the dirt into a wheelbarrow and burn it off in a safe location.

After I pull (and usually break) the dandelion at its root, will injecting white vinegar into the root kill the dandelion?
Hate to use chemical herbicide.

Thank you.

Is the H300 an activated charcoal filter?
Here in Denver, I have seen many filters for rust and sediments but we don't have that problem.
But I don't see A-charcoal which would remove chlorine...

Interesting!
Wish thathisystem did not cost so much.

In our windowless powderoom and bathroom, I'd like to hook up the pump actuator to the light switch.

How much noise does the pump make?

Thank you. Did not know thathe water dispenser tank is at lower pressure.
That ruins everything unless I can create some kind of venturii to mix 200 F. water with cool basement water heater line...

We don't have a hot water dispenser.
If we get one, could I TEE off its 200 F. tube (1/4 inch?) up to its dispenser spigot and use that reservoir of super hot water to mix with the cold water in the...

Yes
Thanks.
That is what my wife wants.

But I would like to pipe some of that 200 F. water into the kitchen sink hot water line to mix and make "instant" hot water at the faucet.

The hot...

Thank you, CHayn.
So if I do the installation entirely myself, I would get back about $300 from the $1000 heater?
Can't afford the $700 now.
Yes, slightly longer for the water to quickly heat and...

Chinese wife wants sink-mounted hot water spigot "to make tea and ramen noodle", etc.
Our kitchen faucet hot water is slow to arrive.
Rather than buying a point-of-use under-sink water heater, can...

I presume the vent has to exit away from any door or openable window.
That limits it to the west side of the house which is far from all the plumbing which is on the east side.
When they say "tax...

Thanks, TX.
When entering/exiting the vehicle we're in a hurry so a switch would be best.
Placed in the siren unit, no one would suspect the switch enabled the vehicle to start. (I could use a SPDT...
