OK, so now I'm really confused

Heh....Sorry. Yeah, I basically would just like to enclose a free standing woodburner into a cinder block alcove with 12 " of clearance around the unit. 36" above...

Thanks for the tips! I would be installing a brand new free stander. The size of the enclosure would be determined by my choice (around 28-30 " wide). So, you're saying that because this would...

I am trying to plan a Woodburner install as per the following diagram:

15666

The woodburner would stand within a cinder block enclosure leaving 12" of clearance to each side and 8 inches to the...

Heh!! So would I. Thanks, Gary! I have been leaning toward replacing it also. Parts and labor (Yeah, I could do it...but......) would surely run up to 150-200 and a replacement runs about...

I installed a high loop (about 12 years ago). No disposal. It goes in the downpipe of the P trap, just before the trap, via a Y connection.

My dishwasher doesn't drain all of the waste water from the tub. There is the same amount of water in the tub each and every time I run a cycle. I have pulled the drain hose off and watched it...

Thanks nukeman. Hooked it up that way and she be heatin'!

Off I go to the Depot!

Ahhhhh..... Thank you nukeman. I read this about the voltage somewhere else, but couldn't get an explanation. Or at least one I could understand. I thought.....well, I thought wrong.

I'll go...

I used a 20A 2-circuit circuit breaker. There is only one buss bar clip.

Oh. I didn't check continuity. Where can i check that at the two power leads?

It's definitely 500W

Hey!

This is more an electrical issue so, I'll post it here. I am installing a 240V 500 Watt Cadet baseboard heater in a bedroom I am remodeling. I ran the NMB from a single pole 20A double...

I used a jackhammer on a similar project with a bathroom relocation (opposite side of plumbing wall) to put in a bedroom on my first floor. I used a fiber reinforced blade on a circular saw to cut a...

Hello all,

I have an Astracast white composite material double bowl corner sink that I installed in my kitchen remodel I did in 1998/99. Of course, over the years, it's accumulated a few chips...

Thanks Jim. Yeah, I'm taking out the refrigerator GFCI. It was a little unecessary overkill and I think this little episode killed my ice maker. The control module doesn't show any continuity and...

Have a electrical problem with a Pass Seymour Timer switch on a bathroom remodel I am currently undertaking. Attached is a rendering of the wiring involved:

Guys thanks, but I think this is a case of Multimeter operator malfunction (ME) than an electrical problem. It was combination of weak battery and just me being a dope. Thanks!

I really need a...

Using a Multimeter to check voltages at my receptacles, I have found that no matter what outlet I check, I am getting 159.6v. I checked my 110/120v circuits at the breaker box and they are...

I found that out very quickly in my beginning shade tree plumbing career. Working on a jet pump well system used to pull water from Lake of Egypt (S. Illinois), uphill 120 feet to my house. I...

Yeah...if I was still in the Chicago area, I would probably be in good shape. Down here in S. Illinois we usually have to whittle 'em ourselves and hope they work. :D

Hmmm. I posted it as an image and I can see it. Don't know what is up.

Here it is again:

I think it's a Kohler,...

Thanks, Jim. I replaced one of the stem valves about ten years ago and it was a bit of a booger to find. I was thinking that the threads were fairly standard, so new stem valves matching the new...

I have the below Rough-In Valve:

Not sure the manufacturer. There was an original construction manila tag wrapped...

I have the below two handle Rough-In Valve.

It's 25 years old appears to be in really good shape. Of course, I am...
