Thanks Ron.

Thank you Greg S. for answering my initial posted question about siding, without going into a dissertation on framing, materials, etc. I did find a video on removing and replacing siding that shows it is possible to start removing the siding at the middle of the wall (new window location) as opposed...

I thought these forums are used to help inform and educate us so that we may decide whether or not we want to undertake a project. Don't worry, Ron, I'm not about to cut a hole in the side of my home if I'm not sure what I'm doing. I'm surprised you felt the need to say that.

Guys I really appreciate your input. Now I have to revert back to my original question, which is how do I go about pulling back the siding? A zip tool is what I need to pull back the siding? Is it available at HD or Lowe's? Where do I start on the siding? It appears I will have to cut and bend the s...

I must have been doing something incorrectly because these pics don't come anywhere close to the 250 KB size limit after I resized them. They should be good enough though to indicate what I have, and what is involved to install a similar window.

I have taken 4 pics and uploaded them to my computer but when I try to attach just one pic to my post, I get a message saying the file is too big. I tried....

I will work on posting pics. I don't have the latest digital technology and it's a pain in the a$$ getting a pic from my phone to the memory card, to the computer, and here. Maybe that should be my next priority, lol. Let me know if there is any particular procedure involved in posting pics here. I'...

Thanks for the reply, ponch. Here is my situation: none of the windows on my home are trimmed out. The windows have a flat fin all the way around that lays against the siding, with the siding extending behind that fin about an inch. Anything different than that will stand out like a sore thumb. So i...

Hi ladies and gents, I have done numerous searches here and on google trying to find info on a brand new window install. All I can find is info on replacing an existing window. I want to put a window in my bathroom where this is no existing window. From what I've been able to gather, the window scre...

Those furnaces are sweet. I installed a Trane 90% efficient furnace in my "real" home with a variable speed blower motor that I could set by DIP switches to get the temperature rise and cfm exactly where I wanted it. It was also a 2-stage gas valve and control module. I miss it. What make/...

My quest is to find the best way to run the blower on high for heat and cool, leave it that way, and not be concerned about how it is wired.

I see no one got back with you. Did you ever solve the problem?

My White-Rodgers 1F78 t-stat DOES operate off the batteries but also has a "LOW BATTERY" display. When batteries are low for a period of 4 weeks, the stat will revert to a 10 degree higher setpoint for cooling and a 10 degree lower setpoint for heating. I like this stat, it maintains a con...

My daughter's home has poor air flow at all of the registers and I suspect a problem with the ducting. The home has no slab or rock base beneath it, just muck, and no one wants to get under there. There is little, if any, difference in the air flow with the closet door open and access panel off. The...

As Robert said, did you check all the connections for a possible loose wire?
