Thx for the input thus far. I bought a better multimeter with capacitance and took off capacitor. Used screwdriver to discharge, honestly didn't notice it do anything. I have a 40+5.0UF 370vac. One side tested 40.24 and other 5.0. This is saying capacitor is good correct? Was it supposed to do somet...

Went out and took access panel off my Intertherm heat pump to check out capacitor. Real easy to access. Looks as IRS a dual run capacitor as it has the 3 ports on top. It disnt look as if any oil was leaking or bulged but definitely rusty. System is about 7 years old. Going to try to test it. Need g...

Also: for peace of mind. I used a crimp fitting that has the plastic collar at the end where the factory terminals are all metal. Basically you're normal electrical connector. Any issues?

Very self gratifying. Another issue has come up actually right before this one. The heat pump fan isn't spinning. Just went out and it moves freely but when try to kick it on you can hear humming. Immediately shut off. We've been running emergency heat and fireplace. Did a little research and start ...

Wow! No replies or input. Well I fixed it. One of the wires coing off the breaker of the furnace to the contractor was disconnected. Somehow the terminal had broken off. Quite odd. Simply cut off old and crimped new end on. Good to go. Wonder how much money I saved myself. Scary knowing loose live w...

Today my furnace kicked on and immediately kicked back off. After looking at my programmable Hunter thermostat it stated no a/c power. Checked and was connected solid. I proceeded to jumper wires to determine if was 24 volts to get fan or furnace to come on. Nothing. Did some research and looks like...

Screen!

I need to know if and how the shower drain strainer can be removed. I have tried but had no success and don't want to damage it. Thx. Mike.

So was there debris in the screen?

Are you talking about the pressure relief valve??

Yeah my footers are definitely below the frost line. I thought he meant he was on a pad or something.

I am going to tile it and it will be held in place with rare earth magnets and caulked using caulk that matches the grout.[/img] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/r...

Curious to see some others' remodeling pics. I am currently working on my bathroom. Would like to see what others have done with there kitchen, baths, etc. Here are a few of mine in progress. 1. Here is what I had after I took out the garden tub (that had been leaking at the drain, probably from day...

LOL nice! Let us know if you get it shooting straight!

Thx for sharing yours NMBowtie. Chevy guy also I assume lol. You got any pics of your tiling? Actually the 1/2" offers no more structural strength than the 1/4". I forgot the exact specifics. The 1/2" is usually used for the walls and people usually use the 1/2" on floors if they...
