Hope you bother to it in when you get it. Mine is still in the package it came in. Just haven't got around to putting it in. Plus I forgot where it goes.

My guess is that the seat kit you bought was missing the nut and washer that go underneath. If you bought it locally you should be able to get them to supply the missing parts. If not, you need to...

I had overspray on my truck last year. I first tried car polish, then a light rubbing compound, then stronger rubbing compound, rubbing alcohol, and a clay bar. None of these worked. I ended up...

Another thing to check is blockage in the vent. This could cause the unit to quickly overheat and shut down.

I suspect that your problem is with a thermistor. It's a type of resistor whose resistance varies with temperature. Manufacturers of clothes dryer, hair dryers, electric heaters, etc. put them in...

You might try trapping them in a cage. I've caught several that way, putting a plastic lid with sunflower seeds inside. I took them to a wooded area and released them.

I like goldstar's idea of painting it all the same color, combined with gunguy's lamp idea, and replacing the numbers with large black wood numbers (like 8" each) arranged diagonally on the left...

I suggest you invest in deep sockets next. And, I would only buy the 6 point ones. I recently rounded off the head on a steel bolt on a car using a 12 point combo wrench. I've done this in the past...

For eight years I annually used a deck cleaner, powerwashed, then restained our SYP deck. Actually, it needed it about every six months. Then I switched to deck paints. I've used several brands. All...

My Trap

Here is a picture of the trap the Trane folks installed on my upstairs evaporator unit. You could model this to add a trap to the unit in your first photo.

Sorry Champion but I was probably wrong with my assertion that the cold air was from the cold water draining in the pipe. See this: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060807175430AAOiM2o

Well, you may be right, but my clean-out PVC pipe is capped; so, it couldn't be acting as a vent. I'll have to do some research on this. If you're right, then I probably should remove the cap.

The cold air you feel coming out of the pipe in the first photo is from the cold water flowing out the pipe. It will not affect your cooling cost. The open pipes are for what Bob says, pouring in...

I would guess the one that said you need 120 volts is correct. I just can't imagine the ice maker being designed for less than this. I would do what goldstar says, at a nearby receptacle. If you get...

Without giving it a lot of thought, I agree with your analysis. As you no doubt have factored in, hot air rises, and you don't need to cool the top of the room. The fan should keep the cool air...

1. Yes, you can assume they just aren't showing the exit point. The pipe should slope down to the exit point, like a ditch.

In my home the door jambs are covered by the trim, except for a 1/4" or so reveal. So, I would expect that just sanding the 1/4" reveal after ripping would be fine.

You could use a jigsaw to do all the cutting but the corners, then use a flush cut saw, or an oscillating saw to do the corner cuts. To make the cut with the jigsaw you can probably use the door...

If I understand what you're saying, I wouldn't be concerned because the cement that fell out is non-structural. Once you put the foam boards up, you will cut off the air from outside; and the absence...
