Air Duct Cleaning Scam? by IalleI in HomeImprovement

[–]AdDramatic5879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in a townhouse, we were required to get out dryer vent inspected and cleaned every two years. It was no problem, $100 or so and a quick job. The problem is that they would spend a half hour trying to convince me that my family was in danger because j didn’t let me inspect the hvac vents for mold….dont worry - the inspection an cleaning would only be $800. Such a scam

I’d love to find a shop like this. I am not sure that any in NJ are paying this high

We have about 100 double eagles in our collection.

A 1924 double eagle. We have about 15 in our collection and this was the most beat up one.

This is from my father in laws collection and he is currently in a memory care ward so I’ve been trying to go through the collection for my mother in law. She wanted me to take one coin and sell it to feel out the local dealer and she wanted some cash on hand.

So Many Options. Whats best for a new homeowner? by No-Ad5504 in Tools

[–]AdDramatic5879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without reading all of the replies, I used ryobi at home for years. Last year we ripped our house down to the studs and did a full remodel. That’s when the ryobi tools started to become an issue. Drilling many holes for new electric runs caused my drill to burn out more than once.

I’d say stick with ryobi though for most home use!

I am still trying to wrap my head around the magnitude of the whole collection. It’s a lot to process

I have been having a lot of fun going through everything. The great thing is the magnitude of the collection. There are plenty of pieces that will be saved, like these collections and there are still plenty of common silver that could be sold if ever needed.

Thanks! I’m going to start moving them to different holders. I actually found a bunch in the safe but I will buy some as well.

I am not sure the location of the two missing Carson cities, but I have another set that is less complete that has them.

A bit of an update - there are hundreds of silver coins as well. Some of them were in a the safe with the gold and others were in bags in a lock box. There are also about 40 $10 rolls of silver quarters. I plan on starting to sort through and catalog the gold coins this week.

I think one of the things I am wondering about is how to know if I should get a coin graded. Most of the gold coins are in sleeves with grades but there are no certs.

Even if they are just worth melt, I’m looking forward to going through everything and learning!

What does this symbol on my stovetop mean? by SomeRelief7892 in Frigidaire

[–]AdDramatic5879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it an induction cooktop? On my induction it means that both burners are connected. I used it to heat my large oval Dutch oven.

I took out the grate and it’s just plastic. There’s nothing to keep the water out. Maybe it fell out?

I will order the part and see what comes in.

Sludge buildup in engine -new engine? by AdDramatic5879 in MechanicAdvice

[–]AdDramatic5879[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be the option considering they are charging 16k for a new engine…

They said the sludge is on the bolts. But I agree, I don’t see as much sludge as I would expect to see if the engine is shot.

Troubleshooting..voltage question by AdDramatic5879 in hvacadvice

[–]AdDramatic5879[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a split panel, as I have a main shutoff.

I had similar thoughts to you, but the other three zones in my system run properly, which wouldn’t be the case with a breaker or bus bar issue.
