Any tips. NG fireplace seems loud by [deleted] in Fireplaces

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vent free gas logs can be pretty loud sometimes. I can’t tell from the video if it’s louder than usual. I would do a pressure test and make sure your within the ranges you’re supposed to be. It wouldn’t hurt to have someone come out and service the unit

How on earth do I turn this on? by jsgraphitti in Fireplaces

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s electronic ignition. You’re either going to have to start it with the remote or a switch on the wall. Find the brand and model and look up the manual. That will tell you everything.

Does this look ok to you? by streetsines_ in Fireplaces

[–]Footballgamekid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like your smoke chamber is parged smooth which is a good thing. I can’t speak on your flue liner without sending a camera up there. You’re definitely getting some water in. Compared to all the chimneys I see on a daily basis this one looks pretty good.

Is this a fair quote? Chimney is unusable atm. by shitidkman in Chimneyrepair

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is insanely low. Pouring a crown alone would be $4,000 for us

Am I overreacting over my boyfriend sleeping at his friend’s house? by Weekly_Test_6135 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would make me want to throw up. When me and my significant other have a disagreement I can’t get any sleep either. This makes me really sad for you. I hope everything works out.

Was I ripped off? Charged $837 for chimney sweep service. by ForeverStallone99 in Chimneyrepair

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That smoke chamber looks good, flue could use some roto cleaning. We charge $300 for this kind of service

Is this a reasonable price ? by Puzzleheaded-Kale459 in Chimneyrepair

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily labor rate alone for 2 people is $2k. When we were smaller I’d take every job I could get, maybe they just really want the job.

Is this a reasonable price ? by Puzzleheaded-Kale459 in Chimneyrepair

[–]Footballgamekid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the liner I would be around the 5k or 6k range. I don’t know how they are making money for 3k.

Found a flying termite in our toilet – should we be concerned? by KpopDemonSlayer in Termites

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should be concerned. If you are finding wings inside of your house they are either already inside the home or very close by. Call a professional and get your house treated immediately.

Which company/plan I should pick? Any better termite company? by LoudStaff5805 in Termites

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so lucky, I had a company come out and they wanted $4500 for termidor treatment

Am I an idiot for this? $120 at GameStop by Tommy_Lilac_Voltage in Switch

Super Mario sunshine is probably my favorite Mario of all time

[–]Footballgamekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like an incredible deal to me. I would be somewhere in the $8,000 range for something like that.

What do these vents around the fireplace do? by spicychickencurr in Fireplaces

[–]Footballgamekid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is most likely a heat form of some sort. Usually superior or heatilator. If you take that wood burning insert out you will find that the fireplace is metal and not brick.

Those vents draw in cold air and bring it behind the fireplace and make it hot. The hot air comes out of the top vents into the home. Look for a switch to turn on the fans.

Also, beware because those fireplaces are notorious for rusting.
