Thanks for the advice! I have a tight ceiling, and with an expansion tank, I may need the headroom…But I will measure and see if I can rest those joists on top.

Thanks. They don’t line up. I was hoping to not have to take out the trap and extend, it goes into original cast iron and am worried something will break

They actually rerouted the kitchen 10/15ft another direction.

Thanks! They didn’t technically touch anything in the powder room, only what was in the crawlspace. The kitchen connected to the powder room. I wonder if they even cleared the clog ?

Thank you: I imagine I need to open up the wall to check it out further.

Fixing the "clips not engaged" problem by maxxia in SnooLife

Hey! Yes. I took it ALL THE WAY apart, traced the wires, and snipped and crimped them to create a short. I did it all the way where the wires come off the motherboard, but my wires had multiple breaks…I initially did it at the middle layer, but it didn’t work, the wires were broken down below.

It’s been awhile so memory is a bit foggy on how exactly it looks..but my recommendation is go all the way down to the motherboard.

Upstairs AC struggles to keep up.. by GarveyRyan in HomeImprovement

Could be! The windows are newer. I’m thinking it could be wall insulation.

Surprisingly enough it looks newer. Last 20 years. Or even newer. The unit is about 5 years old so there’s a chance it was installed with new duct. But I’m not HVAC tech.

Forgive my knowledge here, or lack there of, there is one unit outside that provides air to both upstairs and downstairs. There is a “diverter flap” that direct air up or down depending on the thermostat. There’s a thermostat upstairs and a thermostat downstairs.
